If you are not using the printer for a long time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer to prevent dust. The print head nozzles are very small, and they can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly. ❏ Because the IC chip manages the information for the ink supply unit, such as the remaining ink level, you can still re-insert and use them if you removed them before the replacement message appears. ❏ While ink supply units are in storage, keep the ink supply ports free of dust.
The ink supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped. ❏ When storing the printer, be sure that it is level: do not store it on an angle, on end, or upside down. ❏ Removed ink supply units may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the ink supply units.
