When Choosing A Place For The Printer - Epson Stylus Color 480SXU Daily Use Manual

If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems remain after a through
flushing, see a doctor immediately.
Do not shake an ink 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 may result in reduced print quality.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one.
Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges
within six months of 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.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following:
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond
the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate
properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
Leave enough space in front of the printer for paper to be
ejected smoothly.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight,
strong light, or heat sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
