• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being removed from their packaging. • Cartridges that are no longer usable for printing reserve a small quantity of ink for maintenance usage. • Print cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies. • Single-sided copies are printed at higher density than duplex-printed copies. • Printing hundreds of copies in a single day might cause the print head to clog the following day. If this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure. • This machine performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure consistent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of disuse. • Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It may also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain machine performance. • If the machine will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Because the machine consumes a lot of ink for maintenance and print head cleaning when turned on after a long period of inactivity, we recommend you use the machine at least once a month. • Do not move the machine while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the machine is on a level surface and safe from shock and vibration. • Do not turn the machine off while it is busy. Make sure the machine is idle before turning it off. • Condensation can form inside the machine if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Allow any condensation to fully evaporate by not turning the machine on for at least an hour after moving it. 13
