Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First
Time
Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others in
the Printer Basics book:
Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for
all types of printing, or the printer won't work.
Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink
cartridges or you'll permanently damage them. Don't
remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak
out.
Don't touch the green chip on the back of the
cartridge. This may inhibit normal operation and
printing.
Never turn off the printer when the
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any
noise for more than five minutes.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and
do not drink the ink.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
1. Plug the printer into an electrical outlet and turn it on. The
ink cartridges move into the loading position.
If the ink cartridges fail to move to the loading position,
press the ink cartridge replacement button, shown below.
2. Lower the output tray and open the cover.
