Using Your Printer
Follow these guidelines as you use your printer:
• Operate the printer only within the specified operating temperature and humidity range for your
product and your media.
• Check to make sure you maintain the specified humidity range, especially in dry areas or air
conditioned environments.
• Keep the printer out of direct sunlight.
• Do not install the printer next to heat sources or directly in the path of exhaust from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print head nozzles drying out and
clogging.
• Make sure the product work space is kept free of dust or lint that could damage your product or clog
the print head nozzles.
• Use the product in a sufficiently ventilated area.
• Perform maintenance operations according to usage frequency or at the recommended intervals.
Failure to perform regular maintenance could reduce print quality or damage the print head.
• Do not bend or pull the waste ink tube. Otherwise ink may leak inside or outside the printer.
• Be sure that the waste ink bottle is installed whenever the printer is turned on.
• If an error occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error, the print head may not be
in the home position, which may cause the print head to dry out. In this case, turn on the power and
wait until the carriage is in the home position.
• When the printer is on, do not disconnect the power cable or cut the power at the circuit breaker. The
print head may not be in the home position. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until the
print head is in the home position.
Note: To keep the print head in the optimum operating condition, ink is used in maintenance operations
such as head cleaning in addition to printing.
