Notes for handling the ink
cartridges
❏ When INK LOW appears on the LCD panel,
replace the cartridges with a new one as soon as
possible to avoid ink to being expended while
printing.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of
installation for best results.
❏ If you move the ink cartridge from the cold place
to warm place, condensation may occur. Leave it
at room temperature for more than four hours
before using the ink cartridge.
❏ We recommend using an ink cartridge by the
expiry date printed on the cartridge carton. If you
use an ink cartridge after the expiry date, print
quality may be affected.
❏ Store ink cartridges under the same condition as
the printer.
❏ Do not touch the ink supply port or its
surrounding area. The ink may leak from it.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the
ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal
operation and printing.
❏ Because the green IC chip has the cartridge's own
information and the ink remaining information,
you can still use the ink cartridge after pulling out
the ink cartridge from the printer.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge,
otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects;
otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏ Although nothing may be printed, the printer
uses ink from all cartridges during head cleaning
and other maintenance operations to keep the
print heads in good condition.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not effect printer function or
performance.

Notes for replacing ink
cartridges and shaking the
white ink cartridge
❏ To maintain optimum printing conditions, shake
the ink cartridge with referring to the sections
below.
See "Shaking the White Ink Cartridge" on
page 66
See "Replacing ink cartridges" on page 68
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The inks inside the printer may dry and
you may not be able to print.
❏ Install all ink cartridges. You cannot print if any
of the slots are empty.
❏ Make sure that the printer is turned on when you
replace an ink cartridge or shake a white ink
cartridge. If the printer is turned off while
replacing an ink cartridge or shaking a white ink
cartridge, the amount of ink remaining is not
detected correctly and you cannot print properly.
❏ Be careful as there is ink around the ink system
port on the used ink cartridge.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and
to help protect your print head, a variable ink
safety reserve remains in the cartridge when your
printer indicates to replace the cartridge.
Notes for storing the ink
cartridges
❏ Store ink cartridges under the same condition as
the printer (temperature is 10 to 35˚C and
humidity is 20 to 80%).
❏ Ink cartridges that are removed before ink is
expended can be reinstalled in the printer and
used again if the expiry date printed on the ink
cartridge packaging has not passed.
Avoid getting dirt on the ink system port and
store the removed ink cartridge properly. You do
not need to put the ink cartridge in the package.
The ink system port has a valve in it so you do not
need to put a cap on it; however, be careful not to
tamper with the ink system port.
