Safety Instructions

Handling ink cartridges

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the cartridges.

❏Shake an ink cartridge horizontally well (about 5 seconds) before installing it for best results.

cCaution:

Do not shake cartridges (that have been installed previously) with too much force.

❏Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

❏Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.

❏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.

❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

❏The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge related-information such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.

❏If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in the same environment as the printer. A valve in the ink supply port makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain items that come into contact with this area of the cartridge. Do not touch the ink supply port or the surrounding area.

Transporting printer

❏When transporting the printer, consult your Epson dealer.
