Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■ Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■ If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.
■ Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its foil package. If you leave a
cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.
■ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges. This could damage the print head.
■ Do not touch the green chip on the back of the cartridge. This may inhibit normal operation and
printing.
■ In these ink cartridges, the IC chip retains a variety of cartridge-related information (such as the
amount of ink remaining) so that a 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, be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust, and store it in the same environment as the printer. 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 cartridge ink supply port or the
surrounding area.
■ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton; otherwise it may
result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first
installing them.
■ 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 put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing.
■ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may damage the printer.
■ Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the
ink cartridges are in place.
