Caution in handling of ink
• If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your
eyes with a lot of clean running water for at least
15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the eyes to
rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor
as soon as possible.
• Use genuine ink tanks for this machine. This
machine functions by recognizing the genuine ink
tanks. In case of troubles caused by modified ink
tanks or the like, it shall be out of the warranty
even within the warranty period.
• If the ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a
warm place, leave it in the room temperature for
three hours or more before using it.
• Make sure to store ink bottles in a cool and dark
place.
• Store ink bottles and waste ink tank in a place that
is out of the reach of children.
• Request an industrial waste processor for
processing of empty ink bottles.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink
bottle, once it is opened, within three months. If an
extended period of time has passed away after
opening the ink bottle, printing quality would be
poor.
