Operation
All users operating the printer must be aware of the following hazards associated with ink jet printers.
The following safety information should be made available to all personnel and is applicable to anybody
in the printer’s operating environment. Only fully trained and competent personnel should operate or
maintain EC-JET printers. If you are in any doubt as to your ability to operate or maintain the printer,

1. DO NOT smoke or use naked flames in the vicinity of the printer. The printer contains
flammable inks and solvents.
2. ALWAYS ensure that the printer electrical supply is isolated prior to performing cleaning
or maintenance activities. Lethal voltages are present in the printer cabinet and printhead
when mains power is applied which can cause death or serious injury if the correct
electrical procedures are not observed. When a mains operated external alarm is
connected to the external alarm socket, this must be disconnected before any maintenance
activities are carried out. Never attempt to remove the printer cover. The printer cover
must only be removed by qualified EC-JET service engineers.
3. ALWAYS check that all covers are correctly fitted to the printer before you use it. If you
are not sure, ask your supervisor for guidance. Covers act as safety barriers and also
ensure the printer retains its electromagnetic compatibility.
