● Ensure that no flame- or arc-generating devices are installed around the product.
- Fire: (Examples) Matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas burners, welders,
grinders, static electricity, etc.
- Flammable: (Examples) Ink, makeup
- Arc-generating device: (Examples) Open-type relays, open-type switches, brush motors, etc.
Before handling ink and makeup, remove static electricity from your body, peripheral
equipment, and so on.
In the interest of safety, place a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the product.
● Install the product in an adequately ventilated location.
● Do not install the product in an enclosed space.
● Connect the product to exhaust equipment to prevent it from being filled with organic solvent

must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.
* If ink or makeup contains any organic solvents or specified chemical substances, it must be
managed under the Industrial Safety and Health Act.
(1) Keep the maintenance areas listed below around the IJ Printer for daily operations and handling.
● Open the maintenance cover to keep an area of 750 mm forward the unit for ink and makeup replacement.
● Keep an area of 750 mm backward the unit for I/O area wiring.
● To use the main power switch to turn the power on and off, keep an area of 400 mm on the right side in
front of the unit.
* The above values are for reference only.
(2) Cleaning of the print head with makeup (daily maintenance) is required when the unit is operated or stopped.
Fix the print head, considering removal of the print head cover and pullout of the print head.
(3) Install the IJ Printer, print head, and print head cable, preventing vibration. Vibration not only affects the
print quality but also causes printing disturbance. Even if the acceleration of the vibration is small, when
shaking can be seen visually in the print head, printed characters will undulate in accordance with the
shaking.
(4) Install the IJ Printer with an inclination of ±1° or less.
(5) Electrically isolate the IJ Printer main body, print head, print target detector, and rotary encoder from other
machines (such as a conveyor and packaging machine).
