About Your Ink Jet Printer
If you’re new to ink jet printers, you may wonder how they
differ from dot matrix or laser printers. Two noticeable benefits
of this technology are high print quality and quiet printing.
An ink jet printer produces cost-effective, quality print results.
When you use the right paper, you get crisp, laser-sharp
printouts usually associated with laser printers. And the ink
cartridge inside your printer is easier to replace and more
affordable than the toner cartridges used by lasers.
Inside the ink jet print head, tiny spray units, or jets, draw ink
from the cartridge and then propel ink dots onto the page in
the form of characters or graphics. Because the print head does
not strike the page as it prints, it is much quieter than an
impact printer such as a dot-matrix.
A few precautions
Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to
read through the following list of precautions to operate your
ink jet printer safely and efficiently:
Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the
cartridge. If it does get on skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with
water.
Keep the ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them.
After removing an empty cartridge, put it in a plastic bag
for disposal.
