Cautions on Installation
Periodic replacement parts
• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one
periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a contract
with your distributor or dealer for After sale service to ensure a
long life of your machine.
Disposition of this machine
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal
of this machine. Otherwise, commission an industrial waste
disposal company.
Protection of media from dust
• Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated on media will
adversely affect the media due to static electricity.
• When leaving the workshop after the working hours, do not
leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on the roll
hanger, it can get dusty.

Notes on maintenance
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is
not dusty.
• Keep the front cover closed even when the machine is not
printing. If not, dust can accumulate on the nozzles in the
heads.
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall suddenly
down on the media during printing. In such a case, be sure to
clean up the heads. ( P.5-10)
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear
the attached gloves. Further, when the solvent ink is used, it is
necessary to wear the attached goggles.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the
capping station and wiper frequently.
Handling of media
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-
quality printing.
• Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of the
media. (Model with a built-in heater)
Set the temperature of the Pre-heater, Print heater and Post-
heater according to the type and characteristics of the media
used. Automatic temperature setting can be made on the
operation panel by setting the profile on the dedicated RIP. For
setting on the RIP, refer to the instruction manual for your RIP.
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the media.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The media can
be affected by the room temperature and humidity, and thus it
may expand and contract.The media have to be left in the
atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30 minutes or more
after unpacked.
• Do not use curled media.
The use of curled media can not only cause a media jam but
also affect print quality.
Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled, before
using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is
rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
