replacement. The ink may stain clothing.

We recommend using up an Ink Tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal. Printing
quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks.
•
Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual ink may
become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.
•
Ink Tank replacement is possible even during printing, when print jobs are being canceled, or when paper is being
advanced.
•
Do not remove an Ink Tank during initialization immediately after turning on the printer, or during printhead cleaning.•
Do not install used ink tanks in another model of printer.•
Do not install used ink tanks in another model of printer. This will prevent correct ink level detection, which may
damage the printer or cause other problems.
