CHAPTER 3 Printing This chapter describes a series of operations and settings, ranging from power-on to end of printing. Adjusting the head gap ..........................................................3-2 Setting the media on the printer .............................................3-3 Effective Plotting Area ..........................................................3-18 Establishing the Origin .........................................................3-19 Other notes .....................................
3 Printing Adjusting the head gap Set the head gap (height from the media to the nozzle plane of the heads). When the carriage is to move above the platen for printing or maintenance, it moves while keeping the head gap at the preset value. The upper limit of the head gap varies with media thickness. Available setting values: [1.5 mm to 5.0 mm] (in units of 0.1 mm / Default : 1.5 mm) This function performs only setting the head gap; this function does not move the heads up and down.
Setting the media on the printer 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.1-2)? ) Leaf media cannot be used with this machine. 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.
3 Printing Attaching/removing platen sheet metal When using transfer paper for the media, attach the platen sheet metal. When using fabric media, remove the platen sheet metal. There are two types of platen sheet metal; with or without projection. When using it, set the platen sheet metal with projection on the right side of the machine making the projection in front and set the one without projection on the left side.
Setting the media on the printer 3 Check that the height of the platen sheet metal is same as that of the platen sheet metal holder. Platen sheet metal L Platen sheet metal R If the platen sheet metal is higher, the reasons may be: • The platen sheet metal is placed on the screw of the platen sheet metal holder. • The projection of the platen sheet metal R does not enter into the hole of the platen sheet metal holder. In the above cases, attach the platen sheet metal again.
3 Printing Setting position for fabric media When setting fabric media (platen sheet metal is not used), be careful about the setting position for the media. Depending on the setting position for the media, the media press cannot be used. A black and white label is pasted on the rear of this machine (back of heavy media feeding machine) (media setting position NG label). Do not put the edge surface of the media into the black area of this label.
Setting the media on the printer Setting media When setting media, use the heavy media feeding/take-up machine. When setting media, be sure to set the media press on the proper position. The media press of this machine also functions as the detection plate to detect the media width. If the media press is not set on the proper position, the media width cannot be detected properly.
3 Printing [4] Adjust the media (Supplementation/ notes) Procedures for fixing media on heavy media take-up machine When fixing media on the paper core, use adhesive tape etc. and pay attention to the next points to avoid folds: • Make intervals of adhesive tape within 500mm. • Pulling the media straight to the take-up direction, paste it so that the media on the ink tray has no surface waviness (if the media has surface waviness, paste it again).
Setting the media on the printer Notes when feeding fabric media If the set fabric media is fed in the status without tension on both in front and in the rear, the media may entwine the feeding roller. When feeding fabric media, perform the work putting tension on the fabric media by holding with your hand. Number of take-up times to paper core set on heavy media take-up machine After pasting media on the paper core, loop the media twice using the switch of the heavy media take-up machine.
3 Printing If the media cannot be detected automatically In some cases, the media cannot be detected automatically depending on the set media. In this case, detect the media by following procedures below: STEPS: 1 Set the “MEDIA DETECT” in the setting function to “MANUAL”. Set this by referring to P.6-2. 2 Start detecting media by pressing the [END] key. The thikness of the media is inputted. MEDIA DETECT (range : 0.1 - 5.0 mm) START WHEN [END] HIT = 0.
Setting the media on the printer 5 Press the [] [] keys to move the carriage to the right edge of the media and press the [ENTER] key. Drawing origin arrow Align the drawing origin arrow of the head cover with the right edge of the media. Press the [ENTER] key to determine the right edge of the media. Media Entry of right edge [ < ] or [ > ] key hit 6 Press the [] key to terminate the media detection. Determining the right edge of the media sets the left edge of the media automatically.
3 Printing [5]Adjusting the counter weight To keep the proper tension of the media and to take up stably, attach the counter weight to the take-up tension bar and the feeding tension bar after setting media. Please note that the counter weight attached may slack off the media on the ink receiver and soil the media. By the counter weight, the tension bar lightens and media feeding improves. Attach the counter weight as many as possible. A heavy tension bar may affect media feeding.
Setting the media on the printer [6]Set the media press This machine has two types of media press depending on the media type. The media press is very edged. Be careful about its handling. When setting media, be sure to set the media press on the proper position. The media press of this machine also functions as the detection plate to detect the media width. If the media press is not set on the proper position, the media width cannot be detected properly. When using thick media (of 0.
3 Printing For transfer paper 1 Prepare the media press for transfer paper. 2 Paste the media press on both edges of the media. Make arrow marks of the media press match the edge surface of the media.
Setting the media on the printer Setting the media using the roll holder Roll holder is ancillary. It is not suitable for continuous drawing on long media/ for long hours or for wide width/heavy media. Basically, use the heavy media feeding/take-up machine. Be careful not to drop the media on your foot etc. When setting media using roll holder, drawing cannot be performed on the front edge and the rear edge (about 800mm). When setting media, be sure to set the media press on the proper position.
3 Printing When [MEDIA RESIDUAL] of [MAINTENANCE] function has been set to ON STEPS: 1 Detection is completed, and the carriage returns to the station. 2 Input a value of the media length using the [] or [] key and press the [ENTER] key. Input of MediaLength MEDIA LENGTH = 50 m 3 However, only press the [END] key when the value to be input is identical with the previously input value. Initial value: 50 m; Input range: 1 m to 500 m (in units of 1 m) 4 The printer returns to LOCAL mode.
Setting the media on the printer Notes on media edge surface and pinch roller If you press the media edge surface with the pinch roller when you moved down the clamp lever, the media may not be fed properly. If the pinch roller is on the media edge surface, make the pinch roller on the media edge surface be lifted using the attached clamp fixing spacer (x 30).
3 Printing Effective Plotting Area The printer has an area where printing is not permitted, for mechanical reasons. This area is called “non-printing area”. 0 mm Left dead space Effective printing area Right dead space Media feeding direction 150 mm Roll media The default value of dead spaces in the right and the left differs depending on the media detection method or the media type to use.
Establishing the Origin Establishing the Origin Establish the origin for printing the data on the media loaded on the printer. When printing requires an area other than that defined by the established origin, set the origin at another point by following the origin setting procedure again. STEPS: 1 Once the media detection is completed, move the carriage and media using the JOG keys [], [], [] and [] so that the carriage is located at the position where the origin is to be established. L.
3 Printing Other notes Handling of media after drawing The drawn media will be taken up with the take-up machine located in the rear of the machine. If the media taken up will be left on the floor etc. for long hours as it is in roll status, it may set off due to the media’s own weight. When you store the media in roll status, be careful so that the printing part can be lifted as described below. Status of printing part being lifted 3-20 Status of printing part being left on the floor etc.
Other notes When cutting media After drawing, if you wish to cut the media with scissors etc., be careful about the following point: If you cut the media with scissors etc., the media may drop into the ink tray and be blotted. When cutting media, follow the procedures below: 1. Feed the printing part from the cut groove to the take-up machine side manually. 2. Return the tension bar to the waiting position and cut the media on the cut groove located on the dryness fan. Cut it using scissors etc. 3.
3 Printing Use method of rear surface dryness fan When drawing on the fabric media, ink broke through to the rear side of the media may impact on the drawing surface after take-up because ink does not get dry. In this case, use the rear surface dryness fan to dehydrate ink on the rear surface. If you use the rear surface dryness fan, the media may be lifted. You can avoid the media from being lifted by using the heavy media feeding/take-up machine, or adjusting the strength of the fan.
