Be careful not to get your hairs, clothing, accessories or any other objects caught in the moving parts of the

printer.

The moving parts of the printer include the carriage unit, carriage belt, ink tube, flexible cable and feed motor

driven by the carriage motor and the feed and pinch rollers driven by the feed motor and the purge unit driven

by the purge motor.

To assure safety, the printer locks the top cover from opening while it is printing. When the top cover is opened

while the printer is in online or offline mode, the driving power to the carriage and feed motors is shut down.
