Important Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in the exact order shown in step 3-(1), as failure to follow this step may cause the ink to leak and stain your clothes and hands.

Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off along the perforation. If there remains a part of the orange tape, ink may not be ejected correctly.

Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes and hands.

Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it.

Once the protective cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.

Insert the ink tank.

(1)Insert the ink tank into the print head holder.

(2)Press on the "PUSH" mark until the ink tank snaps firmly into place.

Close the front cover.

The print head holder moves to the right. The ink tank installation process is now complete.

Notes To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.

Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the printer may not function properly if it is reinstalled.

Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified.

Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.

When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace the ink tank with a new one immediately.

If you continue printing with an empty ink tank, problems may occur.
