Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏ When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
“Specifications Table”. U “Specifications Table”
on page 207
Note, however, that the desired results may not be
achieved if the temperature and humidity are
within the limits for the printer but not within those
for the media. Be sure the operating conditions suit
the media. For more information, see the
documentation supplied with the media.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏ Avoid using the printer in locations with heat
sources or that are exposed to direct draughts from
ventilators or air conditioners. The print head
nozzles could dry out and clog.
❏ Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could
spill inside or around the printer.
❏ Maintenance such as cleaning and replacement
must be performed according to usage frequency or
at recommended intervals. Failure to perform
regular maintenance could result in loss of print
quality. In the absence of the appropriate
maintenance, continued use could damage the
print head.
U “Cleaning” on page 100
❏ The print head may not be capped (the print head
may not return to the left side) if the printer is
turned off when the media is jammed or an error
has occurred. Capping is a function for
automatically covering the print head with a cap
(lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In
this case, turn on the power and wait a while until
capping is performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏ When Maintenance Cleaning is On, the print head
is automatically cleaned at a fixed interval after
printing to keep the nozzles from clogging.
Be sure that the Waste Ink Bottle is placed whenever
the printer is on.
❏ As well as being expended during printing, ink is
used during head cleaning and other maintenance
required to keep the print head in working order.
❏ To ensure the colors you want to print, maintain a
constant room temperature of 18 to 28 ˚C.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ A service engineer must do pre- and
post-maintenance when the printer is not used for
over 6 weeks. Pre- and post-maintenance will be
provided for a fee.
During pre-maintenance, the ink in the ink tubes is
removed, and the inside of the tubes is washed using
the cleaning fluid in the cleaning cartridge, to
prepare for long-term storage. When restarting use
of the printer, recharge the printer with ink.
Moreover, depending on the environment and
length of time stored, repairs may be required
