Resetting the Ethernet Card

When the Ethernet card’s status lights show an error 
condition, you may be able to correct it by resetting the 
printer memory. Press the 

 

P

 power button. After the lights 

on the card go out, press the button again.

Installing Ink Cartridges for the 
First Time

Always use the ink cartridges that came in the box the first 
time you set up the printer. Follow these steps to install the 
ink cartridges:

1. Make sure the printer is turned off (the 

 

P

 power button 

should be up). Then plug the printer’s power cord into a 
grounded outlet.

Caution:
Always use the 

 

P

 power button to turn the printer on or off. Never 

use an external switch—such as a power strip switch—to turn off 
the printer.

Don’t use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall switch or timer, 
or one that uses the same circuit as a large appliance. This may 
disrupt the power, which can erase memory or even damage the 
printer’s power supply.

2. Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then 

remove 

only

 the yellow part of the tape seal on the top of 

each one. 

Don’t pull off the white portion or try to remove 

the clear seal underneath the cartridge.

Caution:
To ensure the print heads charge correctly, install the ink cartridges 
that came with the printer.

You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or 
you will permanently damage it. It’s OK if a small corner of the 
yellow tape stays on the cartridge.

Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and 
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

3. Press the 

 

P

 power button to turn on the printer. The 

 

P

 power light flashes and the 

 

black and 

 

color ink out 

lights come on. The black ink cartridge holder moves into 
loading position.

4. Open the printer cover and lift up the black ink cartridge 

clamp.

5. Place the black ink cartridge in the holder with the label 

pointing up and the arrow pointing to the back of the 
printer. Then close the clamp, making sure it clicks into 
place.
