• If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when
the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the product.
• Visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks to confirm the actual ink levels. Continued use
of the product when the ink is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the product.
• After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for
at least three hours before using it.
• Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place. Keep them out of direct sunlight.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened
ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink
may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright
when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• Quoted ink yields may vary depending on the images you are printing, the paper type you are using,
how often you print, and environmental conditions such as temperature.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.

the ink levels are above the lower lines on the ink tanks.
