44 Replacing the PicturePack (Photo Cartridge) PictureMate PM 260 / PM 290
c
Caution:
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the
side of the cartridge. This can damage
the photo cartridge.
❏ If you remove the photo cartridge for
later use, be sure to protect the ink
supply ports from dirt and dust; store it
in the same environment as the
printer. Note that there is a valve in the
ink supply ports, making covers or
plugs unnecessary, but care is needed
to prevent the ink from staining items
that the cartridge touches. Do not
touch the ink supply ports or
surrounding area.
❏ Be sure to always install a photo
cartridge into the printer immediately
following the removal of the current
photo cartridge. If a photo cartridge is
not installed promptly, the print head
may dry out, rendering it unable to
print.
6. Place the cartridge properly into the cartridge
holder, then push it in until you feel resistance and
hear the cartridge faintly click into place.
Do not touch this part.
