Handling Ink Cartridges
Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or 
handle the cartridges.
❏ Do not shake ink cartridges; this can cause leakage.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining 
around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap 
and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or 
vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏ Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a 
cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.
❏ Use the ink cartridge before the expiration date printed on its package.
❏ Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.
❏ 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 in a cool, dark place.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent 
normal operation and printing.
❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such 
as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. 
However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the 
product automatically performs a reliability check.
❏ Do not place ink cartridges with the ink supply area facing down. This may result in ink 
leakage. Also, dirt attached to the ink supply area may result in the product not 
functioning properly.
