type of media.

Notes on Handling
❏ Do not fold the media or damage the printable
surface.

❏ Do not touch the printable surface. Moisture and

oils from your hands can affect print quality.

❏ When handling media, hold it by both edges. We

recommend wearing cotton gloves.

❏ Keep the media dry.

❏ Packaging materials can be used to store media

and should not be thrown away.

❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,

excessive heat, or humidity.

❏ When not in use, media should be removed from

the printer, rewound, and inserted in its original
packaging for storage. Leaving media in the
printer for extended periods may cause it to
deteriorate.

Handling Media After Printing

To maintain long lasting, high quality print results,
note the following points.

❏ Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they

are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.

❏ Do not touch the printed surface, as this may

remove the ink.

❏ Make sure printouts are completely dry before

folding or stacking, otherwise discoloration or
other marks may appear where the prints touch.
These marks will disappear if the prints are
immediately separated and dried but will become
permanent if the surfaces are not separated.

❏ Avoid direct sunlight.

Notes on auto ink circulation
This function automatically circulates inks in the print
head or tubes for WH/MS inks at periodic intervals to
prevent ink sedimentation from occurring.

Note the following points to use the auto ink

circulation function correctly.

❏ We recommend always leaving the printer on.

Since auto ink circulation is not performed at the
appropriate times when the power is turned off,
sedimentation that cannot be dissolved may occur
which can cause problems in the printer. When
not using the printer for a long period of time, see:
U “Long-term Storage (Pre-storage

❏ When printing multiple copies as a batch, auto

ink circulation may be performed between pages.
In this situation, colors may differ before and
after circulation, and it may take some time to
finish the print job.

Caution:
❏ Follow the instructions in the manual when
loading media or roll cores or removing
media from the take-up roll.
Dropping media, roll cores, or take-up rolls
could result in injury.

Basic Operations

Attaching the Roll Core Loading

Preparing A Keep the d button pressed until the leading

edge of the media reaches the center of the after
heater.
Use a roll core that is longer than the width of the
media.
This allows the media to be taken up without
protruding from the core.

Prepare the supplied paper tape.

We recommend this method for attaching media to
the roll core due to the following advantages.

❏ It allows you to prevent misalignment of the roll

at the left and the right edges, and to prevent the
media from moving around, which provides a
stable printing length for print jobs.

❏ Media is not wasted.

❏ Media can be easily removed from the roll core

after winding. c Important:
Always press the d button to feed the media.
If the media is pulled by hand, the media
may twist during take-up.

When the supplied paper tape runs out, purchase

commercially available paper tape with a width of 20
to 25 mm (that is not easily stretched or cut). If you do
not have any paper tape, cut media into pieces that are
20 to 25 mm wide and approximately 70 cm long.

C Align the roll core holder with the right edge of

the media, and tighten the screw. F Leave a 10 to 20 cm wide section in the center
of the media, and cut at least 25 cm in height
from the left and right corners of the media.
Cutting the media prevents feeding problems,
such as the left and right corners of media
being folded and caught at the start of take-up.

D Insert the roll core onto the right holder.

E Push the holder until part A shown in the

illustration below is fully inserted, and tighten
the screw.

For the subsequent steps, see the following depending

sources.
For Print Pattern, when printing for the set number of pages is
complete, the next page is printed across the printed check pattern.
When all printing is complete, you can visually inspect the pattern to
determine whether there may be faint or missing colors in the
preceding or following printout. Use this for media not suited to Auto
Nozzle Check or if you feel that Auto Nozzle Check would take too long.

royalty-free, non-exclusive license, to the extent of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the
Original Code, to do the following:

2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within Your organization,
and Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original Code, for commercial or non-commercial
purposes, provided that in each instance:

(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright and other proprietary notices and
disclaimers of Apple as they appear in the Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer
to this License; and

(b) You must include a copy of this License with every copy of Source Code of Covered Code and documentation

Software License Terms

2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code and/
or Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as
well as in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this
License with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.

2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the
licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or
any Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any
other entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based
on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed,
if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is
Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.

3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You
hereby grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property
rights (other than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, sublicense,
distribute and Externally Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.

4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance, You must make
sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.

5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied,
are granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from
Apple which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.

6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one
or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole
responsibility, and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any
such Additional Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and
every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by
reason of any such Additional Terms.

7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular
version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use
such Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other
than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or
not fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be
incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any
portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT
WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S)
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL
CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF
ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE
AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR
ENJOYMENT OF THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE
WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE
CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You
acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft

could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL

APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY
OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR
OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY
REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall
Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) under this License
exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).

10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple
Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service
marks, logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark,
logo or trade name belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name
of products derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code
other than as expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage
guidelines which are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.

11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and
interest in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to
the Original Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple
Modifications will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license
such Apple Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may
choose not to license them at all.

12. Termination.

(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure

(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an
action for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent
infringement against You in that instance.

12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction,
modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have
been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by
their nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited
to Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or
damages of any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of
this License will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government
software and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the
public as defined in this License. This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in
accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense
purchases, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial
Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire
Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.

13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or
any other form of legal association between or among You, Apple or any Contributor, and You will not represent
to the contrary, whether expressly, by implication, appearance or otherwise.

13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license, develop, have
others develop for it, market and/or distribute technology or products that perform the same or similar functions
as, or otherwise compete with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop,
produce, market or distribute.

13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of this License will not
be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any law or regulation which provides
that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.

13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or
portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible so as to effect the economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will
continue in full force and effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You
from fully and/or specifically complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of either of those
Sections, this License will immediately terminate and You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered
Code and destroy all copies of it that are in your possession or control.

13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to this License
shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal
jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
excluded.

13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State
of California, except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.

Where You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the following clause applies: The parties hereby
confirm that they have requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in English.
