Tips on use and care
q Working environment
•
Place your printer in a clean, stabilised
environment.
Do not leave your printer exposed to direct
sunlight or heat sources, or in dusty, dirty or
poorly-ventilated environments.
Recommended operating environment
Temperature: 60 to 95
F - 15 to 35 C
Relative Humidity: 20% - 80%.
•
Do not let dust accumulate on your printer and
take care not to spill anything on or in your
printer.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the
casing. Do NOT use corrosive or abrasive
cleaners
q Installation
•
Connect your printer to an independent power
socket.
The printer should be positioned near the
power socket which must be easily
accessible.
•
Do not locate the printer where people will
step on the power cable or let anything rest
on the power cable.
•
Make sure that the plug on the power cable
of the printer is of the type accepted by the
wall socket you intend to use.
Do NOT attempt to change the plug
yourself.
•
Do not use an extension cable or an adapter.
If your printer does not work, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF.
q Print heads
•
Always use manufacturer-recommended
supplies.
•
Remove the print heads from the printer only
to replace them.
•
Always keep the new print heads sealed in
their containers until they are to be used.
•
Remember to remove the protective tape
before inserting the print head in the printer.
•
Do NOT attempt to refill the print head with
ink, as this damages the print head and the
printer.
q Paper
•
Always use manufacturer-recommended
paper and printing media.
For all types of special printing media,
always read the instructions included with
the media pack.
•
The paper/printing media must not be damp,
curled, crumpled or torn, otherwise it may jam
or even not be inserted. Sub-standard paper
can also affect the quality of printing.
•
When loading paper/printing media, make
sure the printing surface of the paper is facing
the correct way.
•
Don’t load paper/printing media over the
“max” indication in the paper tray and make
that it is not held too tightly nor has too much
play.
•
Remember to select the appropriate paper
type and format (see the On-Line Docu-
mentation loaded with your printer driver).
For further information, read the On Line
documentation loaded in your PC when you
installed the printer software.
