7. Pr ess the
R cleaning button; then close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print head and begins charging the
ink delivery system. During the ink charging process, the
P
power light flashes.
Note:
Even if you do not press the
R cleaning button, the printer
moves the print head and begins the ink charging process about
60 seconds after you install the cartridges.
The ink charging pr o c e s s takes about two minu t e s to complete,
during which time the printer produces a variety of
mechanical sounds. These sounds are normal. When the ink
delivery system has been charged, the
P power light stops
flashing.
cCaution:
Never turn off the printer while the
P power light is
flashing. Doing so can result in incomplete charging of ink
and you will not be able to print with the printer.
The life of a cartridge depends on the amount of text and
graphics you print. The life of a color ink cartridge depends on
the amount and the number of colors used in your documents.
Note:
When the ink runs out, see “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” on page 7-2.
Now you are ready to connect the printer to your computer.
To connect the printer to your PC, see the following section.
To connect it to your Macintosh, see page 2-25.
