Introduction 7
Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to read through the following list of precautions before operating your ink jet printer:
•Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the print head during printing. Do not move the print head by hand.
•Under normal circumstances, ink will not leak out of the cartridges. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
•Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
•Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage to the print head.
•Once you install an ink cartridge, do not remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one (or transport the printer).
•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 reduced print quality.
•Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.
•Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
•Always turn the printer off using the POperate button. When this button is pressed, the POperate light flashes briefly then goes out. Do
not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the POperate light is off.
•Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is in the far right position and the ink cartridges have been removed.
