Maintaining print cartridges

Follow these print cartridge maintenance tips to ensure the longest
life from your print cartridge and optimum performance from your
printer.
• Keep a print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to
install it. Cartridges exposed for extended periods may dry out or
clog.
• Remove a print cartridge from the printer only to replace or clean
it. Replace or reinstall the print cartridge immediately, or return it
to its packaging or storage unit. Do not leave the cartridge
exposed for an extended period.
• Avoid refilling print cartridges. Refilling empty print cartridges
invalidates your warranty. Incompatible inks can cause damage
to the printhead or to the printer. For best results, use Sharp
supplies with the printer.
• Store the print cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• The Sharp FO-25CC colour cartridge is capable of printing
approximately 300 pages (standard color chart).
The Sharp FO-21BC black cartridge is capable of printing
approximately 900 pages with 4% ink coverage on each page.

Disposing of used print cartridges

• Do not shake used print cartridges. The remaining ink can leak.
• Before discarding the used print cartridge, put it in a leak-proof
bag.
