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.
Before you begin, make sure the printer is plugged into an
electrical outlet and turned on.
1. Lower the output tray and open the cover.
2. Lift up the two ink cartridge clamps.
3. Unwrap the ink cartridges, then remove only the yellow
part of the tape seal on top. Don’t pull off the blue part.
4. Tilt each cartridge forward slightly as you lower it into its
holder. Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the
hooks on the holder clamps.
Don’t place the cartridges under the holder clamp; you
may damage the clamp when you close it.
5. Close the ink cartridge clamps. (The color clamp is a bit
harder to close.)
6. Press the orange ink cartridge replacement button (shown
in step 1) and close the printer cover.
Ink charging takes about two minutes, with the
Ppower light
flashing and the printer making noise until it’s finished. Don’t
turn off the printer or interrupt charging or it will start over,
using more ink than necessary. It’s finished when the
Ppower
light stops flashing.
Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source. Follow
these steps to run the printer check:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the printer.
3. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.
