1. Maintenance Precautions 1. Maintenance Precautions • This machine includes parts that must be replaced periodically. We therefore recommend taking out a maintenance contract. Carry out maintenance periodically and replace consumable items to prevent quality defects and accidents. • Clean periodically. Debris and dust will accumulate on electrical components when the machine is used for extended periods.
Items Required for Maintenance To order replacement consumable items, contact your local dealer or our service office. For more information on consumable items, refer to our website (https://mimaki.com/supply/inkjet.html). • Do not store consumable items in locations where children may enter.
2. Maintenance Methods Ink Maintenance If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the ink periodically to keep printing consistent. Once every three days. • Shake taking care that the ink eco-cases do not become detached from the ink supply unit. Ink may leak out if the ink eco-cases become detached.
2. Maintenance Methods Clean the cap rubber. • Wipe off any ink and dust adhering using a cleaning stick moistened with maintenance liquid. Wipe off the maintenance liquid. Make sure none remains. • Clean the areas indicated in red in the diagram (the entire interior and exterior of the cap rubber, the tabs, and the mesh retainers).
2. Maintenance Methods Clean around the print head. • Wipe off any ink and dust adhering using a cleaning stick moistened with maintenance liquid. Wipe off the maintenance liquid.
