When Handling The Ink Cartridges; When Choosing A Place For The Printer - Epson Stylus Photo 1200 Setup & User Manual

When handling the ink cartridges

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to drink or otherwise handle the cartridges.
If ink gets on the skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it
gets in the eyes, flush them immediately with water.
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. The
cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
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.

When choosing a place for the printer

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that is larger than the
printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or
at an angle.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light,
or heat sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugged.
