•
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.
•
Do not use the heater.
Waviness may occur on the media and it may cause media clogging.
•
Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of the media.
•
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 1 day or more after unpacked.
•
Do not use curled media.
This may result in paper jamming.
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 media.
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.
