   • DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
   • DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.
   • If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.
   • Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.
   • DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.
