1.2.5. Cautions on Operating Time When Unit Is in Service 
 
(1)  Cautions when the unit is repeatedly stopped immediately after the start of 
operation 
If you repeatedly stop the unit immediately after the start of operation, automatic nozzle cleaning at 
shutdown will cause the ink in the unit to gradually become thinner. For stable operation of the unit, operate 
it for a given amount of time or more once it is started (= in the ink ejection state). During the operation, the 
ink viscosity is adjusted automatically and returns to the initial value. The required operation time varies 
depending on the ambient temperature or ink types used. See the handling guidance of each ink for details. 
 
(2)  Cautions when daily operating time is relatively long 
This unit emits ink during printing, so the outside and inside of the print head cover will become dirty with 
accumulated ink spillage during operation. To prevent printing defects due to this ink accumulation, 
periodically check the head cover and clean it where necessary.
