Important Notes on Handling and Use

This machine is a precision device.

• Handle the machine carefully, and never subject it to impacts or excessive force.
• Never needlessly put your hand or fingers inside the cover, the ink-cartridge ports, or other internal areas of the machine.

Install in a suitable location.

• 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.

The print heads are delicate.

• Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape them. Failure to handle with care may cause damage.
• 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 cartridge removed. Remaining ink in the printer may harden and clog the print heads.
• The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the frequency of replacement depending on use.

Unsuitable installation sites

• Locations subject to large fluctuations in temperature or humidity
• Locations subject to shaking or vibration • Locations where the floor is tilted, not level, or unstable
• Dusty locations • Locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations near air-conditioning or heating equipment • Locations exposed to water or moving air
• Locations exposed to considerable electrical or magnetic noise or other forms of electromagnetic energy

Ink cartridges come in various types.

• Use a type that is compatible with the printer. Also, be sure to use only genuine items from Roland DG Corporation.

Never subject to impact or attempt to disassemble.

• Never drop the ink cartridges or shake them forcefully. The impact may rupture the internal pouch 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 the ink cartridges unopened in a well-ventilated location at a temperature of −20°C to 40°C (−4°F to 104°F).
