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.
❏ Capping may not occur (the print head is not
positioned on the right-hand side) if the printer is
turned off during a paper jam or when an error
occurs. 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.
❏ Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will
be consumed by head cleaning and other
maintenance operations needed to keep the print
head in good condition.
❏ Use this printer at altitudes below 2000 m.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you
may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend
that you print once a week to prevent the print
head from clogging.
❏ If the paper is left in the printer, the roller of the
pressure roller may leave a mark on the surface of
the paper. This can also cause wavy or curled
paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the
print head could be scratched. Remove any paper
when storing.
