❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is left
uncapped for a long time, the print quality may
decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏ To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers
before placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they
can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the
print head, and you may not be able to print
properly.
❏ When turned on after an extended period of
disuse, the printer may automatically perform
head cleaning to ensure print quality.

Notes when using the control
panel
❏ Touch the panel with your finger. It will only react
when you touch it with your finger.
❏ It may not react when operated with something
other than a finger, when operated with wet
fingers or gloved hands, or when operated when
there is a protective sheet or sticker on the panel.
❏ Do not operate with sharp objects such as
ballpoint pens or mechanical pencils. Doing so
could damage the control panel.
❏ If the panel gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If
the panel is particularly dirty, dampen the cloth
with water containing a small amount of neutral
detergent, firmly wring the cloth dry before using
it to wipe the panel, and then finish by wiping
with a soft, dry cloth. Never use volatile chemicals
such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. Doing so
could damage the surface of the control panel.
Introduction
❏ Do not use in an environment that is subject to
sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
Condensation may form inside the panel, causing
a decline in performance.
❏ Some pixels on the screen may not light up or
may light up constantly. Also, due to the
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, uneven
brightness may occur, but this is not a
malfunction.
Notes on handling ink
cartridges (only for models
with ink cartridges)
Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
❏ The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance
Boxes are for use during the initial charging.
Prepare replacement ink cartridges and
Maintenance Boxes in advance.
❏ We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
❏ To ensure good results, we recommend that all the
ink in the cartridge be used within a year of
installation.
❏ Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏ Do not touch the IC chips on the ink cartridges.
You may not be able to print properly.
❏ Install ink cartridges into all slots. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer will dry out and
the printer will not function as expected. Leave
ink cartridges in all slots even while you do not
use the printer.
❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
