Install the Ink Tanks
Remove the Red Ink Tank (PGI-9R) from its

located on the bottom of the ink tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch the electrical
contacts.
NOTE:
· To avoid spilling ink, never press on the sides of

Press the mark on the ink tank until it clicks
into place and then its lamp lights red.
Insert the remaining nine ink tanks into their
assigned slots. Ensure that ink lamps light red.

pull out the Front Tray Extension.
NOTE: If the ALARM lamp on the printer flashes

5 Connect the Printer
and Load Paper
IMPORTANT: When the POWER lamp flashes
blue and the printer vibrates, the printer is
shaking the ink tanks. Once you have installed
the ink tanks and have closed the Top Cover,
wait for about 2 minutes 30 seconds until the
POWER lamp stops flashing and stays lit, and
the printer has stopped making operating
noises before proceeding. Do not open the Top
Cover while the printer is operating (the POWER
lamp is flashing blue).
TURN THE PRINTER OFF.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the printer is off before
continuing, or the computer will attempt to
install the printer driver before the printer is
ready.
Connect one end of the USB cable to the
computer, the other to the appropriate USB
port on the printer.
NOTE: The Pro9500 series Photo Printer is
equipped with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port. If your PC
does not support USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, or if any
non-certified USB 2.0 cable or driver is used for
the connection, the printer will operate at a
lower speed provided under USB 1.1.
Pinch the Paper Guide and slide it to the left.
Load two sheets of plain paper into the Auto
Sheet Feeder, align the paper with the right
edge of the Auto Sheet Feeder, then slide the
Paper Guide toward the left edge of the paper.
IMPORTANT: Print Head Alignment (Step 6)
requires that letter size paper is loaded in the
Auto Sheet Feeder (top paper feeder).
