When choosing a place for the printer

keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏Avoid places subject to dust, shocks, or vibrations.
❏Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of
the printer in all directions. If you place the printer by the wall, leave more
than 10 cm between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will
not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or
turn it upside down. Otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.
When choosing a power source
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.
❏Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord

❏This product’s power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other

devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
❏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.
When handling ink cartridges
❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to
drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
❏Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you install them.
❏Shake the new ink cartridges four or five times before opening the
packages.

leakage.
❏Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you
remove it from the package.
❏Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink
remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
