CAUTIONS and NOTES
CAUTIONS and NOTES
Handling of ink cartridges
 Use the JV5 genuine ink. Remember that the user shall be charged for a repair to correct any damage resulting from
the use of ink other than the exclusive type.
 The printer does not operate with any ink other than the JV5 genuine ink.
 Do not use the JV5 genuine ink with other printers, as doing so may cause damage to such printers.
 Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilling the 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 the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature for three hours or
more before using it.
 Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the printer. If it is opened and left for an extended period of time, nor-
mal printing performance of the printer may not be ensured.
 Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cold and dark place.
 Store ink cartridges and waste ink tank in a place that is out of the reach of children.
 Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within three months. If an extended
period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would be poor.
 Neither pound the ink cartridge nor shake it violently, as doing so can cause leakage of ink.
 Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
 Waste ink is equivalent to waste oil of industrial waste. Request an industrial waste disposal company for disposal of
waste ink.
Front cover and lever
 Never open the front cover or raise the lever during printing. Opening the cover or raising the lever will abort printing.
Handling of media
 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 preheater, print heater and post-heater according to the type and characteristics of the media
used. 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.
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.
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.
