As the printhead jets an ink against paper to print, traces of ink mists floating during printing or springing back from the paper are produced in the print station.

Such ink mists are collected by mist collection air flow into the printer. The uncollected portion of ink mists could smear the platen unit, carriage unit, exterior

surfaces and the purge unit, and their surrounding areas.

Such smears could in turn spoil the paper or your hands or clothes during servicing. Wipe such smears off with a soft cloth moistened with water and wrung

carefully.

1.7.1.3 Live parts of the printer

Any electrical portion of the printer becomes live when AC power is supplied to it.

The main controller, power supply and interface connector are found on the left rear side of the printer, with the operation panel being located on the upper right

cover.

In checking printer operations with the cover open during servicing, take maximum care to avoid electrical shocks and not to cause damage to electrical components.
