Usage Precautions

In the event of abnormal conditions

WARNING

• In the event of abnormal conditions such as smoke or unusual odor, turn off the main power immediately and unplug the power cable. Continuing to use this machine under these conditions may result in failure, electric shock, or fire. Once you have confirmed that smoke is no longer being emitted, contact your local dealer or our service office. Never attempt to repair this machine yourself. Doing so is hazardous.

CAUTION

• Immediately wipe off any ink, maintenance liquid, waste ink, or other liquid used with this machine that comes into contact with your skin. Then wash using soap, and rinse with plenty of water. Failure to wash off ink may result in skin inflammation. If your skin becomes irritated or painful, seek medical attention immediately.
• If ink, maintenance liquid, waste ink, or any other liquid used in this machine comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. Rinse for at least 15 minutes. If you wear contact lenses and they can be easily removed, remove after rinsing for at least 15 minutes with clean water. Be sure to also rinse the undersides of your eyelids. Failure to rinse off ink may result in blindness or impaired vision. If your eyes become irritated or painful, seek medical attention immediately.
• If ink, maintenance liquid, waste ink, or any other liquid used in this machine enters your mouth or is swallowed, gargle with water immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention promptly. Inducing vomiting may cause liquid to enter the airway.
• If a large amount of vapor is inhaled, move to a well-ventilated area, keep warm, and rest in a posture that allows easy breathing. If the condition does not improve, seek medical attention promptly.

NOTICE

• If an ink leak occurs, turn off the main power immediately and unplug the power cable. Contact your local dealer or our service office.

Power supply precautions

WARNING

• Use the power cable provided. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire. Do not use the power cable with other electronic devices.
• Always grasp the plug when unplugging the power cable. Pulling on the power cable itself may damage the cable and result in failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Do not use the power plug with dust on it. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Avoid touching the blade of the power plug with a metal object. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Do not attempt to modify the cable. Avoid damaging the cable. Avoid placing heavy objects on the power cable or pulling on or exposing the cable to heat. Doing so may damage the cable, resulting in electric shock or fire.
• Do not use extension cords or multi-outlet extension cords. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Do not use if the power cable appears to be damaged or the core wire has an exposed or broken core. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Plug the power cable plug into a grounded power outlet. Otherwise, there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
• When installing electrical outlets, grounding work is necessary to prevent electric shock accidents. All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician.
• Perform grounding work.

NOTICE

• Do not turn off the main power supply. Turning off the main power supply will disable the automatic maintenance function (including nozzle clogging prevention function and ink discharge channel cleaning function). This will increase the risk of print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Use this machine with a power supply that meets specifications.
• Be sure to plug the power cable into a power outlet close to the machine. Insert the power plug blade securely.
• When connecting the power cable, check the input voltage of the power outlet and the capacity of the breaker. Also, connect each cable to a separate power source with an independent breaker. Connecting to power outlets linked with the same breaker may trip the breaker.

Caution regarding moving parts

CAUTION

• Keep parts of the body such as the face and hands away from moving parts. Also keep clothing (e.g., loose clothing and accessories) that may impede work away from the machine. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Long hair should be tied back. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Do not disassemble or repair

WARNING

• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair this machine. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.

Handling the cutter

CAUTION

• Avoid touching the cutter blade. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Disposing of this machine

CAUTION

• Please contact your local retailer or service agent.
• When disposing of this machine yourself, contact an industrial waste disposal operator or dispose of this machine in accordance with local laws and regulations.

Other Usage Precautions

WARNING

• Keep children away from this machine.

NOTICE

• Do not use ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with this product with other printers. Disregarding this precaution may result in damage to the printer.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the ink IC chip. Static electricity may damage the ink IC chip, and dirt or damage may make the ink IC chip unreadable.
• Store in a low place no higher than 1 m above the floor. Dropping this machine may result in splashing ink.
• Store in sealed containers.
• Store in a cool and dark place.
  1. Store ink in an environment where it will not freeze. Note that using thawed ink may affect printing quality due to ink degradation.
  2. When moving ink from cold to warm locations, allow to stand for at least three hours before use in the same conditions as the machine.
  3. Open the ink before use and use up as quickly as possible. Print quality may degrade if the bottles are left open for extended periods.
• Printing is disabled if a different ink IC chip is used.
• There is no problem with the ink bottles used with this machine, even if they are dented.

Restrictions concerning the product

The ink expiration date is indicated on the Ink bottle. Expired ink may cause printing defects or alter the color tone. Printing is possible even if the ink has passed its expiration date. Nevertheless, we recommend replacing with new ink or using up as quickly as possible.
Example: If the ink expiration date is indicated as April 2021:

• May: Replace with new ink or use up as quickly as possible. Printing is possible.
• June: Replace with new ink or use up as quickly as possible. Printing is possible.
• July: Printing is not possible.
• The message appears on the display.

  2. If the extractor outlet is fitted with a shutoff valve, the valve must be open when this machine is in use.

NOTICE

• Do not install this machine in locations where dust or powder is present. Failure or printing defects may result (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection) if dust gets inside this machine.
• Do not install this machine in locations exposed to drafts (e.g., from air conditioning). Disregarding this precaution may result in dust or powder getting inside this machine.
• Do not install this machine in unstable locations or locations subject to vibration. This will increase the risk of failure or printing defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Do not install this machine in locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not install this machine in locations subject to sudden temperature changes. This will increase the risk of failure or printing defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Do not install this machine in locations exposed to excessive noise from large machinery.
• Do not install this machine in locations where photographic fixer vapor, acidic vapor (e.g., acetic acid, hydrochloric acid), metalworking fluid, or volatile substances (e.g., amines, amine alcohols) are present. Installing in such environments may cause failure or printing defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection) due to ink coagulation on the print head surface.
• Operating conditions: 20 °C to 30 °C (68 °F to 86 °F), 35 %RH to 65 %RH (no condensation)
• Guaranteed accuracy temperature range: 20 °C to 25 °C (68 °F to 77 °F)
