Ink Cartridges
When you install the printer’s first ink cartridges, it takes about 8 minutes to initialize the printer. Do not interrupt this process by turning off the printer, opening the top cover, or releasing the paper lever, or the printer will have to reinitialize. In that case, there may not be enough ink left in the original cartridges and you may have to replace them with new ones.
