Caution in handling of ink
• If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your

15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the eyes to
rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor
as soon as possible.

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

• 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.

place.

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
