Safety Instructions 13
❏ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the 
cartridge carton.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for 
best results.
❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This 
could damage the print head.
❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
❏ 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.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. 
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏ In this ink cartridge, the IC chip retains a variety of cartridge 
related-information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so 
that a cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.
❏ 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 this product. Note that there is a valve in the 
ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care 
is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the 
cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or 
surrounding area.
