To diagnose some problems, check the printer’s control panel,
as described below, or run a printer check (see page 9).
Follow the guidelines in this table when you check the control

Installing Ink Cartridges
The instructions in this section explain how to install the ink
cartridges the first time the printer is set up and how to replace
an empty or outdated cartridge.
Caution: Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge.
Installing a cartridge without an IC chip can damage the
printer. Also, don’t touch the green IC chip. This can
damage the ink cartridge.
Caution: If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily,
protect the ink supply port on the bottom of the cartridge
from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box or its original
packaging.
Store cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
Stand the cartridges upright, as shown (the label identifying
the color should be on top).
