Capping Station; The Pinch Roller And The Feed Roller - MIMAKI JV3-160S Operation Manual

Capping station

• When cleaning the capping station, be sure to wear the supplied goggle and
gloves since you may get ink in your eyes.
The capping station consists of ink caps, wipers for cleaning the heads, etc.
Cap : It covers the nozzle so as to prevent the head nozzle from drying up.
Wiper : It is used to clean the head nozzle.
The wipers are consumable parts. If the wiper is deformed or the medium is stained, replace the
wiper with a new one.

The pinch roller and The feed roller

• While the device is not being used, keep the pinch roller in the upper posi-
tion. If the pinch roller is left lowered for an extended period of time, it can
deform and fail to securely retain the medium.
This device retains a medium with the pinch roller and the feed roller.
During plotting operation, the feed roller feeds the medium forward.
