8. Push down the ink cartridge clamps until they lock in place.
c
Caution:
Once you install the ink cartridges, do not open the clamps
or remove the cartridges except to replace them with new
ones. Once you remove a cartridge, do not reuse it.
Reusing a cartridge that has been removed may damage the
print head.
9. Press the
Alt
button again to return the print head to its
home position. (Even if you do not press
Alt
, the print
head moves back to its home position about 30 seconds
after you close the clamps.)
After you install the ink cartridges, the printer charges the
ink delivery system. This takes about two minutes.
During this time, the
Pause
light flashes. When the
printer is finished charging, the
Pause
light stays on
without flashing.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the printer when the
Pause
light flashes.
10.Close the printer cover.
In order to maintain optimum print quality, the printer
periodically performs a cleaning operation. You may notice
the cleaning cycle being performed when the printer has
been on for awhile without being used or when you turn it
on after it has been off for awhile.
Loading Paper
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper. For paper
specifications, see “Printer Specifications.”
Always load plain paper with the printable surface facing up.
The printable surface is marked with an arrow on most plain
paper packaging.
1. Slide the left edge guide on the sheet feeder to the left as
far as it will go.
2. Fan a stack of paper; then tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges.
3. Load the stack of paper, printable side up, so that its right
edge is firmly against the right side of the sheet feeder.
Then slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the
paper. Do not load paper above the arrow printed on the
inside of the left edge guide on the sheet feeder.
Testing the Printer
Before continuing, test the printer to ensure it is functioning
properly. For the self test, use paper that is at least 8.25
inches (210 mm) wide.
1. Press the
POWER
switch to turn off the printer.
2. While holding down the
Load/Eject
button, press the
POWER
switch to turn on the printer.
The 360 dpi self test begins by printing in black ink on the
first and last lines of the first sheet of paper to measure the
page length. Then it prints character samples on the next
sheet using the available fonts and colors.
3. To end the self test, press the
Pause
button and then turn
off the printer. Otherwise, the test continues until the
paper in the sheet feeder runs out.
c
Caution:
Do not turn off the printer before pressing the
Pause
button.
If the quality of the test output is not good, clean the print
heads as described in “Printer Care.” (It may take as many as
five cleaning cycles to fully solve the problem.)
Calibrating the Printer
Your printer has been calibrated at the factory so that vertical
lines in your text and graphics are properly aligned. If you
notice misaligned images in printouts, however, you can
calibrate the printer with the Bi-D Calibration Utility. You
may need to do this after moving the printer to a new
location, for example.
