❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏ is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏ For maximum ink eciency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
