Note the following points when using this printer
to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
As well as the following, there are additional points to
note when using White ink. Check the following.
"Notes on Handling White Ink" on page 27
❏ When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specifications Table".
"Specifications Table" on page 147
When operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environments, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the specified humidity range.
Introduction
❏ Do not install the printer next to heat sources
or directly in the path of air from a ventilator,
air conditioner, or treatment machine. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the print
head nozzles drying and clogging.
❏ Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could
spill inside or around the printer.
❏ The print head may not be capped (the print
head may not return to the left edge) if the
printer is turned off when an error has occurred.
Capping is a function for automatically covering
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. The print
head may not be capped properly. In this case,
turn on the power and wait a while until capping
is performed automatically.
❏ To keep the print head in the optimum operating
condition, the ink and cleaning liquid are also
used in maintenance operations such as head
cleaning in addition to printing.
❏ Do not remove ink supply units while the printer
is operating. A malfunction may occur.
❏ Maintenance, such as cleaning and replacing
consumables, must be performed according to
usage frequency or at recommended intervals.
Print quality declines if maintenance is not
performed.
"Maintenance" on page 75
❏ Do not move the movable base or the platen
manually. Otherwise a malfunction may occur.
❏ To keep the print head in optimum operating
condition, maintenance is performed when the
printer is turned on. If the printer is turned on
and off frequently, more ink is consumed in each
maintenance operation. We recommend leaving
the power on to reduce ink consumption. To
reduce ink consumption, we recommend that you
always leave the printer power on.
