8. Insert Ink Cartridges

(all models)

1–Plug the power cord

into the socket at the

back of the printer and then into the AC

power outlet.

2–Switch on if the printer doesn’t automatically

come on:

The printer’s On/Off switch is located

on the front left of the printer. It is a simple push-

button switch with a green light (LED) to

indicate when it is On. Switch the power on by

pressing the button once. If there is no sound

from the printer and no light on the switch’s

LED, you have a power problem. Check the

power cord connections and power source.

3–Select a language:

After up to a minute, the

printer’s front-panel menu will invite you to set

the language. The menus are available in the

following languages: English, Italian,

Portuguese, German, French, Spanish,

Catalan, Japanese, Korean, Traditional

Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

On the front panel, press the

or

key until

the language you want is highlighted.

Then press the

Enter

key to select the language.

1–Open the ink cartridge cover

and remove

the packaging from the ink cartridges, which

are in the “Installation pack” of documentation

and other items.

2–Insert the ink cartridges into their correct

positions.

Colored labels on the ink cartridges

must correspond with the same colored labels

on the printer. Note: HP Designjet 500 Mono

has only one ink cartridge.

3–Close the ink cartridge cover.

The printer

starts to initialize its ink system as soon as the

last cartridge is inserted. Wait for about a

minute until this has finished.

9. Replace Set-Up Printheads with Active Printheads

The set-up printheads are provided to protect

the

ink system while the printer is being transported

from the factory, and to fill up the ink tubes inside

the printer when it is first initialized. They must be

replaced by active (normal) printheads when the

printer’s tubes have filled with ink.

Set-up printheads cannot be used for printing.

It is important not to remove the set-up printheads

too early, as they are required while the printer is

being initialized.

When you have removed the set-up printheads (as

described in this stage), you should throw them

away, as they cannot be used for printing and are

not needed any more.

1–When you are prompted to do so in the front

panel, open the window and locate the

carriage assembly.

This will be accessible once

the ink tubes and set-up printheads have

filled with ink.

2–Release the latch on the printhead cover.

You may need to hold this latch up out of the

way during the next steps.

3–Lift up the printhead cover;

this will give you

access to the set-up printheads.

4–To remove a set-up printhead,

lift up the

blue handle. Note: HP Designjet 500 Mono

has only one set-up printhead.

5–With controlled force

pull the blue handle

upwards until the printhead is released from

the carriage assembly.

6–Remove the tape from the new printheads.

7–Insert a new normal printhead

ensuring that

the colored label on the printhead corresponds

to that on the printhead slot.

8–When you have replaced all the set-up

printheads with normal printheads,

pull the

printhead cover down over the printheads,

ensuring that the cover hooks over the latch.
