1. Safety
1.1 Safety Outline
• Only trained individuals should attempt maintenance of this equipment. Failure to do
so could result in damage or personal injury.
• Lethal voltages are present within this equipment when it is connected to the
mains electrical supply. Only trained and authorized personnel must carry out
the maintenance work. Observe all statutory electrical safety codes and
practices. Unless it is necessary to run the printer, disconnect the printer from
the mains electrical supply before removing the covers or attempting any
service or repair activity. Non-adherence to this warning can result in death or
personal injury.
• The consumables used for the ink jet printer are combustible liquid. The consumables
used must comply with the instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Meanwhile, the ink jet printer must also be subject to regular inspection and
maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards.
1.2 Safety Measures
• The ink jet printer must be installed in a safe, firm and stable way with good
grounding.
• The ink jet printer must be installed at a ventilated place, and far from the heat
source, fire source and static electricity. Smoking near the ink jet printer is prohibited.
• The covers of the containers for the printing ink, solvent and cleaning agent used for
the ink jet printer must be tightly closed, and they shall be stored in a ventilated
environment far from the ink jet printer.
• The ink jet printer shall be maintained clean, because the consumable used may be
the combustible liquid. The printing ink may also be subject to combustion after being
dried.
• A carbon dioxide dry powder fire extinguisher shall be arranged near the ink jet
printer.
1.3 Safety Considerations
• The ink jet printer is non-contact ink-jet equipment, and is not applicable for all
occasions (such as the explosive environment). The user must comply with the safety
criterion and provide an appropriate working environment during use. Otherwise, the
consequences caused shall be assumed by the user.
• The consumables of the original factory or permitted by the original factory (including
the printing ink, solvent, cleaning agent, maintenance products and so on) must be
used. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be ahered to and carefully read
and observed. Otherwise, the consequences caused shall be assumed by the user.
• Those who may touch the consumables during operation shall wear the ink-resistant
gloves and protective glasses.
1
1.4 Handling
• The machine with printing ink or solvent in it must be handled in a vertical way. If the
ink jet printer cannot be always maintained at the vertical state, the printing ink and
solvent shall be completely discharged before handling.
1.5 Responsibilities
• During use and maintenance of the equipment, the company shall not be responsible
for any consequence caused by any behavior against the safety instructions, safety
requirements and basic safety operation criterion.

Notice:
Frequent cleaning or startup and shutdown will cause dilution of ink, which influences
the jet printing quality. If the warning or failure icon appears after startup, please refer
to the common failure solution.
345.2.2 Correct jet alignment
Description: after the printer has started, the ink jet is sprayed from the nozzle, and
recycled by the gutter pipe.
Side view:
Front view:
Prompt:
For ink jet adjustment method, see the section of " 5.7 Ink Jet adjustment ".
355.2.3 Correct inkjet breakpoint
The breakpoint is generated after the ink jet printer has started normally. The
breakpoint state directly influences the jet printing effect and jet printing durability.
Good breakpoint roughly depends on the following three factors:
• Appropriate and stable pressure
• Correct ink viscosity
• Correct ink dot modulation value
The observation method is as follows:
1) Take out the magnifying glass in the standard configuration, and place it about
15mm above the red LED lamp of the charge electrode
2) Slightly adjust the viewing distance of the magnifying glass vertically to observe
the breakpoint in the following figure:
3) The breakpoint state can be adjusted through the "Nozzle Set " in the "Settings" -
"Printer Config” interface;
365.3 Stop and clean the ink jet printer
5.3.1 Stop and clean
After equipment use, shut down according to the standard steps, and conduct
intervention if cleaning is necessary.
Standard steps for shutdown operation:
1) Press the Stop Jet this is normal STOP with internal solvent cleaning
2) During cleaning after shutdown, remove the printhead cover to observe whether
the printhead is dirty. In case of any dirt, fill the provided cleaning bottle with the
appropriate cleaning fluid for cleaning.
3) Only after the status bar has shown STOPPED, the power supply of the ink jet
printer can be turned off;
5.3.2 Shutdown and cleaning (power off during use)
If abnormal shutdown of the equipment is caused due to power off, ink-jet must be
restarted at the earliest time after power on. It shall be normally cleaned and shut
down after planned shutdown. Otherwise, some pipelines of the machine may be
blocked, causing permanent damage of the ink jet printer.
5.3.3 Shutdown and cleaning (long-term stop)
Due to the quick-dry characteristic of the ink of the ink jet printer, if long-term use stop
and storage are required, it is suggested to empty the ink and clean the system.
For details, see the sections of ink emptying and system cleaning.

415.6 Nozzle cleaning
When the nozzle is blocked, manual cleaning is required. The operational procedures
are as follows:
1) Enter "Settings" - "Cleaning", and click either “Nozzle Flush” or “Wash Nozzle ”,
The printer will execute the program and automatically complete
a) Nozzle Flush – Internal wash of the nozzle using solvent from solvent
cartridge（Need to place a container under the printhead to collect the
outgoing liquid）
b) Wash Nozzle – (shown below). Applies suction to nozzle return pipe allowing
a backflush with wash bottle
2) With the “Wash Nozzle” selected, manually clean the position shown in the
following figure with special cleaning agent;

Horizontal alignment : Slightly loosen the screw “A” and rotate the screw “B” slightly ,then the jet
stream can be horizontal moved.
Vertical alignment : Loosen the screw “C” and rotate the screw “D” slightly ,then the jet stream can
be vertical moved.
