Read all of the instructions in this section and in Safety Instructions before replacing the ink cartridge.
If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily from this product, be sure to protect the ink supply area of the ink cartridge from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge under the same environmental conditions as the Stylus Photo RX600. When storing the cartridge, be sure that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing upward. Do not store ink cartridges upside down.
The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be released. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.
The Stylus Photo RX600 uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip. The IC chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and then later inserted again, all of its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed each time the cartridge is inserted because the Stylus Photo RX600 automatically checks its reliability.
When an ink cartridge becomes empty, you cannot continue printing even if the other cartridge still contains ink. Before printing, replace the empty cartridge.
In addition to being used in document printing, ink is also consumed in the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning cycle performed when this product is turned on, and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed in this product.
Do not refill the ink cartridges. This product calculates the amount of ink remaining using an IC chip built into an ink cartridge. Even if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink remaining is not recalculated by the IC chip and therefore the amount of ink available for use does not change.
After an ink cartridge is replaced, if the ink is low it may become empty. When a message appears to indicate the ink is low, prepare a new ink cartridge.
