Usage Features:
The setup process is divided into several key stages, starting with the physical installation of the printer and then moving on to connecting it to various devices.
-
Initial Physical Setup:
- Unpacking and Preparation: The guide begins by illustrating how to properly hold the printer during unpacking to avoid damage. It then details the removal of all packing materials, including protective films and orange tapes, which are crucial for the printer's proper functioning. Failure to remove these materials can lead to malfunctions.
- Power Connection: Users are instructed to connect the power cord, noting that the plug is designed to be set at an angle.

Ink Tank Installation:
- Accessing Ink Tank Compartment: The guide instructs users to open the scanning unit/cover to access the ink tank compartment. A caution is provided not to touch the print head holder until it stops moving, preventing potential injury or damage.
- Preparing Ink Tanks: Users must remove the tape and film from each ink tank before installation. It's emphasized to check that no tape or film remains, as this could impede ink flow.

Additionally, users are advised not to touch specific red-highlighted areas on the ink tanks.

An important note clarifies that if a color is not displayed, it might indicate an incorrect ink tank or one not supported by the printer, advising users to install the correct or provided setup ink tank. This process is repeated for all ink tanks.
