3.5 Ink cartridge handling
•Always store ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Cartridge
contents are not edible.
•If you get ink on your skin, clean it off using soap and water. If ink
should get into your eyes, wash it out immediately with plenty of
water.
•Shake new ink cartridges four or five times before opening the
package.
•After opening the packaging, ink cartridges must not be shaken, since
otherwise ink may leak out.
•Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on the packaging.
•Do not attempt to take the ink cartridges apart or to refill them. This
can damage the print head.
•Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the ink cartridge. This
can have an adverse effect on normal operation and the printing
process.
•The IC chip on this ink cartridge contains a large number of cartridge-
specific details, such as e. g. information about the ink cartridge status.
This ensures that the ink cartridge can be removed and replaced as
many times as necessary. Note, however, that ink is consumed every
time a cartridge is inserted into the unit, since the printer always
performs a self-test.
•If you remove an ink cartridge in order to use it later, make sure that
you protect the ink outlet from dust and dirt, and store the cartridge
somewhere near the printer. The ink outlet features a valve, which
avoids the need for covers or plugs. If the cartridge comes into contact
with an object, however, ink may leak out and cause staining.
