This may cause ink to leak from the cartridge. • Do not attempt to refill ink packs or ink cartridges. Mimaki is not responsible for any problems caused by using refilled ink. • Do not touch and avoid soiling ink cartridge PCB contacts. This may result in PCB failure. • Do not disassemble ink cartridges. • White ink should be shaken 100 times after more than 3 days. • Shaking too roughly may damage the internal pack, which may result in leaks. • It may not be possible to agitate the ink well unless there is enough ink left. Tilt the cartridge until it is vertical. • When using white ink: This message is displayed after the machine has been on for 24 hours, or when it is turned on ini- tially. White ink should be shaken regularly, because the ink components are more likely to settle. Also be sure to shake it before printing. • Ink in other colors should be shaken about once a week.P.4-4 [Ink maintenance] Part A (opening for the needle) Part B (gap on the bottom) Hold firmly with a paper towel and gently shake Repeat Part A Shake white cartridge[ENT]
