Setting position
• The belt encoder unit to feed the media correctly is attached on the right side of the media feeding
part. Be careful not to make the media hanging over the position of 25mm from the right edge of the
media feeding part.
• If you print with the media hanging over the belt encoder unit, the media cannot be fed correctly, and
it may adversely affect the printing quality. Be careful especially when using wider media (the media
with 1800mm and more width).
Precautions in handling the fabric
Here, procedures and precautions in handling the usable fabric are explained.
Fully understand the contents and use depending on the kind or the characteristic of fabric.
• Use pre-processed fabric recommended by MIMAKI.
• When setting the fabric, be sure to adjust the head height. Other wise, the fabric and/or the head can
be damaged.
• Do not use fabric with curled edges. Use of such a fabric may cause contact with the print head
nozzle, resulting in inferior ink discharge.
• Do not use fabric whose edges are remarkably loose in comparison with the center. Crease occurs at
the fixing section, which may come into contact with the head nozzle face.
• Thick hard fabric cannot be used for unattended operation. When using a denim-like fabric, skew
check must be performed by the operator. Once skew starts, the self-restoration action of the fabric
itself is disabled. If the fabric is neglected, skew advances to the right or left end of the belt which may
cause head jam.
• Brushed fabric is unavailable for Fabric edge guide. The peeling sensor react to the brushed part, and
not able to feed fabric properly.
Limited media
With the following media, correction from the plotter is difficult.
When using any of the following media, perform test printing to determine whether it can be used or not.
• Hight stretch fabric (Stretch materials, vertically extendable knit,etc.)
• Materials which become largely extendable when getting wet by printing.
• Materials with large width variations.
• Materials which present partial wrinkles of slacks when being spread on a flat surface or materials which are
totally curved.
• Materials with large take-up shift at the ends of media when rolled.
• Roll media with a paper tube whose strength is insufficient and which bends when attached to a feeding unit.
• Even when using media other than described above, be sure to print by optional test data. After
checking the printing result, judge whether it can be used or not.
