Connect the Printer
and Load Paper
IMPORTANT: When the POWER lamp flashes
blue and the printer vibrates, the printer is
shaking the ink tanks. Once you have installed
the ink tanks and have closed the Top Cover,

the printer has stopped making operating
noises before proceeding. Do not open the Top
Cover while the printer is operating (the POWER
lamp is flashing blue).
