When this machine is connected to the personal computer to an externally installed USB hard disk drive , the data output speed to this machine may drop. That can cause the head unit to stop temporarily at the right or left end during printing.
Connecting the power cable
• Use only the supplied power cable.
• Be sure to connect the power cable plug to the grounded outlet, or it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Take care not to damage, break or work upon the power cable. Or if putting a heavy thing on, heating, or pulling the power cable, the power cable can break to cause fire or electric shocks.

Cautions when setting ink cartridges
When setting ink cartridges, be careful of the followings.
• Check the ink slot number, then insert correct color ink cartridges.
• Insert the ink cartridges to the end of the slot. And do not insert/ pull out the cartridges roughly.
• Insert the cartridge facing up the IC chip.
• For the ink cartridge replacement, see the following page.

Cautions when handling ink cartridges
• Use the recommended ink cartridge by Mimaki.
• Do not touch the ink directly. When ink sticks on skins, wash it with soapy water immediately then rinse it off with water fully. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with a lot of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the eyes to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Store ink cartridge in a dark and cold place.
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in a place of using this machine for more than three hours before using it.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within six months. If an extended period of time has passed after opening the cartridge, drawing quality would be poor.
• Store ink cartridges in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• When discarding unused ink cartridges, entrust them to an industrial waste disposal contractor, clarifying their contents.
• Some component (photoinitiator) of the ink is toxic against aquatic organisms. Avoid leakage of it to natural water system or domestic waste water.
• Do not use ink cartridges expired the date noted on them.
• Before using an ink cartridge, be sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Do not shake the ink cartridge violently. Shaking or turning it toughly can cause leakage of ink.
• Never disassemble the ink cartridge.
• 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.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge. This may cause damages on printed circuit boards.
• Do not disassemble the ink cartridges.

Caution when handling the media
Carefully observe the followings to avoid a break of this machine or inferior printing.
• Expansion and contraction of the media
Do not use sheet types of media immediately after unpacking.
The media can expand and contract due to room temperature and humidity.
The media have to e left in the atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30 minutes or more after unpacked.
• Heater temperature
Set the temperature of the pre-heater and the print heater according to the type and characteristics of the media used.
Do not use the heater setting when rigid media is used.
• Absorption of media
In order to fix the media, block the absorption holes on the table, which can not be covered with media, with other media thinner than those to be used.
• When rigid media (board) is used
Some heavy media may not be fed correctly. For the usable media, contact a distributor in your district or our office.
• Curling of media
Rigid media should be flat. If it is slightly curled, use the one curled downward (swelled at the center) with the drawing surface facing up. Media curled upward may not be absorbed to the platen. When storing media that is easily curled, place them on a base or pallet slightly smaller than the media area so that the media will be curled downward during storage.
• Other notes
a Do not put anything on coated media. Some coated media may fox.
b Curled media not wholly absorbed or those that go out of alignment during table movement cannot be used. They may be made available when they are fixed on the table with adhesive tape, etc.

About antistatic sheet
The antistatic sheet is used to prevent the media from clinging due to static.
Use this when the media clings due to static and it influences the media feeding.
For the attaching procedure, refer to the setup manual attached with the antistatic sheet.
• Depending on the media type or the used environment, clinging cannot be improved even if you use the antistatic sheet. In such a case, contact a distributor in your district or our office to call for service.

Maintaining
Cleaning exterior surfaces
If exterior surfaces of the machine is dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent diluted with water, squeeze it and wipe the surfaces.
Cleaning the platen
The platen is easy to become dirt with lint, paper dust or the like after cutting media.
For a conspicuous stain, wipe it off with a soft-hair brush, a dry cloth, a paper towel or the like.
• Before starting to clean the platen, make sure that the platen has been sufficiently cooled.
• Be sure to clean the slot for media pressing, the slot for paper cutting (the cutter line) or the like since dust and dirt are easily accumulated in these parts.
• If it is stained with ink, wipe it off with a paper towel containing a little amount of the cleaning solution.

Water heating device
Precautions for refilling
• Water and antifreeze liquid compound ratio should be 2(water) to 1(Antifreeze liquid).
• When only water is supplied to the hot water tank without antifreeze liquid, it may damage the head.
• When only antifreeze liquid is supplied to the hot water tank without water, the liquid temperature does not increase, and may cause an error.
• Check the water is on the required level in the water heating device every month.
• If water in the water heating device frequently becomes insufficient, contact a distributor in your district or our office.
• Dispose of the waste water mixed with antifreeze liquid pursuant to the regulations of your district.
Precautions in handling the antifreeze liquid
• Be sure to wear goggles and gloves for handling the antifreeze liquid.
• Use the recommended antifreeze liquid by Mimaki. If not, the water heating device may be broken. (Supplied antifreeze liquid : SPC-0394 [1000cc x 2 bottles])
• Do not touch the antifreeze liquid directly. If the antifreeze liquid settles on the skin or clothes, immediately wash it off with soap and water. If you get antifreeze liquid in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with a lot of clean water. Then, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Store antifreeze liquid in a dark and cold place.
• Store antifreeze liquid in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• When discarding antifreeze liquid which is no longer needed, entrust them to an industrial waste disposal contractor, clarifying their contents.
• Before using antifreeze liquid, be sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• When purchasing a spare hot water tank, contact a distributor in your district or our office.
• Prepare a tank with a cap to put in the waste water from hot water tank.
• When water in the hot water tank is low, an error message is displayed. In this case, replace water in the same way shown as the next page.
