Handling Ink and Cleaning Packs
Follow these guidelines as you handle the ink and cleaning packs:
• Extra ink is required to charge the print head nozzles the first time the printer is used. Be sure to have
replacement ink packs ready.
• After the ink charging process has begun, do not open covers, press buttons, or do anything else to
interrupt the process. If interrupted, the ink charging process will restart and the ink packs may no
longer have enough ink to complete the initial charge.
• Store ink packs at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
• To ensure print quality, use ink packs before the expiration date printed on the packaging or within 1
year of installing them.
• Allow ink and cleaning packs that have been stored at low temperatures for an extended period of time
to return to room temperature over a period of four hours before use.
• Do not touch the IC chips on the ink packs.
• The IC chip on each ink pack stores information, such as ink levels, to allow the ink pack to be used
after being removed and re-installed.
• Install ink packs into all the trays in the ink unit or the printer cannot print.
• Do not leave the printer without ink packs installed in all the trays, even when the printer is not in use.
The ink in the printer may dry out.
• If you remove an ink pack before it is empty, wipe off any ink from the ink supply port using a wide
cleaning stick from the maintenance kit. If ink dries on the supply port, the ink pack may leak when it is
reinstalled. Also make sure that the supply port is free of dust when storing ink packs (the port does
not need to be capped since there is a valve inside).
• Removed ink packs may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to stain any surfaces
with ink.
• Do not dismantle or remodel ink packs. You may not be able to print properly.
