When Choosing A Place For The Printer - Epson STYLUS PHOTO 2000P Instruction Manual

❏ For each ink cartridge, the IC chip keeps track of 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
from both the black and color ink cartridges is consumed
because the printer checks for reliability.
❏ 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. Be sure to store the cartridge with
the EPSON label facing up. 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. Do not touch the ink supply port of the
cartridge or the surrounding area.
❏ EPSON recommends that you store unopened ink cartridge
packages in the upright position.

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 direct sunlight,
strong light, or heat sources.
❏ Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏ Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient
ventilation.
❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugged.
❏ Do not place the printer in a dusty area.
