Safety Precautions

Choosing a location

  • Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface.
  • Do not install the printer in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or close to a heating source.
    To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, use the printer under the operating environment specified in the Specifications.
  • Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet.
  • Do not place the printer with its back attached to the wall.
  • We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.
  • Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that generates such fields or places where such fields occur.

Power Supply

  • Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary.
  • Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
    Pulling the cord may damage the power cord, leading to possible fire or electrical shock.
  • Do not use an extension lead/cord.

Working Around the Printer

  • Never put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing.
  • Firmly grasp the carrying grips on each side in the base. Holding the printer at other positions is dangerous and cause injury and damage if the printer is dropped.
  • When lifting the printer, use four people to carry each side. The weight may cause pain such as back pain.
  • When using and transferring the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. There is a risk of the ink spilling.
  • When transferring the printer tilted, always perform the steps in "Preparing to Transfer the Printer" in order to protect the internal structure.
  • Do not place any object on the printer. Especially do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples, etc.) or containers of flammable solvents (alcohol, thinners, etc.) on top of the printer.

Print Heads/Ink Tanks/Maintenance Cartridges

  • Keep ink tanks out of the reach of children. In case ink is accidentally licked or swallowed, rinse out mouth or give one or two glasses of water to drink. If irritation or discomfort occurs, obtain medical advice immediately.
  • In case ink gets in contact with eyes, rinse with water immediately. In case ink gets in contact with skin, wash with soap and water immediately. If irritation to eyes or skin persists, obtain medical advice immediately.
  • Never touch the electrical contacts on a print head after printing.
    The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns.
  • Do not throw ink tanks and maintenance cartridges into fire.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the print head, ink tanks, and maintenance cartridges.
  • Avoid dropping or shaking print head, ink tanks, and maintenance cartridges.
