If these phenomena still remain, replace the head unit/ ink cartridge with a new one by the following
procedure.

WARNING!

1. To avoid injury and printer damage, be careful not to catch your fingers or any objects while the

carriage moves right and left in the initial performance.

2. Please be careful when handling ink cartridges, not to get ink on your hands or in your eyes.  If

you accidently get ink on your hands wash them with soap and water.  If any ink should get into
your eyes immediately flush them out with clear water.

3. Never touch the metal portion of the head unit/ ink cartridge.  Doing so will injure your fingers.

CAUTION:
1. Do not put anything on the printer cover and never press on it.
2. Do not drop or shake the head unit/ ink cartridge.  Doing so may cause ink to spill over.  Once

ink gets on your clothes, it cannot be removed.
