Caution:
❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink
cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge;
otherwise, ink will leak.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the front of the
cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.
❏ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, be sure to
protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust; store it in
the same environment as the printer. Be sure to store the
cartridge as shown in the illustration. 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.
❏ Be sure to always install an ink cartridge into the printer
immediately following the removal of the current ink
cartridge. If the ink cartridge is not installed promptly,
the print head may dry out, rendering it unable to print.
Do not touch this part.
