Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others on pages 7 through 10 of the Printer Basics book:

❏Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.

❏Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak out.

❏Don’t touch the green chip on the back of the cartridge. This may inhibit normal operation and printing.

❏Never turn off the printer when the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than five minutes.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Before you begin, make sure the printer is plugged into an electrical outlet and turned on.
