Grounding Instructions

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn out cord immediately.



Turn on the main power switch.



Press the sub power button.

Note: For installation of the ink cartridge and selection of the language displayed on the display screen, refer to Setup Guide.

The Power-saving Feature (Sleep Mode)

This machine is provided with a power-saving feature that switches to a low-power "sleep mode" when a xed interval passes with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep mode is 30 minutes. When the machine is in the sleep mode, the sub power switch ashes slowly. Using the operation panel or performing operations such as sending output data from the computer (when media is loaded) restores the machine to its normal mode. This setting of sleep mode can be changed. However, we recommend setting the activation time for the sleep mode to 30 minutes or less to reduce power consumption and prevent problems such as overheating.

Important Note on Cutting

When you’re performing cutting only, never use the media clamps.

When you’re performing cutting only, remove the media clamps or move to the locations where they don’t clamp the media.

When using the roll media and only performing cutting, let the media hang down to the

rear of the machine. (or set the [PREFEED] menu to “ENABLE.”)

This prevents a motor error or fall of the roll because the media is pulled with excessive force.

For the [PREFEED] menu, refer to  P. 120, "Preventing Pulling of the Media with Undue Force When Performing Cutting Only"

When you’re performing printing followed immediately by cutting (Print and Cut), then

before you start cutting, allow the ink to dry sufciently.

Use your software RIP to make the setting for the drying time. For information on how to make the setting, refer to the documentation for the software RIP you're using. The drying time varies according to the media.

Turn the media by hand to pull out the necessary length from the roll. If the media is hanged down from the rear of the machine, you can leave the [PREFEED] function “DISABLE.”
