CAUTION

Before you detach the drain bottle, be sure to wait for the screen

WARNING Never place discharged uid or ink near an open ame.

Doing so may cause a re.

CAUTION To store discharged uid temporarily, place it in the included

drain bottle or in a durable sealed container such as a metal

can or polyethylene tank, and cap the container tightly.

Any spillage or vapor leakage may cause a re, an odor, or physical distress.

Dispose of discharged uid properly, in accordance with the laws in effect in your locale.

Discharged uid is ammable and contains toxic ingredients. Never attempt to incinerate dis-

charged uid or discard it with ordinary trash. Also, do not dispose of uid in sewer systems, rivers,

or streams. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the environment.

may lead to the ink leaking.
