Safety Precautions
Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any
operations or procedures other than as described in this manual. Doing so may result in
unexpected accidents and can cause a fire or electrical shocks.
█Printer location
•Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, thinner, or other volatile liquids.
If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there
is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
█Power Supply
•Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause electrical shock.
•Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power source. If the power cable is not
inserted completely, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use any power cable other than the one provided. This could cause a fire or electrical
shock. Never use the power cable with any other electrical device.
•Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and never stretch it or bend it forcefully.
Never place a heavy object on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power cable could
cause a short circuit and may cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any power source shared by other electrical
devices. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry cloth to wipe away dust that has
collected on the plug and the area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable plugged in
and not cleaned for a long period, especially in an area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could
cause the insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.
█In an Emergency
•If the printer emits smoke or strange odors, continuing to use the printer may cause a fire or
electrical shock. Switch the printer off immediately and remove the power plug from the power
outlet. Contact the nearest service center.

Safety Precautions
█Cleaning the Printer
•Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. If such materials
come into contact with any electrical component inside the printer, a fire or electric shock
may occur.
█Pacemakers
•This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone wearing a pacemaker who
experiences discomfort while working around the printer should leave the area. Consult a
physician before continuing to work around the printer.
█Printer location
•Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface. If it falls over, this could cause
personal injury.
•Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust,
or exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or
electrical shock. Use the printer location in an environment where temperature and humidity
are within the ranges of 5 Degrees C to 35 Degrees C (41 Degrees F to 95 Degrees F) and 10
to 90% RH (with no condensation).
•Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet. The fibers may enter the printer
and cause a fire.
•Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that you can disconnect the power
cable immediately if the printer starts operating abnormally. n the event of a printer malfunction,
remove the power cable from the outlet as soon as possible to prevent fire and electrical shocks.
•Never install the printer near large office equipment or any other type of electrical device that
emits a strong magnetic field. Never install the printer near large office equipment or any other
type of electrical device that emits a strong magnetic field.
█Moving the Printer
•The weights of main printer units are as follows:
•39 Kg
Moving the printer requires at least two people, one person on each side of the unit. Be careful
to avoid back strain and other injuries.
•When moving the printer, firmly grasp the Carrying handles located on the bottom surface
at both sides. Holding the printer at other positions is dangerous and poses a risk of injury
and damage if the printer is dropped

Safety Precautions
█Power Supply
•Always grip the plug to remove the power cable from the power outlet. Pulling on the power
cable could damage the cable and lead to a fire or electrical shock.
•Never use an extension cord. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Never use any power source other than 100–240 V. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
The printer operating conditions are described below. Use the printer under the following
conditions.
Power supply voltage: 100–240 V

ingests ink accidentally, seek medical assistance immediately.
•Avoid dropping or shaking Printheads,in
k tanks, and maintenance cartridges. Spilled ink can
stain clothing and the work area.
•Never touch the electrical contacts ofthePrinthead after printing. The contacts become
extremely hot and can cause minor burns.
█Other
•Never disassemble the printer or attempt repairs. There are high voltage parts inside the
printer that can cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Never use flammable sprays around the printer. The gas of flammable sprays can cause a fire
or electrical shock, if it contacts high voltage points inside the printer.
•Never insert your hand into the printer while it is printing. Moving parts inside the printer can
cause injuries.
•Never place anything on the printer such as small metal objects (paper clips, staples), liquids,
any type of liquid container that contains flammable liquids (alcohol, benzene, etc.). If such
objects fall into the printer, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.
