Do not open or close any of the I/C Covers unnecessarily.
If you take out any ink cartridge immediately after opening the I/C
Cover, the value of the counter increases because of a large
amount of ink leakage. Therefore, you are recommended to wait
for seven or more seconds after opening the I/C Cover and then
remove the ink cartridges.
