Safety precautions The following symbols are used in the guide to ensure the printer’s proper operation and to prevent the printer from being damaged. Follow the instructions marked with these symbols: Failure to follow the guidelines marked with this WARNING symbol could result in serious personal injury or death.
Page 15 WARNING Be sure to read warnings below before use. Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the Avoid overloading the electrical outlet used for the printer power outlet, and contact your service representative in with multiple devices.
Page 16 4. Unpack the OKI Data ink cartridges only to install them. Do not store OKI Data ink cartridges in direct sunlight. Store the OKI Data ink cartridges in a cool, dry place. This prevents deterioration of the ink during storage.
Page 17 Media Supported media The Printer supports solvent inkjet media of the types below. Note that print conditions may change depending on environmental conditions and the media production batch. So you are recommended to test the print with the media beforehand. For details, contact your service representative.
Page 18 Other precautions Media loses its color and quality with age. Check the media condition and select the media in the best condition. Cut the media carefully, as paper dust may make irregular surfaces. When adhesive-backed media is applied, some adhesive agent may be left on the platen, which may cause a media jam.
