parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.

The inner parts of this product may be scratched because of processing and adjustment, but this does

not degrade the product's performance or quality.

Model-Specific Information

This section explains how to identify the region to which your machine belongs.

There is a label on the rear of the machine, located in the position shown below. The label contains

details that identify the region to which your machine belongs. Read the label.

DWU110

The following information is region-specific. Read the information under the symbol that corresponds to

the region of your machine.

(mainly Europe and Asia)

If the label contains the following, your machine is a Region A model:

• CODE XXXX -27

• 220–240 V

(mainly North America)

If the label contains the following, your machine is a Region B model:

• CODE XXXX -17

1. Getting Started

• 208–240 V

• Dimensions in this manual are given in two measurement units: metric and imperial. If your machine

is a Region A model, refer to the metric units. If your machine is a Region B model, refer to the

imperial units.

About Operating Environments

Conditions for Installation Locations

• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might

occur.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might

occur.

• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good

ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

• Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal

components.

The following is the recommended range for the operating environment:

• Temperature: 15–30°C (59–86°F) (Recommended range: 20–25°C (68–77°F))

• Humidity: 35–80% (Recommended range: 40–60%)

• Altitude: 2,000 m (approx. 6,561.7 ft.) or less

Place the machine on a level surface. The machine must be level within 5 mm (approx. 0.2 inches): both

front to rear and left to right.

Place the machine in a stable place where the floor is strong enough to withstand a load of 1,800

N/m

2

or more.

If the machine is placed somewhere where the conditions are different from those recommended, a

failure may occur. Avoid the following environments when locating the machine:

• Low temperature and humidity or high temperature and humidity

• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Places close to heaters, air conditioners, or humidifiers

• Places subject to frequent strong vibration

• Places with poor ventilation

• Dusty areas

• Places close to an oil heater or machine generating ammonia, such as a diazo copy machine

Precautions for users of ultrasonic-type humidifiers

Do not use an ultrasonic-type humidifier near this product.

1. Getting Started

10

Chlorine or mineral components atomized by an ultrasonic-type humidifier may adhere to the

electronic components inside the product, causing it to malfunction.

Space Required for Installation

Ensure enough space around the machine for installation. The space shown below is necessary for

operating the machine and for work done by a service engineer.

1. Rear: 1,000 mm (approx. 39.4 inches) or more

2. Right: 500 mm (approx. 19.7 inches) or more

3. Front: 1,000 mm (approx. 39.4 inches) or more

4. Left: 500 mm (approx. 19.7 inches) or more

About Moving the Machine

Relocation of the machine should be performed by a customer engineer. Contact your service

representative if you need to relocate the machine.

About Long Term Storage of the Machine

When not using the machine for a week or more, perform nozzle maintenance before storing the

machine.

For details about how to perform nozzle maintenance, see page 185 "Performing nozzle

maintenance".

Note the following:

• If the machine is to be left unused for a long time, check that there are sufficient reserves in the ink

cartridge, nozzle cleaning cartridge and flushing liquid cartridge, and that the waste ink bottle has

enough spare capacity. If the ink or other cartridges run out or the waste ink bottle becomes full,

the auto-maintenance function will not work properly. If the auto-maintenance function fails to work

About Operating Environments

properly, problems, such as nozzle clogging due to a dried-out print head and white ink

precipitation may occur, causing a malfunction.

• If you do not use the machine for a long period of time, always check if the nozzles are clogged by

printing a nozzle check pattern. Perform head cleaning before printing as necessary.

• If you do not use the machine for a long period of time, printing may not be performed normally

even if head cleaning is performed multiple times. If any nozzles are stilled clogged, turn the power

off and do not use the machine for 8 hours or longer. If there are air bubbles trapped in the ink,

they may be absorbed and normal printing may be possible. If the problem is still not resolved, see

page 184 "When You Want to Clear Nozzle Clogging".
