Caution:
❏
Store ink cartridges, Cleaning cartridge, ink
cleaner, secondary carriage rod grease, or
waste ink in a location out of reach of children.
❏
During maintenance, wear protective
clothing, including protective eyewear, gloves,
and a mask.
Should fluid such as ink or waste ink contact
your skin or enter your eyes or mouth,
immediately 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.
❏
After replacing the waste ink bottle or using the
ink cleaner, wash your hands and gargle
thoroughly.
❏
Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding.
❏
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 get alcohol or water on the caps or the nozzle
surface. Ink congeals when mixed with water or
alcohol.

Touch a metallic object before starting work to
discharge any static electricity.
