Be Sure to Keep the Ink Cartridge Cover Closed at All Times.
The ink cartridge cover prevents the ink cartridges from being exposed to direct sunlight or strong illumination.
If the ink cartridges are exposed to them, the ink inside the cartridges will become hardened, and it may cause
the printer to malfunction. Make sure that the ink cartridge cover is always closed except when absolutely
necessary, such as when you are replacing ink cartridges.
