❏ Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date
printed on the cartridge carton: otherwise, it may
result in reduced print quality. For best results,
use up the photo cartridge within six months of
installing it.
❏ Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
❏ After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a
cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room
temperature for at least three hours before using
it.
❏ Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.
❏ The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a
variety of cartridge-related information, such as
the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge
may be removed and reinstalled freely. However,
each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is
consumed because the printer automatically
performs a reliability check.
❏ Store each photo cartridge so that the bottom of
its packaging faces down.
