Read these instructions before using the printer.
Caution: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink 
the ink.
Do not open ink packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges 
are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Note: The first ink cartridges you install in your printer will have lower ink 
yields than subsequent cartridges because of the ink required for the initial 
charging process. 
Don’t load paper before installing ink cartridges.
