Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions ■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. ■ 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. If ink gets in your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. ■ Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage. ■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing. ■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing a used one. Leaving cartridges uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing. ■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal operation. ■ 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 product. 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. ■ Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package. ■ Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head. ■ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. ■ 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. ■ Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down. Important Safety Instructions 27
