■Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
■Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
■Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been dropped or the case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
■When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
■When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down; otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridges.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
■Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
■Do not remove or tear any label or seal on the cartridge other than the yellow tab; this can cause leakage.
■Install an ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it can result in reduced print quality.
■Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.
■After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
■Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
■Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
