Removing the Protective Materials
You must remove all protective materials packed around and
inside the printer before you set it up and turn on the power.
Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet packed with the
printer to remove all the protective materials. Save all packaging
and protective materials in case you need to transport the
printer in the future. It should always be transported in its
original packaging or equivalent materials.
Removing the Transportation Screw or Clip
Inside the printer, there is a transportation screw or clip securing
the print head to the carriage, which you must remove before
using the printer.
1. Lower the output tray at the front of the printer. Then lift
up the printer cover.
2. If your printer has a transportation screw, loosen it by
turning its handle counterclockwise, as shown below.
Then lift it off the carriage.
If your printer has a transportation clip, squeeze the clip to
open it and pull it straight out of the printer as shown
below.
Save the screw or clip so you can reinstall it if you transport the
printer later.
Installing the Ink Cartridges
Follow the steps below to install the printer’s ink cartridges.
Install both ink cartridges. If either the color or black cartridge
is not installed, the printer will not work.
w Warning:
The ink cartridges are self-contained units. Under ordinary use,
ink will not leak from a cartridge. If ink gets on your hands, wash
them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.
c Caution:
Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you
install them or they may become too dry.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Lower the output tray and lift up the printer cover.
3. Hold down the Load/Eject button for about five seconds
until the print head moves slightly left, to the ink cartridge
install position. The Power light begins flashing.
c Caution:
Never move the print head by hand; always use the
Load/Eject button to move it.
4. Pull up each of the ink cartridge clamps to open them, and
remove the protective sheet from the color cartridge holder,
on the right.
5. Open the foil ink cartridge packages and take out the
cartridges. Remove the tape seal from the top of each one.
