Carriage; Capping Station; Ink Status Lamp - MIMAKI JFX550-2513 Operation Manual

Chapter 1 Before Use

Carriage

The carriage incorporates print heads that discharge ink, a UV-LED lamp for curing UV ink, and a jam sensor
that stops the carriage in case of media jamming. Printing occurs as ink is ejected while traversing left and
right.
• Be sure to use the UV safety glasses provided. Disregarding this precaution may result in eye
pain or damage to eyesight.

Capping station

The capping station includes caps for keeping the print head nozzle surface from drying out, a wiper required
for print head maintenance, and an NCU for monitoring print head nozzle conditions.
The NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) automatically checks whether the nozzle is clogged. Setting various functions
allows automatic print head cleaning or printing using other nozzles.

Ink status lamp

You can check the status of the ink by looking at the lamp on the ink supply unit.
