When Handling The Ink Cartridges - Epson STYLUS COLOR 680 Manual

❏ Always turn the printer off using the P power button. When
this button is pressed, the P power light flashes briefly and
then goes out. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power
to the outlet until the P power light stops flashing.
❏ Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head
is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are
in place.

When handling the ink cartridges

Observe the following:
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there
may be some ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink
gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and
water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏ 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 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.
