Be Sure to Check Paper Settings before PrintingBefore printing, make paper settings in the operation panel or the computer screen. There are various types of paper, such as paper with a special surface coating for printing photos at optimal quality and paper suitable for documents. Each media type has specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that allow you to print to that type with optimal image quality. The wrong paper settings may cause poor printout color quality or scratches on the printed surface. If you notice blurring or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again. 301
Be Sure to Set Cassette Paper Information after Loading PaperWhen you insert a cassette into the machine after loading paper, the screen for setting the type and size of paper is displayed. Set the cassette paper information according to the type and size of loaded paper. To prevent incorrect printing, this machine has a function that detects whether the information set for the paper loaded in the cassette matches the paper settings. Before printing, make paper settings in accordance with the cassette paper information. When this function is enabled, an error message is displayed if these settings do not match to prevent incorrect printing. When this error message is displayed, check and correct the paper settings. To check cassette paper information, display the paper information screen on the operation panel. 302
Canceling a Print JobNever press the ON button! If you press the ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in the machine and you may not be able to continue to print. Press the Stop button to cancel printing. 303
Storing Printed ImagesStore printed images in albums, clear photo sleeves, or glass frames to protect them from direct exposure to air. Note • Storing printed images without sufficient drying may cause blurring or discoloration. 304
Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing QualityThe key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging.Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality. Note • Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area. Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off! If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before the POWER lamp is turned off, the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging. When unplugging the power cord , make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit. Important • If the power cord is unplugged, the date/time settings will be reset and all documents stored in the machine's memory will be lost. Send or print a necessary document before unplugging the power cord. Print periodically! Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long time. We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month. 305
Precautions for Safe Transport of the MachineWhen relocating the machine, make sure of the following. Important • Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficientprotective material to ensure safe transport. • With the FINE cartridge left installed in the machine, press the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying. • After packing, do not tilt the box containing the machine or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so may cause the ink to leak during transport and cause damage to the machine. • When a shipping agent is handling transport of the machine, have its box marked "THIS SIDE UP" to keep the machine with its bottom facing down. Mark also with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE". 1. Turn the machine off. 2. Confirm that the POWER lamp is off and unplug the power cord . Important • Do not unplug the machine while the POWER lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction or damage to the machine, making the machine unable to print. 3. Retract the paper output support with the output tray extension closed. 4. Close the front cover. 5. Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the machine, then unplug the power cord from the machine. 6. Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the machine to keep them from opening during transportation. Then pack the machine in the plastic bag. 7. Attach the protective material to the machine when packing the machine in the box. Important • We recommend to hold and carry out this machine as shown in the figure below. If you hold the front cover or the cassette, it may fall out of the machine. 306
