may dry out and you may not be able to print.
❏ If you need to remove an ink supply unit temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink supply unit in the same environment as the printer. Because the ink supply port is equipped
with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.
❏ Removed ink supply unit may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the ink supply unit.
❏ This printer uses an ink supply unit equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount
of remaining ink. This means that even if the ink supply unit is removed from the printer before it is expended,
you can still use the ink supply unit after reinserting it back into the printer.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink supply unit when your printer indicates to replace the ink supply unit. The yields quoted for
you do not include this reserve.
❏ Although the ink supply units may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏ Specifications and appearance of the ink supply unit are subject to change without prior notice for
improvement.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink supply unit, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ Do not drop or knock the ink supply unit against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏ You cannot use the ink supply unit that came with the printer for the replacement.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Consumption of Ink
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the ink supply unit during
maintenance operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn on the printer.
❏ The ink in the ink supply unit supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore the ink supply unit may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
supply unit.
❏ For best results, use up ink supply unit within two years of installation.
