Safety Precautions The following symbols are used in this manual to ensure the proper use of the printer and to prevent the printer from being damaged. Follow the instructions marked with these symbols. WARNING Serious personal injury or death: Failure to follow the guidelines marked with this symbol could result in serious personal injury or death.
PAGE 9

WARNING Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. DO NOT plug several devices into one electrical outlet as this might result in fire or electric shock. Make sure the printer is well grounded. If not, a short circuit may cause fire or electrical shock. DO NOT disassemble or remodel the printer. DO NOT repair the printer by yourself. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock or other accidents. DO NOT damage, break, process, or heat the power cable. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one.
PAGE 10

WARNING Power OFF the printer and unplug the power cable from the power outlet in any of the following cases: • When putting your hands inside the printer. • Smoke, strange noise or smells generate from the printer. • A piece of metal or any liquid touches the internal parts or slot of the printer. • An error requiring service by a service center occurs. DO NOT put your hand into the paper delivery slot as it may lead to injury by the cutting device. Do not leave the printer stained with ink.
PAGE 11

CAUTION Handle the paper rolls with care because they are very heavy. If you drop them, it could lead to personal injury. Hold the electric cable by the plug when connecting or disconnecting it. Failing to do so may cause the cable to fray or break which could lead to electric shock and/or fire. DO NOT get ink on your skin or clothes. Wash off any ink immediately with soapy water. DO NOT put any paper rolls on an unstable table or a tilted surface as they could fall leading to an injury.
PAGE 12

Handling Precautions Power Supply 1. Install the printer near an easily accessible electrical outlet. 2. Do not provide power to the printer through the same power line as for noise-generating devices, such as a motor. 3. Use the power supply matched with the specification of the printer. 4. Connect the power cable to an electrical outlet. Do not plug several devices into one electrical outlet. Printer 1. Do not place anything on top of the printer. Do not rest your elbows on the printer. 2.
PAGE 13

Consumables 1. Always use the recommended consumables (media, ink, etc.). Failure to follow this instruction may cause poor print quality or a breakdown. 2. Do not use ink past the date of expiration as this may cause a breakdown. 3. Put a used ink cartridge into a plastic bag and dispose of it as an industrial waste. Observe any regulations for disposal of waste ink bottles. 4. Do not get ink on your skin or clothes. Wash off any ink immediately with soapy water. 5.

(Basic knowledge) This section provides necessary information to operate the printer. Familiarize yourself with the basics of the printer before reading Section 2 and later.
PAGE 22

Operating Conditions This section describes the operating conditions for the printer. Installation Space There must be a sufficient space around the printer for the replacement of frequently used parts, for the output of drawings, and for ventilation. In addition, the maintenance space, shown below, is required to repair the printer or replace components. The installation/maintenance space is shown in the following figure.
PAGE 23

Environmental Conditions Operating temperature and humidity levels The printer should be used within the temperature and humidity levels shown below. Temperature: 15 °C to 30 °C Humidity: 30% to 70% HINT - - To obtain better print quality, use the printer within temperatures of 20 to 25 °C. When operating temperature is lower than 20 °C, the print speed goes down two-third of normal print speed to keep a good print quality. When the head temperature goes high, the print time is delayed.
PAGE 24

Places where the printer must not be installed Do not install the printer in the following places: - Places exposed to direct sunlight - Places subject to vibration - Places with excessive dust - Places subject to extreme changes in temperature or humidity - Places near an air conditioner or a heater - Places where the printer may get wet - Places subject to direct air circulation from vents - Places near a diazo copier that may generate ammonia gas - Places with poor ventilation - Unstable places 1-4
PAGE 25

Consumables Section 1 Getting Started (Basic knowledge) Media/Paper Available media types We prepared the following types of media: • Glossy vinyle chrolide • Matted vinyle chrolide • Banner Contact our service center for details.
PAGE 26

Precautions for storing media - Avoid direct sunlight and water regardless of before and after opening the package. Put paper in envelope to prevent dust and store media in a dry, cool and dark place. - Avoid rapid change of temperature and humidity and store media with no condensing. - Do not store media in standing condition to prevent disorder of media and damage of roll edge. - Do not pile up paper rolls. Precautions for disposing of paper - Dispose of media in rule matched to the actual situation.
PAGE 27

Consumables - Do not touch the print surface before drying up the ink. Hold margins of the media for handling. Especially use care before 24 hours after printing. - Rubbing print surface causes color fading or color transfer. Do not pile print surface to prevent color transfer. - Do not pile together with copy prints or laser prints to prevent sticking due to ink or toner. - Do not rub, scratch, or hold the media to prevent pealing. - Do not rub or leave the paper in wet condition to prevent blurring.

Inspection & Maintenance Check no dregs of the dried ink and no damage on the blades. After completion of the cleaning, close the wipe cover and the rear cover to return the wiper to the position as it was. Wiper blades Enter to the “ADJUST” menu and select “TEST PRINT” on the operation panel. (See page 3-19.) Check no print dot-off and missing. Perform the test print as the 1st time print on every day and especially after cap cleaning for head cleaning.
PAGE 96

Pour the waste ink into the proper container you prepared and make the waste ink bottle empty. The wiper sponge has to be moistened. Check the moisture of the sponge every day before printing. Check whether the sponge is dried by pressing the dried swab on the sponge. If the sponge is dried, moisten it with the wiper cleaning liquid. For details, contact our service center. Moisten with 2 à 3 syringes is sufficient.
