Ink Cartridge Safety
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t allow them to drink the ink.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink
supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets in
your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems,
see a doctor immediately.
■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.
■ Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and
may prevent the product from printing.
■ Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right)
position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing a used one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.
■ Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause them to leak.
■ 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 the 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 cartridge ink supply port or surrounding
area. Do not store cartridges upside down.
■ Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
■ Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. 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.
Telephone Equipment Safety
When using telephone equipment, you should always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
■ Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
■ Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord.
