Do not provide power to the printer through the same power line as for noisegenerating devices, such as a motor. 3. Use the voltage specified on the nameplates of printer and option. 4. Connect one power cable to an electrical outlet. Do not plug several devices into one electrical outlet. Printer 1. Do not place anything on top of the printer. Do not rest your elbows on the printer.
Consumables 1. Always use the recommended consumables (media, ink, etc.). Failure to do this may cause poor print quality or printer damage that may invalidate your warranty. 2. Do not use ink past the date of expiration as this may cause a breakdown. 3. Put a used ink cartridge into a plastic bag and dispose of it as hazardous waste. Observe local regulations for disposal of Waste ink bottles. 4. The level in the Waste ink bottle must be periodically checked by visual inspection to prevent overflow. 5.

How to use the take-up reel unit Install the media on the take-up reel unit 1 Prepare the paper tube and waste paper (about 1 m) of which width is identical to that of media to be used. And paste the waste to the paper tube. About 1m Waste paper Paper tube Note - If the media is not straight against the paper tube, it will cause skew. - The width of paper tube for winding in the take-up reel unit should be the same as that of roll media for printing. If the wider one is used, take-up shift may occur.
3 Insert the paper tube on which the waste paper is affixed in the right side flange (fixed side). 2 Basic Operation Paper tube Right side Note - It is not normally necessary to move the position of the right side flange, it is used as the fixed position. However, when aligning with the roller media installation position to the printer, adjust the position of right side flange. Paper tube 4 Sliding the left side flange (movable side), insert it in the paper tube.
6 Return the Tension bar to the bottom position from the top position. Note - Whether using loose winding or tension winding modes, use the Tension bar in the bottom position during take-up operation. 7 Bottom position of Tension bar Raise the pressure roller up / down lever and install the roll media for printing to the printer. For media installation procedure, refer to P.2-7 [Media replacement].

When take-up is not used, set the take-up (winding) switch to [OFF]. Set the switch to the proper mode based of the figure below. Take-up switch Outer take-up Inner take-up Basic Operation Winding OFF 2 Note - When the take-up roll approaches the flange diameter, remove the take-up roll and replace it with a new core.
Using a 2 inch core In this equipment, by removing the 3 inch adapter, the 2 inch paper tube can be used. To remove the 3 inch adapter, the supplied attachment is needed. The removal procedure of 3 inch adapter is explained below. 1 Insert the attachment in the hole in the center of 3 inch adapter. 2 Turn counterclockwise ( in the arrow direction) the 3 inch adapter and pull it out together with the attachment.
How to use the blower unit The blower unit is installed to the paper exit side of the printer and is used to effectively dry the printed media (ink) processed by the printer. 2 Basic Operation Set the blower unit to the printer 1 Printer stand Place the blower unit in front of the printer. (1) Install the blower unit stand to the outside of the printer stand. Blower unit stand Printer stand (2) Push the blower unit until the bar touches the printer stand.
Note - It takes time for the ink to dry completely. Processing immediately after printing (laminating, etc.) is not recommended. - The ink may not dry completely on some media. In this case, set the paper scanning wait time ( P.3-25) from the operation panel of the printer. Handling the media Shift the blower unit to prevent any interference before installing the media to the printer ( P.2-7), installing the media on the take-up reel unit ( P.2-16) and cutting the media ( P.2-28).
How to use the media edge guards Use the media edge guards protect the Print heads from curl of the sides of the media. Slide the raised (inside) edge of the guards over the edge of the media. When pushing this portion, it makes easier to set. 2 Basic Operation Media Media edge guard Note - Set “use / not-use” of media edge guard in the MEDIA REG MENU. The widths of right and left margins of media change. ( P.3-28 [(8) EDGE GUARD]) - Clean the media edge guards when ink accumulates on them.
How to switch the pressure Switch over the pressure between the media feeding pressure roller and the grit wheel when using different medias. The bottom position is normally used. When skew occurs in the media and the media cannot be fed or when the media with weak elasticity such as a thin cloth, switch to [weak] the center position. The pressure force is switched by the position of the pressure roller up / down lever. (See figure below.) [Rear] (top) When loading the media, raise the lever.
How to use the lifter Unless the media is under the entire pressure roller, wrinkles and skews may occur. In such case, pull toward you the lifter at the upper side of pressure roller to release the pressure force of pressure roller. 2 Note - Wrinkles may be eliminated in all medias. Basic Operation Lifter Pressure roller Example of when it is not necessary to pull the lifter toward you (The pressure of pressure roller is needed.
Cut the media This section describes the procedure to cut the media manually. - Shift the blower unit to prevent any interference with the operation. 1 Clip both ends of media with the media clip. 2 Move the Media cutter blade and cut the media. - The arrow mark (g) is imprinted on the Media cutter blade. The Media cutter blade can only cut in the direction of the media in the arrow mark (g). If the arrow mark (g) is not oriented in the cutting direction, change the orientation in the procedure below.
