Storing the ink cartridge you aren’t using

The Color StyleWriter 2400 comes with two ink cartridges, a black-only and a four-color cartridge. While they are sealed in their original packaging, the ink cartridges are protected. If you open both packages and switch ink cartridges for printing different documents, be sure to store the one you’re not using in the storage case supplied with your Color StyleWriter 2400. The storage case keeps the print head from drying out and prevents accidents with ink stains.

Be careful not to touch this area on the ink cartridge, or you may stain your fingers with ink.

Once you’ve removed both cartridges from their original packages, always keep one inside the printer and the other in the storage case.
