Precautions regarding
maintenance
Note the following points when cleaning and
replacing parts.
Caution:
❏
Store ink packs, ink cleaner, grease, and waste
ink in a location out of the reach of children.
❏
During maintenance, wear protective
clothing, including protective eyewear, gloves,
and a mask.
If ink, waste ink, ink cleaner, or grease
contact your skin or enter your eyes or
mouth, take the following actions:
❏
If fluid adheres to your skin, immediately
wash it off using large volumes of soapy
water. Consult a physician if the skin
appears irritated or is discolored.
❏
If fluid enters your eyes, rinse
immediately with water. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in
bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If
problems persist, consult with a physician.
❏
If fluid enters your mouth, consult a
physician immediately.
❏
If fluid is swallowed, do not force the
person to vomit, and consult with a
physician immediately. If the person is
forced to vomit, fluid may get caught in
the trachea which can be dangerous.
❏
Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding with cleaning or replacing the head
cleaning set.
❏
Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts
that do not require cleaning. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in malfunction or
reduced print quality.
❏
Use only the supplied cleaning sticks or sticks
contained in a maintenance kit. Other types of
sticks that produce lint will damage the print head.
❏
Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks
can make stains even harder to remove.
❏
Do not touch the tips of the cleaning sticks. Oil
from your hands could damage the print head.
❏
Do not use anything other than the specified ink
cleaner when cleaning around the print head,
caps, etc. Using anything else could result in
malfunction or reduced print quality.
❏
Touch a metallic object before starting work to
discharge any static electricity.
Daily Cleaning
When lint, dust, or ink adheres to the platen or the
media edge plates, it could cause clogged nozzles or
ink drops to occur.
To maintain optimum printing quality, we
recommend cleaning before starting work every day.
Caution:
❏
The heater may be hot; observe all necessary
precautions. Failure to observe the necessary
precautions could result in burns.
❏
Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when opening or closing the front cover.
Failure to observe this precaution could result
in injury.
