Replacing Ink Tanks

Compatible Ink Tank

An Ink Tank that can be used in the printer is labeled with a white letter "A" in a black circle on the side.
Request an Ink Tank with the same label when you purchase a new Ink Tank. For more information, see
"Ink Tanks". (→P.599)

Precautions when handling an Ink Tank

Take the following precautions when handling an Ink Tank.
Caution
•
For safety, keep an Ink Tank out of the reach of children.
•
If ink is accidentally ingested, contact a physician immediately.
Important
•
Before removing an Ink Tank from the pouch for installation, shake it gently seven or eight times. If you
do not shake the Ink Tank, the ink may sediment, which may affect printing quality.
•
Do not remove an Ink Tank to shake it once installed in the printer. Ink may leak out.
•
Avoid dropping the Ink Tank after removing it from the pouch. Otherwise, ink may leak and cause stains.
•
There may be ink around the ink holes of Ink Tank you remove. Handle an Ink Tank carefully during
replacement. The ink may stain clothing.
•
We recommend using up an Ink Tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal.
Using an old Ink Tank may affect the printing quality.
•
Do not remove the Ink Tank if the printer is not used for a long period (a month or more). Ink remaining
in the printer may become clogged and affect the printing quality.
