Part 1: Safety and Precautions

3.2 Service Mode of Printer Driver

There are certain printer driver control functions, described below, that are, in principle, hidden from the end user. These service mode functions, which must be used with caution, are provided for service purposes only.

See "Part 3: 3.3.2 Service mode of printer driver" (page 3-18) for details.

3.3 Protecting the Power Supply

The power supply for the BJC-7100 printer consists of an AC adapter and a power supply circuit on the logic board. Provided the AC supply is connected, the printer power supply is live whether or not the power is set ON or OFF using the POWER button.

Always unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet before connecting it to or disconnecting it from the printer. Ignoring this warning can result in damage and failure of the printer power supply.

When moving the carriage by hand when, for example, manually capping the ink nozzles or releasing the carriage lock, do so slowly while paying attention to the operation of the carriage motor; the back electromotive force generated by moving the carriage horizontally may damage the motor control board.

If it is necessary to move the carriage horizontally fairly frequently, such as when replacing or adjusting the carriage, temporarily disconnect the carriage motor connector from the control board.
