1. Introduction
What's the DU2-64 / DU2-54
This is an auxiliary drying unit that combines a drying-heater unit and a blower-fan unit. It uses the
drying-heater unit to dry the ink by warming the media aer prinng. It also uses the blower-fan
unit to dry the ink by blowing air against the surface of the media.
An electrical outlet separate from that for the printer is required in order to use the drying-heater
unit.
Compatible Models (As of March 2019)
• VG-640/540
• EJ-640
• XF-640
• VG2-640/540
* The printer and the drying-heater unit require separate high-capacity electrical outlets. Make
sure to connect the two power cords to outlets on separate systems. Also, make sure that the
electrical outlets meet the machine's rangs.

WARNING Connect to an electrical outlet that complies with this machine's rangs (for
voltage, frequency, and current).
Incorrect voltage or insucient current may cause re or electrical shock.
WARNING Connect the machine to ground.
This can prevent re or electrical shock due to current leakage in the event of
malfuncon.
WARNING Perform this task with all power switches le switched o.
Failure to observe this instrucon may cause the machine to move suddenly,
