3 Attach two tube clamps to the left and right sides on the back of the
printer and route the waste ink tube through the clamps as shown.
4 Remove the outer and inner caps from the waste ink bottle and store
them in a safe place.
Note: Do not throw the caps away; you will need them when disposing of the
waste ink.
5 Place the caution label for your language over the English label, if
necessary. Then, insert the waste ink bottle into the waste ink bottle
holder. The bottle and holder should be placed in an area lower than the
printer so that the waste ink can flow straight down.
6 Insert the waste ink tube into the waste ink bottle. The tube should
curve toward the bottle and straight down as shown.
Make sure that the tube sits above the yellow line indicated on the
outside of the bottle. If the tube is too long, cut the end to the
appropriate length.
7 Connect the power cord. (Do not connect the printer to your
computer yet.)

Choose a Location for the Printer
Choose a location for the printer that is near a wall outlet where the plug can
be easily unplugged. Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat
sources.
Make sure to place the printer on a flat, stable surface with enough space on
all sides (see illustrations below). The surface supporting the printer should
be wider than the space between the rubber feet on the bottom of the printer,
at least 2 feet (60 cm) off the ground, and capable of supporting at least 220
pounds (100 kg).
