Precautions in use
Securing the device with level foot
• Be sure to use the product with
the level foot lowered.
The device can move out of
position.
Protection against dust, waste paper and
flocks
• Keep the front cover held
closed also when the device is
not engaged in printing. If not,
dust can accumulate on the
head nozzle.
• When leaving the workshop
after the working hours, be
sure to remove any fabric from
the roll hanger. If any fabric is
left on the roll hanger, dust can
gather on it.
• Store fabric in a bag. Wiping
off dust, waste paper and
flocks accumulated on a fabric
will adversely affect the fabric
due to static electricity.
• Frequently wipe the capping
station clean to eliminate dust
and paper chips. Wiping with a
fluffy wiper only rubs dust over
the capping station. Replace
the fluffy wiper immediately
with a new one.
• Dust, waste paper and flocks in
the head will also cause drops
of ink to fall abruptly down on
the fabric during printing. If
this phenomenon takes place,
be sure to clean up the head.
(See “Cleaning ink heads” in
chapter 2)
Periodic exchange parts
• There are some parts which
must be replaced by service
men after Tx3-1600 are in use
for 5000 hours from 3000
hours.
Therefore, we would like to
suggest that you make a
contract with distributors or
dealers for after-sale service.
Fabric
• Use specific fabric designated
fabric exclusive to Tx3-1600.
Mimaki assumes no
responsibility for any damage
caused by the use of any fabric
other than the afore-mentioned
one.
• If fabric that is likely to tightly
curl, flatten first the fabric
before using it for printing.
Heavily-curled fabric affect the
plotted picture quality.
Warning labels
• This device is adhered with a
warning label at two locations.
Be sure to fully understand the
warnings given on the labels. In
the case where any of the
warning label has become so
soiled that the warning
message is illegible or has
come off, purchase a new one
from your local distribu-tor or
our office. Refer to Appendix
for the label adhering locations.
