OThe ink level and other data are stored in the IC chip, allowing cartridges to be used
after being removed and replaced.
OTo avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store the removed ink cartridge properly.
The ink supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped.
ORemoved ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to
get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
OTo maintain the quality of the print head, this printer stops printing before ink cartridges
are completely expended.
OAlthough the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer
function or performance.
ODo not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
ODo not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
