Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions - Epson Stylus Photo R260 Printer Basics Manual

■
Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
■
Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or
vibrations, or dust.
■
Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges during printing.
■
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around this
product. Doing so may cause fire.
■ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
■
Always turn the printer off using the P power button. When this button is pressed,
the green P power light flashes. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to
the outlet until the green P power light stops flashing.
■
Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far
right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print
head and may prevent the printer from printing.
■
Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do
not spill liquid on the printer.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

■
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don't drink the ink.
■
Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining
around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
■
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the
cartridge unpacked for a long time before use can result in reduced print quality.
■
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results,
use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print
head.
■
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.
