Chapter 2 Setup 6 Close the ink cartridge cover. When the ink cartridge is loaded for the first time, it takes approximately 8 minutes for ink charging. Do not open the roll cover or the ink cartridge cover of the printer, or press the Power switch or the FEED button. The INK LED (red) turns off. The POWER LED (green) starts flashing when the ink charge starts. Charging is finished when the POWER LED flashing becomes lighting. • When the ink cartridge is loaded for the first time, the printer uses ink to prepare for printing (initial ink charge), therefore, the first replacement period is shorter than normal. • Ink consumption differs, depending on printer conditions, such as printing and cleaning. • To maintain the quality of print head, the INK LED lights before using up all the ink even some ink remains in the cartridge. 7 Turn the printer on. If you turn the printer off without using the power switch, the print head may not return to its home position. In this case, the next time the printer is turned on, the auto head cleaning is performed, which wastes ink. 2 67

Turn the printer on.
•
When the ink cartridge is loaded for the first time, the printer uses ink to prepare for
printing (initial ink charge), therefore, the first replacement period is shorter than normal.
•
Ink consumption differs, depending on printer conditions, such as printing and cleaning.
•
To maintain the quality of print head, the INK LED lights before using up all the ink even
some ink remains in the cartridge.
If you turn the printer off without using the power switch, the print head may not return to its
home position. In this case, the next time the printer is turned on, the auto head cleaning is
performed, which wastes ink.
