Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions, Precautions, and
Specifications

Safety instructions

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.
❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
❏ If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue
after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.
❏ Before installing the new ink cartridge in the printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in 10 centimeter
movements about 15 times within five seconds.
❏ Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
❏ The chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the ink cartridge status, so
that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.
❏ 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 this 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 supply
port or surrounding area.

Precautions on ink cartridge replacement

Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
❏ For the best printing results, use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation.
❏ If you move ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave it at room temperature for more than three
hours before using the ink cartridge.
❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
