Epson TM-J7200 Technical Reference Manual page 78

 Unnecessarily opening or closing the Front cover except for replacement causes unnecessary ink consump-
tion and can significantly harm the print life of the ink cartridge.
 Use up an ink cartridge within half a year of installing it. When a significant amount of time passes since it
was opened, the ink cartridge may not be used to print properly.
 Use up the ink cartridge by the date printed on its individual box or on the ink cartridge itself.
 The ink inside the ink cartridge may freeze if left at temperatures of -20°C (-4.0°F) or lower, but it can be
used after thawing and reaching 10°C (50°F) or higher.
 When printing on water-repellent paper such as art paper, the ink may dry very slowly and smear. Use paper
that does not cause smearing.
 Do not transport an ink cartridge that is in use by itself, as transporting it while it is not installed in the
printer may cause ink to leak.
 Do not apply strong shocks or vibrations to the ink cartridge.
 Ink life varies based on the printer usage and the printed contents.
 We recommend using genuine Epson ink cartridges. Using ink cartridges not manufactured by Epson may
cause the product to not function properly, such as causing unrecoverable damage to the printer or print
quality.
 Be sure to use ink cartridges with the specified model number. Using ink cartridges other than those speci-
fied may cause ink leaks or negatively affect printing.
 Do not apply petroleum benzine, paint thinner, toluene, or ketone-based solvents to the ink cartridge, as they
may cause deformation or damage to the plastic components.
 Dispose of ink cartridges in accordance with all national and local laws, ordinances, and regulations.
 Because it takes a long time (approx. 2 minutes) to complete the ink loading when beginning to use the
printer (initial loading), never turn off the power during loading (when the Power LED is flashing, until it
turns on). (Be careful as turning off the power during ink loading causes the ink loading process to be per-
formed again from the start, resulting in a significant waste of ink.)
 Ideally, the ink loading when beginning to use the printer (initial loading) should be performed with the
printer itself (without performing an interface reset).
 Do not perform unnecessary manual cleaning other than when print problems occur.
 While the Power LED is flashing, the printer is performing cleaning or ink loading. Do not open the Roll
paper cover or turn off the power switch.
