2. Hold the printhead by the sides and remove the orange covers. Do not touch the sides that were covered by the orange pieces. Gently place the printhead in with the words facing you. Make sure it is seated all the way into the carriage.
3. Close the lever that is away from you first and then the one that opened towards you.
​
4. Close the top cover and the printer will automatically complete the printhead installation process
​
* During the printhead installation, a paper will print out with specs about the printer. Please keep this for your online training and let the trainer know the printhead install date on the sheet on that day.
Paper:
​
1. Install the paper. Place the roll of paper on the metal bar so that when it is loaded it goes over the roll and into the printer and is flush with the right side end cap. Make sure the end cap is securely fastened on to the left end of the roll and lock the blue tab.
2. Place the roller into the printer.
3. It will ask the type of paper so choose Canon Matte Coated Paper 170gsm under the Coated Category on the list.
4. Make sure you select ROLL PAPER when it asks.
5. Now the printer will configure the print head and ink. This will take about 10 minutes.
​
*The Maintenance Cartridge is already in the printer.
​
​
​
*The printer must be plugged in and powered on at ALL TIMES.
