38 Important Safety Instructions
Ink Cartridge Safety
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t allow them to drink the ink.
■ 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 thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets in
your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems,
see a doctor immediately.
■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.
■ Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right)
position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.
■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal
operation.
■ Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously or after opening their packages; this can cause them
to leak.
■ 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 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 cartridge ink supply port or surrounding
area. Do not store cartridges upside down.
■ Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
■ Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. 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.
■ Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down.
■ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the
package.
■ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from some cartridges
not only during printing but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge
replacement and print head cleaning.
■ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product
function or performance.
■ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used
depending on the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is
used to create black.
