CAUTIONS and NOTES
Warning
Handling of ink cartridges
• Use the TS34 genuine ink. Remember that the user shall be filled for a repair to correct any damage resulting from the use of ink other than the exclusive type.
• The machine does not operate with any ink other than the
TS34 genuine ink.
• Do not use the TS34 genuine ink with other printers, as doing so may cause damage to such machines.
• Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilled 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.
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature for three hours or more before using it.
• Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the machine. If it is opened and left for an extended period of time, normal printing performance of the machine may not be ensured.
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink cartridges and waste ink tank in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within three months. If an extended period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would be poor.
• Neither pound the ink cartridge nor shake it violently, as doing so can cause leakage of ink.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
• Waste ink is equivalent to waste oil of industrial waste.
Request an industrial waste disposal company for disposal of waste ink.
Front cover and lever
• Never open the front cover or raise the lever during printing. Opening the cover or raising the lever will abort printing.
Handling of media
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
• 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 30 minutes or more after unpacked.
• Do not use curled media.
The use of curled media can not only cause a media jam but also affect print quality.
Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled, before using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside.
Protection of media from dust
• Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated on media will adversely affect the media due to static electricity.
• When leaving the workshop after the working hours, do not leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on the roll hanger, it can get dusty.
Warning
Notes on maintenance
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is not dusty. Set the Refresh level 2 or 3 when the
machine is to be used in an unfavorable environment. (P.3-23 “Other Settings”)
• Keep the front cover closed even when the machine is not printing. If not, dust can accumulate on the nozzles in the heads.
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a case, be
sure to clean up the heads. (P.3-15 “Setting Automatic Cleaning”)
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the capping station and wiper frequently.
Periodic replacement parts
• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a contract with your distributor or dealer for After sale service to ensure a long life of your machine.
Disposition of this machine
• When discarding this machine, request the treatment of it for an industrial waste disposal contractor.
• Treat it properly in compliance with regulation in the local area.

Caution in handling of medias
Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.
• 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 30 minutes 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.

Cautions about Turning the Power OFF
Do not turn the main power switch OFF.
When the main power switch is ON, the power periodically turns ON and the nozzle clogging prevention function (flushing function) operates.
When the main power switch has been turned OFF, the auto maintenance functions, such as flushing, do not operate, and this may cause nozzle clogging.
Keep the front cover and the maintenance cover closed.
If the cover is opened, the auto maintenance function such as the flushing function does not work.
Turn the power OFF after having checked the position of the head.
If the power is turned OFF in a state where the head has not returned to the capping station, the ink head dries, which may cause nozzle clogging.
In this case, turn the power ON again and check that the head has returned to the capping station, and then turn the power OFF.
Do not turn the power OFF during printing.
The head may not return to the capping station.
After having turned the power switch OFF, turn the main power switch OFF.
When turning the main power switch off for moving the machine or for solving the error or the like, press the power switch on the front of the machine, check the display is turned off on the operation panel, and then turn the main power switch off.

About User Types
Registering All Printing Conditions Together (Type Registration)
This machine allows you to register printing conditions in each of the user types (1 to 4).
Register a printing condition according to each media that you use in a user type beforehand. When you replace one media to another, you can set the optimum printing condition only by changing one user type to another.

Setting Media Correction
Correct the feeding rate of media after the type of media is replaced.
If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may appear on the printed image, thus resulting in a poor printing.
• On completion of [MEDIA COMP.] during use of a roll media, the media returns to the printing origin.
Then the roll media in the rear of this machine will slacken.
Before printing, take up the slack in the roll media by hand; a loose roll media can result in an inferior image quality.
• When printing with a take-up device, set the media first and then perform media correction.
Setting Media Correction
A pattern for media correction is printed and a media-feeding rate is corrected.
• Two bands are printed in the correction pattern.
• Make adjustment so that an even color density is obtained in the boundary between the two bands.

Setting Automatic Cleaning
You can set items so that the head cleaning is automatically performed when printing has been completed for the set length.
When printing has been completed, the machine measures the length of a media printed after the previous head cleaning and performs the cleaning automatically if necessary.
The machine can perform a stable printing operation with its heads always kept clean.
The first cleaning is performed immediately before the first printing after the machine is started. Then subsequent cleaning is performed every printing on the specified length of media.
When five copies of an image 80 cm long are printed in series, cleaning is repeated before printing each of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th copies.
Print length : 1.6 m Cleaning (3rd time)
Print length : 0.8 m No cleaning
