important:

Handling FINE Cartridges

• Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzles (B) on the FINE Cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch it.

• If you remove a FINE Cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with FINE Cartridges removed.
• Use new FINE Cartridges for replacement. Installing used FINE Cartridges may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such cartridges, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the cartridges properly.
• Once a FINE Cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE Cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE Cartridge within six months of first use.
  
  

1. Make sure that the power is turned on, and open the Paper Output Tray gently.
   
   
2. Open the covers.
   
   • Open the Paper Output Tray (A).
     
   • Make sure the Document Cover (B) is closed, then lift to open the Scanning Unit (Cover) (C).
     
   • Fix it with the Scanning Unit Support (D).
     
     
     
     
     

Attention: Do not hold the FINE Cartridge Holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the FINE Cartridge Holder until it stops completely.

Important:

• The inside of the machine may be stained with ink. Be careful not to stain your hands or clothing when replacing FINE Cartridges. You can easily wipe off the ink from the inside of the machine with tissue paper or the like. For details on the cleaning, refer to the printed manual: Getting Started.

• Do not place any object on the Document Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the Document Cover is opened and cause the machine to malfunction.

• If the Document Cover is open, you cannot open the Scanning Unit (Cover). Be sure to lift the Scanning Unit (Cover) with the Document Cover closed.

• When opening or closing the Scanning Unit (Cover), do not touch the buttons and LCD on the Operation Panel. Doing so may result in an unexpected operation.

• Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
