1 9. Transporting 9. Transporting This chapter describes how to transport. WARNING Do not put your hands in the ink cartridge slot, otherwise the needle inside the slot may cause injury. CAUTION Setting up and moving of the printer should only be carried out by a qualified technician. The printer machine weighs approximately 100 kg. Transporting and setting up of the printer should be carried out by four or more people. The machine must be transported using the correct handling points only. Do not use the cartridge housings to move the machine. The machine may fall down and cause personal injury or damage to the printer. Wait at least 1 minute after turning off the power switch before opening the front cover. Do not touch the head heat sink as it may be HOT and may cause a burn. Be careful not to get your fingers caught when closing the front cover, otherwise it may result in injury to your fingers. Take care not to let the ink, waste liquid or wash liquid come into contact with your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result. In case of contact with eyes, do not rub but immediately rinse the eyes with water. Do not drink the ink, waste liquid or wash liquid under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Keep the ink, waste liquid and wash liquid out of the reach of children. 273
