Ll Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in poor print quality.

Do not use an ink cartridge beyond its rated life expectancy. Ink cartridges are good up to the date printed on the cartridge carton.

Do not shake an ink cartridge. Shaking or swinging an ink cartridge may cause leakage of ink.

Ll Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing.

Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped, and do not remove the ink cartridge.
