22 Replacing Ink Cartridges
Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in
your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without an
IC chip can damage the printer. Avoid touching the green IC chip, as this can
damage the ink cartridge.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port on the
bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have the
original packaging, return it to its own box.
Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the cartridges
upright (the label identifying the color should be on top).
