Using Your Printer
Follow these guidelines as you use your printer:
• Operate the printer only within the specified operating temperature and humidity range.
• Check to make sure you maintain the specified humidity range, especially in dry areas, air conditioned
environments, or in direct sunlight.
• Do not install the printer next to heat sources or directly in the path of exhaust from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print head nozzles drying out and
clogging.
• Do not bend or pull the waste ink tubes. Otherwise ink may leak inside or outside the printer.
• Waste ink must be allowed to drain freely into the waste ink bottle. Cut waste ink tubes down to size to
fit the installation space, if necessary.
• If an error occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error, the print head may not be
capped on the right side, which may cause the print head to dry out. In this case, turn on the power
and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.
• When the printer is on, do not disconnect the power cable or cut the power at the circuit 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.
• Do not remove ink cartridges while the printer is operating. A malfunction may occur.
• The suction cap, wiper unit, flushing pad, tubes, encoder strip (carriage scale), and air filter require
periodic maintenance. Replace or clean them if you see a message telling you to do so. Print quality
declines if maintenance is not performed.
• Do not move the movable base or the platen manually. Otherwise a malfunction may occur.
