Ink Printer Precautions
Jet
The EPI-4000 uses ink jet technology. Even if you are familiar with
other types of printers, please read and observe the following
precautions to ensure safe, efficient operation.
Never put your hand inside the printer while it is printing.
l
Cartridge ink contains propyl alcohol. If the ink comes in contact
l
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If ink
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water.
If ink accidentally gets on any part of the printing mechanism,
l
wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Do
l
not store cartridges at excessively high or below freezing
temperatures.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
l
Do not use an ink cartridge after the labeled expiration date. Ink
l
cartridges cannot be refilled; do not take them apart.
Never remove an ink cartridge while the printer is on line or
l
while it is printing.
Always follow these steps to turn off the printer: Press
l
to set the printer off line. Wait three seconds; then turn the
printer power switch off. You must wait three seconds after you
press LINE to ensure that the print head is safely capped at
ON
the left side of the printer.

Note: The units used in this table are dots at 300 dpi. The values in this table can
be slightly affected by such items as the elasticity of the paper you are using.
If you want to transport the printer, make sure the print head is
safely capped, as described above. Remove the ink cartridge
before you move the printer to a new location.
Never turn the printer on or off unless an ink cartridge is
installed.
Do not turn off the printer while it is printing. The print head
may not cap properly, resulting in faster ink consumption.
If you must turn the printer off in the midst of printing, first
press ON LINE to set the printer off line, wait three seconds, and
then turn the power off.
The EPI-4000 uses an electric heater to dry the ink as the page
released to the output tray. For best print quality, do not touch
the finished page until the printer completes delivery to the
output tray.
The paper output slot at the back of the printer may become
warm during printing. This is because of the electric heater used
to dry the ink and is no cause for concern.
When you turn on the printer after a long period of disuse, you
may notice a peculiar smell. This is normal; there is no cause for
concern.
