Front Panel Indicators and Buttons
1) Cancel Button – Pressing the Cancel button cancels the current print job.
2) Print Cartridge Status Light – The light inside the Print Cartridge Status symbol flashes when a print cartridge is
low on ink or incorrectly installed, or the printer’s cover is open.
3) Resume Button and Light – The Resume light flashes when an action is required, such as loading a disc or clearing
a jam. When the action is completed, press the resume button to continue printing.
4) Power Button and Light – The Power button turns the printer on and off. It may take a few seconds for the printer
to turn on after you press the Power button. The green light next to the Power button flashes when the printer is
processing.
NOTE: The AC power switch located on the back of the printer must be turned on first, in order to supply
power to the Front Panel.
Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges
The Print Factory system ships with standard HP ink cartridges. The black ink cartridge is specifically designed for fast
drying applications. We highly recommend using the C8842A black cartridge for printing on CD or DVD discs. The HP
51645A black cartridge is supported with the printer, but should only be used in PHOTO mode. It can take longer for the
black ink to dry when using the HP 45 cartridge.
1) Plug in the AC power cord to the back of the printer and into a power source.
2) Turn on the AC power switch located on the back of the printer.
3) Press the Power button to turn on the printer (if the green power indicator light is not on).
