About Print cartridges

- Print cartridges comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety and reliability, use genuine Print cartridges.

- When using the printer for the first time, install the Print cartridges supplied with the printer.

Using Print cartridges

- Print cartridges should be opened before their expiration date and used within six months of being opened.

- Do not open the package of a Print cartridge until the cartridge will be installed in the printer.

- Do not touch the ink supply port of Print cartridges.

- Do not shake Print cartridges strongly. Ink may leak out.

- Do not take apart Print cartridges.

- Do not open the right front cover except when installing Print cartridges. Do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord during the process of installing the cartridges.

- Always confirm the color of a Print cartridge before installing it.

- Do not remove a Print cartridge once it has been installed unless necessary.

- Do not remove a Print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop.

- When you replace the cartridge, the printer is topped up with ink. If there is a cartridge that is not replaced with little amount of ink remaining at that time, “No Ink” may appear instead of “Cartridge(s) are empty.” This does not mean that the printer is malfunctioning. Replace the empty cartridge.

Storing Print cartridges

- Avoid storing Print cartridges in hot or freezing places.

Ink consumption

- In addition to printing, ink is consumed when the power is turned on, head cleaning is performed, or Print cartridges are installed.
