SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
● Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device around the
printer.
The ink and makeup are both flammable and may cause fire.
Fire can be generated by matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas
burners, welders, grinders and static electricity. Arcs may be generated from
open-type relays, switches, and brush motors. Before handling the ink and
makeup, remove static electricity from your body, peripheral equipment, and so
on. In the interest of safety, position a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the
printer.
● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, install the printer at
an adequately ventilated location.
1
Never install the printer in an enclosed space.
2
Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to prevent it from filling
with organic solvent vapor.
● Do not insert tweezers, a screwdriver, or any other metal article into the
ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.
When the printer is ready to print, a high voltage (approximately 6 kV) is applied
to the deflection electrode section in the print head.
Exercise caution to avoid electric shock, injury, and fire.
● Do not remove the outer covering.
A high voltage is applied to some sections of the printer.
Exercise caution to avoid electric shock and injury.
● Use an AC voltage of 100 to120 V or 200 to 240 V ±10% only and a
power frequency of 50 or 60 Hz only.
If the above requirements are not met, the electric parts may overheat and burn,
creating a risk of fire or electric shock.
● Never drain the ink or makeup waste solution into a public sewer system.
Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations. Consult the
appropriate regulatory agency for further information.
● Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly pulling, or
bending piping tubes.
Since the ink and makeup in some portions of piping tubes are pressurized,
they may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing.
If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or
cold water and consult a physician.
