- Avoid direct sun light and water regardless of before and after opening the package. Put paper in envelope to prevent dust and store paper in a dry, cool and dark place. - Avoid rapid change of temperature and humidity and store pa- per with no condensing. - Do not store paper in standing condition to prevent disorder of paper roll and damage of paper edge. - Do not pile up paper rolls. Precautions for disposing paper - Dispose paper in rule matched to the actual situation. If there is a limitation for disposal in regulations, follow to that regulations. Precautions for use - Avoid change of temperature and humidity after opening pack- age. Set paper after leaving paper in the operation environment for 3hours or more. Use care for change of humidity due to ON/ OFF of the air conditioner. - In paper characteristics, curl of paper in low humidity and wrinkle of paper in high humidity are easy to be generated. Use paper in normal temperature and humidity environment (around 23 °C and 50%RH). - Do not use scratched, wrinkled, curled, or stained with dust pa- per. Especially, paper edge (both edge of paper) effects to paper feed- ing. Also, do not drop or wet the paper. If doing so, it may give bad effect to print quality and causes malfunction. - Hold margins of the paper not to touch the print surface. Adhesion of sebaceous matter or sweat may cause bad effect to print quality. - Amend mis-roll of the paper before setting.

Precautions for handling prints. - Do not touch the print surface before drying up the ink. Hold margins of the paper for handling. Especially use care before 24hours after printing. - Rubbing print surface causes color fading or color transfer. Do not pile print surface to prevent color transfer. - Do not pile with copy prints or laser prints to prevent sticking due to ink or toner. - Do not rub, scratch, or hold the paper to prevent pealing. - Do not rub or leave the paper in wet condition to prevent blur- ring. Other precautions - Cloth and Vinyl (with glue) can not be cut with a built-in cutter. - Paper causes color fading and a change in quality in getting old. Check paper condition and use good conditioned paper. - Joints of thread of the cloth may look white. - When using Backlit Film, put the print surface as the face and give light from the back (film surface). - When using Vinyl (with glue), adhesive matter (glue) may be sticked to the platen. In that case, wipe up the adhesive matter referring to "Section 2, Daily Care". Sticking of adhesive matter may cause paper jamming. - There is a case that an error is generated due to missing of paper drop from the printer. Remove the print after cutting to prevent such an error or set a paper again after the error. - We recommend PET and Vinyl for coating the print. PP (Polypropylene) coating may cause a trouble. Check effectiveness before coating. - Paper dust due to cutting may cause float of coating.

Ink cartridges must be installed in all six slots. The positions of ink cartridges are specified by color. (See the figure below.) NOTE - Failure to use the recommended ink cartridge may lead to a deterioration of the print quality or a printer malfunction. - The valid period of the ink is 18 months after the manufac- ture date. - Do not shake ink cartridges before use. - All six color cartridges must be installed. If any of the cartridges is removed, a new one must be in- stalled.
