User's Guide Replacing Ink Cartridges ❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable. ❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing. ❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print. ❏ Do not replace ink cartridges with the power off. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer. ❏ Do not turn off the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print. ❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn off the printer during cartridge replacement.
Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print. ❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs. ❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance. ❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with low ink status may not be used when reinserted. 89
