CAUTION:

There might be some transparent or

Install the Ink Tanks

Peel back the orange tab completely and

remove the plastic wrapper from the Cyan Ink

Tank (CLI-8C).

Twist off and discard the orange protective cap

located on the bottom of the ink tank.

IMPORTANT:

Do not touch the electrical

contacts.

NOTE:

· To avoid spilling ink, never press on the sides of

an ink tank.

· Do not touch the open ink port once the protective

cap is removed, as this may prevent the ink from

being ejected properly.

Insert the ink tank into the rightmost slot.

Press the

mark on the ink tank until it clicks

into place and then its lamp lights red.

Insert the remaining four ink tanks into their

assigned slots. Ensure that ink tank lamps light

red.

Close (a) the inner cover and then (b) the top

cover. Lift open the paper support and extend

the paper output tray.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure to close the inner cover

completely, or the paper will not feed properly.

NOTE:

· The printer will perform a print head cleaning. Wait

until the POWER lamp displays a steady green

light before proceeding.

· If the ALARM lamp still flashes orange even after

the printer has stopped making operating noises,

an ink tank may not be installed properly. Open

the top cover and make sure that the ink tanks are

installed in the correct order directed on the label.
