Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions and Important Safety Instructions (paper manual) before replacing the
maintenance box.
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
❏ Do not tilt the used maintenance box until aer it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.

will have solidied and no more ink can be absorbed.

leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how

this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
