Instructions For Activating My Printer
  • You will need to remove a thin black strip that covers the opening where the print tray is inserted.  Using a screwdriver works pretty well - simply pry off the black plastic part.  The picture below is for a different printer but will help you to identify the black part.
  • Make sure that the printer is plugged in and off.
  • Hold down the the {RESUME} button and hold down the {POWER} button and wait about 5 seconds or so.  Note, the {RESUME} button is the button of with the Triangle pointing down.
  • Release the {RESUME} button but continue to hold down the {POWER} button.  Still holding down the {POWER} button, double-click the {RESUME} key.  Release the {POWER} button.
  • Verify that the printer is in the service mode by clicking {RESUME} than {POWER}.  If you are in service mode, your printer will print a diagnostic sheet that lists it's ROM number and list the CDR Sensor = OK in red for the last line.
  • Go to the destination option by clicking the {RESUME} button 5 times then click {POWER}.
  • Next, click the {RESUME} button 4 times and then {POWER}.  This is Europe, CD-R enabled.  Yes, even if you are in the states or elsewhere, you want to set your printer for Europe.
  • Press {RESUME} and then {POWER}
  • Confirm the settings by clicking {POWER} - You must confirm otherwise it will default to Japan!
