Never put your hand inside the printer while it is printing.
Cartridge ink contains propyl alcohol. If the ink comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If ink
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water.
If ink accidentally gets on any part of the printing mechanism,
wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Do
not store cartridges at excessively high or below freezing
temperatures.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not use an ink cartridge after the labeled expiration date. Ink
cartridges cannot be refilled; do not take them apart.
Never remove an ink cartridge while the printer is on line or
while it is printing.
Always follow these steps to turn off the printer: Press ON LINE
to set the printer off line. Wait three seconds; then turn the
printer power switch off. You must wait three seconds after you
press ON LINE to ensure that the print head is safely capped at
the left side of the printer.
If you want to transport the printer, make sure the print head is
safely capped, as described above. Remove the ink cartridge
before you move the printer to a new location.
Never turn the printer on or off unless an ink cartridge is
installed.
Do
not turn
off the
printer while it is printing. The print head
may not cap properly, resulting
in faster ink consumption.
