● Since long-term shutdown requires special work, it is recommended to contact your nearest 
local distributor and ask for the work. In the unlikely event that you do this operation yourself, 
be sure to sufficiently understand the warnings and notes in the procedure. Even when you do 
this yourself, contact your nearest local distributor. 
● Depending on the type, storage temperature, and storage period of ink, remaining ink 
components may become stuck in the circulation system even if the process is performed prior 
to long-term shutdown. To perform the process after long-term shutdown, contact your nearest 
local distributor as much as possible. 
● In particular, if the storage temperature is high (30  °C or higher), or if the storage period 
exceeds six months, contact your nearest local distributor. 
● Follow the procedure described in "5.15.2. Process after Long-term Shutdown" to perform the 
process after long-term shutdown for safe operation. 
● Even if the unit is left unused for a long period of time without the process performed prior to 
long-term shutdown, follow the procedure described in "5.15.2. Process after Long-term 
Shutdown" before the process. During the operation described in "5.15.2. Process after Long-
term Shutdown", continuing the operation without confirming that the unit works properly will 
increase the pressure in the circulating system, causing the danger of ink strongly ejected from 
the nozzle or gutter. If you cannot confirm that the unit works properly, abort the operation and 
contact your nearest local distributor.
