About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper.
To purchase additional cartridges, see
Accessories on page 128 .
CAUTION: Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive
devices (see the Glossary on page 187 ). Avoid touching pins, leads and circuitry.
