Step 1: Unbox and Prepare Your Printer

Remove all packaging, place your printer on a stable surface, and plug it in. Turn the device on and follow the on-screen instructions (if available).

Step 2: Install Ink or Toner Cartridges

Open the cartridge door, insert your ink or toner, and let the printer align itself.

Step 3: Load Paper into the Tray

Adjust paper guides and insert standard-size paper (like A4 or Letter) into the paper tray.

Step 4: Connect to Your Computer or Wi-Fi

Choose one of the following connection types:

Wi-Fi Setup:
Use the printer’s control panel to find and join your wireless network. You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password.
USB Setup:
Plug the USB cable into your printer and your computer. Most operating systems will auto-detect the device.

Step 5: Install the Right Printer Drivers

Even if your computer recognizes the printer, we recommend downloading the latest drivers from the official manufacturer’s website (e.g., HP, Canon, Epson).

🔗 You may be redirected to an official setup site to get the correct driver for your device.

Step 6: Print a Test Page

Once connected, go to your computer’s print settings, select the printer, and try printing a test document.
