■
Do not try to move the print head by hand, or you may damage the product.
■
Before transporting the product, make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position
and the ink cartridges are in place.
■
Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing a used one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.
■
Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously or after opening their packages; this can cause them
to leak.
■
Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the
package.
■
Do not touch the green IC chip or the small window on the side of the cartridge. This may
prevent normal operation.
■
Remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may
decline or you may not be able to print.
■
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage. Do not remove the
transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
■
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and
store it in the same environment as the product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply
port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining
items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding
area.
■
Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down.
■
Do not disassemble or remodel an ink cartridge; otherwise, you may not be able to print
normally.
■
Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
■
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
■
You cannot use the cartridges that came with the product for replacement.
■
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product
function or performance.
■
When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used
depending on the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is
used to create black.
Telephone Equipment Safety

risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
