Unpack the machine and check the components

Remove the protective tape and the film covering the machine.

NOTE

• The components may differ depending on your country.
• Save all packing materials and the box in case you must ship your machine.
• We recommend using a USB 2.0 cable (Type A/B) that is no more than 2 meters long (included in some countries).

Fill the ink tanks with inbox ink

IMPORTANT
Check the ink bottle model name on the label.
Using the incorrect ink may cause damage to the machine.

Open the ink tank cover a, remove the cap b, and place it on the back of the cover c.

Remove the film and tighten the cap firmly.

Remove the nozzle cap and insert the bottle nozzle firmly into the ink tank so that the ink does not spill.
The bottle is self-standing and the ink fills automatically until the bottle is empty. To fill the ink tank faster, squeeze the bottle on both sides.

When finished, remove the bottle, pointing the nozzle upward so the ink does not spill.

Replace the ink tank cap. Repeat step 2 for the other ink tanks, and then close the ink tank cover.
