MIMAKI Tx500P-3200DS Operation Manual page 9

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.
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.
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.
• Disposition of this machine
Handling of ink bottles
• Use the Tx500P 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
Tx500P genuine ink.
• Do not use the Tx500P genuine ink with other printers, as doing
so may cause damage to such machines.
• 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 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 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. This may
cause damages on printed circuit boards.
• Waste ink is equivalent to waste oil of industrial waste. Request
an industrial waste disposal company for disposal of waste ink.
Handling of media
• Use the recommended media.
Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-
quality printing.
• Set the temperature of the Print heater and Post-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 day 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.
