❏Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton: otherwise, it may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge within six months of installing it.

❏Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.

❏After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.

❏Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.

❏Store each photo cartridge so that the bottom of its packaging faces down.
