Never touch the print-head carriage while output is in progress.
The print-head carriage moves at high speed. Coming into contact with the moving carriage may cause injury.
IMPORTANT
If you are using white ink
Before the start of daily operations, remove just the white ink cartridge, shake it 50 times (about 20 seconds), and then reinsert it.
The ingredients in white ink tend to settle. Each day, before starting work for that day, be sure to shake the ink cartridge. Allowing the ink to stand can cause the settled material to harden, resulting in malfunctions or other problems.
Before shaking the ink cartridge, wipe off any ink from around its mouth. If you do not wipe off the ink, it may splatter when you shake the ink cartridge.
When shaking the ink cartridge, firmly hold it with both hands to prevent the ink cartridge cover from coming loose. The cover or ink pouch coming loose and falling may cause damage or printer malfunctions.
When you have finished mixing the ink, reattach the ink cartridge immediately. Taking time to reattach the ink cartridge will adversely affect the ink path.
Even if you are not using the printer, shake the white ink cartridge 50 times (about 20 seconds) once a week.
Procedure
Close the front cover.
Make sure that Output possible. is displayed in the status bar at the top of the screen.
Send the output data from the computer.
For information on how to create the output data, refer to the documentation for the software RIP.
MEMO
When you send the output data, Ink circulation in progress. or Normal cleaning in progress. may be displayed on the screen. These indicate the preparation operations performed before output. Output will begin after the time displayed on the screen elapses.
The data being output can be viewed as an image. Tap shown in the following figure to switch to the remaining ink screen. Tap this icon again to return to the screen for checking the data being output. However, this functionality is limited to software RIPs that support the display of the output data image (thumbnail).
IMPORTANT
Output is not possible in these situations

Data from the computer is not accepted when Load media. is displayed.
On menu screens where Menu operation in progress: Press [Home] to enable output. is displayed, output doesn't start even when data is sent from the computer. When you return to a menu item where output is possible or tap to return to the home screen, output starts.
