2.4 Procedures of Assembling
1) Move the packing box to the working site and avoid strong shaking.
2) Disassemble the wooden packing box from top to bottom. Check whether the parts are
complete or not according to the packing list.
3) Lift the printer out by a forklift, and move it to the installation site.
4) Check if the printer is level.
5) Get rid of all the parts that stabilize the carriage holder, and install all the spare parts.
6) Move the carriage to the right of printer, then move back to the left manually. During this
process, check if there is abnormal resistance and carefully inspect the belt & the encoder
sensor are situated in proper position.
7) Ground the printer. The grounded voltage shouldn’t be more than 0.3V, and the grounded
resistance should be less than 4Ω .
8) Install the PCI card into the computer. Check if the wires and data cables are plugged in
properly.
9) Install the output and the rip software.
10) Turn on the printer, and keep your hand on the emergency button for turning off the printer
if problem happens suddenly.
11) Send a file to print to test the condition of the printer.
12) Clean the whole ink supply system with special solvent. Then empty the ink sub-tanks, and
repeat the step twice. At last, empty the remained solvent in the ink supply tubes through
ink sub-tanks.
13) Fill the main tank up with ink. Then empty the ink sub-tanks, and repeat the step twice, in
order to ensure there is no mixture of ink and solvent in the ink supply system.
14) Dip the aluminous caps in the solvent and clean them, in order to ensure no any sundries
exist.
15) Turn off the printer. Take the black washer out from the white cap on the top of the damper,
and then place the washer in the aluminous cap. (Figure 2-1) Stabilize the printhead with
screws. Connect the tube, and tighten the aluminous cap at the ink incoming part on the
top of the damper. Finally, connect the data cable.

Figure 2-1
Attention A: When assemble the aluminous cap, you should screw on the aluminous
cap perpendicularly avoiding to damage the screw thread of the damper.
Attention B: When assemble new printhead, it’s unnecessary that you flush the
printhead additionally with solvent. It’s because there isn’t protective fluid in
printhead nozzles.
16) Fill the printhead with ink by using positive pressure, then wipe the ink droplet on the
surface of printhead plate with sponge stick.
17) Print nozzle checking and observe the condition of printheads. It is recommended to keep
a copy of the test for reference in the future.

Do NOT block the cover on the top of the printer. Do NOT insert any object into the printing platform. Prevent spilling liquid onto the printer. ONLY 220V can be applied. Connect all the power cord to a single socket extension. Avoid sharing the socket with other devices which will be on and off frequently. Avoid using the socket with self-timer control and with the switch on the wall. Keep a distance between any device which will release electro-magnetic field, such as wireless phone. Do NOT use damaged power cord. If using an extra power cord, keep in mind that the total ampere of this device does not exceed the assigned ampere of the power. Also, the total ampere of all the device which connect to single socket cannot exceed the assigned ampere. Do NOT try to repair the printer. When encounter the following circumstance, disconnect the power and contact your local distributor for support: Power cord or plug is damaged; Liquid is spilled onto the printer; The printer fells down or the surface is broken; Printer does not run normally. Chapter 1 Safety Precaution
  • 4. 4 1.2 Handling Printer Caution Do NOT move the carriage when the power is on. Always use the power switch to turn on or off the printer. Do NOT try to remove the data cable or the power cord when the machine is on. Make sure the carriage is stabilized in the origin position during transport. Do NOT touch printing platform during printing. 1.3 Handling Ink Tank Caution Please store ink tanks at the place where children cannot reach. Do NOT let children touch the ink tank. If ink is spilled into eyes, immediately wash with water and see your doctor. Do NOT shake the ink tank, this may cause leakage. Please often check the ink content in main ink tank, avoid unnecessary loss due to lack of ink. Please often check the waste ink tank and replace it in time when it becomes full. 1.4 Printer Installation Site Place the printer on a level floor otherwise it will not operate normally. Avoid placing the printer in the area with huge change of temperature and humidity. Do NOT expose the printer to direct sunlight or heat. Avoid placing the printer in any possible shaking or vibrating area. Leave enough space around the printer to ensure normal ventilation. Place the printer close to the power socket so that power cord can be removed and plugged easily. Chapter 1 Safety Precaution
  • 5. 5 2.1 Environment requirement Keep the room temperature between 20—30℃, and the humidity between 40—60%. Air conditioner and humidifier may require. Keep a distance from strong radiation field. The floor must be level. 2.2 Electrical requirement The printer only supports AC 220V. A transformer is needed if the area is using AC110V. The printer must be well grounded ( the grounded voltage shouldn’t be more than 0.3V, and the grounded resistance should be less than 4Ω ). UPS and voltage stabilizer is highly recommended. 2.3 Computer requirement 1) Basic requirement:  CPU: 2.0 GHz or higher  Memory: 512 Mb or higher  Hard disk: 80 Gb (recommend 20Gb free space)  Mother board: PCI card slot  Network card  Operating system: Microsoft Windows (2000, XP) 2) Recommendatory requirement:  CPU: 3.0 GHz or higher  Memory: 1 Gb or higher  Hard disk: 200 Gb or higher (NTFS format)  Mother board: PCI card slot  Network card  Operating system: Microsoft Windows (2000, XP) NOTICE: Suggest user format your hard disk into 2 partitions (NTFS). The first partition is used for installing OS and other software, the second partition is used to save pictures and work files. Chapter 2 Preparation and Procedures for Assembling
  • 6. 6 2.4 Procedures of Assembling 1) Move the packing box to the working site and avoid strong shaking. 2) Disassemble the wooden packing box from top to bottom. Check whether the parts are complete or not according to the packing list. 3) Lift the printer out by a forklift, and move it to the installation site. 4) Check if the printer is level. 5) Get rid of all the parts that stabilize the carriage holder, and install all the spare parts. 6) Move the carriage to the right of printer, then move back to the left manually. During this process, check if there is abnormal resistance and carefully inspect the belt & the encoder sensor are situated in proper position. 7) Ground the printer. The grounded voltage shouldn’t be more than 0.3V, and the grounded resistance should be less than 4Ω . 8) Install the PCI card into the computer. Check if the wires and data cables are plugged in properly. 9) Install the output and the rip software. 10) Turn on the printer, and keep your hand on the emergency button for turning off the printer if problem happens suddenly. 11) Send a file to print to test the condition of the printer. 12) Clean the whole ink supply system with special solvent. Then empty the ink sub-tanks, and repeat the step twice. At last, empty the remained solvent in the ink supply tubes through ink sub-tanks. 13) Fill the main tank up with ink. Then empty the ink sub-tanks, and repeat the step twice, in order to ensure there is no mixture of ink and solvent in the ink supply system. 14) Dip the aluminous caps in the solvent and clean them, in order to ensure no any sundries exist. 15) Turn off the printer. Take the black washer out from the white cap on the top of the damper, and then place the washer in the aluminous cap. (Figure 2-1) Stabilize the printhead with screws. Connect the tube, and tighten the aluminous cap at the ink incoming part on the top of the damper. Finally, connect the data cable. Chapter 2 Preparation and Procedures for Assembling
  • 7. 7 Figure 2-1 Attention A: When assemble the aluminous cap, you should screw on the aluminous cap perpendicularly avoiding to damage the screw thread of the damper. Attention B: When assemble new printhead, it’s unnecessary that you flush the printhead additionally with solvent. It’s because there isn’t protective fluid in printhead nozzles. 16) Fill the printhead with ink by using positive pressure, then wipe the ink droplet on the surface of printhead plate with sponge stick. 17) Print nozzle checking and observe the condition of printheads. It is recommended to keep a copy of the test for reference in the future. 18) Printhead alignment. 19) Start to Print. Chapter 2 Preparation and Procedures for Assembling Washer
