Introduction Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to read through the following list of precautions before operating your ink jet printer:  Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the print heads during printing.  Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the cartridges. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.  Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.  Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage to the print head.  Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.  Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.  Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.  Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.  Always turn the printer off using the POperate button. When this button is pressed, the Operate light flashes briefly then goes out. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the Operate light is off.  Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in place.  If you use a printer stand, make sure it keeps the printer level and can hold up to 66 lb (30 kg). Secure the printer cables to a leg on the stand so they don't interfere with paper feeding. 9

Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to
read through the following list of precautions before operating
your ink jet printer:
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the print
heads during printing.
Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the
cartridges. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap
and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them.
This could result in damage to the print head.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one.
The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it
from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long
time before use may result in reduced print quality.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges
within six months of installing them.
Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Always turn the printer off using the
P
Operate
button.
When this button is pressed, the
Operate
light flashes
briefly then goes out. Do not unplug the printer or turn off
the power to the outlet until the
Operate
light is off.
Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is
capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in
place.
If you use a printer stand, make sure it keeps the printer
level and can hold up to 66 lb (30 kg). Secure the printer
cables to a leg on the stand so they don’t interfere with
paper feeding.
