Cautions When Requesting Repairs, Leasing, Transferring Ownership, and Disposing of the Printer If personal information is registered with the printer or security information such as passwords are set on the printer, that information may remain inside the printer. To prevent information leaks, reset the settings (to the factory default state), before the printer is temporarily out of your hands such as for getting it repaired or leased, or before the printer is transferred to another owner or disposed of. For instructions, refer to "When Repairing, Lending, or Disposing of the Printer" in the Online Manual. Print Head, Ink Tanks, or Maintenance Cartridge • Always store consumables out of the reach of small children.
