CAUTION
• Keep the print head and ink tanks out of the reach of children. If a child inadvertently ingests ink,
consult a physician immediately.
• To ensure optimum printing results and to avoid printing problems, Canon recommends using
original Canon ink tanks only. Damage caused by using refilled tanks is not covered by Canon's
warranty.
• Replaced ink tanks should be new. If you install partially used ink tanks, the nozzles may block and
the ink counter may not be accurate.
• For best ink quality, use ink tanks within one year of purchase. After placing ink tanks in the machine,
use the ink tanks within six months.
• Do not open the ink tank packaging until ready to install. After opening the ink tank packaging, use
the ink tanks within six months.
• Do not touch printouts with wet hands or spill liquids on them as the ink may run.
• Replace ink tanks quickly. Once installed, do not remove from the machine and leave out in the open.
Doing so may cause the ink tank not to function when reinstalled in the machine.
