1.1 Introduction
This chapter explains the meaning of safety terms for personnel who installs, operates, or maintains this
equipment, important safety instructions, and the warning labels attached to the equipment.
WARNING
Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings on this manual when installing, operating,
or maintaining the equipment.

VJ-1204 Maintenance Manual 1 Safety Instructions
WARNING
• Do not place the printer in the following areas. Doing so may result in the printer tipping
or falling over and causing injury.
• Unstable surfaces
• Angled place
• Areas subject to vibration by other equipment
• Do not stand on or place heavy objects on your printer. Doing so may result in the printer
tipping or falling over and causing injury.
• Do not cover the ventilation hole of your printer with cloth, such as a blanket or table cloth.
Doing so could obstruct ventilation and cause fire.
• Do not place the printer in humid and dusty areas. Doing so may result in electrical shock
or fire.
• Make sure to use the power cable packed with the printer you purchased. Not doing so
may result in electrical shock or fire.
• Make sure that the following is performed before parts replacement.
• Turn off the power of the printer.
• Remove the power cable from the power outlet.
Not doing so may cause electric shock or damage to the electric circuit.
• Unplug the cables connected to the printer.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the printer.

1 Safety Instructions VJ-1204 Maintenance Manual
CAUTION
• Assembling and disassembling of the printer are possible only for the parts that
disassembling procedures are shown in this manual. Do not disassemble any frame parts
or parts that disassembling procedures are not shown in this manual.
Doing so may cause trouble that cannot be restored, as the printer is originally assembled
in the factory with a high accuracy of 1/100 mm.
• Do not touch the elements on the circuit board with bare hands.
Doing so may cause static electricity and break the elements.
• Do not press the transparent film on the damper assembly with your hands. Doing so may
discharge the ink filled inside the damper assembly.
• Be careful not to damage the transparent film on the damper assembly.
• Do not touch the nozzles of the print head. Make sure that the nozzles do not get any dust.
• There are some remaining ink in the tubes. Be careful that the ink is not spilled from the
tube outlet onto the printer or items close to the printer.
• If you need to operate the printer with the cover removed for maintenance, be careful not
to get hurt by the driving parts.
• Never lube the printer mechanism with lube other than that designated by MUTOH. Doing
so may damage the parts or shorten the lifetime.
• If the power board assembly needs to be removed, remove the power cable and wait for
5 minutes or more before taking it out; this will discharge the residual electrical charge of
the electrolytic capacitor.
Touching the board before the capacitor discharges may cause electric shock.
• When connecting or removing an FFC type cable on a main board assembly connector,
make sure to connect or remove the cable perpendicular to the connector.
Connecting or removing at a slant angle may damage, break or shortcircuit the inner
terminal of the connector. That may damage the elements on the board.
• When connecting or removing an FFC type cable on the CR board assembly connector,
make sure to connect or remove the cable perpendicular to the connector.
Connecting or removing at a slant angle may damage, break or shortcircuit the inner
terminal of the connector. That may damage the elements on the board.
• Make sure the followings when performing cutter endurance operation.
• Install usable ink cartridges.
• Make sure media initialization is finished.
Performing cutter endurance operation without an ink cartridge may make the cutter go
down beyond the cutting range and damage the product.
• Make sure the power of the printer is OFF before performing the parameter backup.
Performing the parameter backup with the power ON may damage the main board or the
data may not be installed properly.
• Make sure the power of the printer is OFF before installing the firmware. Installing the
firmware with the power ON may damage the main board assembly or the data may not
be properly installed.
1-4
VJ-1204 Maintenance Manual 1 Safety Instructions
• Make sure there is sufficient space around the printer when performing maintenance
work.
• Maintenance must be done by more than two person for the following work.
• When disassembling or reassembling the product and the optional stand
• When packing the printer for transportation

CAUTION
• When removing the power board assembly, remove the power cable and wait for at least
5 minutes before taking it out; this will discharge the residual electrical charge of the
electrolytic capacitor.
If you handle these boards before the capacitor charge is fully discharged, you may suffer
electric shock.
• To avoid electric shock, never touch the back of the power board.When handling the
power board, take the side of the board.
• To avoid a short circuit, do not place the power board assembly directly on conductive
objects.
NOTE
Before replacing the power board assembly, remove the following parts.
• Rear cover: "4.2.8 Removing Media Guide R2" p.4-15
• Connector panel: "4.3.1 Removing Connector Panel and Cooling Fan" p.4-17

This chapter provides information on the self-diagnosis function.
The self-diagnosis function adjusts the printing accuracy. It is used in the manufacturing process, adjustment,
and maintenance.
The self-diagnosis function is implemented in the system firmware. All functions are available from the
operation panel.
TIP
"2.3 Part Names and Functions" p.2-3
5.2 Preparation
Before you can use the self-diagnosis function, you must make the machine ready to call up the self-diagnosis
menu.
NOTE
• In the self-diagnosis menu display status, the media type is automatically set to roll media.
• During adjustment, use coated paper for the media.
NOTE
Do not connect three or more power plugs to one outlet.
5.2.2 Starting Up
To use the self-diagnosis function, you must first call up the self-diagnosis menu on the operation panel.
The self-diagnosis menu is completely independent of the normal operation mode and self-diagnosis display
mode. To call up the self-diagnosis menu, follow the steps below.

CAUTION
Never provide "MUTOH Maintenance Engineer Assistant" to users because the software

NOTE
When connecting the printer and PC on a one-to-one basis, use a "crossover cable". When connecting
the printer and PC via hub, use a "straight cable".
NOTE
If "waiting for command" is not displayed, follow the steps below.
If IP address that is not default is displayed on the board, releasing [Back] key will display
