Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section when setting up and using your printer.
When handling ink cartridges
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges. Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you install them. Shake the new ink cartridges four or five times before opening the packages. Do not shake the ink cartridges after opening the packages; this can cause leakage. Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package. Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage. Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that a cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check. Store ink cartridge with its label facing upward. Do not store cartridge upside down. Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges during printing. Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer. Do not attempt to service the printer yourself. Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer. Take care not to spill liquid on the printer. Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
