◆ Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and
humidity conditions as the printer.
◆ Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so
that they can be connected with the required cable.
◆ Locate the printer on a flat, level floor.
◆ Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not
disturb quiet work areas.
◆ DO NOT install the printer near humidifiers, refrigerators,
fans, water faucets, heaters or similar equipment.
◆ DO NOT install the printer in areas where the temperature
changes abruptly, such as near air conditioners or in the path
of direct sunlight.
◆ DO NOT expose the printer to flames or dust.
Important Operating
Notes
◆ DO NOT POWER DOWN THE PRINTER. Constant vacuum at
the printheads is required to prevent ink from flowing from
the printheads when not printing, even when the printheads
are capped. If the printer must be powered down for ship-
ping, empty and cap the printheads (See “Extended Power
Down and Restart” on page 5-21) or apply auxiliary 24 volt
power.
◆ If the printer has been idle for more than several minutes,
press the Prime Bars button on the printer control panel to
check for missing inkjets. To recover missing inkjets, see
“Checking Jet Health” on page 3-7.
◆ If the printer will be idle for more than one hour, cap the
printheads to conserve ink. When the printheads are
uncapped and the printer is not printing, the printheads
periodically expel a small amount of ink into the excess ink
reservoir to keep them working. (“Capping the Printheads”
on page 3-13 for instructions.)
◆ To wipe the printheads, use only ColorSpan cleaning solvent
applied with a 100% polyester Class 100 cleanroom wipe.
(See “Cleaning Clogged Ink Jets” on page 5-9 for instruc-
tions.) DO NOT USE ISOPROYPL ALCOHOL.
