When handling the ink cartridges

❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.
❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
❏ Shake the ink cartridge well before installing it for best results.
Caution:
c
Do not shake cartridges (that have been installed previously) with too much force.
❏ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.
❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print
head.
❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
❏ 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.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal
operation and printing.
❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such
as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.
However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer
automatically performs a reliability check.
❏ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust, and store it in the same environment as this product. Note that there is a valve in
the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port
or surrounding area.
