Notes for handling the ink
cartridges
❏ When INK LOW appears on the LCD panel,
replace the cartridges with a new one as soon
as possible to avoid ink to being expended
while printing.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of
installation for best results.
❏ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date
printed on the cartridge carton. If you use an
ink cartridge beyond the expiry date, it may
affect the print quality.
❏ Store ink cartridges under the same condition
as the printer.

❏ Do not touch the ink supply port or its
surrounding area. The ink may leak from it.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of
the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal
operation and printing.
❏ Because the green IC chip has the cartridge's
own information and the ink remaining
information, you can still use the ink cartridge
after pulling out the ink cartridge from the
printer.
❏ Do not add ink to the cartridge. The green IC
chip remembers the ink remaining so that you
cannot change the amount of ink remaining.
❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects;
otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏ The ink is used not only for printing but also
for print head cleaning.
Notes for replacing the ink
cartridges
❏ If you move the ink cartridge from the cold
place to warm place, condensation may occur.
Leave it at room temperature for more than
four hours before using the ink cartridge.
❏ Shake an ink cartridge horizontally well
(about 5 seconds) before installing it for best
results.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink
cartridges installed. The print head nozzles
may dry and you may not be able to print.
❏ Install an ink cartridges into each slot. You
cannot print if any of the slots are empty.
❏ Make sure that the printer is turned on when
you replace an ink cartridge. If the printer is
turned off while changing the ink cartridge,
the amount of ink remaining is not detected
correctly so you cannot print properly.
❏ Do not turn off the printer while replacing the
ink cartridges. The ink does not fill up
correctly or the print head nozzles may dry
out.
