INSTRUCTIONS

Indicates required operations.
Caution
When performing an installation or an operation of the printer, be sure to follow the directions
and warnings mentioned in this book.
Managing VOCs
Using Mutoh printers with Eco-Ultra Solvent inks, volatile organic compounds will be released. (VOCs)
In order to protect human health and the environment, VOCs must be managed. This means VOCS need to
be controlled and complying with all local, state and federal environmental, occupational health, and safety
regulations on VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace is needed.
The amount of released VOCs depends on multiple factors: room volume, unforced ventilation, print mode,
number of printers in the room, heaters settings, kind of media, use of extra dryers, print production
Because of differences in local regulations and working conditions, its recommended to consult a local
consultancy agency to determine the regulations involved. An acknowledged laboratory can determine the
total amount of released VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace. Consequently they can determine if
forced ventilation for occupational health and air pollution control devices are needed. An engineering firm
could be consulted on the installation of the ventilation system where prints are produced, handled and
stored.
Handling inks / cleaning + waste of inks / cleaning
Caution
Before handling inks/ cleaning and their waste, do carefully read the MSDS-sheet and the
container labels for important health, safety and environmental information.
Only use original manufacturers ink and appropriate cleaning liquid. Before installing the ink cassette,
shake it gently. Doing so will preserve print quality.
When an ink cassette is moved from a cold place to warm place, keep the ink cassette for three hours or
more in the new printing environment before printing.
Inks
± General advice: wear safety glasses and gloves especially when handling the waste ink.
± After spill: remove contaminated clothing.
± After inhalation: if difficulties occur after vapour/aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and
seek medical attention.
± After skin contact: wash thoroughly with soap and water.
± After eye contact: wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water while eyelids held
open.
± After swallowing: rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. Never induce vomiting.
Do not disassemble ink cassettes. Otherwise, ink may get in your eyes or on your skin. Also a
disassembled ink cassette cannot be used.
When refilling ink, use original manufacturers ink cassettes. This printer is designed to use genuine ink
cassettes. If you use ink cassettes which are not produced by the original manufacturer,
± printing might become blurred and the end of the ink in the cassette might not be detected correctly
± Any problems caused by using an ink cassette other than those recommended above will not be
covered by the warranty, and repair expenses will be paid by the customer.
For handling waste : Refer to: section 13 on the MSDS-sheet
