GETTING STARTED

Your J210i/J205 printer ships in a carton and protective anti-static bag.

Keep all packaging material in case you need to move or re-ship the printer.

Pull your printer out of the carton by grabbing it on both sides.

While unpacking, inspect the carton to ensure that no damage occurred

during shipment.

Please ensure that you have a clean and nearly dust free environment for

proper operation and storage of the printer.
