CAUTIONS and NOTES

Warning

Handling of ink cartridges

Front cover and lever

• Use the JV400-SUV 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

JV400 genuine ink.

• Do not use the JV400-SUV 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.

• 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.

• Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of

the media.
Set  the  temperature  of  the  Pre-heater,  Print  heater  and
Post-heater  according  to  the  type  and  characteristics  of
the  media  used.  Automatic  temperature  setting  can  be
made on the operation panel by setting the profile on the
dedicated  RIP.  For  setting  on  the  RIP,  refer  to  the
instruction manual for your RIP.

• 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.

• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.

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.
