(2) Pull the orange tape (C) in the direction of the
arrow to peel off the protective film.

the remaining film, ink may leak out or may not
eject properly.

bottom of the ink tank.
Discard the cap once it is removed.
Important
Do not touch the electrical contacts (G) on the ink
tank. Doing so can cause the machine to
malfunction or become unable to print.
Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in
the exact order shown above, as failure to follow
this step may cause the ink to leak and stain your
clothes and hands.
Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may
cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes and
hands.
Be careful not to stain your clothes and hands with
ink on the removed protective cap.
Do not reattach the protective cap once you have
removed it. Discard it according to the local laws
and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
Do not touch the open ink port once the protective
cap is removed, as this may prevent the ink from
being ejected properly.
