Installation
The main machine and options can be installed by either the customer or customer engineer. The
customer or customer engineer must follow the installation instructions described in the operating
instructions.
Reference Material for Maintenance
Maintenance shall be done with the special tools and the procedures prescribed for maintenance of the
machine described in the reference materials (service manuals, technical bulletins, operating
instructions, and safety guidelines for customer engineers).
• Use only consumable supplies and replacement parts designed for use with the machine.
1
Before Installation, Maintenance
Shipping and Moving the Machine
• Work carefully when lifting or moving the machine. If the machine is heavy, two or more customer
engineers may be required to move the machine without causing injury (muscle strains, spinal
injuries, etc.) or damage to the machine if it is dropped or tipped over.
• Personnel working around the machine should always wear proper clothing and footwear. Never
wear loose fitting clothing or accessories (neckties, loose sweaters, bracelets, etc.) or casual
footwear (slippers, sandals, etc.) when lifting or moving the machine.
• Always unplug the power cord from the power source before you move the machine. Before you
move the machine, arrange the power cord so it will not fall under the machine.
Power
• Always turn the machine off and disconnect the power plug before doing any maintenance
procedure.
• After turning the machine off, power is still supplied to the main machine and other devices. To
prevent electrical shock, switch the machine off, wait for a few seconds, then unplug the machine
from the power source.
• Before you do any checks or adjustments after turning the machine off, work carefully to avoid
injury.
• After removing covers or opening the machine to do checks or adjustments, avoid touching
electrical components or moving parts (gears, timing belts, etc.).
After turning the machine on with any cover removed, keep your hands away from electrical
•
components and moving parts.
• Never touch the cover of the fusing unit, gears, timing belts, etc.
Installation, Disassembly, and Adjustments
• After installation, maintenance, or adjustment, always check the operation of the machine to make
sure that it is operating normally. This ensures that all shipping materials, protective materials, wires
and tags, metal brackets, etc., (attached to protect the machine during shipping), have been
removed and that no tools remain inside the machine.
2
• Never use your fingers to check moving parts that are causing spurious noise. Never use your
fingers to lubricate moving parts while the machine is operating.
Special Tools
• Use only standard tools approved for machine maintenance.
• For special adjustments, use only the special tools and lubricants described in the service manual.
Using tools incorrectly, or using tools that could damage parts, could damage the machine or
cause injuries.
During Maintenance
General
• Before you begin a maintenance procedure always switch the machine off.
• Disconnect the power plug from the power source.
• Allow the machine to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Avoid touching the components inside the machine that are labeled as hot surfaces.
Safety Devices
• Never remove any safety device (a fuse, thermistor, etc.) unless it requires replacement. Always
replace a safety device immediately.
• Never do any procedure that defeats the function of any safety device. Modification or removal of
a safety device (fuse, thermistor, etc.) could cause a fire and personal injury. After removal and
replacement of any safety device, always test the operation of the machine to ensure that it is
operating normally and safely.
• For replacement parts use only the correct fuses, thermistors, circuit breakers, etc. rated for use with
the machine. Using replacement devices not designed for use with the machine could cause a fire
and personal injuries.
3
Organic Cleaners
• During cleaning never use any organic cleaners (alcohol, etc.) other than those described in the
service manual.
• Make sure the room is well ventilated before using any organic cleaner. Always use organic
solvents in small amounts to avoid breathing the fumes and becoming nauseous.
• Switch the machine off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before doing preventive maintenance.
• To avoid fire or explosion, never use an organic cleaner near any component that generates heat.
Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning parts with an organic cleaner to avoid contamination
•
of food, drinks, etc.
Power Plug and Power Cord
• Before servicing the machine (especially when responding to a service call), always make sure that
the power plug has been inserted completely into the power source. A partially inserted plug could
generate heat (due to a power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other
problems.
• Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint. Clean it if necessary. A
dirty plug can generate heat and cause a fire.
• Inspect the entire length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. Replace the power cord if
necessary. A frayed or otherwise damaged power cord can cause a short circuit which could lead
to a fire or personal injury from electrical shock.
• Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply. Make sure the power
cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such as a table leg. Coiling the power cord can
cause excessive heat to build up and could cause a fire.
Make sure that the area around the power source is free of obstacles so the power cord can be
•
removed quickly in case of an emergency.
• Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the power source with the ground wire on
the plug.
• Connect the power cord directly into the power source. Never use an extension cord.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the power source, always pull the plug, not the cable.
4
After Installation Servicing
Disposal of Used Items
• Ink is flammable. Never attempt to incinerate empty ink cartridges.
• Always dispose of used items in accordance with the local laws and regulations regarding the
disposal of such items.
• To protect the environment, never dispose of this product or any kind of waste from consumables at
a household waste collection point. Dispose of these items at one of our dealers or at an
authorized collection site.
Points to Confirm with Operators
At the end of installation or a service call, instruct the user about use of the machine. Emphasize the
following points.
• Show operators how to remove jammed paper and troubleshoot other minor problems by
following the procedures described in the operating instructions.
• Point out the parts inside the machine that they should never touch or attempt to remove.
• Confirm that operators know how to store and dispose of consumables such as ink cartridges,
ammonia water, paper, etc.
Make sure that all operators have access to an operating instruction manual for the machine.
•
• Confirm that operators have read and understand all the safety instructions described in the
operating instructions.
• Demonstrate how to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the
cord) if any of the following events occur:
1. Something has spilled into the product.
2. Service or repair of the product is necessary.
3. The product cover has been damaged.
• Caution operators about removing paper fasteners around the machine. They should never allow
paper clips, staples, or any other small metallic objects to fall into the product.

1. Product Information
Guidance for Differences between J034 and that of the base machine
Ink Tube Stay
The J034 model adds the ink tube support stay [A] between the carriage and the ink supply unit so that
the large size papers can be printed smoothly. However, this stay requires no additional steps for the
replacement. Pay extra attention to remove the carriage unit ( p.129) from the main machine to
avoid damaging to this stay.
Paper Transport Belt Unit
For supporting the large size papers, The J034 machine’s width is increased consequently. This changes
some replacement procedures. Regarding as the paper transport belt unit ( p.96 "Transport Belt"),
the following procedures are changed.
• The carriage unit should be removed before removing the belt unit.
• The number of the pressure plate’s screws becomes 4.
• The number of the pressure plate’s springs becomes 6.
Rollers
The Pickup roller and the connecting roller removing procedures are also changed in some parts.
24
Guidance for Differences between J034 and that of the base machine
The Paper Feed Roller
• The two e-rings should be released to remove the pressure rollers that pinch the paper feed roller
( p.123).
The Connecting Roller
