Cautions And Notes - MIMAKI JV5-130S Operation Manual

CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Handling of ink cartridges
Use the JV5 genuine ink. Remember that the user shall be charged for a repair to correct any damage resulting from
the use of ink other than the exclusive type.
The printer does not operate with any ink other than the JV5 genuine ink.
Do not use the JV5 genuine ink with other printers, as doing so may cause damage to such printers.
Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilling the ink cartridge can cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI
assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridge replenished with ink.
If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature for three hours or
more before using it.
Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the printer. If it is opened and left for an extended period of time, nor-
mal printing performance of the printer may not be ensured.
Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cold and dark place.
Store ink cartridges and waste ink tank in a place that is out of the reach of children.
Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within three months. If an extended
period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would be poor.
Neither pound the ink cartridge nor shake it violently, as doing so can cause leakage of ink.
Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
Waste ink is equivalent to waste oil of industrial waste. Request an industrial waste disposal company for disposal of
waste ink.
Front cover and lever
Never open the front cover or raise the lever during printing. Opening the cover or raising the lever will abort printing.
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.
Set the temperature of the preheater, print heater and after-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.
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 printer in a room that is not dusty. Set the Refresh level 2 or 3 when the printer
is to be used in an unfavorable environment. (Refer to "REFRESH (p.6-10)" )
Keep the front cover closed even when the printer 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. (Refer to "Automatic cleaning (p.3-44)" )
When cleaning the ink station or heads, be sure to wear the supplied goggle and gloves.
Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the capping station and wiper frequently.
Regularly replaced parts
Some parts of this printer 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 printer.
