Notes when using the printer

Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏ We recommend keeping the printer turned on at
all times to prevent the print head from clogging.
If the printer is turned off, make sure you turn it
on once a week.
Introduction
❏ When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specifications Table".
"Specifications Table" on page 141
U
Note, however, that the desired results may not be
achieved if the temperature and humidity are
within the limits for the printer but not within
those for the media. Be sure the operating
conditions suit the media. For more information,
see the documentation supplied with the media.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏ Avoid using the printer in locations with heat
sources or that are exposed to direct draughts
from ventilators or air conditioners. The print
head nozzles could dry out and clog.
❏ Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could
spill inside or around the printer.
❏ Maintenance such as cleaning and replacement
must be performed according to usage frequency
or at recommended intervals. Failure to perform
regular maintenance could result in loss of print
quality. In the absence of the appropriate
maintenance, continued use could damage the
print head.

❏ The print head may not be capped (the print head
may not return to the right side) if the printer is
turned off when media is jammed or an error has
occurred. Capping is a function that automatically
covers the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. Otherwise,
the print head may not be capped properly. In
this case, turn on the power and wait a while until
capping is performed automatically.
❏ Print Head Cleaning is performed automatically
for the print head at a fixed interval after printing
to keep the nozzles from clogging.
Be sure that the Waste Ink Bottle is placed
whenever the printer is on.
