Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not 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 with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you experience discomfort or vision problems after flushing your eyes, see a doctor immediately. If ink gets in your mouth, see a doctor immediately.
Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.
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 remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard objects; this can cause leakage.
Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge. This may cause the cartridge to become unusable.
Do not break the hooks on the side of the cartridge when removing it from the packaging.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal operation.
Do not shake cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause them to leak.
Do not shake cartridges too vigorously; 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.
Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place; do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
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 bottoms down. Do not store cartridges upside down.
