IMPORTANT

Thank you for purchasing a RJ-6000 Series Full-color Inkjet Printer.

rectly.

Keep the manual beside the printer. It is sure to be useful in case something

that you are not sure about should occur while you are using the printer.

promptly and maintaining printing quality in top condition. For

details, contact your local Mutoh dealer.

Introduction

For Safe Usage

IMPORTANT

NOTE

REFERENCE

RJ-6000 Series is a precision device. When you use it, be careful

of the following.

• Don't use the printer in extreme heat, cold or humidity.

• Covers secured by screws must not be opened other than parts

noted in this manual.

• Don't have a radio or television nearby as the printer may

cause interference.

• Don't connect the printer cable to the same power source as an

appliance that generates electrical noise.

• This printer uses 100 to 120 V, or 200 to 240 V AC power. Don't

use it with power other than 100 to 120 V, or 200 to 240 V AC.

• Be sure to use a power source with an earth connection.

• Avoid placing objects on top of the printer or subjecting it to

severe vibration or impact.

• Don't tilt or shake the printer when you move it. This may

cause the ink to spill or the mechanism to malfunction. If tilting

is unavoidable, contact your local Mutoh dealer.

• Don't wipe the printer with thinners or benzene.

• Be sure to use RJ-6000 Series special cartridges (the printer

will be damaged if an ink other than a special cartridge is

used.)

• If the printer makes a strange noise or acts abnormally, refer to

"When trouble strikes" on page 91 and contact your local

Mutoh dealer.

• There is no question about the safety of the ink but since it is

mildly toxic it should be kept out of the reach of children.

Using the Printer

RJ-6000 Series USER GUIDE Basic Edition

Precautions & Introduction

CAUTION

• Ink cartridges should be kept in a cool dark place. However, the

ink will freeze if it is stored for a long period below -10˚C for

black ink and below -10˚C for colored ink so storage under

these conditions should be avoided. If the ink becomes frozen,

it should be thawed for at least three hours at room tempera-

ture (25˚C) before use.

• Don't put the hold lever in the up position while the head is

moving (during printing, media size detection, media cutting

and cleaning, etc.). The head and media keeper blade will

touch, causing damage or faulty printing.

• When the hold lever is to be put in the up position for loading

media, etc., make sure that the head is in a position where it

will not touch the media keeper blade.

• Don't move the head while the hold lever is up. The head may

touch the media keeper blade.
