4-2 Maintaining the Printer Chapter 4
Printer Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to your printer and harm to
you or others:
❍ Set the printer on a stable surface. Do not use an angled printer
stand. Avoid setting the printer in direct sunlight.
❍ Keep the front cover closed when printing.
❍ Do not set anything on top of the printer.
❍ Do not unplug the printer unnecessarily. If you will not be using the
printer for an extended period, unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
❍ When you unplug the power cord, grasp the plug itself. Do not pull
on the cord.
❍ Do not unplug the printer when it is printing. This may prevent the
print head unit from returning to the home position on the right and
being capped, which may cause the print head to dry out. This is
critical. If left uncapped, the print head unit may clog and may need
to be replaced.
❍ Do not move the mechanism that holds the BJ cartridge. Attempting
to move the BJ cartridge holder may damage delicate mechanical
parts. (When you open the front cover, the cartridge holder
automatically moves to the center of the printer.)
