Step 5: Starting Print Output

Output Is Not Possible in These Situations

• The machine does not run when a cover (front or maintenance) is open.
• The machine does not complete startup and accepts no operations until the heater reaches the specified temperature.

  When the ambient temperature is low, the heater is slow to warm up. Use the machine in an environment where the temperature is 20°C to 28°C (68°F to 82.4°F).

• Output is not performed when the POWER key's indicator is not lit. After loading the media, lower the loading lever. When the POWER key's indicator flashes, no operation except for canceling output is accepted.
• If you send output data in a state where there is no ink left, a warning buzzer will sound and the machine will pause. A message indicating that ink has run out is displayed in the Status field in the Utility window. When the ink cartridge is replaced with a new one, output starts.

Points that must be observed

• Never open a cover (front or maintenance) while output is in progress. Doing so interrupts printing.
• When you are performing printing, clamp the edges of the media with the media clamps. Otherwise, the edges of the media may warp and catch on the print heads.
• During output, do not touch the media. Doing so may obstruct the media feed or cause the media to rub against the print heads, which may result in a paper jam or damage to the heads.
• Keep the loading lever raised when the machine is not in use.

When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.

• If the machine is left with the media loaded, the media may be damaged, which may adversely affect printing. When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.
