Unpack
1 Make sure you have these items:
Warning: The printer weighs about 43 pounds (20 kilograms) and should be lifted and moved
by two people.
Note: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
2 Remove all the packing materials and tape.
Check carefully for all the tape inside and
outside the printer. Save the box and packaging
in case you need to ship the printer.
3 Open the top cover and remove the carriage retainer bracket. Then close the cover.
Turn On the Printer
1 Connect the power cable. (Do not connect the printer cable yet.)
2 Press the Power button.
After a minute, the ink cover is
automatically released.
Install Ink Cartridges
1 Lift the ink cover.
Note: If the ink cover is locked, press the Ink
cover open button on the control panel to release it.
2 Unpack the 9 ink cartridges and shake each one gently.
3 Install each cartridge in the correct slot for its color. The arrow mark should be on top and
pointing into the printer.
Caution: Do not touch the green chip on top of the cartridge.
4 After you install all 9 ink cartridges, close the cover.
The printer starts charging the ink. This takes 7 or 8 minutes. The LCD displays READY
when charging is complete.
Caution: Do not turn off or unplug the printer while the power light is flashing and you see the
message
CHARGING INK
on the LCD. Also, do not lift the ink cover or load paper during the process.
Note: The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer uses some ink to charge the printing system,
so print yields may be lower with the first cartridges. Subsequent ink cartridges will last for their full
rated life.
