38 Setting Up the Printer

Note: The default black ink cartridge is Photo Black. If you prefer to use Matte Black (sold separately; see

page 128), you can install the Matte Black cartridge immediately instead of installing the supplied Photo Black cartridge.

Note: You need to be present during the ink installation process. Do not leave the printer unattended.
