CANON PRINTER SETUP
There are three major steps for Canon Printer Setup, and these steps are: Preparing the Printer
Installing the Print Head
Installing the Ink Tanks
Preparing the Printer
The users are supposed to place the printer on a flat and horizontal surface. Now, do open the Rear Tray and then extend
the Paper Tray. Do open the Front Tray and then extend the Output Tray Extension. It’s important to remove all the shipping
tapes before turning on the printer.
Next, users should plug the power cord in the back of the printer and then connect the other end to the wall outlet.
IMPORTANT
Users should not connect the USB cable until after the software is installed.
Users should plug the power cord all the way in, since it may be difficult to plug.
Now, users should press the POWER button to turn on the printer.
Finally, do open the Top Cover while the Print Holder will move to the centre.
Installing the Print Head
1. Firstly, users should remove the Print Head from its package.
CAUTION
The users will observe some transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag of the print head, or the inside of the
protective cap. It will have
no effect on print quality. They should be careful not to get ink on themselves when handling these items.
2. Now, do remove the orange protective cap(A) from the Print Head and then discard it.
REFERENCE
The users should not touch the print head nozzles and the electrical contacts.
3. Next, users should firmly raise the Print Head Lock Lever until it stops. The Print Head Lock Lever might feel heavy.
4. Thereafter, do insert the Print Head.
5. Finally, do push the Print Head to hold it in place and then lower the Print Head Lock Lever carefully.
IMPORTANT
Whenever, the Top Cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, then the Print Head Holder will be moving to the right. Now, do
close and reopen the Top Cover to return the Holder to the centre.
Now, do make sure that the Print Head is installed properly.
Installing the Ink Tanks
To check compatibility of ink tanks with printer, users should refer to the back cover of the Quick Start Guide.
To begin with, users should pull the orange tape in the direction of the arrow to peel off the protective film and then do remove
the film completely. The users may note that if the air hole is blocked with the remaining film then the ink might leak out or may
not eject properly.
Now, users should twist off and discard the orange protective cap(B) which is located on the bottom of the ink tank. The users
should not touch the electrical contacts and ink port.
Next, users should insert the ink tank into the right-hand slot and then press the mark on the ink tank until it clicks into place.
Do ensure that the ink lamp lights red. According to the coloured labels, do install all the ink tanks in order from right to left.
Now, do close the Top Cover. The Canon Printer will start operating. The users should wait for 2 minutes until the printer stops
making noise. After setup, the first- or second-time printing will take few minutes before it becomes ready to print.
Finally, the hardware setup of Canon Printer is successfully completed.
