Photo Cartridge Safety Instructions
Keep photo cartridges out of the reach of children and do
not drink the ink.
Do not shake the photo cartridge after removing it from
the bag; this can cause leakage.
Be careful when you handle used photo cartridges, as
there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply
ports. If ink gets onto 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.
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can
cause leakage.
Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill them. This
could damage the print head.
Install the photo cartridge immediately after you remove it
from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a
long time before using it, normal printing may not be
possible.
Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on
the cartridge carton; otherwise, it may result in reduced
print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge
within six months of installing it.
After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage
site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.
Store each photo cartridge so that the bottom of its
packaging faces down.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the bottom of the
cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink
remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and
reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is
inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer
automatically performs a reliability check.
LCD Safety Instructions
The LCD panel contains a few small bright or dark spots.
These are normal and do not mean that the LCD monitor
is damaged in any way.
Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel. Do not
use liquid or chemical cleansers.
If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is
damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution
gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
