Periodically Care (Once A Week) - MIMAKI Tx300P-1800 Care And Maintenance

9. Periodically care (Once a week)

Users are advised to perform the maintenance works described below once a week so that the printer will
keep its high performance and accuracy over an extended period of its life.
(1) Platen ("Cleaning the Platen" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
When printing on rough cloth, some of the ink passes
through the cloth and adhere to the platen.
If the ink stains are conspicuous, clean the adhered ink
along with "Operation Manual".
Continuing to use the media while it is dirty may cause
media to be fed incorrectly, or rubbing dirt or solid ink onto
the head nozzle surface, resulting in discharge failure (noz-
zle clogging, deflection, etc.).
• Turn off the main power and unplug the power
cable before maintenance.
• Do not allow liquids to enter the machine. There is
a risk of equipment failure, electric shock, or fire.
• If the dirt is noticeable, use a soft cloth soaked in
a neutral detergent diluted with water, wrung
out,and then wiped off.
• Before cleaning the platen, make sure that the
platen has cooled adequately.
• The groove that slides the media press and the
groove that cuts the media are particularly easy to
collect dust. Please carefully remove the dust.
(2) Folding bar("Cleaning folding bar (take-up side)" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
Remove ink blot etc. adhering to the lapal bar located on the
front surface of the machine and used at takingup the media.
Moisten soft cloth with water or waterish mild detergent,
squeeze tightly and then wipe it off.
