 CAUTION 

Installation 

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 injury. 

The printer must be used on a suitable stable 
surface, otherwise it may tip over or fall down and 
cause injury.   
Furthermore, the table that supports the printer 
should be at least 100 cm in width and 80 cm in 
depth, and should be able to bear a weight of 150 
kg or more. 

Do not set up the printer in a place where it will be 
affected by vibration. It may become unbalanced 
and fall down, which cause injury or damage to the 
printer. 

Do not connect the power cord until setup is 
complete, otherwise the printer may operate if the 
power switch is turned on by mistake, which could 
result in injury.

Do not climb onto the printer or place heavy objects 
on top of it, otherwise it may become unbalanced 
and tip over or fall down and cause injury. 

Printing 

This printer should only be used by operators who 
are appropriately trained in its operation. 

Ensure there is adequate space left for safe 
working. The Platen moves forward while operating 
and it may be injured. 

Do not handle the platen while printing. If your hand 
gets caught between the platen or the T-shirt tray 
and the covers, it may be injured. 

Do not move the Platen by hand. 
The Printer may be mechanically and electrically 
damaged. 

Do not put your hands inside the covers while the 
printer’s power is turned on, otherwise your hands 
may touch against moving parts and this may result 
in injury. 

When a problem occurs with the operation of the 
printer, contact the place of purchase or a qualified 
technician. 

Maintenance 

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. 

Do not move the Platen by hand. 
The Printer may be mechanically and electrically 
damaged. 

Do not disassemble the ink cartridge or the waste 
ink cartridge.

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. 
Furthermore, 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.

Use only the proper replacement parts as specified 
by Brother.
