Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets 
in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution: Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak. 
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without 
an IC chip can damage the printer. Avoid touching the green IC chip, as this can 
damage the ink cartridge.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port on the 
bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have 
the original packaging, return it to its own box.
Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the cartridges 
upright (the label identifying the color should be on the top).
