leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on
the roll hanger, it can get dusty.
Caution about 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.3-34 "Setting of Refreshing")
• 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.3-28 "Setting Auto cleaning")
• 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.
• 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 new ones periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a contract
with your distributor or dealer for after sale service to ensure the long life of your machine.

• Use genuine ink cartridges for this machine. This machine functions by recognizing the genuine ink
cartridges. In case of trouble caused by modified ink cartridges or the like, it shall be out of the warranty
even within the warranty period.
• When the ink cartridge has been moved from a cold place to a warm one, leave it at room temperature
for three hours or more before using it.
Before Use
• Be sure to thoroughly use up the ink in the ink cartridge within three months of it being opened. If an
extended period of time has passed after opening the cartridge, printing quality will deteriorate.
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink cartridges in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• Request an industrial waste disposal company to dispose of an empty ink cartridge.
• Do not shake ink cartridges violently. This may result in ink leakage from the ink cartridges.
• Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. A refilled ink cartridge can cause trouble. Remember that MIMAKI
assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of an ink cartridge refilled with ink.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge because doing so can cause damage to the print
circuit board.
• Do not disassemble the ink cartridges.
• Silver and white ink of ES3 ink are usable for the firmware V and later.
Pigments of silver ink and white ink will settle down with time.
Pigments of silver and white ink of ES3 ink have nature of settling down when they are left for a long time.
If you print with ink whose pigments settle down as it is, it may cause color heterogeneity etc.
If you have not use ink for a long time, be sure to perform “spot color maintenance” before
printing.
When you print with silver ink or white ink that has set on the machine and has not been used for a long time, first
perform “spot color maintenance” to prevent color heterogeneity due to settling down of pigments. ( P.2-40
"Perform spot color maintenance")
If you have left ink for a long time, the warning message is displayed when you turn on the
power supply.
If you have left ink for a long time, the warning message that informs you that it is required to perform
maintenance is displayed when you turn on the power supply.
By referring to P.2-41 "About warning message display of performing spot color maintenance", perform
maintenance.
• Do not turn off the main power supply of this machine after you filled silver ink or white ink of ES3 ink. (If
you do not use the printer, turn off the power supply with the switch on the front surface of the machine.)

About Tool Conditions during Cutting
• When the printing-with-a-pen condition (PEN) has been selected in Step 3, SPEED: 30 cm/s and
PRESSURE: 60 to 80g should be handled as reference values.
• It is recommended to check whether the condition set by performing test cutting is proper after
registering the tool condition. ( P.2-43)
• When a cutting condition (CUT 1 to 3 or HALF) has been set, the cutting and throwing-away (blade
edge direction alignment) operation ( P.4-38) is performed.
• When the PRESSURE value is set at less than 20 g in Step 7, the speed value in Step 5 needs to be set
at 10 cm/s or less. Otherwise, the tool floats, and this causes letters to be blurred and cutting
remainders to be generated.
• With PRESSURE (cutting pressure) being set at a large value, do not make the cutting adjustment only
with the length of the blade edge drawn out.
2
When cutting is performed with the length of the blade edge drawn out being short and with
PRESSURE being set at a large value, a strange sound may be made during cutting. In addition, the
bottom surface of the cutter may rub against the sheet, causing the sheet surface to be damaged or the
cutting quality to deteriorate.

Print a test pattern to check that there are no discharging defects such as nozzle clogging (slight touching of ink
or nozzle missing).
Normal test pattern (when using ink other than white ink)
When you use ink that you can check by printing a test pattern on a white media, print this test pattern.
Basic Operations
Test pattern for checking white ink
When you use a white media and wish to check discharging status of white ink, print this test pattern.
• When using a leaf medium, set one that is larger than an A4-size medium in the longitudinal direction.
• When using a roll medium, rewind the medium by hand before printing so that it is not loose. When the
roll medium has not been rewound tightly, it may cause image quality to deteriorate.
• When detecting the medium and the mode is in cut mode, if you perform test printing as it is, the
following screen will be displayed by pressing the key in Step 2. In this case, press
the key to switch the setting of pinch roller pressure to the print mode and then perform the

Head Cleaning
About head cleaning
There are two types of head cleaning.

Perform when using silver ink or white ink of ES3 ink.
(available for the firmware Ver.2.40 and later)
Pigments of silver ink and white ink of ES3 ink have nature of settling down when they are left for a long time
without being used, and it may cause color heterogeneity.
Basic Operations
By performing “spot” of head cleaning to discharge ink settling down, you can improve color heterogeneity (spot
color maintenance function).
spot : By discharging special ink whose pigment remains settling down in the head, the damper or the tube
of this machine, improve color heterogeneity.
• Spot color maintenance is selectable only when silver ink or white ink of ES3 ink has been filled for the

Test Cutting
Test cutting is performed to check whether the settings for tool conditions are appropriate.
In test cutting, two squares shown right are cut.
• When the cutter cuts badly because of the wear of the blade, the value of PRESSURE can be increased
temporarily to deal with the problem.
(This should be done only temporarily. It is recommended that the blade of the cutter be
replaced with a new one to maintain cutting quality.)
• Test cutting performs the operation at the current cutter position. (When there is not a cutter unit on the
medium, test cutting is performed at the drawing origin.)
• When cutting the data after test cutting, the origin must be moved in advance. If you cut without moving
the origin, there is a possibility of overlapping on the test cutting.

Changing the Set Values of the Heaters
When the Heater Temperature Does Not Reach the Preset One
When the heater temperature is too low or the ink capacity (ink limit) is too small, printing failures, such as
beading and banding, may occur.
Beading is a phenomenon that adjacent dots attract and stick to one another. Beading causes speckled patterns
or stripes along printing passes (banding).
Example of Beading
The area in the vicinity of 100% magenta looks fine. Generally, the area in the vicinity of 70-100% single color is
easily affected by the unevenness of a media feeding rate. The print shown here, free from unevenness of color
in the vicinity of 100% magenta area, shows that media-feeding has been adjusted appropriately.
In the blue area (100% magenta + 100% cyan), however, speckled patterns and banding have occurred. This
banding is a result of beading. When the heater temperature is low or the ink capacity (ink limit) of a medium is
small, the first dot does not solidify before the second dot lands on the medium. As a result, dots stick to one
another and unevenness or banding occurs.
In order to prevent beading, it is recommended to raise the heater temperature to increase the ink capacity (ink
limit) of the medium, to adjust the ink volume per dot for the medium, to increase the number of printing passes
and decrease the ink amount for one shot, and/or to gain time by scan wait.
Change the medium if none of the above-mentioned measures works to prevent beading.

Notes on Register Mark Detection
Observe the following precautions on register mark detection.
• When you retry medium detection, medium skew correction, scale correction between register marks, and the
position of the origin are cleared.
• Once the cutter unit detects marks, it will set the origin at the location of TP1.
If you change the position of the origin to a different location using the jog keys, the origin at the new location will
supersede the origin at TP1.
• Locate register marks so that the line connecting the corners of the four marks forms a rectangle.
Register marks arranged unevenly can result in deviated cutting.
(1) When performing combined operation of print & cut with the attached application software to this
device (Rasater Link Pro 4 SG or later / FineCut 7.0 or later /), the following set contents will follow
the instruction of software side. Note that the contents set in this device will be invalid.
• Register mark size
• Register mark shape
• The number of sheets
(2) The combined operation of print & cut without a register mark is not performed under the following
conditions:
• Print & cut using the take-up device
• Print & cut when “COLOR PATTERN ( P.3-28) “ of the setting mode is set to “ON”
• Other than the above conditions, there is a possibility of the cutting line being misaligned
depending on the printing data size. Therefore, it is also recommended to perform the operation
with the data which has register marks for combined operation of print & cut.

Cutting with a Dotted Line
• When a tool condition other than "HALF" has been selected in Step 4, cutting with a dotted line cannot
be set.
• The set values are recorded even when the power has been turned OFF.
• When a medium is cut with a dotted line, the medium is cut along with the backing sheet. Therefore, the
life of a cutter blade is shorter than in normal cutting.
• The cutting pressure applied when a medium is cut through can be set by cutting conditions ( P.2-3).

Changing the Order of Cutting
By changing the order of pieces of data for cutting transmitted from the host computer, you can change the order
of cutting them. (Sorting function)
When data to be cut with a single stroke cannot be cut with a single stroke because of the order of pieces of data
transmitted from a software application, you can cut the data with a single stroke by changing the order of cutting
them.
Some application software transmit data to this machine in the order of creating and editing data.
• For example, when data read by a scanner has been revised, the data cannot be cut with a single stroke because
the part revised is cut later.
In sorting, data is cut as blocks. A block means movement from a down stroke with a pen to an up stroke with a
pen. After one block has been cut, a block whose starting point is closest to the already cut block is cut.
The starting point and cutting direction of host data are not changed.
Circle : Starting point of data = Starting point of cutting
Arrow : Data direction = Cutting direction
Numbers : Order of block cutting
When you turn the sorting function "ON", the following functions are activated:
Auto-feeding function:
This function is used to detect the length of data to be cut and to draw out a medium whose length is the same
as that of the data beforehand.
Area control function:
This function is used to specify an area beforehand and to preferentially cut blocks of data that fit into the
area.
When there is no block of data that fits into the area, the area is enlarged so that the data is cut gradually in
the medium-feeding direction.

About the Cutting Mode
Dummy cutting
• When “PEN” is selected for the tool condition, the dummy cutting cannot be set.
• The default of the dummy cutting function is ON.
When you have set the dummy cutting function to OFF, perform test cutting ( P.2-43) to adjust the
cutter blade orientation before cutting.
Some part of a medium is left uncut because the pressure applied when the cutter blade touches the medium is
weak.
When an optional eccentric blade is used, some part of a medium to be
cut with the blade's angle being 120 degrees or less may be left uncut.
This is because the corners are cut with a low pressure (about 5 g)
automatically applied so that the medium does not turn up. Some part
of a medium may be left uncut because the blade edge does not rotate
smoothly in its moving direction with the cutting pressure being low. In
such a case, configure the setting for the pressure to be increased
when the corners are cut.

Maintenance
This chapter
describes the items required to use this machine more comfortably, which are the
methods for the daily care, the maintenance of the ink unit etc.
• When using cleaning solution for maintenance, be sure to wear the supplied protective glasses.
• The ink contains organic solvent. When cleaning the machine, be sure to wear gloves so that no ink will
make direct contact with your skin.
• Never disassemble the machine. Disassembling it can result in electric shock hazards or damage to the
machine.
Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power switch and unplug the power cable; otherwise, an
unexpected accident may occur.
• Prevent moisture from entering the machine. Moisture inside the machine can cause electric shock
hazards or damage to the machine.
• To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the machine to eject a small amount of ink (flushing)
regularly when a printing (outputting) operation has not been performed for a long time.
• When the machine is not to be used for a long time, turn off only the power switch on the front side, leave
the main power switch at the rear turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the power cable connected.
• If organic solvent ink is mixed with water or alcohol, coagulation is generated.
Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, wiper, caps, etc. with water or alcohol. Doing so can cause
nozzle clogging or machine failure.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical agent containing an abrasive. Such materials can
deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.
• Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside the machine. Doing so can cause damage to the plotter
mechanism.
• Be careful that the cleaning solution, ink, etc. not to stick to the cover because this may cause the
surface of the cover to deteriorate or deform.

Cleaning the Wiper and Cap
It is recommended that the wiper and cap be cleaned frequently in order to maintain the high image quality of the
machine and keep the machine itself in good working order.
• When SS21 ink is used, the ink easily sticks around the wiper. Clean the wiper and the area around it
about twice a week (it varies, depending on frequency in the use of the machine).
• Replace the wiper with a new one when it is extremely dirty or bent. ( P.6-8)
• When cleaning the wiper, be careful that lint from the clean stick does not get left on the wiper.
Remaining lint may cause image quality to deteriorate.

Cleaning the Ink Head and the Area around It
Because the ink head employs a very precise mechanism, due care needs to be taken when it is cleaned.
Using a clean stick, etc., rub off gelatinous ink or dust that may stick to the lower part of the slider and the area
around the ink head. In doing so, never rub the nozzles of the head.
• Be sure to wear the attached goggles and gloves when cleaning the area around the ink head.
Otherwise, you may get ink in your eyes.

Setting the Regular Wiping Operation during a Printing Operation
When the set number of times scanning is performed has been reached during a printing operation, a wiping
operation is performed automatically to prevent ink dew condensation on the nozzle face.
In the following cases, ink splashing, ink dripping or nozzle missing may occur during a printing operation.
It is recommended that the regular wiping operation be set to always maintain a good printing state.
• When the print heater has been set at a high temperature
• When a relatively large value (high density, two coats of ink, etc.) has been set to the amount of ejected ink
The cause of the ink splashing, ink dripping or nozzle missing is that the ink printed immediately after ink ejection
is heated by the print heater, which causes evaporated solvent to condense on the nozzle face.
In addition, the larger the difference between the set temperature of the print heater and the ambient temperature
is, the more easily the evaporated solvent can condense.
