Storing Printing Supplies
CAUTION
Do not ship the printer with the ink cartridge and printheads installed.
Ink Cartridges
Ink cartridges can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. If you remove
the ink cartridges, place them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.
CAUTION
Store ink cartridges out of the reach of small children. If a child should ingest any ink,
consult a doctor immediately.
Printheads
Printheads can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. If you remove the
printheads from the printer, place the original protective caps back on the
printheads. Otherwise the print quality may degrade quickly.
Do not touch the electrical contacts or nozzle plate.
Cleaning the Printer
Use a dry cloth to clean the printer.
CAUTION
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer. If you
accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or
damage the printer.
WARNING
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If flammable
solvents come in contact with the electrical components inside the printer, it could
cause a fire or electric shock.
