Handling Ink Tank Precautions
Follow the precautions below when handling ink tanks.
zStore the ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally
ingests ink from an ink tank, contact a physician immediately.
zTo avoid spilling and damage from stains, never drop or shake an ink tank.
zThere may be some ink on or around the ink port of an ink removed from the
printer, so always handle a removed ink tank carefully to avoid staining you r
clothing or the work area.
zDo not break the seal of the protective packing on an ink tank until you are ready to
install it in the printer. After breaking the seal, install the ink tank immediately. Not
installing and ink tank immediately after breaking its seal could cause poor
printing.
zAn ink tank should be used up within six months after its seal i s broken. Not using
the ink tank within this time period could cause poor printing.
zNever leave an ink tank removed from the printer for longer than one month. This
could lead to ink clogging in the tank and poor printing.
