Precautions to observe when handling the paper
• Paper may not be fed correctly and may become jammed if the leading edge of the
roll paper is not straight or if there is adhesive from the fastening tape remaining on
the paper. Make sure that the leading edge is straight before loading the paper in the
printer.
• Paper feed problems or paper jams may occur if paper that is not Graphtec-supplied
paper is used. Be sure to use Graphtec-supplied paper.
• Depending on the storage conditions, the paper may become creased and/or the
leading edge may curl up. The use of creased or curled paper may cause paper jams.
Remove the creased or curled sections before loading the roll paper in the printer.
(If you are using a cut sheet, remove the creased section before loading the sheet in
the printer.)
Notes on the ink cartridges
Do not leave an ink cartridge that has been removed from the printer lying around for an
extended period of time. Doing so may cause ink deterioration, inferior print quality, or
clogging of the print head nozzles.
Notes on the print heads
Do not perform any unnecessary print head removal or mounting operations. Print head
removal and mounting operations should only be performed when print head replace-
ment is required.
Be sure to observe the following points when loading paper in
the A2-size paper feed cassette
• Align the edges of the paper stack before loading it in the tray.
• Do not use paper that has been folded or creased.
• Fan the paper stack thoroughly before loading it in the tray.
If the paper is not fanned, paper jams may occur or two or more sheets may be fed at
the same time.
