Handling ink cartridges
Observe the following information when replacing
ink cartridges:
CAUTION
The ink cartridges are sealed units.
Under normal circumstances, ink will not
leak out of an ink cartridge.
Always handle used ink cartridges with
care as ink can be in the ink supply
outlet.
• If you get ink on your hands, wash
them thoroughly with soap and water.
If you get ink in your eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water.
• If you accidentally swallow any ink,
rinse out your mouth and drink plenty
of water. Do not induce vomiting.
• Keep ink cartridges out of reach of
children.
• Never allow children to play with ink
cartridges.
• Printer ink is not suitable for human
consumption. No not allow ink to
come into contact with the mucous
membranes.
• Only remove ink cartridges from the printer when
they are empty or their use-by date has expired.
Removing an ink cartridge can cause leaks in
the connection between the ink cartridge and the
ink line. This can lead to a faulty ink feed
system.

• Never use out-of-date ink cartridges.
When the use-by date of the ink approaches
(printed on the packaging), a message is
displayed at the touch panel. Replace the
specified ink cartridge. Use all the ink in the ink
cartridge by the date stated on the label to
achieve the best print results.
NOTE
Using expired ink reduces the print
quality and can cause damage to the
printer. Damages due to the use of out-
of-date ink cartridges are excluded from
the warranty.
• Do not shake ink cartridges, as this may cause
ink to leak.
• Do not disassemble or try to refill ink cartridges.
• Store unopened ink cartridges in a cool and dry
place, preferably in a refrigerator at about 4 °C.
• Before using an ink cartridge that has been
stored in a colder place, allow the cartridge to
stand at room temperature for at least three
hours.
• Install ink cartridges in the printer immediately
after removing them from the packaging. The
print quality can be impaired if an ink cartridge is
left unpacked for any length of time before use.
• Ink is used when a new ink cartridge is inserted
or when the ink tank lid is opened, as the printer
always carries out a reliability check.
• Always handle ink cartridges with care,
otherwise ink could spill and cause soiling.
• Never touch the ink supply outlet of the ink
cartridge or the area around it.
