Printer's first setup cannot be completed because of black pin on the left side in the cartridge carriage. The pin seems to be a part of mechanism.
Never printed any page, so no paper jams, the carriage doesn't move freely toward the end of left
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you The_Fossette,
The issue with the carriage is resolved. The problem was because I was not connecting the power cable to plug in the wall.
Now i am stuck connecting it to the wireless network, it doesn't recognize my WPA phrase:(. I believe I will find some solution in the forum...
