ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
oTemperature&Humidity
See the following table.
*1 When storing the printer, make sure the printheads are in the home (capped) position. If
necessary switch power on, wait for the printheads to move to the home position, and then
switch power off.
*2 Before transporting the printer, remove the ink cartridges and turn the ink valves screws to
the closed position. Also make sure the printheads are in the home, capped, position. After
transporting the printer, install new ink cartridges.
*3 If the temperature drops below -15°C (5°F), the ink in the cartridges and printheads freezes.
The ink thaws completely after three hours at 25°C (77°F).
*4 If kept in an environment with a temperature of -15°C or lower, the ink inside the print head
and the ink cartridge will freeze. Once ink is frozen, a period of approximately 3 hours in a
25°C environment is required until the ink can be used again.
