1-1. Cautions in maintenance
CAUTION
• To prevent the ink from getting into your eyes, be sure to wear safety goggles and
gloves when cleaning the print head or replacing the S pump assembly or if the
ink is anticipated to scatter. If the ink sticks to your hand, the skin may be damaged.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacture.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer
'
s instructions.
• Do not get ink drops on the FPC or connectors when connecting or disconnecting
the damper. Doing so may cause short-circuit or inferior contact resulting in abnormal
ink discharge.
Be careful when handling ink.
• Properly and carefully connect the FPC cable of the slider PCB from the main PCB
according to the connector number. Failure to do so may cause short-circuit of the
power supply.
• Do not turn the power off during firmware upgrading. Doing so may disable restarting.
Following cautions have to be taken when conducting maintenance works.
•Be sure to fully understand precautions given in “For safe operation” in the Instruction Manual for the
JV3 series.
• Be sure to accurately grasp problems since miss operation can be the cause of the problem.
•Be sure to secure a sufficient space for maintenance.
• Be sure to turn off the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle.
• In the case where it is necessary to conduct test with the electrical box cover opened, caution should be
taken to avoid electric shock hazards in the electrical box.
• In the case where it is necessary to conduct maintenance works with the power on, carefully observe the
movement of the head. (Keep any part of your body away from the moving parts.)
• Shift the paper (in the X-direction) and the head (in the Y-direction) using the jog keys. If it is necessary
to shift the paper and the head by hand with the power turned off, exercise care to shift them slowly.
• Do not tilt the plotter with the ink cartridges filled with ink. Doing so can give rise to leakage of ink.
(In particular, do not position the plotter in such a way, when ascending/descending the stairs, that the
maintenance station is lower than the ink station.)
In principle, the following procedure should be taken in prior to the transportation.
1) Discharge ink from the tube in accordance with the description given under “Discharge cleaning” in
the maintenance.
2) Detach the waste ink tank.
3) Fix the head with the head stopper.
• If the main unit is removed from the legs and placed directly on the floor, be careful of the following points.
• Unplug the take-up unit power cord.
• Remove the waste ink tank. (Plug the tube up with a cloth to prevent ink from spilling over.)
• Double Pole / Neutral Fusing.
