When Handling The Ink Cartridges - Epson STYLUS PHOTO 2000P Instruction Manual

When handling the ink cartridges

❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there
may be some ink around the ink supply port. If ink gets on
your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If
ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough
flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏ Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from
its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time
before using it, normal printing may not be possible.
❏ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
cartridge carton: otherwise, it may result in reduced print
quality. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six
months of first installing them.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This may inhibit normal operation and printing.
❏ Do not remove the green IC chip from the side of the cartridge.
If you install ink cartridges without an IC chip, the printer
may be damaged.
❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges. Doing so can damage the
print head.
❏ 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.
❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
