STEP (A) Starting from still in shipping box:
- Unbox. Box contains printer, power cable and (4) Starter ink cartridges (Black, M, C and Y)
- Plug in power and turn on
- From the front panel, select and confirm language and country
- When prompted, open front panel and install ink cartridges. Slide in gently, with HP logo up. Requires just a ‘one push’ to engage. When finished, close front panel and touch ‘OK’.
