Important Notes on Handling and Use 

Printer 

 

This machine is a precision device. 
-

 

Never subject the machine to impacts or excessive force 

-

 

Never needlessly put your fingers inside the cover, the ink-pouch ports, or  internal 
areas of the machine. 

-

 

There is a small area for small article storage on the front of the machine. Do not place 
in this area any items to which cleaning liquid or ink is affixed. Doing so may damage 
the area for small article storage. 

 

Install in a suitable location. 
-

 

Install the machine in a location having the specified temperature and humidity. 

-

 

Install the machine in a quiet, stable location offering good operating conditions. 

 

The print heads are delicate. 
-

 

Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape them. 

-

 

The  print  heads  may  be  damaged  if  allowed  to  dry  out.    The  machine  prevents 
desiccation  automatically,  but  improper  operation  may  render  this  feature 
inoperative. Operate the machine properly, as specified in this manual. 

-

 

Never  leave  the  machine  with  an  ink pouch removed.  Remaining  ink  in the printer 
may harden and clog the print heads. 

-

 

Depending on the situation, the print heads require various types of cleaning. Read 
this manual thoroughly and perform the appropriate maintenance at the appropriate 
times. 

-

 

The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with 
the frequency of replacement depending on use. 

 

This machine becomes hot. 
-

 

Never cover the ventilation holes with cloth, tape, or anything else.
