Guide to Components of the Finisher

Basic Usage of the Finisher

CAUTION

A parent or guardian must be present if infants, children, or people who need assistance use the machine, and they should be very careful when using it. Otherwise, injury or burns may result.
The finisher has “Standard mode”, “Professional mode”, and “Professional 2 mode”.

Standard mode
The factory-default setting is standard mode. The finisher has the following functions to prevent children from touching the inside of the finisher accidentally when it is very hot.

When the inside of the finisher exceeds 70 °C (158 °F), the front cover locks. To open the front cover, press the [Stop/ Unlock] key for at least 1 second.
The surface of the heater and the fabric are not in contact with each other during the fixing process, so the surface of the heater does not become dirty.

Professional mode

To use this mode, switch from standard mode. As this mode is for users who are accustomed to using the finisher, the front cover does not lock even when the temperature of the inside of the finisher exceeds 70 °C (158 °F). However, during press processing and fixing processing, the front cover locks regardless of whatever mode is used to prevent erroneous operations. The surface of the heater and the fabric are not in contact with each other during the fixing process, so the surface of the heater does not become dirty.

Professional 2 mode
This mode minimizes the loss of color when T-shirts are washed. To use this mode, switch from professional mode. As this mode is for users who are accustomed to using the finisher, the front cover does not lock even when the temperature of the inside of the finisher exceeds 70 °C (158 °F). However, during press processing and fixing processing, the front cover locks regardless of whatever mode is used to prevent erroneous operations. The surface of the heater and the fabric are in contact with each other during the fixing process, so regular cleaning of the surface of the heater is necessary. Refer to Operating Instructions for cleaning frequency and precautions.

How to Switch Modes
Press the [Temperature] key and [Time] key simultaneously for at least 2 seconds.
Unlock Cover
When set to standard mode, press the [Stop/ Unlock] key for at least 1 second.
The operating mode changes as follows.
When set to professional mode, it is not necessary to hold down the [Stop/Unlock] key.

Operating Procedure

Perform the procedures in the order of 1, 2, 3, and then 4. The following settings and procedures are examples of major fabrics. Depending on your environment, discoloration may occur or the ink may not be fixed prop-erly. Before configuring the settings, check the fixability of the fabric you use.

Preparation

Loading the fabric in the tray
For details, refer to the User’s Guide provided with the printer Ri 100. You can shorten the processing time by putting a garment in the tray while preheating the finisher.
