1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HP Designjet High Speed Dryer - 104 inch (hereafter called the dryer).
The dryer is used near the printer's paper outlet to dry the ink printed on the paper efficiently.
The dryer helps the printer to maximize its high-speed printing capability.
Features of the dryer:
●Quick dry in response to high-speed printing
Dries the paper by warm air from the paper outlet which is the paper path from the printer to the
winding unit.
●24-hour timer
Sets drying time by the timer for up to 24 hours in units of one hour, allowing energy saving and
highly efficient drying.
NOTE The dryer dries the paper, but it takes more time to dry the ink on the paper. If
processes such as laminating are needed after printing, it is not recommended to do it just
after the paper is discharged from the printer. Some paper types cannot dry completely even
with the dryer. If this is the case, set a scan wait time from the operation panel of the printer.
Safety precautions
Warnings
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in serious personal injury or death.
●Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Doing otherwise may cause fire or
electric shock.
●The operation of the dryer releases volatile organic compounds from the inks into the work area.
Install and operate the dryer only in a well-ventilated area. In some cases, installing an extraction
hood near the dryer may be necessary to remove ink fumes from the work area.
●Avoid overloading the printer’s electrical outlet with multiple devices.
●Make sure the dryer is well grounded. If not, a short circuit may cause fire or electric shock.
●Do not disassemble or remodel the dryer. Do not repair the dryer yourself. Doing so may cause
fire, electric shock, or other accidents.
ENWW Safety precautions 1
Introduction

●Do not damage, break, process, or heat the power cable. Using a damaged power cable may
cause fire or electric shock.
●Do not remove the covers attached to the dryer because they contain high-voltage and extremely
hot parts. Careless removal might result in an electric shock or burn.
●Never use the dryer in a place of extreme humidity or any place where it can possibly be splashed
by any liquids. If any liquids get into the dryer, it could lead to fire, electric shock, or other serious
accidents.
●Do not remove the covers attached to the dryer, because the dryer contains high-voltage and
extremely hot parts. Removal might result in an electric shock or burn.
●Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts of the dryer, which may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.
●Do not disconnect or connect the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may lead to electric shock.
●Turn off the dryer and unplug the power cable from the power outlet in any of the following cases:
●When placing your hands inside the dryer.
●If there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from the dryer.
●If the dryer is making an unusual noise not heard during normal operation.
●If a piece of metal or a liquid (not part of cleaning and maintenance routines) touches internal
parts of the dryer.
●If an error code is displayed on the front panel that requires attention from a service engineer.
●During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm.
●During a power failure.
Cautions
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in minor personal injury or damage to the product.
●Handle the dryer carefully because it is very heavy. If you drop it, it could cause personal injury.
●Hold the electric cable by the plug when connecting or disconnecting it. Failing to do so may cause
the cable to fray or break which could lead to electric shock and/or fire.
●Do not install the dryer on an unsteady or inclining surface. If you drop the dryer or it falls over, it
could cause personal injury.
●The dryer gets hot. Take care not to touch the hot parts to avoid being injured.
Handling precautions
Power supply
●Install the dryer near a power outlet that is easy to access.
●Do not connect the dryer to the power supply which connects a motor or other machines
generating noise.

5 How to use the dryer
Basic operating procedure
1. Press the Power button (2) to switch on the dryer (the operation panel and air flow lamp come on).
2. Press the Heater button (4) to set the operation mode (the Fan lamp (7) and the Heater lamp (8)
will come on).
●If the Fan button (3) has been pressed before the Heater button (4), you will not be able to
turn on the heater by pressing the Heater button (4). You must press the Fan button (3) again
(so the Fan lamp (7) goes off) and then press the Heater button (4) so that hot air operation
starts (both the Fan lamp (7) and the Heater lamp (8) should come on).
●Warm air operation can be restarted by pressing the Heater button (4) while the fan is turning
for three minutes after the heater has been switched off.
3. The timer is used to set the operation time of the dryer. It can be set to a time of up to 24 hours.
●The default setting of the timer is 10 hours.
●You cannot change the time on the timer during the three minute cooling-off period.
NOTE When the remaining time on the timer reaches 0, warm air from the fan will stop.
The fan will continue to operate for an additional three minutes in order to cool the dryer
after the warm air stops.
4. Press the Air Flow button (6) to adjust the air flow of the fan.
5. Press the Heater button (4) to stop warm air operation. The fan will operate for an additional three
minutes after warm air stops.
6. Turn off the main power switch to terminate operation.
NOTE The fan will continue to operate for an additional three minutes even when the
Power button (2) has been pressed without first switching off the heater (using the Heater
button (4)).
ENWW Basic operating procedure 15
How to use the dryer

CAUTION Do not sit on the dryer or lean heavily on it. It is not strong enough to support your
weight.
Do not turn off the main power switch until the fan has finished its three-minute cooling-off
period after the heater stops. When the main power switch is turned off, the fan stops turning,
resulting in an increase in internal temperatures due to the remaining heat of the heater. This
may damage the dryer. In addition heated surface may cause burns. If the main power switch
is accidentally turned off, or the power cable pulled out, turn on the power again and run the
fan with the air flow set to high for at least five minutes to cool down the dryer.
If the power cable is accidentally disconnected, do not touch the dryer, which will still be hot.
The ink does not dry immediately. Take care that freshly-printed paper does not touch anything.
The printed paper may be damaged if the dryer is too close to it. Make sure the dryer is at
least 50 mm from the paper.
If the dryer's air inlet becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature will rise, which may
cause a failure. Clean the air inlet at regular intervals.
Efficient use of the dryer
Direction of warm air
Set the body of the dryer pointing slightly downward as shown below. Drying efficiency increases with
warm air blowing along the surface of the paper.
1. Paper
2. Dryer
3. Warm air
Airflow setting
Air flow can be set to one of three levels. The dryer uses a constant conduction heater, and accordingly
temperature drops as air flow increases, or rises as air flow decreases. To improve the drying efficiency,
high air flow (H) is recommended during warm air operation.
