Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time Follow these ink cartridge precautions: ❏ Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of printing, or the printer won't work. ❏ Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink cartridges or you'll permanently damage them. Don't remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak out. ❏ Don't open an ink cartridge clamp to remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can't reuse it, even if it contains ink. ❏ Never turn off the printer when the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any noise for more than five minutes.
