Caution
Use dedicated ink
• Use dedicated ink Understand that if it is damaged due to use of non-dedicated ink, the repair is a burden to the customer.
• When the ink other than dedicated ink is used, the protective device does not work.
• The dedicated ink must not be used for other printers. The printer will be broken.
• Do not refill the tank with the ink except the ink specified by us. Please understand we cannot take responsibility to all about
the trouble caused by using refilled ink.
Ink tank
• Store the ink tank at 1 m and lower place. If you store it at 1 m and higher place, in case of ink tank falls, the cap may come
off and the ink may scatter.
• After moving the ink tank from a cold place to a warm place, leave it for 3 hours and more under the room temperature.
• Open the ink tank just before installation. If the ink tank is left for a long time after opening it, it may not print normally.
• Use up the ink tank within 3 months after opening it. After an extended period with opening it, the ink quality deteriorates.
• Store the ink tank in a cool dark place.
• Please use the dedicated ink tank for this machine. This machine recognizes the dedicated ink tank and operates. In case
of the failure by remodeling ink tank etc., even within the warranty period, it will not be covered by the warranty.
• Do not touch the PCB contact portion of the ink IC chip with hands or contaminate it. It may cause damage to the PCBs.

tank.
• The ink that can be replenished is limited to the ink that has undergone "Maintenance" on page 12 on a regular basis.
• If maintenance is not performed properly, the color of the printed result may change due to the precipitation of ink
components.
• Cover the tank and shake it before adding.
• If ink leaks during replenishment, the floor may become dirty.
• Please be careful not to spill.
• If necessary, perform "About ink level correction" on
page 11.

• The remaining ink level is corrected.
• Use the scale on the front of the tank as a guide for correcting the
correction value.
• There is no limit on the number of times and the number of
corrections for the ink level correction, but if the ink IC's ink
tank usage greatly exceeds the capacity, it will become
[Excess Ink Usage] and the ink IC will become unusable.
• Replace the ink IC chip if [Excess Ink Usage] occurs.
