Install the Ink Tanks 1 Open the ink tank cover. Install the eight ink tanks. 2 While pressing the stopper of the ink tank lock lever inwards, open the ink tank lock lever upwards. 3 Shake each ink tank gently 7 to 8 times before opening its pouch. • Failure to shake the ink tanks may result in reduced print quality because ink ingredients have settled on the bottom of the tank. 4 Open the pouch and remove the ink tank. 5 Insert the ink tank into the holder oriented as shown, with the ink holes down. 6 Close the ink tank lock lever until it clicks into place. Make sure the ink lamp lights red. • Never touch the ink holes (a) or metal contacts (b). Touching these parts may cause stains, damage the ink tank, and affect print quality. a b • Avoid dropping the ink tank after removing it from the pouch. Otherwise, ink may leak and cause stains. • Do not remove ink tanks to shake them after they have been installed. Doing so may cause ink to spill. 7 Repeat steps 2 to 6 to install each of the ink tanks. Close the ink tank cover. • If the ink tank does not fit in the holder, make sure the color of the ink tank lock lever matches the color of the ink tank, and check the orientation of the ink tank. • If the ink lamp is not lit, repeat steps 2, 5, and 6. After all the ink tanks have been installed, the printer automatically starts charging the system with ink. Charging the system with ink for the first time takes about 20 minutes. Install the software and electronic manuals on your computer while charging the system with ink. If you install the software and electronic manuals later, wait until the system is charged with ink, and then proceed to "Load Paper to Adjust the Printheads" on page 11. During printer installation, ink fills the MEMO system between the ink tanks and printheads. The ink level quickly falls to 80% (40% for starter ink tanks), this is normal.
