Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print
head and may prevent the RX500 from printing.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around
the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Don't put your hand inside the RX500 or touch the cartridge during printing.
Don't move the print head by hand; you may damage the printer.
Don't shake cartridges after you remove them from their packages; this might cause
leakage.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the
cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.
Don't use a cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best
results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. Store each ink cartridge so that the bottom
of its package faces down.
After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at
room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
Don't remove or tear the label on an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
