Media sensor
The media sensor detects the presence of the media and the
media length.
This machine has two media sensors on the platen (in the rear).
Carriage
To the carriage, set an ink head for printing and "LED
pointer" used for detecting the width of media, cutter unit
for media cutting, etc. are built in.
Also, a lever that adjusts the head height is attached to
the thickness of the media. ( P.2-4)
Cutter blade and slot for cutting
The carriage is provided with a cutter unit for cutting off
the media that has been printed on.
The cutter cuts off the sheet of media along the slot for
cutting on the platen.
Capping station
The capping station consists of the ink caps, the wiper for
cleaning the heads, etc.
The ink caps prevent the nozzles in the ink heads from
drying up.
The wiper cleans the nozzles in the heads.
The wiper is consumable.If the wiper is deformed or the
media is stained, replace the wiper with a new one.
Pinch rollers and Feed rollers
This machine retains the media with the pinch rollers and
feed rollers. During printing operation, the feed rollers
feed the media forward.
• When setting a media, be sure to cover the media
sensors located on the rear of the platen. The
media cannot be detected unless it is placed over
the sensor.

• Be sure to wear the attached safety glasses in
cleaning within the capping station to protect your
eyes against ink. Otherwise, you may get ink in
your eyes.
• Keep the pinch rollers lifted up when this machine
is not in use. If the pinch rollers are left lowered
for an extended period of time, they can be
deformed and fail to securely retain the media.
