Cautions about installation
Warning for Use
Caution
Do not install in the following places:
• A place exposed to direct sunlight
• On an inclined surface
• A place that vibrates
• A place exposed to direct air flow from an air
conditioner, etc.
• Around a place where fire is used
• A place where the temperature or humidity
changes significantly (The recommended
usage environment differs depending on the
connected printer.Confirm it referring to the
instruction manual of the printer.)
Warning
How to Handle Ink • •
• The ink used for this machine contains organic solvent. Since the ink is flammable, never use flame in or
around the place where this machine is used.
• If the machine is used in a room with bad ventilation or a hermetically closed room, be sure to install
ventilation equipment. In addition, if you inhale a lot of vapor and feel bad, immediately move to a location
of fresh air and then keep yourself warm and quiet.
• If anyone drinks ink by mistake, keep him or her quiet and see a doctor immediately Do not allow him or
her to swallow the vomit. After that, contact the Poison Control Center.
• The ink contains organic solvent. If ink has stuck to your skin or clothes, immediately wash it off with detergent
and water.
If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with a lot of clean water for at least 15
minutes. In doing so, also wash eyes to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Be sure to store ink packs out of reach of children.
• When removing 2L eco case from the seat, be sure to wear goggles etc. Ink may spatter and get in your
eyes. Do not pull out and insert the middle cartridge again as much as possible.
Do not pull out /insert the middle cartridge as much as possible
• The number of pulling out and inserting the middle cartridge shall be minimized.
It may cause ink leakage.
• When you do not use the middle cartridge, thoroughly pull out it from the slot.
Store the middle cartridge you pulled out with its rubber cap pushed into the top edge of it to prevent ink leakage.
1. Thoroughly pull out the middle cartridge.
2. Remove the rubber cap located on the IC chip side of
the middle cartridge.
3. Push the rubber cap into the top edge of middle cartridge
(to the opposite side of the IC chip) to prevent ink leakage.
• Do not pull out further than the stoppers when pulling out the
middle cartridge. Doing so will break the tube (less than 30
cm) and result in an ink discharge fault.
Prohibition of Use in a Damp Environment Prohibition of Disassembly or Modification
• Avoid locating the machine in a damp
environment. Do not splash water onto the
machine. Use in such an environment can
give rise to fire, electric shocks or
breakdown of the machine.
• Never disassemble or modify this machine or
the ink cartridges. Disassembly or
modification results in electric shocks or
breakdown of the machine.

Caution for Use
Caution
Handling of MBIS3
• Even when not using MBIS3, keep the 2L ink pack be set. If the
2L ink pack is not set, the male connector end located in the
center of the seat will be solidified and supplying ink to the
printer will not be available or ink leakage may occur.
If the ink becomes clogged, use a cotton swab dabbed in the
dedicated cleaning solution to remove the solidified ink.
• Do not set the 2L eco case without 2L ink pack on the jack
stand. Doing so will result in air from the male connector being
mixed in causing an ink discharge fault.
Using dedicated ink
• Be sure to use dedicated ink for the printer to be connected. It will not operate with ink other than the
dedicated one because of protecting the printer.
How to Handle Ink Packs
• If the ink pack 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 pack 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 packs in a cool and dark place.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink pack, once it is opened, within three months. If an
extended period of time has passed away after opening the pack, printing quality would be poor.
• When you removed the 2L ink pack from the seat before it
ends, wipe ink adhering to inside of the connector part of the
2L ink pack with a cotton swab etc.
If ink adhering to inside of the connector part may dry out, it
may cause ink leakage when using it again.
•To change the ink type or the color after installing MBIS3, replace the ink tube, spout rubber and the
seat. Contact with sales office or our business office.
• Never refill the ink pack with ink. Refilled ink pack can cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes
no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink pack replenished with ink.
• Neither pound the ink pack nor shake it violently, as doing so can cause leakage of ink.
Do not leave the ink slot empty
• Do not leave the ink slot empty for a long time. Leaving it empty may dry the slot and solidify the ink in the
machine, then the machine will become unable to supply ink.
• If ink cartridges are not set in the ink slot, an error message will display on the printer to set ink cartridges.
Set the same colored ink cartridge as the ink used before.
Tube breakage
• Be careful that the exposed tube does not break in the following conditions.s
Contact with sales office or our business office.
1. When moving the tube to the rear of the printer for setting media or other reasons.
2. When removing and pulling out the middle cartridge.
3. When replacing the 2L ink pack.
