Part 1: Safety and Precautions
2.3.6 Ink leakage/ink dry-up precautions
Always turn the printer OFF by the POWER button with the BJ cartridges installed.
The following operation is automatically carried out when powering OFF with the
POWER button.
Capping
The head cap covers and secures the nozzle section to prevent the nozzles on the BJ
cartridge from drying. If the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet by
mistake without turning the printer OFF by the POWER button, reconnect the power
cord to the power outlet, turn the power ON, then OFF again, by the POWER button,
and make sure that the nozzles are capped before unplugging the power cord.
If the power is turned OFF with the BJ cartridge removed or the power is turned
OFF after unplugging the power cord from the power outlet, the nozzles are not
capped. This may cause ink to leak or dry up.
2.3.7 Precautions when carrying the printer
The printer weighs 25 kg. It should be carried by two personnel, holding it on both
sides as shown in Figure 1-16 Precautions when Carrying the Printer .
Figure 1-15 Capping
If the power cannot be turned ON due to printer trouble, manually lock
