Travel Tips

•If you are traveling to another country, take the necessary plug adapter with you.

•The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.

•Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the printer. Do not use any other voltage transformer or converter.

•Turn off the printer using the Power button. This ensures that the print cartridge is returned to the home position and locked in place.

•Remove the battery pack if you will not be using the printer for more than a month.

•Disconnect the printer cable and power adapter and close the portable sheet feeder.

Handling Print Cartridges

•Keep the print cartridge in its sealed package until you are ready to use it.

•Store the print cartridge at room temperature.

•Once you have removed the print cartridge from its sealed package, leave it in the print cartridge cradle inside the printer.

•Do not leave the print cartridge in the open. Store the black or color print cartridge in the storage container when it is not in the printer.

•After the factory packing tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to replace the packing tape. Reapplying the tape can cause the colors to mix, producing incorrect colors when printing.

Note: If you can lift the cartridge out without pressing the clip, the cartridge was not inserted properly and can dry out.
