Stecken Sie den Netzstecker des Druckers nicht mit nassen Händen in die Steckdose, und
ziehen Sie den Netzstecker nicht mit nassen Händen aus der Steckdose.
Stecken Sie den Stecker immer vollständig in die Steckdose.
Das Netzkabel darf nicht beschädigt, verändert, gedehnt oder übermäßig

das Netzkabel.
Schließen Sie den Drucker nicht gemeinsam mit anderen Geräten
(Verlängerungskabel, Zwei- oder Dreifachsteckdose usw.) an eine Steckdose an.

4Preparing the Printer
ENGLISH
Preparing the Printer
Be sure to read your setup sheet first for setting up your printer and getting it ready for use.
Unpack the printer
Please confirm the included items against the illustration printed on the lid of the packing box.
1Turn on the printer.
2Install the Print Head.
3Install the ink tanks.
4Load printing paper.
In the following process, you will be required to perform the Print Head Alignment, and you
will need two sheets of supplied paper (MP-101) loaded with the printing side (whiter side)
facing UP in the Rear Tray.
Important
A USB cable is necessary to connect the printer with your computer.
Caution
Be sure to remove the tapes before you turn on the printer.
Note
The tape position is subject to change.
Caution
Do not touch internal parts other than the Print Head Lock Lever.
Important
Do not reattach the protective cap once it has been removed.
Note
There may be some transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag the print head comes in,
or the inside of the protective cap - this has no effect on print quality. Be careful not to get ink on
yourself when handling these items.
Important
zIf the Top Cover is open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the right
side. In this case, close the Top Cover, and open it again.
zMake sure that all the ink tanks are installed in the correct position, matching the label. The
printer cannot be used unless all the ink tanks are installed.
zOnce you have installed the ink tanks, the POWER lamp will flash green. Wait for about 2
minutes, until the POWER lamp stops flashing and changes to steady, non-flashing green and
the printer has stopped making operating noises, before proceeding.
Note
zBe sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in the exact order as shown in step 3 of your
setup sheet.
zDo not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes
and hands.
zDo not reattach the protective cap once you have removed it.
zThe ALARM lamp on the printer still flashes orange if an ink tank is not installed properly. Open
the Top Cover and make sure that position of all the ink tanks match the label.
Important
zWhen loading paper in the Rear Tray, make sure that the Rear Tray lamp is lit.
zAlways load paper in portrait orientation. Loading paper in landscape orientation can cause the
paper to be jammed.
