immediately wash it off with soap and water. If you get the ink in your eyes,
immediately wash your eyes with a lot of running water. Then, see a doctor
as soon as possible.
• When the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it
under the room temperature for three hours or more before using it.

opened, within six months. If an extended period of time has passed after
opening the cartridge package, printing quality would be poor.
