    Place the Stylus CX5400 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Leave enough space in front of the Stylus CX5400 (at least 9 inches) so it doesn’t tip forward and fall off of the work surface.

    If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Stylus CX5400. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches.
