Cautions on Installation
Safety interlock
This machine is equipped with interlocks to terminate the
operation for your safety when the cover opens during
printing etc. (red circle parts in the figure below).
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.
