Step 3 - Connect the Cables
Note: The cable that connects the printer to the computer is not supplied with the printer. You will need to
purchase a parallel cable. HP recommends a high-quality IEEE-1284 compliant parallel printer cable
(HP part number C2950A or C2951A).
1 Turn the computer off.
2 Connect one end of the printer cable to the parallel port
on the back of the printer and snap both clips onto the
notches of the connector.
3 Connect the other end of the printer cable to the parallel
port on the back of the computer and tighten the screws
on the connector.
Note: Do not share the parallel port with a Zip drive or scanner.
4 Plug the power cord into the printer and then into a grounded outlet.
Step 4 - Install the Print Cartridges
1 Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
2 Open the printer cover.
The print cartridge cradles will move to the center of the printer.
3 Lift up the print cartridge latches.
4 Remove the colour print cartridge from its package.
5 Gently remove the tape covering the ink nozzles.
Be careful not to touch the ink nozzles or the
gold-coloured contacts.
6 Insert and push the print cartridge firmly down into the left cradle
and snap the cartridge latch onto the print cartridge.
7 Repeat steps 4 to 6 to install the black cartridge
into the right cradle.
Note: Both print cartridges must be correctly
installed for the printer to work.
