1 Safety instructions
Take power for the printer directly from the power socket (AC 100 V - 120 V or AC 220 V - 240
V). Do not use multiple plugs on the same socket. This could generate heat and might cause fire.
Be sure to use a dedicated power socket with earth wire for the power supply, and connect it to the
earth wire. If the earth wire is not connected, an electric shock or fire may occur.
The waste fluid from the printer is industrial waste. Proper waste fluid disposal according to
industrial waste disposal laws and ordinances of your local government is required. Consign
disposal of waste fluids to a specialized processor.
CAUTION
Pay attention to the following points when handling power cable.
• Do not do anything forcefully on the power cable.
• Do not put heavy objects on the power cable.
• Do not bend, twist or pull the power cable by force.
• Do not route the power cable near heating appliances.
Pay attention to the following points when handling the power supply plug. Any mishandling of the
power cable could cause a fire.
• Make sure that no foreign substances such as dust etc. are stuck to the power plug.
• Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted to the edge of the power socket.
When handling ink cartridges, pay attention so that ink does not get into your eyes or stick to your
skin. If ink gets into your eyes or sticks to your skin, immediately wash it off with water. Failing to
do so might cause irritation or light inflammation of eyes. In case of any abnormality, consult a
physician immediately.
Do not disassemble ink cartridges. If disassembled, there is a possibility that ink might come into
contact with eyes or skin.
Do not operate the media loading lever during initial operation. The print head portion may touch
the pressurizing roller portion, and cause a malfunction.
Do not touch the media guide during printing. It is hot and may cause a burn.
Do not touch the media feed slot, platen or media guide while heaters are operating. They are hot
and may cause a burn.
Do not use volatile solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. These solvents could cause
damage to the paint.
Be careful that no moisture enters the printer. There is a possibility that the electric circuit inside
the printer is short circuited.
Do not open covers attached using screws under any circumstances. This may cause an electric
shock or a malfunction.
While cleaning the cleaning wiper
• Do not touch the cleaning wiper and head cap unit.
Head cleaning may not be performed correctly because of oil from your hands.
• Make sure to wipe the print head with a dry poly-knit wiper.
A wet poly-knit wiper may cause the print head to clog.
Do not slant the printer, prop it against a wall or turn it upside down. There is a possibility that ink
inside the printer may leak. Moreover, normal operation after shifting (to these positions) cannot
be guaranteed.
