WARNING

Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. DO NOT

plug several devices into one electrical outlet as this might result in fire

or electric shock.

Make sure the printer is well grounded. If not, a short circuit may cause

fire or electrical shock.

DO NOT disassemble or remodel the printer. DO NOT repair the printer

by yourself. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock or other accidents.

DO NOT damage, break, process, or heat the power cable. If it is

damaged, replace it with a new one. Using a damaged power cable may

cause fire or electric shock.

NEVER use the printer in a place of extreme humidity or any place

where it can possibly be splashed by any liquids. If any liquids get into

the printer, it could lead to fire, electric shock, or other serious accidents.

DO NOT remove the covers attached to the printer because they contain

high-voltage and extremely hot parts. Careless removal might result in

an electric shock or burn.

DO NOT allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts of the printer.

Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

DO NOT disconnect or connect the power cable with wet hands. Doing

so may lead to electric shock.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cable immediately after it

thundered.

WARNING

Power OFF the printer and unplug the power cable from the power outlet

in any of the following cases:

• When putting your hands inside the printer.

• Smoke, strange noise or smells generate from the printer.

•A piece of metal or any liquid touches the internal parts or slot of

the printer.

• An error requiring service by a service center occurs.

DO NOT put your hand into the paper delivery slot as it may lead to

injury by the cutting device.

Do not leave the printer stained with ink.

The coating of the printer may be damaged.

The ink used for the device contains organic solvent

(Ethylenglycolmonbutyleteracetat).

Therefore, observe the local rules strictly related to organic solvent stuff.

The ink used for the device contains organic solvent

(Ethylenglycolmonobutyletheracetat), Since the ink is flammable, never

use fire when using the device.

Do not swallow ink or avoid its splashes on the eye. If it gets into the

eye, wash it off with a clean running water and consult a doctor as

required. If it is swallowed, do not try to vomit it forcefully, but cunsult

a doctor.

Keep ink cartridges out of reach of children.

CAUTION

Handle the paper rolls with care because they are very heavy. If you

drop them, it could lead to personal injury.

Hold the electric cable by the plug when connecting or disconnecting it.

Failing to do so may cause the cable to fray or break which could lead to

electric shock and/or fire.

DO NOT get ink on your skin or clothes. Wash off any ink immediately

with soapy water.

DO NOT put any paper rolls on an unstable table or a tilted surface as

they could fall leading to an injury.

The heater will be hot.

Pay attention not to touch and not to be burned.

In order to ensure the safe operation of the printer heed all of the cautions

and warnings contained throughout this manual.

Handling Precautions

Power Supply

1. Install the printer near an easily accessible electrical outlet.

2. Do not provide power to the printer through the same power line as for noise-generating devices, such as a motor.

3. Use the power supply matched with the specification of the printer.

4. Connect the power cable to an electrical outlet. Do not plug

several devices into one electrical outlet.

5. Do not touch the ink-jet head surface.

Regular Inspection and Maintenance

The following regular inspection and maintenance must be performed in terms of characteristics of solvent ink.

1. Clean the capping unit every day.

2. Check moisture of wipper sponge every day.

3. Perform the head cleaning every one month.

4. Perform the service cleaning when leaving the printer for long time (2 weeks or more at power off state.)

Environmental Conditions

Operating temperature and humidity levels

The printer should be used within the temperature and humidity

levels shown below.

Temperature: 15 °C to 30 °C

Humidity: 30% to 70%

-To obtain better print quality, use the printer within

HINT

temperatures of 20 to 25 °C.

- When operating temperature is lower than 20 °C, the print speed goes down two-third of normal print speed to keep a good print quality.

- When the head temperature goes high, the print time is delayed.

Operating Conditions

Section 1 Getting Started (Basic knowledge)

NOTE

- When the printer is used out of range of the operating temperature and humidity, the print may be stopped and the print quality may be degraded.

Places where the printer must not be installed

Do not install the printer in the following places:

- Places exposed to direct sunlight

- Places subject to vibration

- Places with excessive dust

- Places subject to extreme changes in temperature or humidity

- Places near an air conditioner or a heater

- Places where the printer may get wet

- Places subject to direct air circulation from vents

Media/Paper

Available media types

We prepared the following types of media:

• Glossy vinyle chrolide

• Matted vinyle chrolide

• Banner

Contact our service center for details.

Section 1 Getting Started (Basic knowledge)

1-5

Precautions for storing media

-Avoid direct sunlight and water regardless of before and after

opening the package. Put paper in envelope to prevent dust and

store media in a dry, cool and dark place.

-Avoid rapid change of temperature and humidity and store media

with no condensing.

- Do not store media in standing condition to prevent disorder of

media and damage of roll edge.

- Do not pile up paper rolls.

Precautions for disposing of paper

- Dispose of media in rule matched to the actual situation.

If there is a limitation for disposal regulations, follow the

regulations.

Precautions for use

-Avoid a change of temperature and humidity after opening

package.

Set media after leaving media in the operation environment for

3 hours or more. Use care for a change of humidity by turning

ON/OFF the air conditioner.

- In terms of media characteristics, curl of paper in low humidity

and wrinkle of media in high humidity may occur easily.

Use paper in normal temperature and humidity environment

(around 23 °C and 50%RH).

- Do not use scratched, wrinkled, curled, or stained with dust

media.

Especially, roll edge (both edges of roll) affects media feeding.

Also, do not drop or wet the media. If doing so, it may cause

bad effect to print quality and causes a malfunction.

- Hold margins of the media so as not to touch the print surface.

Adhesion of sebaceous matter or sweat may cause bad effect to

print quality.

- Amend mis-roll of the media before setting.

1-6

Precautions for handling prints.

- Do not touch the print surface before drying up the ink.

Hold margins of the media for handling.

Especially use care before 24 hours after printing.

- Rubbing print surface causes color fading or color transfer.

Do not pile print surface to prevent color transfer.

- Do not pile together with copy prints or laser prints to prevent

sticking due to ink or toner.

- Do not rub, scratch, or hold the media to prevent pealing.

- Do not rub or leave the paper in wet condition to prevent blurring.

Other precautions

- Media causes color fading and a change in quality in getting

old.

Check paper condition and use well-conditioned paper.

- Paper dust due to cutting may cause float of coating.

- When using vinyl (with glue), adhesive matter (with glue) may

be sticked to the platen.

In this case, wipe up the adhesive matter referring to "Section 2,

Inspection & Maintenance".

Sticking of adhesive matter may cause paper jamming.
