Problems and Solutions
Setup and Software Installation Problems
The printer makes noise after ink cartridge installation.
The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its print head
for about two minutes. Wait until charging finishes before you turn off the
printer, or it may charge improperly and use excess ink the next time you turn
it on.
Make sure the ink cartridge cover is closed completely and no packing
material remains in the printer. Turn off the printer, wait a moment, then turn
it back on to clear the error.
You’re having problems installing the printer software.
Carefully follow the installation instructions on the Start Here sheet. Do not
connect your printer to the computer until you are instructed to do so. When
connecting your printer, make sure the USB cable is connected securely to the
printer and the computer. Also make sure your system meets the requirements
shown on page 75.
Close your other programs, including any screen savers and virus protection
software, and install again.
If your printer icon (SP R200 Series) doesn’t appear in the Macintosh
Chooser, you may have too many items in the Chooser. Delete any unused
items and check the Chooser again.
