9. Close the printer cover then press the
E
load/eject button.
The printer moves the print heads and begins charging the
ink delivery system.
Note:
Even if you do not press the
E
load/eject button, the printer
moves the print heads and begins the ink charging process about
60 seconds after you install the ink cartridges.
The ink charging process takes up to 4 minutes to complete,
during which time the
P power light flashes and the
printer produces a variety of mechanical sounds. These are
normal. When the ink delivery system has been charged,
the print heads return to their home position.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the
P
power light is
flashing.
The life of a cartridge depends on the amount of text and
black-and-white graphics you print (for a black cartridge) and
the amount and the number of colors used in your documents
(for a color cartridge).
Note:
When ink runs out, see “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 8.
