Remove the protective vinyl tape

Warning	Do NOT touch the print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts. Touching
	these parts will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
	Also, do NOT remove the copper strips; these are required electrical
	contacts.

6Push the print cartridge firmly, straight down into the print cartridge cradle.

7Close the cradle latch. When the latch is fully closed, you will hear a click.

8Load plain white paper in the IN tray.

9Close the top cover, then a calibration page will print.

Note: Any time you install a new print cartridge, the printer software prints a calibration page to ensure your print quality. If you are in the middle of printing and stop to change a print cartridge, the software will wait until your printing has completed before it executes the calibration test.

10If the Print Cartridge Status Light continues to blink after you install the new print cartridge, check the part number on the print cartridge to ensure you

installed the correct one.
