Preparing The Printer - Canon PIXMA iP4300 Kurzanleitung

Preparing the Printer

Be sure to read your setup sheet first for setting up your printer and getting it ready for use.
1
Turn on the printer.
Caution
Be sure to remove the tapes before you turn on the printer.
Note
The tape position is subject to change.
2
Install the Print Head.
Caution
Do not touch internal parts other than the Print Head Lock Lever.
Important
If the Top Cover is open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the right side. In
this case, close the Top Cover, and open it again.
Note
There might be some transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag the print head comes
in, or the inside of the protective cap - this has no effect on print quality. Be careful not to get ink
on yourself when handling these items.
Do not reattach the protective cap once it has been removed.
3
Install the ink tanks.
Important
Make sure that all the ink tanks are installed in the correct position, matching the label. The
printer cannot be used unless all the ink tanks are installed.
Once you have installed the ink tanks, the POWER lamp will flash green. Wait for about 2
minutes, until the POWER lamp stops flashing and changes to steady, non-flashing green and
the printer has stopped making operating noises, before proceeding.
Note
Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in the exact order as shown in step 3 of your
setup sheet.
Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes
and hands.
Do not reattach the protective cap once you have removed it.
The ALARM lamp on the printer still flashes orange if an ink tank is not installed properly. Open
the Top Cover and make sure that position of all the ink tanks match the label.
4
Load printing paper.
In the following process, you will be required to perform the Print Head Alignment, and you
will need a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
Important
When loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, make sure that the Auto Sheet Feeder lamp is
lit.
Always load paper in portrait orientation. Loading paper in landscape orientation can cause the
paper to be jammed.
