Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” on page 21.
• This unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as
it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
printer with a damaged power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time,
disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the
cord itself.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• Do not disassemble or convert the unit.
• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric
shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire
or electric shock.
• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the printer
from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them
with other units or by covering the printer with a cloth
etc.
• If the printer malfunctions or if a foreign body falls
into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately
and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony
dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the printer in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– where it is exposed to rain
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
– close to sources of strong magnetism
– close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
• Do not use other electronic equipment near the printer.
It will not work properly in strong electromagnetic
fields.
• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the
printer.
Condensation
• If the printer is subject to wide and sudden changes in
temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of
moisture, condensation may form inside the printer.
In such cases the printer will probably not work
properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in
using it. If condensation forms, set the printer to
standby mode and leave the printer to stand for at least
one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on
the print cartridge or paper. This will cause the printer
to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in
this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.
Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations
subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible,
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location.
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when
the printing pack is removed from its package.
Location
To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer for air to circulate through the vents
on the left hand side of the cabinet.
On transportation
• Do not transport the printer with the supplied
accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• Retain the original carton and packing materials in
case you have to transport the unit in the future.
Cleaning
• Before cleaning the printer, press the on/standby
button of the printer so that the lamp goes out, and
unplug the power cord.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the
finish.
