Using print cartridges
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being
removed from their packaging.
• Do not open the package of a print cartridge until the cartridge will be installed in the
machine.
• Do not touch the print cartridges' ink inlets or chip contacts.
• Do not shake print cartridges strongly. Ink may leak out.
• Do not take apart print cartridges.
• Do not open the right front cover except when installing print cartridges. Do not turn off the
power or unplug the power cord during the process of installing the cartridges.
• Always confirm the color of a print cartridge before installing it.
• Do not remove a print cartridge once it has been installed unless necessary.
• Do not remove a print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop.
Storing print cartridges
• Store print cartridges at a temperature of between -30 and +43°C (-22 to 109.4 °F).
Ink consumption
• To protect the print head and ensure print quality, the machine performs periodic maintenance
and print head cleaning when it is turned on. Both operations consume ink.
• The amount of ink consumed during cleaning depends on the cartridge size.
• If you intend to use the machine after it has not been used for a long time, see page 210 "When
Not Using for a Long Period of Time".
