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

change in performance.

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

following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-

current protection for this printer, the building installation

must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

A Few Precautions

When using the printer

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

cartridges during printing.

When handling the ink cartridges

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not

drink.

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

gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

❏Do not shake ink cartridges as this can cause leakage.

❏Install ink cartridges immediately after removing from the

package.Leaving a 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. The

cartridge may become unusable otherwise.

❏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 installation.

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

could damage the print heads.

When choosing a place for the printer

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that is larger than the

printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or

at an angle.

❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and

humidity.Alsokeepitawayfromdirectsunlight,stronglight,

or heat sources.

❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be

easily unplugged.
