Safety Precautions

Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any operations

or procedures other than as described in this manual. Doing so may result in unexpected accidents

and can cause a fire or electrical shocks.

Printer location

Warning

• Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, thinner, or other volatile liquids. If

these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk

of fire or electrical shock.

Caution

• Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface. If it falls over, this could cause

personal injury.

• Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust,

or exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or

electrical shock. Use the printer location in an environment where temperature and humidity

are within the ranges of 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F) and 10 to 80% RH (with no

condensation).

• Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet. The fibers may enter the printer and

cause a fire.

• Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that you can disconnect the power

cable immediately if the printer starts operating abnormally. In the event of a printer

malfunction, remove the power cable from the outlet as soon as possible to prevent fire and

electrical shocks.

• Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that

generates such fields or places where such fields occur. This could damage the printer or

cause malfunction.

iPF6400S Basic Guide

Preface Safety Precautions

Power Supply

Warning

• Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause electrical shock.

• Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power source. If the power cable is not

inserted completely, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use any power cable other than the one provided. This could cause a fire or electrical

shock. Never use the power cable with any other electrical device.

• Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and never stretch it or bend it forcefully.

Never place a heavy object on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power cable could

cause a short circuit and may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any power source shared by other electrical

devices. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry cloth to wipe away dust that has

collected on the plug and the area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable plugged in

and not cleaned for a long period, especially in an area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could

cause the insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.

Caution

• Always grip the plug to remove the power cable from the power outlet. Pulling on the power

cable could damage the cable and lead to a fire or electrical shock.

• Never use an extension cord. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Never use any power source other than 100–120 / 220–240 V AC. This could cause a fire or

electrical shock. The printer operating conditions are described below. Use the printer under

the following conditions.

Power supply voltage: 100–120 / 220–240 V AC

Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz

In an Emergency

Warning

• If the printer emits smoke or strange odors, continuing to use the printer may cause a fire or

electrical shock. Switch the printer off immediately and remove the power plug from the power

outlet. Contact the nearest service center.

Cleaning the Printer

Warning

• For cleaning, use a cloth dampened in water. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol,

benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside

the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Caution

• Always disconnect the power cable from the outlet before cleaning the printer. If the printer is

switched on accidentally, moving parts inside the printer may cause personal injuries.

Pacemakers

Warning

• This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone wearing a pacemaker who

experiences discomfort while working around the printer should leave the area. Consult a

physician before continuing to work around the printer.

iPF6400S Basic Guide

Preface Safety Precautions

Moving the Printer

Caution

• Moving the printer requires at least three people, holding it on both sides and from behind. Be

careful to avoid back strain and other injuries.

• When moving the printer, firmly grasp the Carrying Handles under each side and in back. The

printer may be unsteady if you hold it at other positions, which poses a risk of injury from

dropping the printer.

Printhead, Ink Tanks, and Maintenance Cartridge

Caution

• Always store consumables in a safe location out of the reach of small children. If a child licks or

ingests ink accidentally, seek medical assistance immediately.

• If ink accidentally gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with water.

If ink gets on your skin, immediately clean it off with soap and water.

If irritation persists in your eyes or on your skin, contact a physician immediately.

• Avoid dropping or shaking printheads, ink tanks, and maintenance cartridges. Spilled ink can

stain clothing and the work area.

• Never touch the electrical contacts of the Printhead after printing. The contacts become

extremely hot and can cause minor burns.

Other

Warning

• Never disassemble the printer or attempt repairs. There are high voltage parts inside the

printer that can cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Never use flammable sprays around the printer. The gas of flammable sprays can cause a fire

or electrical shock, if it contacts high voltage points inside the printer.

• Never touch the cutting edge of Cutter Unit

(a). This could cause personal injury.

Caution

• Never insert your hand into the printer while it is printing. Moving parts inside the printer can

cause injuries.

• Never place anything on the printer such as small metal objects (paper clips, staples), liquids,

any type of liquid container that contains flammable liquids (alcohol, benzene, etc.). If such

objects fall into the printer, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• To prevent a fire hazard or dangerous electric shock, if a foreign object falls into or a liquid

spills into the printer, press the Power button immediately to switch the printer off, unplug the

printer power cable from the outlet, and then call for service. If you continue to use the printer,

this could cause a fire or electrical shock.

Important

• Connect the interface cable correctly. To avoid damage, before connection make sure that the

shape of the cable connector matches the connection point on the printer.

• During printing, turn on the ventilation system in the room.

• We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.
