Setting up your Lomond printer

Close the printhead cover.
When the printhead cover is closed, the printer will prime, clean and cap the printhead
automatically. This operation will generally take a minute or two, and will be obvious
from sounds emanating from the printer.
The power lamp will be blinking during this process. When the power lamp stops
blinking, your printhead cartridge has been installed.
If the printer does not seem to be priming after closing the printhead latch, contact support
personnel as there may be a hardware problem.
There may be a continuing low-level sound issued by the printer after printhead installation, even
with the power lamp lit and steady. You can ignore this.
This is due to printer maintenance operation which will not interfere with your printing.
