items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers
holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result
from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might
occur.

• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
Handling power cords and power cord plugs
• Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown in this
manual. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could
result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords
that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could
result in fire or electric shock.
• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric
shock.
• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and
electric shock hazard.
• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances.
Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service
representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.

• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the
following:
• There are burn marks on the plug.
• The prongs on the plug are deformed.
• If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the plug and consult your dealer or service
representative. Use of the plug could result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the
following:
• The power cord's inner wires are exposed, broken, etc.
• The power cord's coating has a crack or dent.
• When bending the power cord, the power turns off and on.
• Part of the power cord becomes hot.
• The power cord is damaged.
• If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the power cord and consult your dealer or
service representative. Use of the power cord could result in fire or electric shock.
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord.
Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire
or electric shock.
• Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted plugs
create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe buildup of heat.
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around
the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
• If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power
cord from the wall outlet.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
• Rating voltage of the connector for option: Max. DC 37 V.

1. Vent
• Warm air from the vent is normal and not a cause for concern.
• Do not leave the top or right front cover open. If you do, dust or other matter might get inside the
machine, and this will reduce print quality.
• During printing, do not move the machine or open its covers.
Notice
13

• Do not open the top or right front cover during printing. If you do, printing will stop.
• Do not hit the machine while it is printing. If you do, printing will stop.
• Do not touch the ink tubes or toothed rubber belt. Also, take care not to catch cables or ink tubes
with your sleeves.

2. Ink tubes
• Take care not to drop foreign objects inside the machine.
• After you install the ink cartridge and turn the machine on for the first time, the print head priming
process will begin. This process sometimes clogs the print head. If this happens, perform the head
cleaning procedure.
• During printing, do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• During printing, do not subject the machine to external shock.
• When not using the machine, turn off the power.
•You can place up to 10 kg (22.1 lb.) of evenly spread weight on the machine. Do not place any
concentrated weight of more than 2.5 kg (5.6 lb.) on the machine.
• Do not place unsteady objects on the machine. If they fall, they will cause injury to users and/or
damage to the machine.
• Depending on your printing document, the ink collector unit may fill up sooner than normal.
"Prepare new Ink Collector Unit" message appears shortly before the ink collector unit is full.
Although the machine remains usable until the unit is completely full, contact your sales or service
representative as early as possible (charge incurred).
• Ink cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being
removed from their packaging.
• Cartridges that are no longer usable for printing reserve a small quantity of ink for maintenance
usage.
• Ink cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety
and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
2. Safety Information for This Machine

• Printing hundreds of copies in a single day might cause the print head to clog the following day. If
this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure.
• This machine performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure
consistent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of
disuse.
• Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It
may also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain machine
performance.
• If the machine will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Because the machine consumes a lot of ink for
maintenance and print head cleaning when turned on after a long period of inactivity, we
recommend you use the machine at least once a month.
• Do not move the machine while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the machine is on a
level surface and safe from shock and vibration.
• Do not turn the machine off while it is busy. Make sure the machine is idle before turning it off.
• Condensation can form inside the machine if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Allow
any condensation to fully evaporate by not turning the machine on for at least an hour after moving
it.

Notes for Using This Machine Safely
To use this machine, it is recommended you take the following measures, which include:
• Installing this machine in a network protected by a firewall.
• Specifying your private IP address.
• Changing the password for the machine administrator.
• Changing the machine administrator's password can prevent the machine from being tampered by
unauthorized access from the Internet.
Using a Private IP Address
An IP address is a numerical label assigned to devices connected to the network. An IP address that
is used for Internet connection is a "global IP address", and an IP address that is used for network
connection in a local environment such as a company is a "private IP address". If an IP address that
is specified for a machine is a global IP address, unspecified numbers of Internet users can access
this machine, so that there is higher risks of information leakage through illegal access outside from
the environment where this machine is located. If a private IP address is specified for a machine,
however, only users within a local network such as a company LAN can access the machine.
Unless there is any specific reason, specify a private IP address for a machine. An private IP
address can be selected from the following address ranges:
Private IP address ranges
• 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
•192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
