❏ Do not disassemble the ink cartridges. Doing so could damage
the print head.
❏ After removing an ink cartridge 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.
❏ The ink cartridges have an IC chip which 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, be sure to protect
the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store it in the same
environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in the
ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care
is needed to prevent ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or
surrounding area.
When choosing a place for the printer
❏ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that is larger than the
printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or
at an angle.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also, keep the printer away from bright light and
heat sources.
❏ Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏ Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient
ventilation.
