■ Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining
around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
■ Do not remove or tear any label or seal on the cartridge other than the yellow tab;
this can cause leakage.
■ Install an ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving
the cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it can result in reduced print
quality.
■ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best
results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■ 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 these ink cartridges 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 printer automatically performs a reliability check.
■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt
and dust, and store it in the same environment as the printer. A valve in the ink
supply port 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
port or the surrounding area.
■ Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside
down.
