In order to use the plotter safely, the general notes which must be followed are explained.

Do not install the plotter in the following places where there is a possibility that the plotter may be damaged or might fall or be fallen by chance.

•	On a shaky stand
•	Slanting location
•	Places where vibration of other machines etc. is transmitted

Do not stamp on the plotter or do not place heavy things on top of it. The plotter may be damaged or might fall or be fallen by chance.

Cover the plotter with blanket and cloth like tablecloth and do not close the vent. If the vent is closed, the plotter could accumulate heat inside and may cause fire.

Do not install the plotter in places where the humidity is high and dusty. It could lead to electric shock and fire.

Do not use damaged power cable. It could lead to an electric shock and fire.

Do not take out or insert power plug with a wet hand. This could lead to an electric shock.

Do not connect an earth wire to the following places.

•	Gas pipe There is a possibility of ignition and explosion.
•	Earth wire of telephone cables and lightning rods Heavy current might flow whenever a lightning strikes.
•	Water pipe and faucet The earth might not work if a plastic pipe is connected in the middle of the metal pipe.

Do not insert or drop metal or objects which are easily combustible through the openings such as fresh air inlet into the plotter. It could lead to an electric shock and fire.

When foreign substances or liquids such as water entered the plotter, do not use the plotter as it is. It could lead to an electric shock and fire. Immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the power plug from the electric socket, and contact MUTOH local dealer.

While installing option items, be sure to turn OFF the power of the plotter and pull out the power plug. It could lead to an electric shock.

Wire the various codes (cable) as directed in the Operation Manual. Mistaken wiring could cause fire.

Be sure to use the power cable supplied with the plotter. If other power cables are used, it would cause an electric shock or fire.

Make sure to use only the specified power supply (AC 100 V - 120 V or AC 220 V - 240 V). If the power supply other than the specified voltage is used, it could cause an electric shock and fire.

Take power for the plotter directly from the power socket (AC 100 V - 120 V or AC 220 V - 240 V). Do not use complex multiple plugs on the same socket. This could generate heat and might cause fire.

Be sure to use a dedicated power socket with earth wire for the power supply, and connect it to the earth wire. If the earth wire is not connected, an electric shock or fire may occur.

Pay attention to the following points, while handling power cable.

•	Do not do anything forcefully on the power cable.
•	Do not keep heavy objects on the power cable.
•	Do not bend, twist or pull the power cable by force.
•	Do not route the power cable near heating appliances.

Pay attention to the following points while handling power supply plug. Any mishandling of the power cable could cause a fire.

•	Make sure that no foreign substances such as dust etc. are stuck to the power plug.
•	The power plug is firmly inserted to the edge of the power socket.

While handling ink cartridge, pay attention so that the ink does not get into eyes or stick to the skin. If the ink gets into the eyes or sticks to the skin, immediately wash off with water. It might possibly cause irritation and light inflammation of eyes. In case of any abnormality, consult the physician immediately.

Do not disassemble the ink cartridge. If disassembled, there is a possibility that the ink might come into contact with eyes or skin.

Be careful to see that fingers are not caught in between opening and closing the media cover.

Do not operate media set lever during plotter initialization. If the carriage portion and the pressurizing roller portion touch each other, there is a possibility that the plotter may break down.

Do not use volatile solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. These could damage the paint.

Be careful that moisture does not enter the plotter. There is a possibility that electric circuit inside the plotter might get short circuited.

Do not open covers attached with screws under any circumstance. There is a possibility of receiving an electric shock or plotter breakdown.

Do not touch the edge of the razor blade. Doing so may cause injury.

Do not hit the edge of the razor blade with hard objects, or do not drop the razor blade. There is a possibility that razor blade edge may become blunt or get chipped off.

Do not make the main body of the plotter slanting or place in vertical positions or do not keep the plotter upside down. There is a possibility that ink inside the plotter may leak. Moreover, normal operation after shifting (to these positions) cannot be guaranteed.

To open and move the plotter to the installation place, be sure to take the help with the following personnels.

•	RJ-901C: 2 or more
•	RJ-900C: 3 or more

While taking out the plotter from the container box, make sure to remove the vinyl sheet and hold the handles on the plotter side. If the plotter is lifted with the vinyl sheet attached, there is a possibility that the plotter might fall slipping from hands and damaged.

To install the stand to the plotter, make sure to take the help with the following personnels.

•	RJ-901C: 2 or more
•	RJ-900C: 3 or more

While installing the stand, be sure to turn OFF the plotter power and to pull out the power plug. It could lead to an electric shock.

If the plotter is not used for a longer period, make sure to pull out the power plug from the power socket for safety.

Make sure to connect an earth wire to the earth connection which meets the following standards.

•	Earth terminal of power socket
•	Earth wire with copper plate which is buried at 650 mm or more, deep in the ground.

Set the roll media on an even surface such as desk etc. If the roll media is set in such a way that the scroller is standing vertical, there is a possibility that the scroller might get damaged.
