❏
Use a cleaning stick from the supplied Cleaning Kit
to absorb all the ink on the ink supply ports of
cartridges that have been removed from the printer
before all the ink is used. Dried ink on the supply
port may cause ink leaks when the cartridge is
reinserted and used.
Also, replace the cleaning sticks with a new one for
each color.
❏
Store the cartridges that have been removed so as to
keep the ink supply ports free of dust. The ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be
capped.
❏
Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
❏
To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
❏
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not effect printer function or
performance.
❏
Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏
Do not drop or knock it against hard objects;
otherwise, the ink may leak from the cartridge.
❏
Ink cartridges installed in the printer must be
removed and thoroughly shaken once every week
for HDK, and once every three weeks for other
colors.
