SC-B9580 User's Guide Introduction Notes on Usage and Storage ❏ Avoid using the printer in locations with heat sources or that are exposed to direct draughts from ventilators or air conditioners. The print head nozzles could dry out and clog. Installation space ❏ The print head may not be capped (the print head may not return to the right side) if the printer is turned off when media is jammed or an error has occurred. Capping is a function for automatically covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.
Make sure that you secure the following space, clear of any other objects, so that paper ejection and consumable replacement are not obstructed. See the "Specifications Table" for the external dimensions of the printer. U “Specifications Table” on page 126 ❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power plug or cut the power at the breaker. Otherwise, the print head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically. ❏ Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could spill inside or around the printer. ❏ Maintenance such as cleaning and replacement must be performed according to usage frequency or at recommended intervals.
Failure to perform regular maintenance could result in loss of print quality. In the absence of the appropriate maintenance, continued use could damage the print head. U “Components Requiring Regular Cleaning and Cleaning Timing” on page 58 Notes when using the printer Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality decline. ❏ As well as being expended during printing, ink is used during Head Cleaning and other maintenance operations required to keep the print head in working order. Be sure that the waste ink bottle is placed whenever the printer is on.
❏ When using the printer, follow the operating temperature and humidity range described in the "Specifications Table". U “Specifications Table” on page 126 Note, however, that the desired results may not be achieved if the temperature and humidity are within the limits for the printer but not within those for the media. Be sure the operating conditions suit the media. For more information, see the documentation supplied with the media. Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain the appropriate humidity. ❏ For stable color printing, maintain a constant room temperature of 20 to 30˚C (68 to 86˚F).
❏ Note the following points for the areas indicated in the illustration. A Do not touch any components inside the printer cover or maintenance cover except those specified in the manual. ❏ Make sure the work space is kept clean. If dust or lint enter into the printer, it could damage the printer, clog the print head nozzles, or cause the quality of media feeding to decline. B Do not connect other devices to the drying fan and auto take-up reel unit connectors. 24
