When you are not using a print cartridge
Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge protector. The cartridge protector keeps the ink from drying out. Storing the cartridge improperly can cause the cartridge to malfunction.
To insert a cartridge into the cartridge protector, slide the cartridge into the protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
