Frequently Asked Questions

When should I connect the USB cable?

You must not connect the USB cable until you are prompted to do so.

What steps should I take if I encounter setup failure errors in Windows?

Unplug the device, and then plug it back in. Check all connections and ensure the USB cable is plugged into the computer, not a hub or keyboard.

How do I correctly install new ink cartridges?

Ensure the print carriage moves to the right first. The device must be powered on to insert cartridges, and you cannot touch the copper-colored contacts.

What is the process for connecting the printer wirelessly?

During setup, use the Setup Assistant, select your device's option for a wireless network, click Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions.
