    IMPORTANT When opening the lid, hold it as shown in the figure and do not touch (B). Doing so may cause damage.


  3. Remove the inner box from the ink pouch packing box, and then gently shake the inner box.
    To protect the ink pouch, shake it while it is still inside the inner box.


  4. Remove the ink pouch from the inner box and plastic bag.
    IMPORTANT
    • When taking the ink pouch out of the plastic bag, do not use a utility knife or any other sharp object. Doing so may lead to accidentally cutting the ink pouch.
    • The expiration date sticker should be found in the plastic bag. Keep this safe until you need it for a later task.
    If the tip of the ink pouch is bent, straighten it out by hand.
