Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions I Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. I 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. I Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing. I Do not move the print head by hand. You may damage the printer. I Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use can result in reduced print quality. I 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 first installing them. I Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. I 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. I Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage. I Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. I Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing. I 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. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area. I Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in place. Tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case to make sure it remains in the proper position. 52 Requirements and Notices
