About Your Ink Jet Printer
If you’re new to ink jet printers, you may wonder how they
differ from dot matrix or laser printers. Two noticeable benefits
of this technology are high print quality and quiet printing.
An ink jet printer produces cost-effective, high-quality print
results. When you use the right paper, you get the crisp, sharp
printouts usually associated with laser printers. And the ink
cartridge inside your printer is easier to replace and more
affordable than the toner cartridges used by lasers.
Inside the ink jet print head, tiny spray units, or jets, draw ink
from the cartridge and then propel it onto the page in the form
of characters or graphics. Because the print head doesn’t strike
the page as it prints, an ink jet printer is much quieter than an
impact dot-matrix printer.
A few precautions
Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to
read through the following list of precautions to operate your
ink jet printer safely and efficiently.
The ink cartridge contains ethyl alcohol. Under normal
circumstances, it will not come out of the cartridge. If
leakage occurs, however, make sure ink does not come in
contact with your skin or eyes. If it does get on your skin,
wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes,
flush them with plenty of water and contact a physician.
Cl Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them.
Once you install the ink cartridge, do not open the clamp
or remove the ink cartridge except to replace it with a new
one. The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
