Setting the media on the printer

This printer can be used with roll media and cut sheet media. Use the media recommended by MIMAKI.

(Refer to “Sizes of media that can be used (p.1-16)” )

 In the cases below, be sure to fix tension-bars on both sides of the printer.

If you leave the tension-bars unfixed, the bars supported by media may fall

down. Please be careful.

 When lifting up the clamp lever

 When cutting media manually with JOG key

 When cutting media with tools you have (cutter, scissors, etc.)

 If a transparent media is set, the message [ERROR 50 MEDIA DETECT] is dis-

played and the media may not be detected.

 If the media is exposed to direct sunshine, the media width may not be

detected correctly.

 Do not use printed media; otherwise, ink can adhere to pinch rollers and thus

media may be stained or may not be detected.

 Significantly or internally curled media must be straightened so that it will be

fed properly without floating above the platen.

 Media may form an irregular surface because of the heat from the print-heater if

it is left set on the printer for a significant period of time. If printing is started on

the irregular surface of the media, the heads may rub on the media. Therefore,

if an irregular surface is found on the media, feed the media with the [] key

and set a new origin to avoid printing on the irregular surface.

 Set media in the center of the printer.

This printer can print on the media setting on the right side, however, some

types of media tend to cause skew (media is fed on a skew) or sticking on the

platen. By setting media in the center, the printer stably feeds the media.
