The Ioline FlexJet E printer has many fast moving components.
Please read and follow these safety guidelines before beginning
operation of the printer:

n Do not try to repair the machine without factory authoriza-

tion. Only qualified service personnel should attempt any

disassembly or access to internal components. If external
mechanical adjustments are necessary, turn off the printer and
disconnect it from all power sources (both the computer and
the wall outlet).

Safety &

Cautions

n Be careful with hair, jewelry, or loose clothing near the printer.

They can become caught in the mechanical parts.

n Never attempt to move the carriage by hand when the power is

on. Always use the Arrow keys to move the carriage. To park

the carriage safely in
the Service Station
and protect the print
cartridges, press the
Clean button.

n Keep hands away

from the carriage
when the printer is in
operation. The car-

riage will automati­cally move to touch
the left end plate then
back to the right end
(the Service Station
position) when the
power is turned on.

n Never insert hands or other objects into the Service Station

area on the right side of the printer. The carriage occasionally

enters this area without warning and could collide with an
obstruction, potentially causing and injury.

Hold the bottom surfaces of the end covers

to avoid injury to your ngers.

n Be careful when moving or lifting the printer. Moving the print-

er requires at least 2 people. To avoid injury to your fingers, do
not lift the printer by the end plates. Hold the bottom surfaces
of the end covers to lift or move it. See Figure 1.

n Keep fingers away from the drive shaft when the printer is in

operation. Serious injury could result.
