❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the

printer; the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;

the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building

installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit

breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and

over-current protection for this printer.

A Few Precautions

Take note of the following when using the printer, handling the

ink cartridges, or choosing a location for the printer.

When using the printer

❏Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink

cartridges during printing.

❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may

damage the printer.

is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are

in place.

When handling the ink cartridges

Observe the following:

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow

children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.

❏If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it

gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If

discomfort or vision problems remain after a through

flushing, see a doctor immediately.

❏Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from

its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time

before use may result in reduced print quality.

❏Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or

remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one.

Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.

❏Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges

within six months of installing them.

❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This

could damage the print head.

❏After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site,

allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three

hours before using it.

❏Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following:

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond

the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate

properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

❏Leave enough space in front of the printer for paper to be

ejected smoothly.

❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and

humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight,

strong light, or heat sources.

❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
