Precautions for use

CAUTION
Warning labels

• Warning labels adhere on this machine. Be sure to fully understand the warnings given on the labels. In the case where any of the warning labels has become so soiled that the warning message is illegible or has come off, purchase a new one from your local distributor or our office.

Ink bottles

• If the ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in a place of use for three hours or more and use it.
• Open the ink bottle just before installing. Leaving it open for a long time will cause abnormal printing.
• Be sure to store ink bottles in a cold and dark place.
• Once the ink is opened, be sure to use ink up early. The ink passed for a long time after opening the bottle will lower the printing quality.

CAUTION

• Using other than exclusive ink will break this machine. In this case, repairing of this machine is your responsibility.
• Never refill the ink bottle with ink.
• Do not pound the ink bottle nor shake it violently. If so, ink may leak out of the bottle.

Protection against dust

• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is not dusty. Set the Refresh level 2 or 3 when in a bad environment.
• Do not forget to close the front cover before going home in the evening. If any media is left on the printer, dust can be put on it.
• Store media not to put dust on it. Wiping dust off the media, dust will be put on the media due to static electricity.

Handling of cleaning solution

• Be sure to store the cleaning solution in a cold and dark place. Store the cleaning solution in a place that is out of the reach of children.

Handling the antifreeze liquid

• Be sure to store the antifreeze liquid in a cold and dark place.
• Store the antifreeze liquid in a place that is out of the reach of children.

Hot parts

• The LED UV device and the hot water will have a very high temperature. When carrying out maintenance, wait until the temperature has been sufficiently lowered after the lamp is turned OFF.
• When it is unavoidable to touch hot parts, be sure to wear heat-insulating gloves to protect your hands.

Power supply

• Leave the breaker turned ON.
• Do not turn off the main power switch on the right side of this machine.

UV light

• A little UV light spills around the LED UV unit. UV light applied to your skin might cause inflammation and/or skin cancer. Even weak UV light causing no inflammation
  may lead to chronic disorders by repeated exposure. Avoid applying UV light to your skin and eyes.

• Impairment of the eyes caused by UV light may be acute disorders, pain in the eyes, tearing, chronic disorders, cataracts, etc. When using this machine, protect your body such as gloves, a long-sleeve cloth, a light-resistant mask, attached light-resistant glasses,  etc.

CAUTION

Notes on LED UV

• When handling the glass on the bottom of the LED UV unit, be sure to wear the gloves attached and never touch them with bare hands. Or the UV ink curing level may
significantly lower. If the glass becomes dirty, wipe it with clean gauze moistened with alcohol. (Do not use alcohol for cleaning the exterior cover, or the paint will peel off.)
• The LED UV performance and service life are significantly affected by the UV irradiation and UV power supply units used. Never use those UV devices other than those recommended by Mimaki. We would take no responsibility for any troubles caused by the use of UV devices not recommended by Mimaki.

Cleaning

• After using this machine long time, foreign materials and dust may be gathered on the conductive and insulating parts, causing electric leakage. Periodically clean such parts.
• For cleaning, do not use compressed air because it scatters foreign materials and dust, which may cause malfunctions when put inside the conductive parts. Be sure to use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum off foreign materials and dust.
• Do not use the machine in a place where there is a possibility of being wet, or electricity may leak.
• Electrical leakage may lead to electrical shock of personnel or fire.
• To prevent accidents, be sure to carry out periodic inspections and replace periodically replacement parts.

Periodic exchange parts

• There are some parts that must be periodically replaced. Contract with distributors or dealers for maintenance.

Adjusting the level

• Keep this machine horizontal.

Firing and smoking

• Touching hot parts such as the LED UV with combustible materials may cause firing and/or smoking. Leaving combustible materials under the LED UV unit for a couple of minutes may also cause firing and/or smoking.

CAUTION

• After this machine is used a long time, foreign materials or dust gathered may cause electrical leakage, or insulation deterioration may cause firing and/or smoking. Periodically
clean this machine and replace the deteriorated parts after the insulation resistance.
• After this machine is used a long time, screws or others on the conductive parts may be loosened, causing firing and/or smoking. Periodically tighten the screws.
• This machine is not an explosion-proof type. Do not use the machine in a flammable atmosphere. There is a danger of explosion.
• If abnormalities such as a strange odor, smoking or a spark burn occurred, turn the power off and call our office immediately.
