Precautions for Replacing Consumables
Take the following precautions when replacing consumables.
• The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in this product's
packaging.
• Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, etc.) supplied with this machine away from
babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are
brought into contact with the mouth or nose.
• Do not refill ink cartridges, flushing cartridges, or displacement liquid cartridges. We assume no
responsibility for any damage caused by the use of a refilled ink cartridge, flushing cartridge, or
displacement liquid cartridge.
• Neither pound the ink cartridge, flushing cartridge, and displacement liquid cartridge nor shake
them violently, as doing so can cause leakage of ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid.
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal of ink cartridge, flushing
cartridge, cleaning cartridge, displacement liquid cartridge, and waste ink bottle. Otherwise,
commission an industrial waste disposal company.
• The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that the ink recommended by this company is
used. For safe usage of this machine, use the ink recommend by this company.
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature
for 3 hours or more before using it.
• Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the machine. If it is opened and left for an
extended period of time, normal printing performance of the machine may not be ensured.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within 3 months. If
an extended period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality
would be poor.
