Energy Star Compliance - Epson Stylus Photo 1290 User Manual

❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This
could damage the print head.
❏ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site,
allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three
hours before using it.
❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge
related-information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so
that a cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.
However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is
consumed because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.
❏ 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 printer. A valve in the ink supply port
makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain
items that come in contact with this area of the cartridge. Do
not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.
