							Key Points to Successful PrintingCheck the machine status before printing!•
Is the print head OK?
If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check
pattern to check the print head.
Maintenance Procedure
•
Is the inside of the machine smeared with ink?
After printing large quantities of paper or performing borderless printing, the area where papers go through may get smeared with ink. Clean the inside of your machine with 
Bottom Plate Cleaning .
Check how to load the paper correctly!
•
Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?
To load paper in the cassette, load paper WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING DOWN.
Loading Paper

							Be Sure to Check Paper Settings before PrintingBefore printing, make paper settings in the operation panel or the computer screen.
There are various types of paper, such as paper with a special surface coating for printing photos at optimal
quality and paper suitable for documents.
Each media type has specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that
allow you to print to that type with optimal image quality. The wrong paper settings may cause poor printout
color quality or scratches on the printed surface.
If you notice blurring or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.342 
						

							Be Sure to Set Cassette Paper Information after Loading PaperWhen you insert a cassette into the machine after loading paper, the screen for setting the type and size of
paper is displayed. Set the cassette paper information according to the type and size of loaded paper.
To prevent incorrect printing, this machine has a function that detects whether the information set for the
paper loaded in the cassette matches the paper settings. Before printing, make paper settings in accordance with the cassette paper information. When this function is enabled, an error message is
displayed if these settings do not match to prevent incorrect printing. When this error message is displayed,
check and correct the paper settings.
To check cassette paper information, display the paper information screen on the operation panel.343 
						

							Canceling a Print JobNever press the ON button!
If you press the  ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in
the machine and you may not be able to continue to print.
Press the  Stop button to cancel printing.344 
						

							Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing QualityThe key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging.Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.
Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!If you press the  ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically
to prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before the  POWER lamp is
turned off, the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
When 
unplugging the power cord , make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit.
Print periodically! Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is
capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long time.
We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.
Note
•
Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or
paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.

							Precautions for Safe Transport of the MachineWhen relocating the machine, make sure of the following.
Important
•
Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficientprotective material to ensure safe transport.
•
With the print head and ink tank left installed in the machine, press the  ON button to turn off the power.
This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
•
After packing, do not tilt the box containing the machine or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so
may cause the ink to leak during transport and cause damage to the machine.
•
When a shipping agent is handling transport of the machine, have its box marked "THIS SIDE UP" to
keep the machine with its bottom facing down. Mark also with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".
1.
Turn the machine off.
2.
Confirm that the  POWER lamp is off and unplug the power cord .
Important
•
Do not unplug the machine while the  POWER lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction
or damage to the machine, making the machine unable to print.
3.
Retract the paper output support, then close the paper output tray.
4.
Retract the output tray extension and the paper support, then close the front cover.
5.
Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the machine, then unplug the power
cord from the machine.
6.
Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the machine to keep them from opening
during transportation. Then pack the machine in the plastic bag.
