13. Notes for working environment
Performing frequency of the print setting or maintenance is greatly influenced by the printing environment or
the condition of the media used. Use this machine with a full understanding of the followings.
Working environment Consideration
In the gritty and dusty place
 To keep the nozzle face clean, set to wipe periodically every time it
prints about 1500 mm. (Operation Manual Chapter 4 "Cleaning noz-
zle face automatically”)
 Change the setting of periodic wiping depending on the amount of
dust.
When the head gap is set wide
because fibers stick out of media
 UV light can expose the nozzle when there is a lot of scattered mist.
Raise the refreshing level for drawing (Operation Manual Chapter 3
"Other useful settings"), and set the periodic wiping ( Operation
Manual Chapter 4 "Cleaning nozzle face automatically").
 Increase performing frequency of every maintenance.
When the media that reflects UV
light well is used such as glasses
or glazed metal
When there is an infrequently-
used ink (print head)
 An infrequently-used print head can be unstable to discharge ink
comparing with the other print heads. Raise the refreshing level for
drawing (Operation Manual Chapter 3 "Other useful settings") to
raise the usage rate of the head.
When printing on the media on
which static can be charged
 Put humidifiers on to avoid charge. Static may collect mist or dust
around the printing area or the head. To print continuously for a long
time, set the periodic wiping. (Operation Manual Chapter 4 "Clean-
ing nozzle face automatically")
When printing in a dry place
(such as in winter)
When printing on a markedly
uneven media (or object)
 To keep the head gap the same, set extra media outside the suction
area where a printing media is set. Leaving the head that has been
degraded by reflected light may cause failure that needs replacing of
the head.
