Choosing a location

to a heating source.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, use the printer under the operating environment specified in
the Specifications.
• Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet.
• Do not place the printer with its back attached to the wall.
• We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.
• Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that
generates such fields or places where such fields occur.
Power Supply
• Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the
power cord if necessary.
• Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
Pulling the cord may damage the power cord, leading to possible fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use an extension lead/cord.

• Firmly grasp the carrying grips on each side in the base. Holding the printer at other positions is
dangerous and cause injury and damage if the printer is dropped.
• Use the following number of people to hold the printer when transporting the printer by carrying it. The
weight may cause pain such as back pain.

• When using and transferring the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. There
is a risk of the ink spilling.
• When transferring the printer tilted, always perform the steps in
order to protect the internal structure.
