    MEMO:
    When "ENPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" is displayed during cleaning


    1. Remove the drain bottle and discard the discharged fluid.

    2. Quickly attach the emptied drain bottle to the machine once more.

    3. Press [ENTER].



    IMPORTANT:

    When you remove the drain bottle, a few drops of discharged fluid may come out of the machine. Exercise caution to prevent this fluid from soiling your hands or the floor.

    CAUTION:

    When "ENPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" appears on the screen, be sure to discard the discharged fluid.

    Failing to discard the discharged fluid when "ENPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" is displayed will lead to the discharged fluid overflowing during cleaning.

    CAUTION:

    Before you detach the drain bottle, be sure to wait for the screen to display "ENPTY DRAIN BOTTLE". After discarding the discharged fluid, promptly attach the drain bottle to the machine.

    Failing to follow this procedure may cause discharged fluid to flow out of the tube and spill, soiling your hands or the floor.

    WARNING

    Never place discharged fluid or ink near an open flame.

    Doing so may cause fire.

    CAUTION:

    To store discharged fluid temporarily, place it in the included drain bottle or in a durable sealed container such as a metal can or polyethylene tank, and cap the container tightly.

    Any spillage or vapor leakage may cause fire, odor, or physical distress.

    IMPORTANT:

    Dispose of discharged fluid properly, in accordance with the laws in effect in your locale.

    Discharged fluid is flammable and contains toxic ingredients. Never attempt to incinerate discharged fluid or discard it with ordinary trash. Also, do not dispose of it in sewer systems, rivers, or streams. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the environment.
