1. Getting Started

This section describes the safety precautions before use and the installation environment.

Safety Precautions

• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these

items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers

holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result

from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

• If the machine emits smoke or odours, or if it behaves unusually, you must turn off its power

immediately. After turning off the power, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet. Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use the

machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• If metal objects, or water or other fluids fall inside this machine, you must turn off its power

immediately. After turning off the power, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet. Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use the

machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not remove any covers or screws other than those explicitly mentioned in this manual. Inside

this machine are high voltage components that are an electric shock hazard. Contact your sales

or service representative if any of the machine's internal components require maintenance,

adjustment, or repair.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this machine. Doing so risks burns and electric shock.

• Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over,

possibly resulting in injury.

• Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when

removing misfed and performing maintenance on the machine. Not doing so could result in

burns.

• While safety measures have been installed to prevent accidents, you must not touch the

machine's rollers while it is operating. Doing so could cause injury.

3

• Keep ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid away from an open flame. Also keep the

room well ventilated when you use or handle ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid.

• If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid get into contact with eyes, wash eyes immediately

with running water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

• If ink, flushing liquid, or displacement liquid are ingested, consult a doctor immediately with

Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

• When removing jammed media or performing maintenance on the machine, avoid getting ink,

flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your clothing. If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement

liquid come into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with water.

• When removing jammed media, replacing media, or performing maintenance on the machine,

avoid getting ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your skin. If ink, flushing liquid, and

displacement liquid come into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with

soap and water.

About Operating Environments

Conditions for Installation Locations

• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might

occur.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might

occur.

• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good

ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

• Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal

components.

The following is the recommended range for the operating environment:

• Temperature: 15–30°C (59–86°F) (Recommended range: 20–25°C (68–77°F))

• Humidity: 35–80% (Recommended range: 40–60%)

• Altitude: 2,000 m (approx. 6,561.7 ft.) or less

Place the machine on a level surface. The machine must be level within 5 mm (approx. 0.2 inches): both

front to rear and left to right.

Place the machine in a stable place where the floor is strong enough to withstand a load of 1,800

N/m

or more.

If the machine is placed somewhere where the conditions are different from those recommended, a

failure may occur. Avoid the following environments when locating the machine:

• Low temperature and humidity or high temperature and humidity

• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Places close to heaters, air conditioners, or humidifiers

• Places subject to frequent strong vibration

• Places with poor ventilation

• Dusty areas

• Places close to an oil heater or machine generating ammonia, such as a diazo copy machine

Precautions for users of ultrasonic-type humidifiers

Do not use an ultrasonic-type humidifier near this product.

About Operating Environments

5

Chlorine or mineral components atomized by an ultrasonic-type humidifier may adhere to the

electronic components inside the product, causing it to malfunction.

2. Daily Care and Maintenance

This chapter describes how to care and maintain the machine.

About the Frequency of Maintenance

• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one periodically by service personnel.

Be sure to make a contract with your distributor or dealer for after sale service to ensure a long

life of your machine.

• If the machine's interior is not cleaned regularly, dust will accumulate. Fire and breakdown can

result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this machine. Contact your sales or service

representative for details about and charges for cleaning the machine's interior.

• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, or replacing the cleaning cartridge, make sure to

wear the attached goggles.

• When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.

• Please use protective equipment in order to avoid exposure to liquid.

• The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene gloves

instead.

Perform maintenance regularly in order to use the machine at its best possible condition. Make sure to

keep the nozzle parts of the print heads that discharge ink in good condition as they may affect the

printing results due to the adherence of particles or dust.

Tools required for maintenance

Be sure to wear the included protective glasses and protective gloves, or the equivalent tools.

The following items are disposable: waste cloth (paper towel), non-woven fabric, protective

gloves, and cleaning stick. Be sure to use new ones instead of reusing them.

When cleaning the caps and the area around the print heads, use a cleaning stick. If you use a

regular cotton swab, fluff may be left on the said areas and cause a secondary malfunction.

• Waste cloth (paper towel)/Non-woven fabric

Used to clean the exterior of the machine and the nozzle faces of the print heads. Do not use it

to clean the caps or the area around the print heads.

• Cleaning stick

Used to clean the caps and the area around the print heads. Be sure to use it for cleaning

confined areas such as gaps or uneven surfaces.

• Cleaning liquid bottle

Use when removing dirt that is hard to remove or cured ink.

• Dropper

Use when filling the caps of the print heads with cleaning liquid. Suck up the cleaning liquid

from the cleaning liquid bottle before using.

• Protective gloves

Daily Maintenance

This section describes how to shake the white ink cartridge and clean the media guide. Perform

maintenance before daily work so the machine may be used safely for an extended period.

Shaking a White Ink Cartridge

As the components of white ink deposit easily, pull out the white ink cartridge, and then shake it before

daily work.

Shake the white ink cartridge when the following message appears on the display:

"White ink has settled. Please shake the white ink cartridge."

• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridges, flushing cartridges, displacement liquid

cartridges, and cleaning cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
