Read these instructions before using your product.
Unpack
Note: Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to fill the ink tanks. The ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
- Remove all protective materials from the product.
- Lift up the scanner unit. Remove all protective materials from inside the product.
Do not touch the flat white cable or the ink tubes and their translucent cover.
Fill ink tanks
Note: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
- Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the ink tank you are going to fill.
- Unpack one of the ink bottles. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.
- Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle up to insert it.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker to identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottles into position; they are keyed for each color. - Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle. Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.
Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.
- When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close the ink tank cap. Place the remaining ink aside; you will need it later.
Note: Replace the bottle cap and tighten it. - Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.
- Close the ink tank cover and then the scanner unit.
- Connect the power cord to the back of the product and to an electrical outlet.
Caution: Do not connect to your computer yet. - Press the power button to turn on the product.
Note: If all lights are flashing, turn off the product and check that no protective material has been left inside the product. - Press and hold the stop button for 3 seconds until the power light starts to blink and ink charging begins. Ink charging takes about 10 minutes. When the power light stops blinking, ink charging is complete.
Do not turn off the product, raise the scanner unit, or load paper while the product is charging or you'll waste ink.
Note: After some ink is used for charging, the rest is available for printing. - To complete filling the ink tanks, repeat steps 1 through 6 using the remaining ink in the bottles.
Note: Replace the bottle cap before disposing of the bottles. - Close the ink tank cover and scanner unit.
