A Few Precautions

When using the Stylus Scan

Do not put your hand inside the Stylus Scan or touch the ink cartridges during operation.

Do not move the print head by hand. Doing so may damage the EPSON Stylus Scan.

Always use the P power button to turn off the Stylus Scan. After pressing this button, the P power light flashes briefly and then goes off. Do not unplug the Stylus Scan or turn off the power to the outlet until the Ppower light stops flashing.

Before transporting the Stylus Scan, make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.

When handling the ink cartridges

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink the ink or otherwise handle the cartridges.

If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Do not shake the ink cartridges. Cartridges may leak if shaken.

Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove 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 becomes unusable when you open the clamp.

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. Doing so may damage the print head.
