Ink Cartridge Precautions Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Caution: 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 use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them. Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage. Do not remove or tear any label or seal on the cartridge other than the yellow tab; this can cause leakage. Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing. Install an ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it can result in reduced print quality. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in the same environment as the printer. A valve in the ink supply port makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain items that come into contact with this area of the cartridge. Do not touch the ink supply port or the surrounding area. Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down. Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. Note: You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge. The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the 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 a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an "Ink low" message), you cannot reuse it. 52 Maintaining Your Printer

Maintaining Your Printer
Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the
ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Caution:
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 use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results,
use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
Do not remove or tear any label or seal on the cartridge other than the yellow tab; this
can cause leakage.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent
normal operation and printing.
Install an ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the
cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it can result in reduced print quality.
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust, and store it in the same environment as the printer. A valve in the ink supply port
makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain items that come into contact
with this area of the cartridge. Do not touch the ink supply port or the surrounding area.
Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.
Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside
down.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
Note:
You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge related-information,
such as the ink cartridge status, so that the 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 a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an “Ink low”
message), you cannot reuse it.
