Once feeding the paper is finished, the printer automatically starts
charging the system with ink and adjusting the printhead. Charging
the system with ink and adjusting the printhead for the first time
takes about 30 minutes.
Install the software on your computer while the printer is working.
(See "Install the Software" on page )
MEMO
• Charging the system with ink fills the system from the ink tanks
to the printhead. In addition, cleaning is performed to keep the
printer in optimal condition. This may cause the remaining ink
indicator and maintenance cartridge capacity indicator to drop
some amount. The starter ink tank is for first-time installation.
It is recommended that you purchase replacement ink tanks
quickly.
Once the printhead adjustment has finished, the paper with the
adjustment pattern printed on it is ejected. Release the release lever
and remove the paper.
This completes the printer setup.
