Keep in mind the following points before using the printer:
Precautions for proper use
PLEASE LEAVE THE PRINTER POWERED ON 24 HOURS A DAY.
Even when the printer is placed in standby mode, it performs such maintenance as white ink circulation inside
the main unit automatically to prevent sedimentation of the white ink.
Please use the printer within the scope covered by its warranty for the best print result (temperature: 18
to 30°C (64.4 to 86°F) and humidity: 35 to 85%).
Otherwise, the print heads may be clogged with ink and ink may splash.
Adjust the height of the platen according to the print medium before using it.
Adjust the height and check that the platen is not detected by the obstacle sensor.
Do not excessively lower the platen.
Otherwise, ink mist will be scattered inside the printer, which may result in staining of the printing surface,
blurring of the printed image, and malfunction of the sensor and the main unit. Increase the platen height if the
platen too low sensor is activated.

Never power off the printer or open the cover while the printer is in operation.
Otherwise, the printer may break down or a print job may end up in failure.
Until the ink is firmly fixed, do not touch the printed part.
If a T-shirt is soiled with such ink that has not been firmly fixed on its surface, such ink stain cannot be removed
even by washing.
About ink bottle
Refill ink into the ink bottle of the same color as the ink bottle seal.
Shake the white ink well until no deposits remain on the bottom of the bottle.
Otherwise, the white ink may precipitate.
