    MEMO:

    Continuing to use ink that has exceeded its shelf life may lead to the following problems and malfunction. We recommend setting this item to "ENABLE."

    • Ink leaks from the ink cartridge.

    • The ink viscosity increases, leading to ink discharge issues (which may result in decreased print quality).

    • The ink hardens, leading to printer malfunctions.
