Setup
This chapter describes setup and installation of the product and peripherals.
When You Use This Printer for the First Time
Ink charging and media position detection setting are necessary before you use this printer for
the first time.
Follow the steps below.
1
Load the roll paper.
For details, see Loading/Replacing the Roll Paper on page 78.
2
Turn on the printer.
3
Load a new ink cartridge.
For details, see Loading/Replacing the Ink Cartridge on page 65.
• Ink charging starts after the ink cartridge cover is closed.
• When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the printer takes
approximately 8 minutes for ink charging.
The POWER LED flashes during ink charging. Do not turn off the printer or open
the roll paper cover or the ink cartridge cover.
If the power is turned off, the roll paper cover is opened, or the ink cartridge
cover is opened during ink charging, ink charging will restart from the beginning
and an extremely large amount of ink will be consumed.
• When ink charging finishes, the POWER LED stops flashing and stays on.
4
Set the media position detection of the printer for the paper type you
will be using.
For details, see 2. Setting for media position detection on page 81.
Do not turn on the printer power until installation of the printer driver is completed.
• The colors of printouts may become abnormal if you tilt this printer or subject the printer
to any shocks. When you move this printer after ink charging, check the colors by per-
forming a test print.
• If the colors of printouts are not normal, perform head cleaning. See Auto Head
Cleaning on page 191 for how to perform head cleaning.
• If you turn the printer off without using the power switch, the print head may not return to
its home position. In this case, the next time the printer is turned on, the auto head
cleaning is performed, which wastes ink.
