rear of the machine.
WARNING
We recommend leaving this switched on at all times during ordinary
day-to-day operation. (The machine monitors the dryness of the print
heads which this switch is on.)
➀ Main power switch
for the printer
When leaving the printer unattended after completing operation, be sure to turn
off the power to the machine.
Failure to do so may lead to overheating of the platen or dryer, resulting to fire. Also, inadvertent contact by someone other than the operator may result in sudden operation of the machine, leading to injury or burns.

Chapter 2 Operation
2-1 Switching the Power On and Off
The Power-saving Feature
This machine is provided with a power-saving feature that switches to a low-power "sleep mode" when a fixed
interval passes with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep
mode is 30 minutes.
You can change the setting for the time of the shift to the sleep mode. You can also switch off the power-saving
feature.
☞ p 79 "Setting the Interval until Activation of the Sleep Mode"
☞ p 80 "Deactivating the Sleep Mode"
When the machine is in the sleep mode, the POWER light flashes slowly and the heating devices stop.
Using the control panel or performing operations such as sending printing data from the computer (when media
is loaded) restore the machine to its normal mode.
To reduce power consumption and prevent problems such as overheating, we recommend leaving the powersaving feature on and setting the activation time for the sleep mode to 30 minutes or less.

How to Load Media
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
When loading or moving roll media, be sure to use load-handling equipment such
as a lifter and carry out operations with care to prevent falls or other accidents.
Some roll media may weigh about 100 kg (220 lb.). Attempting manual lifting operations that
tax your strength may cause physical injury. Also, if dropped, such items may cause unexpected
injury, such as crushing of the feet.
Never use media less than 1,220 mm (48 inches) in width.
The platen may overheat, resulting in fire or the release of toxic gases.
Be sure to perform operations as specified by these instructions, and never touch
any area not specified in the instructions.
Sudden movement of the machine may cause injury.
