2.3 Loading the Media

• Adjust the head height before loading media. Moving the carriage after the media has been
loaded may result in jammed media or damage to the print head.

l Media handling precautions
• Use Mimaki-approved media to ensure consistent high-quality printing.
• Assign at least two people to load roll media. This will reduce the risk of back injury due to the
weight of the roll media.
• Protect media from dust when stored. This will help preserve print quality.
• When storing standard-size media rolled up, store with the coated surface facing out.
• Take precautions to prevent static electricity buildup on media. (e.g., ionizers, discharging bars,
water mist humidification, or alcohol-based anti-static solutions. *Ionizers can be fitted to models
equipped as standard or models for which the option is available. * Do not use anti-static
solutions that contain detergent.)
• Do not leave media loaded in the machine. This may cause dust to collect on media.
• Do not use media immediately after removing from the packaging. The media may expand or
shrink depending on the ambient temperature and humidity at the storage location. Allow to sit
for at least 30 minutes in the same room with the machine before loading.
• Do not use curled media. Doing so may result in jammed media and impaired print quality.
• Do not use media after wiping off dust. The static electricity generated by wiping may impair
print quality.
• Do not use mirrors, polished stainless steel plate, or gold or silver foil media. Light reflected
from the media surface may result in print head ink hardening and damage to the head. Such
damage is not covered by the warranty.
