Unboxing and Connecting Your Printer/setup
Before we dive into the setup process, let's begin with unboxing your brand-new printer. Once you've unboxed it, find a suitable place to position your printer and make sure it is near a power socket for a continuous supply of electricity. Next, connect the power cord to both the printer and your computer.
Once you've made the necessary power connections, turn on your printer by pressing the power button. Now, it's time to install the ink cartridges. Carefully insert the cartridges into their respective slots and make sure they are securely in place. It's important to remove any packaging materials from the printer before proceeding.
With the ink cartridges installed, it's time to load paper into the paper tray. Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly, following the instructions provided in the setup page. Once everything is set up physically, it's time to move on to the software installation.
