Warning:
The printer weighs about 88.6 pounds (40.2 kg) without ink or paper and should be
lifted and moved by two people.
Note:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
2
Remove all the packing materials and tape. Check carefully for all the tape inside and
outside the printer. Save the box and packaging in case you need to ship the printer.
3
Remove the two screws and the carriage retainer bracket.
4
Unlock the print head carriage by pulling the green tab to the left. Do not remove the tab.
Caution:
Do not push the green tab down or you may break it.
Set Up and Turn On the Printer

AC inlet on the back of the
printer. (Do not connect the
printer cable yet.)

Plug the other end of the power
cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.

lower with the first cartridges. Subsequent ink cartridges will last
for their full rated life.

Install the ink cartridges in the printer. Hold each
cartridge with the arrow pointing toward the printer,
then insert it into its slot. Make sure you insert each
