Handling Precautions - Epson B-310N User Manual

❏ If any of the ink cartridges installed in the printer is broken, incompatible with the printer model, or
improperly installed, EPSON StatusMonitor will not display an accurate status of the ink cartridge.
Be sure to replace or reinstall any ink cartridge indicated by the EPSON StatusMonitor.
Note for Mac OS X 10.5:
The printer monitor window appears automatically when you start a print job. You can check the ink
cartridge status from this window.

Handling precautions

Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of ink used by
each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt
and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer. When storing the
cartridge, be sure that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing upward. Do not
store ink cartridges upside down.
❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be released.
However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or
its surrounding area.
❏ Some ink is consumed from all cartridges during the following operations: print head cleaning,
initial ink charging, and nozzle maintaining.
❏ Never turn off the printer during initial ink charging. The ink may fail to be filled up and the
printer may become unavailable to print.
❏ If you change the ink cartridge to Extra High Capacity Ink Cartridge, retain the default ink
cartridge or Standard Capacity Ink Cartridge, or High Capacity Ink Cartridge. One of these
cartridges is needed when you transport the printer.
❏ Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's
warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink the ink or handle
the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply
port or surrounding area. 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
continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
