SL-D800 Series Operation Guide

Before Use

Notes on Usage

Notes when Handling the Main Unit

❏ Do not suddenly change the temperature in the room where this printer is installed.

If the temperature changes suddenly, drops of water (condensation) could occur inside the printer which may have an adverse effect on operations.

❏ Use the printer in an environment with a temperature of 10 to 35˚C, and a humidity of 20 to 80%. When the printer

is placed on a system rack, make sure the environment of the rack is within these ranges.

❏ Do not place any containers containing water, such as vases or cups, on the printer. If water enters the printer, it

may breakdown. Also, do not put any heavy objects on the printer.

❏ The printer is equipped with several airflow vents. The airflow vents allow air to go in and out of the printer. Do not

block these airflow vents by placing any objects near them, or by covering them with film sheets or paper.

❏ Do not use accessories designed for this printer with any other products.

❏ If the printer's covers are opened during printing, a safety device is activated and printing is stopped

automatically. Do not turn off the printer in this condition. This could cause the print head nozzles to dry and print quality to decline.

❏ Depending on the performance of the computer being used, the printer stops printing temporarily; however, this

is not a malfunction.

❏ If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, make sure you leave the ink cartridges and maintenance

cartridge installed.

❏ Do not leave the printer for more than three days in a state in which the power was turned off due to a power outage

and so on. Paper may curl which could cause a decline in printer performance.

❏ Contact our service support when transporting the printer.

Notes on the Paper

Notes on Handling

Use paper recommended by our company.

Note the following points when handling the paper.

❏ Do not bend the paper or scratch the surface of the printable side.

❏ Do not touch the printable side of the paper. Moisture and oil from hands can have an adverse effect on the print

quality.

❏ Handle the paper by the edges. We recommend wearing cotton gloves.

❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.

❏ Do not wet the paper.

SL-D800 Series Operation Guide

Before Use

❏ Do not use paper that is wrinkled, scuffed, torn, or dirty.

❏ If the printer is left with paper loaded for some time, the leading edge of the paper may curl and print quality may

decline. We recommend removing paper from the printer when it is not in use.

SL-D800 Series Operation Guide

Before Use

Notes on storage

Before and after opening the paper, store it in an environment that is not subject to direct sunlight and meets the following conditions. If paper is not being used after it has been opened, remove it from the spindle unit and wind it up before storing.

Notes on printing

Make sure that the leading edge of the paper is perpendicular to the long side and cut completely straight.

Storing and displaying print outs

❏ Make sure you do not rub or scratch the printed side.

❏ Avoid locations that are subject to high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight, and store in a dark place.

❏ Avoid displaying print outs outdoors or in direct sunlight. This may accelerate the fading.

❏ When displaying print outs indoors, we recommend placing them in glass frames and so on. This allows you to

display your print outs for a long time without them fading.

Notes on Ink Cartridges

❏ If you move the ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave them at room temperature for more than

four hours before use.

❏ We recommend that ink cartridges be stored in a cool location and used before the expiry date printed on the

packaging. Also, the ink cartridges should be used within six months of opening.

❏ Do not touch the ink supply port on the ink cartridge or its surrounding area. Ink may leak from it.

❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC chip, allowing ink cartridges to be used after being removed and

replaced.

❏ To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink supply port has a

valve in it so it does not need to be capped.

❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the

surrounding area when removing the cartridges.

❏ Do not touch the green section (IC chip) on the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal operation and printing.

❏ Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.

❏ Even while nothing is printed, the printer uses ink from all cartridges during head cleaning and other maintenance

operations to keep the print head in good condition.

❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not effect printer function or performance.

❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed. The inks inside the printer may dry and you may not be

able to print. When you are not using the printer, make sure there is an ink cartridge installed in each slot.

❏ Install ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty.

SL-D800 Series Operation Guide

Before Use

❏ To maintain the quality of the head, the printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended;

therefore, some ink is left in used cartridges.

❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.

Disposing of Used Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Cartridges

Dispose of consumables and optional parts in accordance with your local laws and statutes, such as by entrusting them to an industrial waste disposal company.
