damage the printer and void your warranty. Use of unauthorized inks or ink
cartridges may damage the printer and will void your warranty.
• Clear media jams promptly.
To avoid further problems promptly attend to all media jams as well as any other
cause of printer failure.
• If you are moving the printer allow sufficient time after installation for the
temperature and humidity of the internals of the printer to arrive at equilibrium
with the surroundings.
