Maintenance tips
●
Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are needed. Print
cartridges should be stored at room temperatures (15° to 35° C or 59° to 95° F).
●
Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install
the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print
cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print
cartridge.
Storage tips
●
When you remove print cartridges from the printer, store them in an airtight plastic
container.
●
Make sure that the ink nozzles are face down but are not in contact with the
container.
