4. 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.
5. Storage of media
Media should be stored in the little dust area, and not in direct sunlight. Avoid storing the media in the area
with high temperature and high humidity.
6. Storage of ink bottle
Be careful of the followings to store.
• Store the ink bottle in no direct sunlight, and no high humidity.
• As it's a delicate product, do not drop it.
• Ink IC should not be contaminated and discharged static electricity.
• Be sure to store the ink bottle and the ink IC together.
Working environment Consideration
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
"Setting of REFRESH"), and set the automatic maintenance (
Operation Manual Chapter 4 “Automatic Maintenance”).

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
infrequentlyused 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 "Setting of REFRESH") to
raise the usage rate of the head.
When printing on the media on
which static can be charged

Please take a sufficient antistatic such as using the optional ionizer
or putting a humidifier. Static may collect mist or dust around the
printing area or the head. To print continuously for a long time, set
the automatic maintenance. (Operation Manual Chapter 4
“Automatic Maintenance”)
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, please fill the gap by setting media
which do not use 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.
