8.

 

Watch the Toolbox screen on your computer again. 
Notice that some of the information is in red. As the 
Printer circulates ink and primes the system these fields 
should all turn black.

 

9.

 

When the Printer stops processing and all the fields in 
System Status are black, the Printer is ready for use. 
Close the top cover.

 

IMPORTANT 

CHECK INK TANKS. PRINTER MAY NOT FULLY 
REPRIME IF TANKS ARE LESS THAN 1/3 FULL. 

NOTE: The Printer may take up to 12 minutes to set itself up 
during initial startup. This is normal. The machine will emit a 
number of chirps, whirrs and other noises as it circulates ink 
and runs systems.
