After initial filling of ink has been repeated several times, immediate moving or tilting of the printer could result in leaking of ink that has not been completely absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad. When initial filling of ink has been repeated several times, check the ink remaining in the tip of the Waste Ink Tube and the waste ink not absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad before moving the printer.

† The power supply voltage must be within the specification limits. (Measure the

voltage at the wall socket.)

† The power code must be free from damage, short circuit or breakage, or miswiring

in the power code.

† The printer must be grounded properly.

† The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to too high or

low temperature, too high or low humidity, or abrupt temperature change.
