When using the printer

Observe the following:

• Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges during printing.

When handling the ink cartridges

Observe the following:

• Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.

• Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.

• If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a through flushing, see a doctor immediately.

• Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

• Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.

• Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.

• Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.

• Do not dismantle the 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.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following:

• Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

• Leave enough space in front of the printer for paper to be ejected smoothly.

• Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

• Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

• Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.

• Avoid places subject to dust.

• Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

Note for French-speaking users:
Placez l'imprimante près d'une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.
