Most packages of paper indicate the best side to print on with an arrow on the end of the package. Make sure the best side is loaded face down. 4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it properly. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. w Warning: The ink cartridge is self-contained to prevent leaks. However, if ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soapy water. If ink gets on your hands, flush them immediately with water. 5.
