When handling the ink cartridges

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

❏If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it

gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

❏Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from

its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time

before use may result in reduced print quality.

❏Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or

remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. The

cartridge may become unusable otherwise.

❏Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges

within six months of installing them.

❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This

could damage the print head.

When choosing a place for the printer

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that islarger than the

printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or

at an angle.

❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and

humidity.Alsokeepitawayfromdirectsunlight,stronglight,

or heat sources.

❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
