Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining large format printers. Only trained and authorized personnel may use the equipment, following the manufacturer’s operating manuals. Pre-start checks include ensuring the printer is connected to an earthed and RCD-protected outlet, verifying that all covers and guards are in place, and inspecting power leads for damage.

Operational guidelines emphasize avoiding loose clothing, long hair, or jewelry near moving parts, using team lifting techniques or mechanical aids for heavy components, and keeping ventilation openings clear. Drying and curing subsystems operate at high temperatures, posing risks of burns and electric shock. Cleaning and maintenance require disconnecting the power supply, using gloves to handle ink cartridges and print heads, and referring servicing tasks to qualified personnel. Following these protocols ensures safety and efficient operation of large format printers.
