Caution
About Power Supply Prohibition of Use in a Poorly Ventilated Room
• Do not turn off the main power switch on
the right side of this machine.
• If you get ink in your eyes, immediately
wash your eyes with a lot of clean water for
at least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash
eyes to rinse ink away completely. Then,
consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• If anyone drinks ink by mistake, keep him or
her quiet and see a doctor immediately Do
not allow him or her to swallow the vomit.
After that, contact the Poison Control
Center.
• If you inhale a lot of vapor and feel bad,
immediately move to a location of fresh air
and then keep yourself warm and quiet.
Then, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
About the Heaters
• Do not spill liquid on the platen as this may
cause failure of the heater or firing.
• Do not touch platen heaters with bare hand
while it is hot; otherwise, you can get
burned.
• When the machine is to be moved, wait
until the heater temperature drops
adequately. As a criterion, wait at least 30
minutes after you turn off the power to the
heater. Moving the machine must be limited
to on the same floor where there is no
steps. When the machine is to be moved to
any place other than on the same step-free
floor, contact your distributor or a sales
office of MIMAKI.
• The ink contains organic solvent. If ink has
stuck to your skin or clothes, immediately
wash it off with detergent and water.
How to Handle Ink
Caution about the Moving Parts
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads,
make sure to wear the attached gloves.
Further, when the solvent ink is used, it is
necessary to wear the attached goggles.
• Do not touch the rolling grit roller;
otherwise, you may hurt your fingers or tear
off your finger nails.
• Keep your head and hands away from any
moving parts during a printing or cutting
operation; otherwise, you may get your hair
caught in the machine or get injured.
• Wear proper clothes. (Do not wear loose-fit
clothes or accessories.) Also, bind a long
hair.
About Media
• Straighten the sheet of media, if
significantly curled, before using it for
printing. Heavily curled sheet affects the
printing or cutting result.
About the Cutter
• Do not touch the cutter blade, which is very
sharp.
• Do not shake or swing the cutter holder;
otherwise, the blade may come off.
