Cautions And Notes - MIMAKI tx300p Operation Manual

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Warning
Disposition of this machine
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal
of this machine. Otherwise, commission an industrial waste
disposal company.
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.
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.
Handling of media
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-
quality printing.
Handling of media
• 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.
Handling of ink packs
• The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that the ink
recommended by this company is used. For safe usage of this
machine, use the ink recommend by this company
• Never refill the ink pack and white 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 packs in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink packs and waste ink bottle 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 cartridge nor shake it violently, as doing so
can cause leakage of ink.
Warning
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal
of ink cartridge, ink pack, and waste ink.
When you dispose them by yourself, follow the regulations
stipulated by the industrial waste disposer or the country or
region you live in.
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
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. ( P.4-14)
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear
the attached gloves and goggles.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the
capping station and wiper frequently.
