Notes on Usage

Notes When Handling the Main Unit

❏ Do not suddenly change the temperature in the room where the printer is installed.
If the temperature changes suddenly, drops of water (condensation) could occur inside the printer which may
have an adverse effect on operations.
❏ Use the printer in an environment with a temperature of 10 to 35 °C, and a humidity of 20 to 80%. When the
printer is placed on a system rack, make sure the environment of the rack is within these ranges.
Even when the conditions above are met, you may not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to use the printer in an environment where the paper's
requirements are met. For more details, see the documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain the
appropriate humidity.
❏ Do not place any containers containing water, such as vases or cups, on the printer. If water enters the printer,
it may break down.
❏ Do not use accessories designed for this printer with any other products.
❏ Depending on the performance of the computer being used, the printer stops printing temporarily; however,
this is not a malfunction.
❏ If the printer is not to be used for an extended period of time, store it with the maintenance box installed.
❏ When the printer is operating, do not unplug the power plug from the electric outlet or cut the power at the
breaker. The print head may not be capped properly (the print head is not positioned at the far right). Capping
is a function for automatically covering the print head with a cap (cover) to prevent the print head from drying
out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.
❏ Ink may leave stains inside the printer. Be careful not to stain your hands or clothes when pulling out the
inside of the printer during maintenance. We recommend using a commercially available soft cloth to wipe off
any ink inside the printer before starting work.
