box with the ink holes (a) facing up. Otherwise, ink may leak
and cause stains.

Note

•

Dispose of used ink tanks according to local regulations.

Load the Ink Tank (330 ml)

Before opening the pouch, tilt the Ink Tank to the left
and right gently seven or eight times.

Important

•

Do not remove and agitate ink tanks that have already been installed in the printer. Ink may leak out.
