Plugging in the Power Cord and Turning the Power On

Before connecting the printer to a computer, connect the printer's power cord and switch the printer on.

Only connect the machine to the power source described on this sheet.
Avoid multi-wiring.
Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an extension cord.
Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not plug or unplug the power cord with your hands wet. Otherwise, an electric shock might occur.

Do not handle the machine while the cartridge is being filled. Ink filling begins when the machine's power is switched on. Until the “Loading Ink...” message disappears from the control panel.

Remove the orange tape from around the power cord.
Plug the power cord fully into the printer.
Plug the power cord fully into the wall outlet.
The surface should be level within two degrees.
Make sure the power cord is not trapped under the printer.
Press the [Power] key.
The printer starts feeding ink into its print heads (taking approximately 6 minutes).
Make sure the “Ready” message is displayed on the control panel.
Do not switch off the power of the machine during this period. Make sure the plug is not removed from the wall outlet.
You might hear a clicking sound while the print heads are filling. This is not a malfunction. It will stop after a while.
