Epson Stylus COLOR 300 User Manual page 11

Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This
could result in damage to the print head.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the ink
cartridge clamp or remove the cartridge except to replace it
with a new one. The cartridge may become unusable
otherwise.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it
from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long
time before use may result in reduced print quality.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges
within six months of installing them.
Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Always turn the printer off using the power switch. The
2
power light flashes until the print head is capped, which
means it is at rest in the far right position. Do not unplug
the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the
2
power light stops flashing. The printer caps the print
head when no data is received for several seconds.
Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is
in the far right position and the ink cartridge is in place.
