Safety Precautions
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. (Model with a built-in heater)
Set the temperature of the Post-heater according to
the type and characteristics of the media used.
Automatic t
• 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.
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 recommended
by this company
• Never refill the ink pack with ink. Refilled ink pack can
cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes no
responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the
ink pack replenished with ink.
• If the ink pack 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 pack 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 pack,
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.
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper
disposal of ink pack, 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.

Warning Warning
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, be sure to
wear the included safety glasses and gloves.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of
the capping station and wiper frequently.
