Preserving the print cartridges
• Keep a new cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to install it. It should be stored with the package hang
tab up, as it hangs or sits on the shelf in the store.
• Do not remove a cartridge from the printer except to replace, clean, or store it in an airtight container. The
cartridges do not print correctly if left exposed for an extended period of time.
• Keep the photo cartridge in its own storage unit when not in use. The stored photo cartridge should be stored
upright, as shown below.
