6.1 Ink Cartridge Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ink cartridge, it is crucial to follow proper storage procedures:
- If the printer will not be used for more than 15 minutes, remove the ink cartridge from the device.
- Immediately place the protective cap back onto the cartridge nozzle. This prevents the ink from drying out and clogging the nozzle.
- Store the capped cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
