• During printing, do not pull out a paper tray. Printing will stop and the paper will jam.
• Do not touch the feed belt, the transparent black band, print head rail rod, ink tubes, paper pressing
board, or toothed rubber belt. Also, take care not to snag any cables or ink tubes with your sleeves.

4. Print head rail rod
5. Paper pressing board
6. Feed belt
• Take care not to let paper clips and other foreign objects fall inside the printer.
• After you install the print cartridge and switch the printer on for the first time, the print head priming
process will begin. This process sometimes clogs the print head. If this happens, perform the head
cleaning procedure.
• During printing, do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• During printing, do not subject the printer to external shock such as that caused by tapping paper on
it.
• When not using the printer, turn off the power.
• You can place up to 20 kg (44.1 lb.) of evenly spread weight on the printer. Do not place any
concentrated weight of more than 5 kg (11.1 lb.) on the printer.
• Do not place unsteady objects on the printer. If they fall, they will cause injury to users and/or damage
to the printer.
• This printer has a nominal operational life of 5 years if used normally for 12 hours a day to produce
up to 2,500 A4 prints a month. Exceeding these limits may reduce the operational life. The operational
life also depends on the environment in which the printer is used.
• "Total Counter" displays the number of pages printed. Use "Total Counter" to estimate the number of
12
pages that can be printed within the printer's remaining operational life. The printer's operational life
is calculated based on the number of pages that it can print on plain paper in [Speed priority] mode.
About This Product
1
• This printer is designed to have an operational life of 5 years or be good for 150,000 pages.
• Depending on your printing document, the ink collector unit may fill up sooner than normal.
An "Ink Collector almost full" message appears shortly before the ink collector unit is full. Although
the printer remains usable until the unit is completely full, contact your sales or service representative
as early as possible (charge incurred).
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being removed
from their packaging.
• Cartridges that are no longer usable for printing reserve a small quantity of ink for maintenance usage.
• Print cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety
and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
• Single-sided copies are printed at higher density than duplex-printed copies.
• For print quality and consistency, this printer always uses all the available ink colors (black, cyan,
yellow, and magenta) to produce print images. Even if your print image is black and white or [Black
and White] is selected in the printer properties dialog box, all ink colors will still be used.
• Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a color ink such
as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white. If a message
prompting you to change the print cartridge appears, change the cartridge as soon as possible.
• Printing hundreds of copies in a single day might cause the print head to clog the following day. If
this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure.
• This printer performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure consistent
print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of disuse.
• Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It may
also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain printer performance.
• If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet. Because the printer consumes a lot of ink for maintenance and
print head cleaning when switched on after a long period of inactivity, we recommended you use the
printer at least once a month.
• Do not move the printer while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the printer is on a level
surface and safe from shock and vibration.
• Do not switch the printer off while it is busy. Make sure the printer is idle before switching it off.
• Condensation can form inside the printer if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Allow any
condensation to fully evaporate by not switching the printer on for at least an hour after moving it.
