Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink
supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.
■ Don’t put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing.
■ Don’t move the print head by hand; you may damage the printer.
■ Install the ink cartridge immediately after removing it from its package. Leaving the cartridge
unpacked for a long time before use can result in reduced print quality.
■ Don’t use a cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best results, use up
ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
■ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room
temperature for at least three hours before using it.
■ Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.
■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation
and printing.
■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and
store it in the same environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port,
making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items
that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
■ Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and
the ink cartridges are in place. Tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case to make sure it
remains in the proper position.
