transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag of the print head, or
the inside of the protective cap. It will have no effect on print quality. They

protective cap(A) from the Print Head and then discard it.

tanks with printer, users should refer to the back cover of the Quick Start
Guide.

tank. The users should not touch the electrical contacts and ink port.
3. Next, users should insert the ink
tank into the right-hand slot and then press the mark on the ink tank until it
clicks into place.
