Ink Cartridge Precautions Warning: The ink cartridges are designed to contain any excess ink and prevent leakage. Careful handling is recommended, however. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding area. Caution: To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand. Don't remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak. Don't touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge. Don't remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without an IC chip can damage the printer. If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port on the bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have the original packaging, return it to its own box. Note: Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the cartridges upright; the label identifying the color should be on top. You cannot print if an ink cartridge is expended. Leave the expended cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips that monitor the amount of ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted. Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, however, because the printer automatically checks their reliability. If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an "Ink low" message), you cannot reuse it. Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning (performed when the printer is turned on), and ink charging (when an ink cartridge is installed).

The ink cartridges are designed to contain any excess ink and prevent leakage. Careful
handling is recommended, however. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or
its surrounding area.

To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don’t touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This
can damage the ink cartridge.
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a
cartridge without an IC chip can damage the printer.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply
port on the bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in
a small box, or, if you have the original packaging, return it to its
own box.
