Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏ When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specications Table".
U “Specications Table” on page 171
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure
to use the printer in an environment where the
paper's requirements are met. For more details,
see the documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏ Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
❏ e print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs
and the printer is turned o without rst resolving
the error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. e print
head may not be capped properly. In this case,
turn on the power and wait a while until capping
is performed automatically.
❏ Even when printing is not performed, some of
each color of ink will be consumed by ink
cartridge replacement, print head cleaning, and
other maintenance operations needed to keep the
print head in good condition.
❏ e printer may automatically perform print head
cleaning to maintain good printing quality. Please
wait until cleaning nishes without opening any of
the covers or turning o the power.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ When storing the printer, store it at with the ink
cartridges installed. Do not place the printer tilted,
