SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION

Environmental requirements

Use the printer in a place which is adequately ventilated. A slight odor is generated when the printed articles
are being fixed by heat.
Installation
Setting up and moving of the printer should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
The printer machine weighs 120 kg (265 lb). Transporting and setting up of the printer should be held in the
proper way. Otherwise it may fall down and cause injury.
When the printer falls down, disconnect the power cord and contact the place of purchase or a qualified
technician. If you continue to use it, it may result in fire or electric shocks or poor printing quality.
Do not place the printer on a shaky table or high shelf or other unstable location. Otherwise it may tip over or
fall down and cause injury. Furthermore, the table that supports the printer should be at least 35.4 in. (90 cm)
in width and 23.6 in. (60 cm) in depth, and should be able to bear a weight of 150 kg (330 lb) or more.
Do not set up the printer in a place where it will be affected by vibration. Otherwise the printing quality may be
degraded or the printer may fall down, which causes injury or results in failure of the printer.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete. The printer may operate if the power is turned on
by mistake, which could result in injury.
Do not climb onto the printer or place heavy objects on top of it. Otherwise it may become unbalanced and tip
over or fall down and cause injury.
Be careful not to touch the claws of the mounting portion on the upper side of the rear cover. Otherwise you
may be injured.
Printing
This printer should only be used by operators who are appropriately trained in its safe operation.
Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the printer and avoid placing any objects. Otherwise your hand
may get caught between the platen and an object, which may result in injury.
Do not handle the platen while printing. If your hand gets caught between the platen or the T-shirt tray and
the covers, it may be injured.
Do not put your hands inside the covers while the printer's power is turned on. Otherwise your hands may
touch against moving parts and this may result in injury.
When the pretreatment is applied to printed objects (like a T-shirt) with a spray or pretreatment applicator,
sprayed mist is generated. So wear a pair of plastic gloves, a mask and protective glasses (or goggles)
designed to shield against liquid splash, and fully take care of the air ventilation when you are working with it.
When a problem occurs with the operation of the printer, contact the place of purchase or a qualified
technician.
