Page 9: Safety Precautions
Safety precautions The following symbols are used in this manual to ensure proper use of the printer and to prevent the printer from being damaged. Follow the instructions marked with these symbols. Failure to follow the guidelines WARNING marked with this symbol could result in serious personal injury or death.
Page 10 WARNING Be sure to read warnings below before use. Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. DO NOT plug several devices into one electrical outlet as this might result in fire or electric shock. Make sure the printer is well grounded. If not, an electrical leak may cause fire or electrical shock.
Page 11 The ink used for the device contains petroleum solvent. Since the ink is flam- mable, never operate near open flame. DO NOT swallow ink, storage liquid, cleaning liquid, cap cleaning liquid, wiper cleaning liquid or waste ink, and avoid contact with eyes. It will cause respirato- ry distress and can harm the eyes.
Page 12: Handling Precautions
5. Handle a print head with care. • Do not touch it unnecessarily or scratch it. • Do not touch the bottom (nozzle surface). 6. The use of consumables, accessories and options other than the products speci- fied by Seiko I Infotech affects the printed image quality, causes damage to the printer and invalidate the warranty.
Page 13 Maintenance With regard to characteristics of solvent ink, the following maintenance must be performed. 1. Check visually the remaining wiper cleaning liquid everyday. 2. Clean the Capping unit every week. 3. Perform the Print head cleaning [normal] every week. 4. Perform the service cleaning when leaving the printer for long time (2 weeks or more) in power off state.

The roll media replacement procedure for each case is shown below.
Page 56 Move the right side media holder to the right end. Note - When using media with adhesive applied to the core at the end of the roll, this adhesive may stick to the paper guide or the platen. In this case, always clean up the adhesive. Set the roll media to the media holder fixed on the left side.
Page 57 q Media replacement Raise the pressure roller up / down lever. Note - There are three selectable positions (up, middle and down) on the pressure roller up / down lever. To raise (release) the pressure roller here, raise the pressure roller up / down lever to the top position.
Page 58 Move the media holders so that the both edges of the media are equally distributed on the pressure roller. Load the media so that the media is evenly applied to the pressure roller. - Noting the relationship between the label gradation (indication line) and the media width will let you easily adjust the position next time you will set the media.

Page 61 q Media replacement Note - With tarpaulin and other high basis weight media, limit the media slack on the media roll side to 15 cm. The weight of the loose media may unwind the roll media. - When rewinding more than 30 cm of the media, do not rewind it at once but execute the operation slowly while eliminating the slack by rotating the media by hand.
Page 62 <Incorrect installation> Eliminate the slack so that the media does not become like in the two examples below. The figures on the upper parts are perspective views of the printer rear side. The figures on the lower parts are sectional views of the paper feed mechanism. The slack is in gray in the perspective views and in dashed line in the sectional views.

Page 210: How To Use The Take-Up Reel Unit
How to use the take-up reel unit The take-up reel unit is an optional unit. The IP-5620 and IP-5520 have both their dedicated unit. Also, there are two types of take-up reel units as shown below. In loose take-up mode, the method to set the media differs by take-up reel unit type.
Page 211: Install The Media On The Take-Up Reel Unit
- Inner take-up cannot be used in loose mode. Use inner take-up or outer take-up in tension mode. Note - With the take-up reel unit type without rear sensor, use a paper tube for winding of the same width as the roll media used for printing. Take-up shift may occur if a paper tube larger in width is used.
Page 212 Insert the paper tube in the right side flange (fixed side). Paper tube Right side flange Note - It is normally not necessary to move the position of the right side flange, it is used in the fixed position. However, when aligning with the roller media in- stallation position to the printer, adjust the position of the right side flange.
Page 213 q How to use the take-up reel unit After setting the media, feed the media until its leading edge reaches the paper tube. Paper tube When the media has reached the paper tube, attach it to the paper tube using tape while keeping it stretched.
Page 214 Set the take-up switch Inner and outer can be chosen for the take-up direction. Set the switch to the proper mode based of the figure below. Winding OFF Take-up switch Inner take-up Outer take-up - Use outer take-up with the take-up reel unit type with rear sensor. Note - When using the type without rear sensor, check the position of the...

Follow the same procedure to install the flange to the left side(movable side). Remove the 3 inch adapter. Right side flange (fixed side) Use the supplied attachment to remove the...
Page 220 How to use the loose take-up flange Adjust the position of the right side flange Note - The adjustment is required only at the initial operation of the loose take-up configuration. - When the position of the flange holder (at the left of the paper feed side: fixed side) is changed, readjustment is necessary.
Page 221 q How to use the take-up reel unit Check the length of the take-up paper tube. Use a paper tube with the same length as the width of the media set on the printer, or shorter (by 9 mm at maximum.) Note - Do not use a paper tube which is longer than the media width.The media may not be taken up fully due to winding deviation.

Page 225 q How to use the take-up reel unit Affix the media. Affix the media to the paper tube at three locations, right, left and center with adhesive tape. Check whether the gaps between the loose take-up flange surfaces and both media ends are appropriate (a+b = within 7 mm).
Page 226 Problems When printing with loose take-up configuration, under the following conditions the media may become loose and a winding deviation may occur (see figure1). Pay particular attention as if the media deviates, the winding torque may increase resulting in take-up problems. Note - If a wound media if left for several hours, the media may become loose and cause take-up problems.
Page 227: Adjustment Of The Take-Up Reel Unit
Adjustment of the take-up reel unit As the state of roll media during operation always changes depending on the state of roll media finishing (winding shift) and the environment during printing (such as temperature and humidity), wind the roll media while adjusting. Step 1 Before printing / take-up·········Initial adjustment Step 2...
Page 228 Observe the horizontal line of the adjustment pattern and the position of the groove on the tension roller and adjust using the procedure below. First, adjust the right side. Align the horizontal line of the adjustment pattern with the horizontal line (groove) on the outer circumference of the tension roller.
Page 229: Adjustment During Operation
q Adjustment of the take-up reel unit Adjustment during operation If the adjustment is left in the initial adjustment state, depending on this state of media, winding problems such as winding shifts may occur. In this case, solve the problem by turning the adjustment screw on the plate (left). By turning the adjustment screw on the plate (left), adjust the position of the tension roller.
Page 230 When moving the roll media position on the printer, the plate (right) needs to be positioned to meet the media. Note - Align the end of media with the end of paper tube.
