of inks or accessories which are not from Sojet will not be guaranteed.

Safety Precautions

High voltage inside the machine after electricity connection, Maintenance or disassembly

by unqualified or unprofessional person is strictly prohibited, in order to prevent any

accidents. Machine must be reliably grounded by connecting the grounding wire with the

machine when install equipment, wrong grounding will result in machine failure and the

machine don’t work normally.

Do not expose ink directly under sunlight or high temperature (35 ℃above). The heat of direct

sunlight or high temperature will affect ink’s storage life and printing quality.

If get ink spill on the eyes or skin, please wash your eyes or skin with clean water.

Ink leakage inside printer will cause burnout damage to machine. Switch off the machine
