Ink Jet Precautions

Because the SQ-850 and SQ-2550 are the ink jet printers, certain precautions are necessary to ensure their safe and efficient operation. Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to read through this list of precautions.

Make sure that the ink does not come in contact with your skin or eyes. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them with plenty of water and contact a physician.

Do not dismantle the ink cartridges; they cannot be refilled.

Keep the cartridges out of the reach of children.

Do not use an ink cartridge beyond its rated life expectancy. Ink cartridges are good up to the date printed on the cartridge.

See that the print head is capped before the printer is turned off. To cap the head, simply push the ON LINE button to set the printer off line. The head caps automatically when it enters the off line state. Then turn off the printer.

Never remove the ink cartridge when the printer is on line or when it is printing.

Do not turn the printer on and off when the ink cartridge is not installed.

Do not put your hand inside the printer when it is printing.

Before you transport the printer, make sure that the head is capped and that the ink cartridge is removed.

If ink accidentally gets on the platen (the black roller), wipe it off with a clean rag or with tissue paper.
