Install Ink Cartridges

Once your software is installed, you see the Setup Utility that
walks you through installing the ink cartridges.
Before handling your ink cartridges, be sure to read and follow
these ink cartridge precautions:
Don't move the ink cartridge holders by hand or you'll
damage the printer.
Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink
cartridges or you'll permanently damage them. Don't
remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak out.
Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all
types of printing, or the printer won't work.
The ink cartridges packed with your printer are for initial
installation only.
Don't open an ink cartridge clamp to remove a cartridge
except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a
cartridge, you can't reuse it, even if it contains ink.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do
not drink the ink. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.

Additional Media Loading Guidelines

Don't use the cleaning sheets that may be included with
your special media; they may damage the printer.
❏ Always handle sheets by the edges, and don't touch the
printable surface.
❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face
up in the sheet feeder.
❏ You can load paper up to the arrow mark on the left edge
guide.
❏ In addition to the Media Type setting, remember to select
the correct Paper Size for your media in the printer
software.
❏ If the special media has protective sheets between the media
sheets, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
❏ If any paper you buy comes with a cleaning sheet, don't use
the cleaning sheet with this printer; it may jam inside the
printer.
