    Chapter 1 1.7 Safety and Precautions 1.7.1 Safety Precautions 1.7.1.1 Moving Parts 0013-3746 Moving parts of the printer include the carriage unit driven by the carriage motor, the carriage belt, the ink tube, the flexible cable, the feed roller drives the feed motor, the pinch roller, and the purge unit driven by the purge motor.

  • Page 32: Electric Parts

    Chapter 1 - Although the ink is not harmful to the human body, it contains organic solvents. Ink may contaminate the surrounding parts. Carry out the work with due caution. If your hands are stained with ink, wash them with a plenty of water. Be careful not to allow the ink to get into your mouth or eyes.

  • Page 33: Other Precautions

    Chapter 1 1.7.2 Other Precautions 1.7.2.1 Printhead 0013-1929 1. How to Handle the Printhead Do not open the printhead package until you are ready to install the head. When installing the printhead in the printer, hold the knob[1] and then remove the protective cap 1[2] and protective cap 2[3] in that order. Do not reattach the protective cap 2[3] to the printhead because the cap may damage the nozzles[4].

  • Page 34: Ink Tank

    Chapter 1 1.7.2.2 Ink Tank 0013-1924 1. Unpacking the Ink Tank Do not unpack the ink tank until you are ready to install it. When installing the ink tank, be sure to shake it slowly 7 to 8 times before unpacking it. Otherwise, the ink ingredients may precipitate and degrade the print quality. To prevent foreign matter from entering the ink port, installed the unpacked ink tank in the printer immediately.
  • Page 35 Chapter 1 F-1-32 2. Fixing the Carriage After completion of printing, the carriage is mechanically locked by the lock arm in the purge unit at the same moment the printhead is capped. Before transporting the printer, secure the carriage at its home position using belt stoppers[1] so that the carriage does not become separated from the lock arm and damage or ink does not leak.
