Caution in handling of medias


Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.

• When handling media, wear the gloves.


If you touch the media with your bare hand, the media may be stained due to fingerprints or oil of your
finger. Be careful about it.
3
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
Waviness may occur on the media and it may cause media clogging.
When the pinch roller is at the lower position, even if it is for a short time, impression produced by the
pinch roller is left depending on the media material. Perform test feeding ( P.2-18) to check the
media status.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of the media.
• Set the temperature of the Pre-heater, Print heater and Post-heater according to the type and
characteristics of the media used.
4
Automatic temperature setting can be made on the operation panel by setting the profile on the
dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, refer to the instruction manual for your RIP.
• 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.
This may result in paper jamming.
5
If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
• Be careful to dusts on the edge face of the medium.
Some rolls have dusts contained in the package gathered on the edge surface of the roll. If you use as
it is, the drawing quality may be degraded due to nozzle missing or ink drops. Be sure to set the roll
after removing dusts adhering on the edge face of the roll.

• After printing, in case that there is not a margin of more than 600mm from the edge, drying feed
cannot be fully performed. Therefore, please note that some places cannot pass the drying heater,
and drying unevenness and difference in printing quality occur.

Precautions for Maintenance


Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this machine.

• When using maintenance washing liquid for maintenance, be sure to wear the supplied protective
glasses.

• The ink contains organic solvent.When cleaning the machine, be sure to wear gloves so that no ink
will make direct contact with your skin.

• Never disassemble the machine.Disassembling it can result in electric shock hazards or damage to
the machine.
Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power switch and main power switch, and unplug the
power cable;otherwise, an unexpected accident may occur.
• Prevent moisture from entering the machine.Moisture inside the machine can cause electric shock
hazards or damage to the machine.

• To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the machine to eject a small amount of ink (flushing)
regularly when a printing (outputting) operation has not been performed for a long time.
• When the machine is not to be used for a long time, turn off only the power switch on the front side,
leave the main power switch at the side turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the power cable
connected.
• If organic solvent ink is mixed with water or alcohol, coagulation is generated.
Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, wiper, caps, etc. with water or alcohol.Doing so can cause
nozzle clogging or machine failure.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical agent containing an abrasive.Such materials can
deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.
• Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside the machine. Doing so can cause printing failure.
• Be careful that the maintenance washing liquid, ink, etc. not to stick to the cover because this may
cause the surface of the cover to deteriorate or deform.

About Maintenance washing liquid


Use the maintenance washing liquid dedicated for the ink being used.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces


When the exterior surfaces of the machine are stained,
dampen a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent
diluted with water, squeeze it, and wipe the surfaces
with the cloth.

1
Cleaning the Platen
The platen easily gets dirty with lint, paper dust, etc.
generated when a media is cut.
Wipe off conspicuous stains with a soft-hair brush, a dry

1
cloth, a paper towel, etc.

• When the platen is stained with ink, wipe


it off with a paper towel containing a
small amount of maintenance washing

1
liquid for maintenance.

• Before cleaning the platen, make sure that the platen has cooled adequately.
• Because dust and dirt are easily accumulated in the slots for holding a media and cutting paper (cutter
slot), be sure to clean these parts carefully.

Cleaning of after heater cover and pre heater cover


The after heater cover and the pre heater cover are easy to be dirty because of the powder of the medium etc. 4
If it shows dirt, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in water or waterish mild detergent and wrung.
Routine Maintenance

After heater cover Pre heater cover

Maintenance

Cleaning the Media Sensor


The media sensors are located on the platen in the backside and the bottom surface of the head. When the
sensor is covered with dust, etc., it may cause false detection of media.
Using a cotton swab, remove the dust, etc. accumulated on the surface of the sensor.

When cleaning the sensor on the lower surface of the head is cleaned, move the carriage to the left end by the
operations of step 1 of P.4-16 “Cleaning the Head and the Area around It (every day)”, and then clean it.

The backside of the machine The lower surface of the head

Media sensor Media sensor

Cleaning the Media Holder


When the media holder is covered with lint, dust, etc., a media cannot be fed normally during printing or dust
sticks to the nozzles, which may result in abnormal printing.
Clean the media holder regularly.

Media press

Maintaining the Capping Station
Maintain the ink cap, wiper, etc. located in the capping station. (SATION MAINT.)
• To keep the nozzle status normal, perform wiper cleaning
frequently. C l e a n i n g WI P ER
• The right message is displayed periodically in LOCAL. When [ MN T ]
you press the MAINT. key, it moves to cleaning function.
The ink cap and wiper function as follows.
• Wiper : It wipes off ink sticking to the head nozzles.
• Ink cap : It prevents the head nozzles from clogging due to dryness.

As the machine is used repeatedly, the wiper and ink cap gradually become dirty with ink, dust, etc.
If nozzle missing cannot be corrected even after head cleaning ( P.2-21) has been performed, use a
maintenance washing liquid LX kit and clean stick.

Tools required for • Maintenance washing liquid LX kit (ML001-Z-K1) • Kimwipe® (SPA-0207)
Maintenance • Clean stick (SPC-0527) • Gloves • Goggles

• Be sure to wear the supplied goggles and gloves when maintaining the capping station.Otherwise,
you may get ink in your eyes.
• Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand.When it is desirable to move the
carriage, press the MAINT. key to execute the carriage-out. ( P.4-5Steps 1 to 2)

Cleaning the Wiper and Cap 1


Ink, dust, or paper waste is pooled on the wiper. To keep stable printing quality, wash the wiper and cap at the
end of the day.
• Further, in the cases as explained below, replace the wiper with the new one.( P.4-32)
Even if you clean the wiper enough, nozzle clogging etc. occurs frequently
When the wiper is deformed
When the stuck ink can not be wiped off
When the warning for wiper replacement is indicated
• When cleaning the wiper, be careful that lint from the clean stick or kimwipe® does not get left on the
1
wiper.Remaining lint may cause image quality to deteriorate.
• Clean the wiper completely until the stained ink on the top Top edge of the film
edge of the wiper film is washed away after soaking the wiper
in the maintenance washing liquid LX for 1-24 hours. It is
recommended to prepare two or more wipers and use them
alternately.
• If cleaning of the wiper is not enough, it may cause nozzle
clogging.
• Do not wash the wiper with other than the Kimwipe® (SPA-
