Special caution
There are some special cautions to be followed for using the printer. Observe the following to maintain the printer and your safety.
❏Avoid places subject to a direct wind from a fan or air conditioner. A wind may dry the ink in the head nozzles causing clogging that affects ink jetting, and you will not be able to obtain satisfactory printing results.
❏Do not touch the paper guide during printing. It is hot and may cause a burn.
❏Do not touch the paper feed slot, platen or paper guide while heaters are operating. They are hot and may cause a burn.
❏When not using the printer for a long period (one week or more), perform head cleaning once a week. If head cleaning is not performed, the print head may get clogged. Doing so will preserve print quality.
See “Head cleaning” on page 66
❏Clean the cleaning wiper once a month, or when blurs or gaps appear on printed paper after head cleaning.
See “Cleaning the cleaning wiper” on page 60
❏Clean around the print head when foreign objects, such as dust or ink causing omitted dots or ink drops are attached around the print head.
See “Cleaning around the print head” on page 62
❏Do not touch the steel belt; otherwise, you may be injured.
❏Do not bend or pull the waste ink drain tube. The ink may leak and damage the printer.
❏Handle ink with care. See the following section for the instructions.
