Photo Cartridge Safety Instructions
● Keep photo cartridges out of the reach of children and do 
not drink the ink. 
● Do not shake the photo cartridge after removing it from the 
bag; this can cause leakage.
● Be careful when you handle used photo cartridges, as 
there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply 
ports. If ink gets onto 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 
continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor 
immediately.
● Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can 
cause leakage.
● Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill them. This 
could damage the print head.
● Install the photo 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. 
● Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on 
the cartridge carton; otherwise, it may result in reduced 
print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge 
within six months of installing it.
● After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage 
site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least 
three hours before using it.
● Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.
● Store each photo cartridge so that the bottom of its 
packaging faces down.
● Do not touch the green IC chip on the bottom of the 
cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and 
printing.
● The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of 
cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink 
remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and 
reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is 
inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer 
automatically performs a reliability check.
● If you remove the photo cartridge for later use, protect the 
ink supply ports from dirt and dust and store it in the same 
environment as the printer. A valve in the ink supply ports 
makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain 
items that come into contact with this area of the cartridge. 
Do not touch the ink supply ports or the surrounding area.
