SETUP cartridges

When you first set up the printer, you must install the cartridges that shipped in the box with the printer. These cartridges are labeled SETUP, and they calibrate your printer before the first print job. Failure to install the SETUP cartridges during the initial product setup causes an error.

If you installed a set of regular cartridges, remove them and install the SETUP cartridges to complete printer setup. After printer setup is complete, the printer can use regular cartridges.

WARNING! Don’t open or uncap cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving caps on the cartridges reduces ink evaporation. You can use the orange caps from the SETUP cartridges if necessary.
