❏ Make sure the printer is turned on.

 

❏ Turn off the printer, plug in the power cord securely,

 

and turn on the printer again.

 

❏ Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or

Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

Don’t use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer, or one that uses the same circuit as a large appliance. This may disrupt the power, which can erase the printer’s memory or damage its power supply.

2.Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then pull off only the yellow part of the tape seal on the top of each cartridge. It is okay if a bit of the yellow tape remains on the cartridge. Don’t pull off the blue part.

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t remove the tape seal from the bottom.

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

3. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.Be sure the tape securing the print head has been removed.

4.Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The P power light flashes, the B black and A color ink out lights come on, and the black ink cartridge holder moves slightly left to the installation position.

Always use the P power button to turn the printer on or off. Never use an external switch, such as on a power strip.

5. Lift up the black ink cartridge clamp.
