with water-diluted neutral detergent. If it is not cleaned, the printer’s surface paint may be damaged.
5. Always use the SIIT-specified attachments and options. The other products may degrade the image
quality, damage the printer, and make maintenance impossible.
Regular inspection and maintenance
Due to solv ent ink char acteri stics, in spect ion and mai ntenance n eed to be pe rfor med peri odical ly. (For
details on maintenance, see the Maintenance section star ting on
page 73
.)
1. Perform the start maintenance every day before star ting using the printer.
2. Pay particularly attention to the items below.
- Supply wiper cleaning liquid when the bottle is empty.
- Print heads are highly-precise parts. Do not wipe the nozzle surface directly.
3. If you stop using the printer for more than 2 weeks, perform the ser vice cleaning.
4. If, after the service cleaning, you have left the printer for a long time and you start printing with the

2. To guarantee print quality, expiration dates are indicated for ink cartridges, cleaning liquid cartridge sets,
and storage liquid cartridge sets. Use these consumables before their expiration date.
3. Put used ink cartridges into a plastic bag and dispose of them as industrial waste. Observe local
regulations for disposal of consumables.
4. Unpack the SIIT ink cartridges only to install them. Do not store SIIT ink cartridges in direct sunlight. Store
the SIIT ink cartridges in a cool, dry place. This prevents deterioration of the ink during storage.
5. Do not disassemble the ink cartridges. They are intended for single use only.
6. Do not drop the ink cartridges. Avoid shock to them. The drop or shock may cause an ink leakage.
Media
Supported media

Precautions when storing media
z
When storing media, packed or unpacked, avoid direct sunlight and humidity. To avoid dust put the
media into a box or a bag, and keep it in a cool and dark place.
z
Avoid rapid temperature change to prevent condensation.
z
Do not store media upright. A media stored upright may be deformed, move on the roll due to its weight,
or may its edges may be damaged.
z
Do not pile up roll media.
z
Make sure the media rolls are secured when stored. They are heavy and may cause injury if they roll or fall.
Precautions when disposing of media
z
Dispose of media or printout in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Precautions when using media
z
Do not subject unpacked media to temperature and humidit y variations. Before loading the media on
the printer, leave the media in the operating environment for three hours or more. Note that ambient
humidity variations caused by turning on or o the air conditioner may aect the media.
z
The media may curl at low temperature, and wrinkle at high temperature. Keep the temperature around
23°C and the humidity around 50% when you use the media.
z
Do not use a media when a part of it is scratched, wrinkled, curled, or that is covered with foreign matters.
Never use a damaged media, as the right and left edges of the media are especially critical to feed media
on the printer. Also, do not drop the media and avoid water stains, which may degrade the image quality
and cause the printer to malfunction.
z
Do not touch the printed part of the media. Always hold the media by the margin. The image quality may
be degraded by human sebum and sweat.
z
If the media is wound in the shape of a cone, correct the winding before loading and using the media.
Precautions when handling printouts
z
Do not touch the printed surface of the media before the ink dries, or especially 24 hours after printing.
Handle the printout by the margins.
z
Do not scratch the printout to avoid lost or transfer of colors. To avoid color transfer, do not stack printed
media on one another with their printed surface facing in contact.
z
Do not put printed media on a printout from a copier or laser printer. The printouts’ ink or toner may make
the two printouts to stick together.
z
Note that ink on a printed surface may come o if the surface is rubbed hard or scratched.
z
The printed image may bleed or disappear if scratched or left while being wet.
Page 10
18 19
Other precautions
z
Media loses its color and quality with age. Check the media condition and select the media in the best
condition.
z
Cut the media carefully, as paper dust may make irregular surfaces.
z
When adhesive-backed media is applied, some adhesive agent may be left on the platen, which may
cause a media jam. So clean the agent completely with a soft cloth moistened with the neutral detergent.
Available area on media
The available area on media in the scanning direction depends on the media width, the media edge guards
application, and the presence pf the color stripe. With the media edge guards and color stripe applied, the available

Supported media
Vinyl
Vinyl is media with PVC-material surface. As generally vinyl is adhesive-backed, by removing the release paper on
the back you can stick the media easily. Depending on its gloss grade, the vinyl is classied into three categories:
glossy vinyl (with high gloss), matte vinyl (with no gloss), and semi-glossy vinyl (with medium gloss).
When the media is applied on some prints, a gray adhesive-backed vinyl is eective to avoid the prints seen through
the top media.
For backlit purpose application, the PVC material surface is sometimes transparent or translucent.
Banner
Banner is polyester fiber cloth media with both sides coated with synthetic plastic film such as PVC. As the
banner is water- and tear-resistant, it is used for tent canvas, construction wrap sheets, and inkjet-printed banner
advertisements.
Depending on its gloss grade, the banner is classied into three categories: glossy banner (with high gloss), matte
banner (with no gloss), and semi-glossy banner (with medium gloss).
Mesh banner (with liner)
Mesh banner is perforated banner media reinforced with mesh grid. As its open structure allows wind to permeate,
the mesh banner is wind- and tear-resistant, and withstands heavy wind.
Depending on whether liner (ink absorbing back sheet) is present, the mesh banner is classied into two categories:
backed and unbacked.
Backlit banner (FF)
Backlit banner exible face (FF) is translucent, that is, semi-transparent banner media. Thanks to that, it is used for
backlit signs inside light boxes.
Compared with an acrylic sign, the backlit banner is lightweight and easy to handle, wind- and tear-resistant, and
highly safe. it can withstand strong wind pressure.
Solvent printing coated paper
Solvent printing coated paper is media with the printing surface coated, on which solvent ink is cured vividly. Its
thickness depends on the product type.
When the media is applied on some prints, a blue back type is eective to avoid the prints seen through the top
media.

a case, hold both ends of t he roll to separate the media
from the paper guide an d then feed the media.
If the leading edge of th e media curls up or down, it may
get caught inside the pri nter and may not be installed
properly. Do not use heavily c urled media.
Make sure that the leading e dge of the media does
not touch the front cover. If the medi a forms a curve,
straighten it before th e installation.
Check that the media edg e guards are not caught under

Adjustment methods
Adjusting media feeding: Media advance adjustment
The media feeding operation can be adjusted depending on media characteristics, such as thickness, rigidness, and
smoothness of the surface.
To maintain a high print quality, perform media advance adjustment and set the most suitable media advance
adjustment value.
What is the timing to perform media advance adjustment?
When one of the following pa rameters has changed.
- The media has been change d
- The print mode has been cha nged
- The position of the pressure ro ller lever has been changed
- The TUR unit usage set ting or TUR mode (loose or tension) has be en changed
- The media advance mode ha s been changed
- The suction fan set ting (low, medium, high) has been changed
When the media advance adjus tment value is incorrect.
When the media advance adjus tment value is incorrect, band ing (horizontal bands) appears per iodically on the
printout.
Two modes are available to adjust media advance: automatic print adjustment and manual print adjustment.
With automatic print adjustment, the printer prints an adjustment pattern, check the result with sensors, and set a
media advance adjustment value automatically.
With manual print adjustment, the printer prints an adjustment pattern, then the user selects visually a media
advance adjustment value and set the value on the printer.
How to dierentiate between automatic and manual print adjustment
Automatic print adjustment is reco mmended for the following users .
- Users who do not have much exper ience with the printer
- Users who nd manual print adjus tment dicult
- Users who want nish adjustment qu ickly
* Automatic print adjustment may not b e available depending on the media t ype. If automatic print adjustm ent

When not using the printer for
more than 2 weeks
Always set the printer power to on to perform the ll cap operation.
What is ll cap?
To clear clogged nozzles, use th e ll cap function. This func tion lls the caps with ink to soak the pr int head (nozzle
surface) in the ink for a minimum of 1 to 2 ho urs. If possible, leave the printer overni ght.
Use this function also when s everal cleaning operations could not cl ear the clogged nozzles.
The printer has an internal clock which allows it to automatically wash the print heads, ushing some ink through
the print heads, which keeps the print heads in good condition. The printer automatically washes the print heads 72
hours after the last printing, and then washes them every three days.
If the printer is turned o for a long period, this process above does not happen. If the ink does not ow through the
print heads regularly, the ink will dry inside the nozzle, reaching a point where they cannot be recovered and the
print heads will malfunction. This will lead to a replacement of the print heads.
If you have to leave the printer turned o for a long time, follow the instructions below.
For a short period
Clean the print head and the ink flow path with the
storage liquid, and leave the printer with storage
liquid filled.
Prepare the storage liquid set (IP7-137).

specied depending on the media preset. Select BEFORE&DURING PRNT or BEFORE& AFTER PRINT depending on
the media characteristics.
BEFORE&AFTER
PRINT
Based on the previous printing operations, the printer performs the automatic cleaning when
starting and completing the print operation.
BEFORE&DURING
PRNT
Based on the previous printing operations, the printer performs the automatic cleaning when
starting the print operation or during printing .
After cleaning, the printer resumes printing if it was interrupted.
OFF Automatic cleaning is not performed. We recommend using this mode when printing
continuously several data files on media with which differences between printouts will be
noticeable if automatic cleaning is performed between two files.However, since cleaning is not
performed automatically, determine suitable timing to execute cleaning manually. Noz zles will
clog more frequently if cleaning is not performed for a long time.

Adjust the heaters temperatures
Each heater initial value is set in the media preset menu. These values are automatically set for the heaters
temperatures.
Therefore, normally the heater control menu is not required.
The heater control menu is used to:
- Complete the temperature ne adjustment during the print operation; or
- Conrm the current heater temperature
Procedure to set the heaters temperatures
(1) The heaters are in standby at the initial temperature
registered with the media used.
>>AFTERHEATER T

When a media type is selected af ter installing the media, initial
temperature values of each heater for the selected media type are
displayed on the menu.
(2) Heating starts after receiving the data from the RIP
software.
RIP data
When the heaters temperatures are set with the print and job data
from the RIP software, the temperatures on the heater control
menu are overwritten by the temperatures from the RIP.
To use the initial temperatures set on the o peration panel
rather than the temperature s et with the RIP, set HEATER
PRIORITY in the me dia preset menu to PANEL SETTING.
(3) When the heaters temperatures have almost reached
the set temperatures, the print operation starts.
When the current temperatures of the afterheater, printheater,
and preheater reach a temperature of 1ºC lower than the set
temperature, the printer starts printing.
The heaters maximum set te mperatures are as follows.
Afterheater: 55ºC, Printh eater: 55ºC, Preheater: 55ºC
Even after the print is complete d, the temperatures
changed during this procedur e remain as the heaters setup
temperatures, until the media is ins talled again or the printer
is turned o.
However, the heater temperature set tings in the media

We recommend that the preheater, the printheater, and the afterheater be set to a temperature lower than 50ºC,
45ºC, and 50ºC respectively.
Notes
When the printheater tem perature is set very high, th e ink fusion on the media is improve d, however this may cause
the media to wrinkles o r the printout to be very matte. Ad just heater temperatures accor ding to the media type and th e
environmental temperature.
When the printheater tem perature is too high, the printe r may print at low speed to ensure stab le print quality.
Set the preheater/afterheater temperatures 5ºC higher than the printheater temperature. Incorrect temperature balance
between preheate r/afterheater and printheater may caus e the media to wrinkle.
Setting the printhe ater temperature too high may lead to m issing dots on the printout.

Solve print quality issues
This section contains hints to enhance the print quality with the printer based on several symptoms.
Take appropriate actions according to the symptoms.
When several actions are described, they are arranged in order of eectiveness. Therefore, you are recommended
to take the actions starting from the top and conrm the eect on the improvement. (Note that all the described
actions are not always necessary to solve the problem.)
The print is pale.
Cause Solution
The density setting is not correct. Set density to HIGH DENSITY if high density printing is required, such as when using
backlit banner media.
The operating environment is outside
the specification of the Printer.
Raise the ambient temperature to 15ºC or more (20 to 25ºC recommended) to warm the
printer adequately.
Media is not selected properly. Check the media selection.
The printout is blurred or grains appear.
Cause Solution
The bidirectional and media advance
adjustment values are not correct.
(1) Perform bidirectional adjustment and media advance adjustment again.
(2) If automatic adjustment has been performed, perform manual adjustment.
Missing dots are found at the beginning of printing.
Cause Solution
Outside the operating temperature/
humidity range
Use the printer within the operating temperature/humidity range.
(
page 22)
Obstructions in the nozzle surfa ce Check the platen, the media edge guards, the capping unit, the wiper b lade, the
pressure roller, and the head guards, and remove any foreign matter.
Lint or paper fibers coming from a damaged media may touch the print heads, which
may cause missing dots. Replace the media with a media with no lint or paper fibers.
The media entered into contact with the
nozzle surfaces.
Perform normal cleaning.
If the problem persists, perform the ac tion
pa ge 17 9.
Cleaning did not finish normally. Perform the daily maintenance.
Clean the caps.
The media is curled or wrinkled.
Cause Solution
Outside the operating temperature/
humidity range
(1) Use the printer within the operating temperature/humidit y range.
* Note that some media may wrinkles eve n within the operating temperature and
humidity range.
(2) Use proven media.
The media storage conditions are not the
same as the printer operating conditions.
The difference between the media storage conditions and the pr inter operating
conditions may cause the media to curl or wrinkle. To prevent this, after carrying the
media from storage to the operation area, leave the media for while time in the new
environment before printing.
* The time depends on the media type and the s torage conditions.
The media was not installed properly. Check that the media was installed properly in the conditions below.
- The installed media is insta lled parallel to the printer.
- The operation panel shows th e media type correctly.
- The media winding mode is opti mal for the installed media.
- Check that the leading of the m edia output from the printer is installed straight to th e
TUR unit paper tube.
The media wrinkled because of the
heater temperatures.
(1) If the me dia wrinkles while the printer is warmed by the heaters, install the media
only after the printer is warmed up by the heaters.
(2) Change the heater temperature. Increase or decrease all three heaters by 5°C.*

(3) Use proven media.
(4) If the m edia is still wrinkle, feed the media until you reach a portion without wrinkles.
(5) If the media wrinkles between each print job, change the media advance mo de.
The media is curled. (1) Do not use media curled in the vertical direction direction (vertic al to the media).
(2) Do not use me dia curled in the horizontal direction (from the right edge to left
edge). The is so curled that the media edge guards and the suction fan cannot flat
the media.
(3) Use proven media.
Set the suction fan parameter of the
preset to LOW.
Set the suction fan parameter of the preset to a stronger setting.
Wrinkles caused by media advance (1) Remove the media and install it again.
(2) Use proven media.
