NOTE
• Use genuine ink cartridges for replacement.
This printer is designed to use genuine ink cartridges. If you use an ink cartridge that 
is not a product of the original manufacturer,
• Printing might become blurred, or the end of the ink in the cartridge might not be 
detected correctly.
• Any problems caused by using an ink cartridge other than those recommended 
above will not be covered by the warranty, and repair expenses will be paid by the 
customer.
(3) Replacing steps
Follow the procedure below to replace the ink cartridges.
CAUTION
• When handling ink cartridges, pay attention so that ink does not get into your eyes or 
stick to your skin. If ink gets into your eyes or sticks to your skin, immediately wash 
it off with water.
Failing to do so might cause irritation or light inflammation of eyes. In case of any 
abnormality, consult a physician immediately.
• Do not disassemble ink cartridges. If disassembled, there is a possibility that ink 
might come into contact with eyes or skin.
NOTE
NOTE
• Do not give ink cartridges strong shakes. Doing so may cause ink leakage.
• Do not disassemble ink cartridges. A disassembled ink cartridge cannot be used.
• When an ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to warm place, keep the ink 
cartridge for three hours or more in the new printing environment before printing.
• Do not refill an ink cartridge with ink.
It may result in abnormal printing.
• Insert or remove the ink cartridge at the time of replacement only.
Inserting or removing the ink cartridge except at the time of replacement may result 
in incorrect printing.
1. Confirm that the printer is turned ON.
NOTE
NOTE
• Do not replace ink cartridges when the printer is turned OFF. The remaining ink 
may not be detected correctly, causing abnormal printing.
