This printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to maintain its reliability.
• Even if some ink bottles are dented, the quality and quantity of ink are guaranteed, and they can be used safely.

Do not connect a USB cable unless instructed to do so.
