Switching the Power On and Off
This machine has a main power switch and a sub power switch. Switch on both to use the machine.
Whenever printing is finished, switch off the sub power. You also flip down the loading lever to the rear of the machine.
Leave the main power switch 
 on at all times, never switching it off. Leaving it on activates the alarm feature. 
 P. 72, "Alarm Feature"
Important Note on Switching Off the Power
Never switch off the main power or unplug the power cord suddenly while operation is in progress. Doing 
so may damage the print heads. Be sure to first switch off the sub power.
If the main power is accidentally switched off, immediately 
turn the power back on.

The Power-saving Feature
This machine is provided with a power-saving feature that switches to a low-power "sleep mode" when a fixed interval passes 
with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep mode is 30 minutes.
You can change the setting for the time of the shift to the sleep mode. You can also switch off the power-saving feature.
 P. 86, "Setting the Interval until Activation of the Sleep Mode," p.86, "Deactivating the Sleep Mode"
When the machine is in the sleep mode, the sub power switch flashes slowly. Using the operation panel or performing opera-
tions such as sending printing data from the computer (when media is loaded) restores the machine to its normal mode.
To reduce power consumption, we recommend leaving the power-saving feature on and setting the activation time for the 
sleep mode to 30 minutes or less.

2-3 Loading and Cutting Off Media
Loading Media
Media may be of one of two types: media wound onto a paper tube (called “roll media”) and media not rolled in this way 
(called “sheet media”). This section explains how to load media, using roll media as an example. For information on how to 
load sheet media, refer to the page indicated below. 
 P. 82 "How to Load Sheet Media"
 CAUTION Load roll media correctly. 
Otherwise the media may fall and cause injury. 
 CAUTION Roll media weighs about 20 kg (44 lb.). Handling roll media is an operation that 
must be performed by two persons or more, and care must be taken to prevent 
falls. 
Attempting  to  lift  heavy  media  in  a  manner  that  taxes  your  strength  may  cause 
physical injury. Also, if dropped, such items may cause injury.
 CAUTION  Never load media that weighs more than 20 kg (44 lb.) .
The machine may fail to withstand the weight and tip over or cause the media to 
fall.
 CAUTION When performing printing, be sure to attach the rear cover. 
When the rear cover is not installed, ultraviolet light can escape from the machine 
more easily.
1. Pass the media through the machine and position it correctly on the left\
 and right.
Open the front cover.
Move the media clamps to the sides.
Attach the media flanges to the roll media.
If the inner diameter of the roll-media core measures 3 inches, fit the media flanges onto the core, then turn each 
knob clockwise all the way to keep the media flanges from falling out.

Make sure both edges of the media are above the grit rollers, then place pinch rollers over 
all grit rollers covered by the media.
Placing the pinch rollers inside each of the grit patterns ensures that they are positioned above the grit rollers. 
Be sure to place the left and right pinch rollers at the edges of the media. The middle pinch rollers cannot be lowered 
at any position other than above the grit rollers. 
When positioning the middle pinch rollers, choose locations where they are as equally spaced as possible above the 
grit roller that lie inside the left and right pinch rollers.

Important Note When Using the Media Clamps
  Insert  the  media  clamps  firmly  all  the  way  until  they  engage  with  an  audible  click,  and  make  sure  they  will  not  come loose. Incorrect mounting may cause the media to catch or snag and make correct printing impossible, or may lead to 
malfunction or poor printing quality. 
 As printing proceeds, the media may move to the left or right and touch or come loose from the media clamps. After  about 1 m (3 ft.) of media has been fed, check the positioning of the media clamps. If the media looks like it may come 
loose from the media clamps, adjust the positioning of the media clamps.
Position the pinch rollers over the grit rollers. 
If the message shown in the figure appears when you close the front cover, check the positions of the pinch rollers and the 
middle pinch rollers. These must be placed over the grit rollers. Also, if the number of middle pinch rollers installed is greater 
than the number of grit rollers used, then detach the extra middle pinch rollers.
Remove when not using roll media. 
If roll media is allowed to stand unused in a loaded state for an extended period, the media may sag. This can cause poor 
printing quality and motor errors, so be sure to remove and store such media when not in use.

Cutting Off the Media
Some media may be thick or may be composed of plastic or other hard material. For such media, never perform cutoff using 
. Doing so may cause malfunction or other problems. 
Procedure
Close the front cover.
Make sure
lights up.
Hold downfor one second or longer
The media is cut off.The cutoff location on the media is as shown in the figure below.
You  can  make  the  setting  in  the  software  RIP  for  automatic  media  cutoff  after  printing  or  cutting  has  finished.  For 
information on how to make the setting, refer to the documentation for the software RIP you're using.
Important Notes on Using the Long Media Clamps
When  you're  using  the  long  media  clamps,  be  sure  to  set  the  [MEDIA  CLAMP]  menu  item  to  [LONG] 
to disable media cutoff. Performing cutting the media when the long media clamps are installed causes 
interference with the separating knife, which may result in malfunction \
or damage to the machine.
If you want to separate the media after printing has finished, be sure to first detach the long media clamps, 
then set the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item to a setting other than [LONG].
 P. 80, "Printing Media That Warps Easily"
Give Attention to Media Composition
 For some types of media, cutoff is not possible. 
  Some types of media may remain on the platen after cutoff. If the media remains on the platen, remove 
it by hand.
  When  you  cut  off  media  while  using  the  short  media  clamps,  then  depending  on  the  media,  it  may 
come loose from the media clamps. After you cut off the media, check to make sure that the media 
has not come loose from the media clamps.
Before you're performing cutoff, never useto pull the media back.
Unless the end of the media has been pulled out to a location to the front of the platen, cutoff may not 
be performed smoothly.
