❏Do not load paper until ink charging is complete.
Note:
Install all ink cartridges. The printer will not work unless all cartridges are installed properly.
4. Press the ink button.
The printer begins ink charging. It takes about two and a half minutes. While charging, the printer produces a variety of mechanical sounds. This is normal.
When the green light stops flashing, ink charging is complete.
Caution:
Do not turn off the printer during the ink charging process.
Note:
The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality printouts, the print head
in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and subsequent cartridge sets will last for their
full rated life.
See the other side of this sheet to install the printer software.

❏Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
❏The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such as the amount of ink
remaining, so that a cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. However, each time the cartridge is
inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.
❏Store ink cartridge with its label facing upward. Do not store cartridge upside down.
When using the printer
❏Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges during printing.
❏Do not block or cover the vents and the openings in the printer.

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing
damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
❏Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
❏Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.
❏Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent
the printer from printing.

the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong
orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
