INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots and holes are provided on the front, rear and both sides of this unit. Place the unit on a hard and level surface
and keep a space between the unit and the walls to ensure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a
space between the unit and the front, back and sides of the rack.
SUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulde and acidic ions are likely to be generated.
AVOID PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST
Do not place the unit at a high humidity and dusty locations. They can cause extensive damage to this unit. Avoid places where
the unit is likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapors.
AVOID PLACES LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT
Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PLACES THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in an unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed. If
dew is formed, printing is not possible.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating ambient temperature range is 5°C - 40°C (41°F - 104°F) and the humidity of 30% - 80% RH. When using the unit
on the system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
Depending on the internal temperature, it may take some time to start printing.
DO NOT STACK THE PRINTERS
Doing so may cause a printing failure due to vibrations transferred to the printers. When the printers are stacked, you cannot
install or remove the ink cassette.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER
Coat aking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or any other solvent, if
rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit is sprayed with insecticide.
CARE OF THE CABINET
Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely before
operating. Never use petroleum base solutions or abrasive cleaners.
HEAD ABRASION
The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out ne details of the picture. In
such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer for replacing the head.
CONNECTING DEVICES
Read thoroughly “Operating Precautions” of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the Digital Color Printer. The
power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.
CAUTION ON RELOCATING

OTHER CAUTIONS
• Do not pull out nor touch the print paper until printing is completed. It may degrade the print quality or cause an error.
• Dust or other foreign matter adhering to the print paper or the ink cassette, or deformation resulting from exposure to
extremely low or high temperatures could cause loss of color, uneven color or lines, or wrinkles in the print images.
• Depending on the internal temperature, the printer may stop printing temporarily during printing. (The POWER indicator
blinks green.) Please wait for the printer to resume printing.
Do not touch the print paper.
• Each time printing is completed, remove the prints. If the prints are not removed, a paper jam may occur.
• Empty the paper strip bin frequently to prevent jamming the strips at the print outlet.
