WARNING
Handling roll media is an operation that
must be performed by two persons or
more, and care must be taken to prevent
falls.
Attempting to lift heavy media in a manner
that taxes your strength may cause physical
injury.
When storing roll media, implement ad-
equate safety measures to ensure that the
stored media will not roll, fall, or topple
over.
Danger exists of becoming pinned under the
media and suffering serious injury.
WARNING
If the printer’s usable media weight is less
than 30 kilograms (66 lb.), media weighing
more than this cannot be used.
Media weighs 30 kg (66 lb.)

To Ensure Safe Use

Incorrect operation may cause injury.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the operation procedures
described in this documentation. Never
allow anyone unfamiliar with the usage or
handling of the machine to touch it.
Incorrect usage or handling may lead to an
accident.
Keep children away from the machine.
The machine includes areas and components
that pose a hazard to children and may result
in injury, blindness, choking, or other serious
accident.
Never operate the machine while tired or
after ingesting alcohol or any medication.
Operation requires unimpaired judgment. Im-
paired judgment may result in an accident.
Never use the machine for any purpose
for which it is not intended, or use the
machine in an undue manner that exceeds
its capacity.
Doing so may result in injury or re.
For accessories (optional and consumable
items, AC adapter, power cord, and the
like), use only genuine articles compatible
with this machine.
Incompatible items may lead to an accident.
Before attempting cleaning, maintenance,
or attachment or detachment of optional
items, disconnect the power cord.
Attempting such operations while the machine
is connected to a power source may result in
injury or electrical shock.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or
modify the machine.
Doing so may result in re, electrical shock,
or injury. Entrust repairs to a trained service
technician.
CAUTION
Exercise caution to avoid being pinched or
becoming caught.
Inadvertent contact with certain areas may
cause the hand or ngers to be pinched or
become caught. Use care when performing
operations.
Never attempt operation while wearing a
necktie, necklace, or loose clothing. Bind
long hair securely.
Such items may become caught in the ma-
chine, resulting in injury.
Conduct operations in a clean, brightly lit
location.
Working in a location that is dark or cluttered
may lead to an accident, such as becoming
caught in the machine as the result of an in-
advertent stumble.
Never climb or lean on the machine.
The machine is not made to support a per-
son. Climbing or leaning on the machine may
dislodge components and cause a slip or fall,
resulting in injury.

To Ensure Safe Use

Danger of electrical short, shock, electrocution, or re
WARNING
Connect to an electrical outlet that com-
plies with this machine's ratings (for volt-
age, frequency, and current).
Incorrect voltage or insufcient current may
cause re or electrical shock.
Never use out of doors or in any location
where exposure to water or high humidity
may occur. Never touch with wet hands.
Doing so may result in fire or electrical
shock.
Never allow any foreign object to get inside.
Never expose to liquid spills.
Inserting objects such as coins or matches
or allowing beverages to be spilled into the
ventilation ports may result in re or electrical
shock. If anything gets inside, immediately
disconnect the power cord and contact your
authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
Never place any ammable object nearby.
Never use a combustible aerosol spray
nearby. Never use in any location where
gases can accumulate.
Combustion or explosion may be a danger.
WARNING
When the machine will be out of use
for a prolonged period, disconnect the
power cord.
This can prevent accidents in the event of
current leakage or unintended startup.
Handle the power cord, plug, and electrical
outlet correctly and with care. Never use
any article that is damaged.
Using a damaged article may result in re or
electrical shock.
When using an extension cord or power
strip, use one that adequately satises the
machine's ratings (for voltage, frequency,
and current).
Use of multiple electrical loads on a single
electrical outlet or of a lengthy extension cord
may cause re.
Position so that the power plug is within
immediate reach at all times.
This is to enable quick disconnection of the
power plug in the event of an emergency.
Install the machine next to an electrical outlet.
Also, provide enough empty space to allow
immediate access to the electrical outlet.
If sparking, smoke, burning odor, unusu-
al sound, or abnormal operation occurs,
immediately unplug the power cord.
Never use if any component is damaged.
Continuing to use the machine may result in
re, electrical shock, or injury. Contact your
authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
Do not use the supplied power supply
cord for other products.
