Important Notes on Handling and Use

• Install the machine in a location having the specified temperature and relative humidity.

• Install the machine in a quiet, stable location offering good operating conditions.

• Automatic maintenance may be performed even during standby. Never switch off the main power.

The print heads are delicate.

• Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape them.

• The print heads may be damaged if allowed to dry out. The machine prevents desiccation automatically, but improper operation may render this feature inoperative. Operate properly, as specified in this manual.

• Never leave the machine with an ink pouch removed. Remaining ink in the printer may harden and clog the print heads.

• Depending on the situation, the print heads require various types of cleaning. Read this manual thoroughly and perform the appropriate maintenance at the appropriate times.

• The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the frequency of replacement depending on use.

This machine becomes hot.

• Never cover the ventilation holes with cloth, tape, or anything else.

• If the machine is used for a long time, the temperature in the room will also become hot. In order to maintain the specified temperature, use ventilation or air conditioning to avoid overheating the room.

Ink pouches come in various types.

• Use a type that is compatible with the printer.

Never subject the ink pouches to impacts or attempt to disassemble them.

• Never drop the ink pouches or shake them forcefully. The impact may rupture the internal pouches and cause the ink to leak.

• Never attempt to disassemble.

• Never attempt to refill the ink.

• If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash it off as soon as possible. Removal may become difficult if allowed to stand.

Storage

• Store ink pouches unopened in a well-ventilated location at a temperature of 5 to 30°C (41 to 86°F) and avoid direct sunlight. However, do not store the ink cartridges for a prolonged period of time in low or high temperature environments.

• Use ink pouches before their expiration dates.

• Always insert the pouch tray into the ink slot with the ink pouch set. Leaving the ink slot empty may cause printer malfunctions, such as the ink adhered to the needle inside dries out and causes clogging.
