If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this printer, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker.

Do not put your hand inside this product or touch the ink cartridges during printing.

Do not move the print heads by hand; otherwise you may damage this product.

Always turn the product off using the Power button on the control panel. When this button is pressed, the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the product until the Power light stops flashing.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.

If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Shake the ink cartridge well before installing it for best results.

Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton.

Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.

Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

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.

Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect 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 printer 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 this product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.

Although nothing may be printed, the printer uses ink from all cartridges during head cleaning and other maintenance operations to keep the print heads in good condition.

Before transporting the printer, make sure the print heads are in the home (far right) position.
