INK JET PRINTER FOR INDUSTRIAL MARKING 

Model UX Twin-Nozzle

Thank you for purchasing the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX Twin Nozzle.
This printer employs a noncontact, ink-jet method to print onto a print target.
This instruction manual describes the basic operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and other detailed 
handling procedures of the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX Twin Nozzle.
If the printer is improperly handled or maintained, it may not operate smoothly and may become defective or 
cause an accident.  It is therefore essential that you read this manual to gain a complete understanding of the 
printer and use it correctly.
After thoroughly reading the manual, properly store it for future reference.

IF you changed the language of screen by mistake,see "7.8 Selecting Languages" in the Instruction Manual.
