Handling Inkjet Cartridges

Below are some tips on working with inkjet cartridges.

•Keep new inkjet cartridges in their protective packaging until you are ready to use them.

•Avoid touching the flexible circuit (metallic, gold) portion of the cartridge or placing it other than inside the printer.

•Handle the inkjet cartridge with care: do not drop it or let it fall as this could make it unusable.

•Display the ink level of the printer’s inkjet cartridge. See "Checking the Ink Level" on page 24 for more information.

•Clean the inkjet cartridge. See "Cleaning the Inkjet Cartridge" on page 25 for more information.
