store the printer

Your printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity. Close the

paper tray door when the printer is not in use. Store the printer indoors out of

direct sunlight in a place without temperature extremes.

store the print cartridge

Always transport and store the active print cartridge inside the printer. The printer

stores the print cartridge in a protective cap.
Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the

power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge properly.
If the printer and print cartridge have been unused for one month or more, clean

the print cartridge before using it. For more information, see clean the print

cartridge on page 43.
