•
The inside surface of the Protective Part (a) and Protective Part (b) is coated with ink to protect the nozzles.
Be careful not to touch these surfaces when removing the caps.
•
The Printhead contains ink to protect the nozzles. We recommend removing Protective Part (b) as you hold it
over the Printhead package or safely out of the way to avoid spilling ink and staining your clothes or the sur-
rounding area. If ink accidentally spills, wipe off the ink with a dry cloth.
•
If you need to put a Printhead somewhere temporarily before installation, do not keep the nozzles and metal
contacts facing down. If the nozzles or metal contacts are damaged, it may affect the printing quality.
•
Do not reattach the Protective Part or protective material. Dispose of these materials in accordance with local
regulations.
