Maintaining the Printer
Important:
c
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏ Do not put opened ink bottles in the box with printer.
When you use the printer again, make sure you remove the tape securing the print head. If print quality has
declined the next time you print, clean and align the print head.
