tains a tray pad.
Wiper Cleans the print heads during automatic cleaning and in similar
situations.
Blade holder This houses the blade used during cutting.
Media clamp This clamps the edge of the media to keep it from coming
loose. It also prevents fuzz on the cut edge of the media from
touching the print heads.
Pinch roller

Serious Errors Indicated by the Print Light
If an error that may lead to serious damage to the printer occurs, the print light blinks.
This indicates one of the situations shown below.
When the print light blinks, the error also appears on the operation panel's display screen.
Display screen Error overview
[Print Head Dry-out Error] The print heads were about to dry out. The print heads may be
damaged if allowed to dry out.
[Motor Error] An excessive load was applied to the motor. If this error is not
addressed, the print heads may be damaged.
[Low Temperature Error] The ambient temperature in the printer's installation location
has fallen below the temperature in which operation is possible.
If this error is not addressed, the printer may malfunction.
[High Temperature Error] The ambient temperature in the printer's installation location
has risen above the temperature in which operation is possible.
If this error is not addressed, the printer may malfunction.

If a Cover Opens during Operation
If the front cover, left cover, or right cover (hereinafter referred to as "cover") opens during an output op-
eration or while setting up the media, the machine makes an emergency stop. When an emergency stop
occurs, a message prompting you to close the cover appears on the screen. Close the covers as directed in
the instructions shown on the screen.
When the cover is closed, you will be able to continue the operation.
If you cannot continue the operation even after you close the cover, a nonrecoverable error may have oc-
curred.

[Cleaning] [Printing Test] Before printing, use [Nozzle Drop-out Test] to check
whether ink is discharged from the print heads correctly.
If nozzle drop-out is present, perform cleaning appropri-
ate for the severity of the drop-out. If faulty ink dis-
charge cannot be improved, the problematic nozzle can
be identified with [Nozzle Mask Test], making it possible
to stop using this nozzle.
[Normal Cleaning] If dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs, clean the
print heads. If the problem cannot be fixed, perform
more powerful cleaning.
[Medium Cleaning]
[Powerful Cleaning]
[Manual Cleaning] Use cleaning liquid and a cleaning stick to clean the area
