In case of emergency
Precautions for handling
Direction
This product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage
230V.
Direction
This AC outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Danger
Prohibit
No one other than our service personnel may remove any covers unless otherwise instructed.
There are many high-voltage portions inside the equipment, which are hazardous.
Direction
If the power cord, communication cable, or input/output cable is connected or disconnected
while the power is on, the equipment may be damaged. When installing or moving this
product, opening its cover, or connecting the equipment, follow the procedure described in this
document.
Danger
Direction
When the equipment emits smoke
If the equipment emits smoke or gives off an unusual odor, immediately turn off the power, and
disconnect the power plug. Then, contact us. Further use in this condition may cause fire.
Direction
When foreign material enters the equipment
If foreign material (water, dust, etc.) enters the equipment, immediately turn off the power, and
disconnect the power plug. Then, contact us. Further use in this condition may cause fire.
Danger
Direction
Use a container made of conductive material and connect it to ground, if,
during test print or maintenance, print drops are collected in the container.
Print drops are electrically charged in a very small amount. If print drops accumulate, without
connecting the container to ground, the amount of electric charge can become so big to cause
fire.
In normal situations, however, the print substrate moves on the conveyor, hence there is no such
a big amount of accumulation of electric charge to cause fire.
Caution

Precautions for using organic solvents, etc.
Precautions for handling
Be sure to close the lid of any organic solvent containers when it is not in use.
Avoid bringing more than the amounts of organic solvents, etc. needed directly for the day's work into the
workplace.
Always perform the work on the windward side where possible to avoid the inhalation of organic solvent
vapor.
Minimize skin contact with organic solvents, etc.
Effects of organic solvents on the human body (major symptoms)
Headache
Lassitude
Dizziness
Anemia
Liver damage
First aid in case of poisoning
Carry the victim of poisoning to a well-ventilated place, and immediately contact the health supervisor and
other persons in charge of health management.
Make the victim of poisoning lie on his or her back or side while keeping his or her head low, and keep his
or her body warm.
If the victim of poisoning is unconscious, remove foreign objects from his or her mouth.
If the victim of poisoning has stopped breathing, immediately give artificial respiration.
Caution
Direction
It may be impossible to achieve satisfactory printing and adhesion properties depending on the
conditions of print targets (material, electrostatic charge, dew condensation, adhesion of oil, etc.)
and transfer conditions (zigzag motion, transfer speed, etc.). Therefore, perform a printing test
before using the equipment.
Direction
When this product is used in combination with other equipment, it may be impossible to achieve
satisfactory functions and performance depending on the operating conditions, environment, etc.
Therefore, give due consideration before use.
