When you are not using a print cartridge

Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the
printer, store it in a print cartridge protector. The
cartridge protector keeps the ink from drying out.
Storing the cartridge improperly can cause the
cartridge to malfunction. A print cartridge protector
comes in the box with the printer.
➔ To insert a cartridge into the cartridge

protector, slide the cartridge into the protector
at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.

Once you have inserted a cartridge into the
cartridge protector, place it in the storage area
located under the top cover.
