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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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

•

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.

•

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.

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.

█Pacemakers

█In an Emergency

█Cleaning the Printer

Safety Precautions

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.

•

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.

•

The weights of main printer units are as follows:•

Moving the printer requires at least six people, one person on each side of the unit. Be careful to avoid

back strain and other injuries.

•

iPF815/iPF825: Approx. 112 kg (246.9 lb)

When moving the printer, ﬁrmly grasp the Carrying Handles located on the bottom surface at both

sides. Holding the printer at other positions is dangerous and poses a risk of injury and damage if the

printer is dropped.

•

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

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.

•

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.

•

Safety Precautions

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.

•

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

Do not touch the blade (a) of the Cutter Unit. This could cause personal injury.•

We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.•

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.

•

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.
