Problems Setting Up the Printer or Installing
Software
The printer started making noise after ink cartridge installation.
■ The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its ink delivery
system for about two minutes. Wait until charging finishes before sending a
print job. If you unplug the printer while it’s charging, it may not charge
properly and use more ink than necessary the next time you plug it in.
■ Make sure the ink cartridge clamps are locked down completely and that no
packing material remains in the printer. Unplug the printer, wait a few
seconds, then plug it in again to resume printing.
You’re having problems installing the printer software.
■ Carefully follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet.
■ Make sure your printer cable is securely connected to the printer and
computer.
■ Make sure you’ve closed all other applications, including any screen savers and
virus protection software. Then try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer
software.
