• Store ink bottles and waste ink bottles in a
place that is out of the reach of children.
• If you get ink on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with detergent or
water. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately
wash your eyes with a lot of clean water, and
then consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Dispose of waste ink according to the local
regulations of the area where the machine
isused.
ix
Safety Precautions
Notes on maintenance
• When handling ink and cleaning solution, pay
close attention to ventilation and be sure to
wear the included safety glasses and gloves.
• The gloves supplied with the machine are
disposable. When all the gloves are
expended, purchase an equivalent product on
the market.
• Before using ink and cleaning solution, be
sure to read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• Keep ink away from an open flame. Also keep
the room well ventilated when you use or
handle ink.
• If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash
your eyes thoroughly with a lot of clean water
for at least 15 minutes. Then, consult a doctor
as soon as possible.
• If anyone drinks ink by mistake, keep him or
her quiet and see a doctor immediately. Do not
allow him or her to swallow the vomit. Then
contact the emergency number written on the
SDS.
• If you inhale a great deal of vapor and feel ill,
immediately move to a location with plenty of
fresh air, and keep yourself warm and quiet.
Consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• If the ink adheres to your skin, use a large
amount of water and soap or special detergent
for skin to remove the ink.
Periodic replacement parts
• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with new ones
periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a
contract with your distributor or dealer for After sale service
to ensure a long life of your machine.
Protection of media from dust
• Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated on media
will adversely affect the media due to static electricity.
• When leaving the workshop after the working hours, do not
leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on the
roll hanger, it can get dusty.
Clump lever
• Never raise the lever during printing. Raising the lever will
abort printing.
Notes on maintenance
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room
that is not dusty.
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall
suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a case,
be sure to clean up the heads.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the
capping station and wiper frequently.
WARNING
Handling ink bottles
• The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that the ink
recommended by this company is used. For safe usage of
this machine, use the ink recommend by this company.
• Never refill the ink bottles with ink. Refilled ink cartridge can
cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes no
responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink
cartridge replenished with ink.
• If an ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a warm place,
leave it at room temperature for at least three hours before
using it.
• Open the ink bottle just before installing it in the machine. If it
is opened and left for an extended period of time, normal
printing performance of the machine may not be ensured.
• Make sure to store ink bottles in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink bottles and waste ink bottles in a place that is out
of the reach of children.
• Once an ink bottle is opened, be sure to thoroughly
consume the ink within three months. If an extended period
of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank,
printing quality would be poor.
• Do not pound ink bottles or shake them violently. Doing so
could cause the ink to leak.
• Consult with your sales or service representative regarding
the proper disposal of ink bottles and waste ink. When you
dispose them by yourself, follow the regulations stipulated
by the industrial waste disposer or the country or region you
live in.
Handling of media
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable,
high-quality printing.
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the media.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The media
can be affected by the room temperature and humidity, and
thus it may expand and contract. The media have to be left
in the atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30
minutes or more after unpacked.
• Do not use curled media.
The use of curled media can not only cause a media jam but
also affect print quality.
Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled, before
using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated sheet of media
is rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
Disposition of this machine
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper
disposal of this machine. Otherwise, commission an
industrial waste disposal company.
