Problems Setting Up the Printer or Installing Its
Software
You installed the ink cartridges
and the printer started making
noise . . .
The first time you install ink
cartridges, the printer charges its
ink delivery system for a couple
minutes. Please wait until
charging is finished (the
P power light stops flashing)
before you turn off the printer.
If you turn off the printer while
it's charging, it begins charging
again and uses more ink than
necessary when you turn it back
on. See the Start Here card for
details.
Make sure the ink cartridge
clamps are locked down
completely and that no packing
material remains in the printer.

You're having problems
installing the printer software . . .
Carefully follow the instructions
for installing the printer software
on the Start Here card, making
sure your printer is turned on
and the printer cable is securely
connected to the printer and
computer.
If you still have problems, close
all other applications, including
anti-virus programs and screen
savers. Then try installing the
software again.
You're using the parallel port . . .
For maximum print speeds, enable
ECP/DMA mode on your
computer's parallel port. See your
computer documentation or
contact your computer
manufacturer for instructions.
