Important notes on ink cartridges

• If you removed an ink cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with a missing ink cartridge.
• Use a new ink cartridge. Installing a used ink cartridge can cause clogging of the nozzles. On the contrary, if you were to use a use ink cartridge, the machine would not be able to tell you correctly when to replace the ink cartridge.
• Once an ink cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and do not leave it in the open. The ink cartridge may dry out, and the machine will not work properly once the cartridge is put back in place. To maintain the best print quality, change the ink cartridge for every six months.
