Printer
• This machine is a precision device.
• Never subject the machine to impacts or excessive force.
• Never needlessly put your hand or fingers inside the cover, the ink-pouch ports, or other internal
areas of the machine.
• Install the machine in a suitable location.
• Install the machine in a location having the specified temperature and relative humidity.
• Install the machine in a quiet, stable location offering good operating conditions.
• The print heads are delicate.
• Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape them.
• The print heads may be damaged if allowed to dry out. The machine prevents desiccation auto-
matically, but improper operation may render this feature inoperative. Operate properly, as speci-
fied in this manual.
• Never leave the machine with an ink pouch removed. Remaining ink in the printer may harden and
clog the print heads.
• Depending on the situation, the print heads require various types of cleaning. Read this manual
thoroughly and perform the appropriate maintenance at the appropriate times.
• The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the fre-
quency of replacement depending on use.
• This machine becomes hot.
• Never cover the ventilation holes with cloth, tape, or anything else.
Ink Pouches
• Ink pouches come in various types.
• Use a type that is compatible with the printer.
• Never subject the ink pouches to impacts or attempt to disassemble them.
• Never drop the ink pouches or shake them forcefully. The impact may rupture the internal pouches
and cause the ink to leak.
• Never attempt to disassemble.
• Never attempt to refill the ink.
• If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash it off as soon as possible. Removal may become difficult
if allowed to stand.
• Storage
• Store the ink pouches unopened in a well-ventilated location at a temperature of −5 to 40°C (23 to
104°F). However, do not store the ink cartridges for a prolonged period of time in low or high tem-
perature environments.
