CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions Features Features The features of the printer are described below. Understanding them together with the operating instructions given in this manual will help you use the machine properly. A new generation of print heads arranged in 4 staggered rows realize high-res- olution super-high-speed printing Newly developed print heads each of which has 1,440 nozzles (180 nozzle x 8 rows) are employed and 1- inch heads are arranged in four rows staggered from each other, realizing 4-inch print head width.
Page 21 CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions Features Easy maintenance The automatic capping system for the heads eliminates the need of head cleaning before turning off the power. Nozzles can be unclogged by performing the cleaning function. If the printer is not in use for a prolonged period of time, it automatically performs nozzle clogging preven- tive operation at fixed intervals.
Page 22 CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions Features The nozzle missing automatic detection function reduces waste of media and ink that could be caused by faulty printing The printer automatically checks the printing result for nozzle missing after cleaning and during printing. And if necessary, it requires another cleaning or interruption of printing to prevent a waste of media and ink.

Page 26: Moving The Printer
When the printer is to be moved to any place other than on the same step-free floor, contact your distributor or a sales office of MIMAKI. If you move it by yourself, failure or damage may occur. Be sure to request your distributor or a sales office of MIMAKI to move the printer.
Page 27: Power Supply Connection
Single-phase 200 to 240 Vac 15 A or less (cannot be used with 100 V system) You are not allowed to install the printer by yourself. Be sure to request MIMAKI’s service personnel and an electrician to install the printer. For the power supply to the main body of the printer, electrical work is required as described below.
Page 28: Warning For Use
Check first that the machine no longer produces smoke, and then contact your distributor or a sales office of MIMAKI for repair. Never repair your printer by yourself since it is very dangerous for you to do so.

CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions Basic specifications Notes on USB 2.0 Interface Your RIP must be compatible with USB 2.0. When two or more JV5 printers are connected to one personal computer When two or more JV5 printers are connected to one personal computer, the personal computer may not recognize all the JV5 printers normally.
Page 37 CHAPTER 1 Safety Precautions Basic specifications Notes on data output from USB memory When spool data stored on USB memory is to be output for printing, the data is transferred to the JV5 printer at a low speed. That can cause the head unit to stop temporarily at the right or left end during print- ing.

CHAPTER 3 Print Output Operating the heaters What is beading ? Beading is a phenomenon that adjacent dots attracts each other and join. Beading causes speckled patterns or stripes along printing passes (banding.) Example of beading The area in 100% magenta looks fine. Generally, the area in 70-100% single color is easily affected by the unevenness of media feed rate.
Page 97: Temperature Adjustment
CHAPTER 3 Print Output Operating the heaters Temperature adjustment This section describes the procedure for setting the heater temperatures properly. The proper heater tem- peratures depend on the media type and ambient temperature. Set temperatures that are appropriate to the media. For non-coated media or media on which ink is slow to dry, set the heater temperatures so that the ink fixing and drying characteristics will be improved.

CHAPTER 3 Print Output Correcting the media feed rate [MEDIA COMP.] Correcting the media feed rate [MEDIA COMP.] The media feed rate changes when the media type or any heater temperature is changed, or depending on whether the take-up device is used or not. Be sure to correct the media feed rate. If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may appear on the print, thus resulting in a poor print.
Page 107 CHAPTER 3 Print Output Correcting the media feed rate [MEDIA COMP.] By judging from the output pattern, enter a correction value using the [ ] or [ ] key. A change of the value of [VALUE] by 6 will move the band by about 0.01 mm. Remember this when determining the correction value.
