❏
cartridges during printing.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may
❏

button. When
When handling the ink cartridges
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children, and do not
❏
drink the ink.
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 removing 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 is larger than the
❏
printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or
at an angle.
Avoid locations subject to rapid changes in temperature and
❏
humidity. Also keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light,
or heat sources.
Avoid locations subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏
3
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
❏
easily unplugged.
Note for French-speaking users:
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être
débranchée facilement.
