Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

Use the ink cartridge before the expiration 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.

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.

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. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the product automatically performs a reliability check.

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 product. 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.

Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply area facing down. This may result in ink leakage. Also, dirt attached to the ink supply area may result in the product not functioning properly.
