Notes on Usage
Notes on Usage
Notes when Handling the Main Unit
• Do not suddenly change the temperature in the room where this printer is installed.
If the temperature changes suddenly, drops of water (condensation) could occur inside
the printer which may have an adverse effect on operations.
• Use the printer in an environment with a temperature of 10 to 30 °C, and a humidity of 20
to 80 %. When the printer is placed on a system rack, make sure the environment of the
rack is within these ranges.
• Do not place any containers containing water, such as vases or cups, on the printer. If
water enters the printer, it may breakdown. Also, do not put any heavy objects on the
printer.
• The printer is equipped with several vents. The vents take in and exhaust air to cool the
printer internally. Do not block these vents by placing any objects against them, or by
covering them with lm sheets or paper.
• Do not use accessories designed for this printer with any other products.
• If the printer’s covers are opened during printing, a safety device is activated and
printing is stopped automatically. Do not turn off the printer in this condition. This could
cause the print head nozzles to dry and print quality to decline.
• Depending on the performance of the computer being used, the printer stops printing
temporarily; however, this is not a malfunction. This problem does not normally occur
for Windows 7 or later.
The printer and the computer are communicating. Do not do anything to interfere with
the printing operation, such as opening covers or removing the paper.
• If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, make sure you leave the Ink
cartridges and Maintenance Cartridge installed.
• Do not leave the printer for more than three days in a state in which the power was
turned off due to a power outage and so on. Paper may curl which could cause a decline
in printer performance.
• Contact our service support when transporting the printer.
Notes on the Paper
Notes on Handling
Use paper recommended by our company.
Note the following points when handling the paper.
• Do not bend the paper or scratch the surface of the printable side.
• Do not touch the printable side of the paper. Moisture and oil from hands can have an
adverse effect on the print quality.
• Handle the paper by the edges. We recommend wearing cotton gloves.
• Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.
• Do not use paper that is wrinkled, scuffed, torn, or dirty.
Notes on Storage
Before and after opening the paper, store it in an environment that is not subject to direct
sunlight and meets the following conditions. If paper is not being used after it has been
opened, remove it from the spindle unit and wind it up before storing.

Paper Case
* The paper case should ideally satisfy the following
specications:
* Recommended Paper Case
Material Material with excellent airtightness, such as polypropylene or EVA resin.
Size 475 x 310 x 295 mm
You can store two roll papers or one roll paper loaded on the spindle unit.
Function Excellent airtightness.
To ensure sufcient airtightness, select a case with a rubber gasket between
the box and lid.
Important:
Do not wet the paper.
Notes on Printing
Make sure that the leading edge of the paper is perpendicular to the long side and cut
completely straight.
Storing and Displaying Print Outs
• Make sure you do not rub or scratch the printed side.
• Avoid locations that are subject to high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight, and
store in a dark place.
• Avoid displaying print outs outdoors or in direct sunlight. This may accelerate the
fading.
• When displaying print outs indoors, we recommend placing them in glass frames and so
on. This allows you to display your print outs for a long time without them fading.

xii - Frontier DE100 Operation Guide -
Notes on Usage
Notes on Handling Ink Cartridges
• If you move the ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave them at room
temperature for more than four hours before use.
• We recommend that ink cartridges be stored in a cool location and used before the
expiry date printed on the packaging. Also, the ink cartridges should be used within six
months of opening.
• Do not touch the ink supply port on the ink cartridge or its surrounding area. Ink may
leak from it.
• The ink level and other data are stored in the IC chip, allowing ink cartridges to be used
after being removed and replaced.
• To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store the removed ink cartridge properly. The
ink supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped.
• Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get
any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
• Do not touch the green chip (IC chip) on the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal
operation and printing.
• Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard objects. Ink could leak out from the
cartridge.
• Even while nothing is printed, the printer uses ink from all cartridges during head
cleaning and other maintenance operations to keep the print head in good condition.
• Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not effect printer
function or performance.
• Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed. The inks inside the printer may
dry and you may not be able to print.
• Install ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty.
Disposing of Used Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Cartridge
Dispose of consumables and optional parts in accordance with your local laws and
statutes, such as by entrusting them to an industrial waste disposal company.
