Safety Precautions

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Handling of ink bottles
• Use the SIJ-320UV 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 SIJ-
320UV genuine ink.
• Do not use the SIJ-320UV genuine ink with other printers, as
doing so may cause damage to such machines.
• Never refill the ink bottle with ink. Refilled ink bottle can cause a
trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes no responsibility for
any damage caused by the use of the ink bottle replenished with
ink.
• If the ink bottle 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 bottle just before using it. 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 bottles in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink bottles 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 bottle, once it
is opened, within three months. If an extended period of time
has passed away after opening the ink bottle, printing quality
would be poor.
• Neither pound the ink bottle nor shake it violently, as doing so
can cause leakage of ink.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the IC chip, 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.
• Do not discard to natural water systems (river, lake, etc.) and
domestic sewages (toilet, washstand, road, etc.).
Front cover and lever
• Never open the front cover or raise the lever during printing.
Handling of media
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-
quality printing.
• Set the temperature of the Pre-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.
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
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 machine in a room that is
not dusty.
• Keep the front cover closed even when the machine 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.
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear
the attached gloves.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the
capping station and wiper frequently.
Periodic replacement parts
• Some parts of this machine 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 machine.
Disposition of this machine
• When discarding this machine, request the treatment of it for an
industrial waste disposal contractor.
• Treat it properly in compliance with regulation in the local area.
