Precautions for use
CAUTION
Warning labels
• Warning labels are adhered on this machine.
Be sure to fully understand the warnings given
on the labels. In the case where any of the
warning label has become so soiled that the
warning message is illegible or has come off,
purchase a new one from your local distributor
or our office.
Ink bottles
• If the ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a
warm place, leave it in a place of use for three
hours or more and use it.
• Open the ink bottle just before installing.
Leaving it open for a long time will cause
abnormal printing.
• Be sure to store ink bottles in a cold and dark
place.
• Once the ink opened, be sure to use ink up
early. The ink passed for a long time after
opening the bottle will lower the printing
quality.
• Using other than exclusive ink will break this
machine. In this case, repairing of this
machine is your responsibility.
• Never refill the ink bottle with ink.
• Do not pound the ink bottle nor shake it
violently. If so, ink may leak out of the bottle.
Protection against dust
• It is strongly recommended to use the
machine in a room that is not dusty.
Set the Refresh level 2 or 3 when in bad
environment.
• When leaving the work place after the working
hours, be sure to remove media from the
printer.If any media is left on the printer, dust
can put on it.
• Store media not to put dust on it. Wiping dust
off the media, dust will be put on the media
due to static electricity.
• Due to the dust on the head, ink drops will fall
down on the media during printing. If so, be
sure to clean up the head.
Handling of cleaning solution
• Be sure to store the cleaning solution in a cold
and dark place. Store the cleaning solution in
a place that is out of the reach of children.
Handling the antifreeze liquid
• Be sure to store the antifreeze liquid in a cold
and dark place.
• Store the antifreeze liquid in a place that is out
of the reach of children.
Hot parts
• The LED UV and the interior of the UV
irradiation device will have a very high
temperature. When carrying out maintenance,
wait until the temperature has been sufficiently
lowered after the lamp is turned OFF.
• When it is unavoidable to touch hot parts, be
sure to wear heat-insulating gloves to protect
your hands
UV light
• LED UV devices are classified as Risk Group
3 according to IEC62471/IECTR62471-2.
• A little UV light spills around the LED UV unit.
UV light applied to your skin might cause
inflammation and/or skin cancer.
Even weak UV light causing no inflammation
may lead to chronic disorders by repeated
exposure. Avoid applying UV light to your skin
and eyes.
• Impairment of eyes caused by UV light may be
acute disorders, pain in eyes, tearing, chronic
disorders, cataract, etc.
When using this machine, protect your body
such as gloves, long-sleeve cloth, light-
resistant mask, attached light-resistant
glasses, etc.
Notes on LED UV
• When handling the glass on the bottom of the
LED UV unit, be sure to wear the gloves
attached and never touch them with bare
hands. Or the UV ink curing level may
significantly lower. If the glass becomes dirty,
wipe it with clean gauze moistened with
alcohol. (Do not use alcohol for cleaning the
exterior cover, or the paint will peel off.)
• The LED UV performance and service life are
significantly affected by the UV irradiation and
UV power supply units used. Never use those
UV devices other than those recommended by
Mimaki. We would take no responsibility for
any troubles caused through the use of a UV
devices not recommended by Mimaki.
Cleaning
• After using this machine long time, foreign
materials and dust may be gathered on the
conductive and insulating parts, causing
electric leakage. Periodically clean such parts.
• For cleaning, do not use compressed air
because it scatters foreign materials and dust,
which may cause malfunctions when put
inside the conductive parts. Be sure to use
vacuum cleaner to vacuum off foreign
materials and dust.
• Do not use the machine in a place where there
is a possibility of being wet, or electricity may
leak.
• Electrical leakage may lead to electrical shock
of personnel or fire.
• To prevent accidents, be sure to carry out
periodic inspections and replace periodic
replacement parts.
