Notes on using the ink cartridge

Be sure to remove the protective cap before using a new ink cartridge. If you don’t, you cannot load the ink cartridge correctly in the printer.

Load the ink cartridge in the printer promptly after you remove the protective cap. If dust accumulates in the ink cartridge, this may choke the print head and cause a malfunction of the printer.

Do not close the air hole located on the top of the ink cartridge. If the air hole is covered, the ink cartridge cannot spray the ink and this may cause a malfunction.

Air hole

It is recommended that you use the ink cartridge by the recommended date noted on the carton of the ink cartridge. To maintain the best print quality, use up the ink cartridge within six months of opening it.

If you refill the ink cartridge or modify it, we will not guarantee its operation.

Be sure not to remove or load the ink cartridge except when replacing it.

Be careful not to injure your fingers with pins when changing the ink cartridge.

Replace the ink cartridge when the printer is turned on (the ON/STANDBY indicator is lit in green).
