Cautions And Notes - MIMAKI TS30-1300 Operation Manual

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Handling of ink cartridges
• Use the TS30 genuine ink. Remember that the user
shall be filled for a repair to correct any damage
resulting from the use of ink other than the
exclusive type.
• The machine does not operate with any ink other
than the TS30 genuine ink.
• Do not use the TS30 genuine ink with other printers,
as doing so may cause damage to such machines.
• Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilled 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
machine. If it is opened and left for an extended
period of time, normal printing performance of the
machine may not be ensured.
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool 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.

Warning
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.
• 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.
