Instructions
WARNING AND NOTE：

1. Do not remove ink cartridge while printing;

Do not set parameters while printing;
When machine is in printing, any operation will damage core board.
2. If machine finishes working, take out cartridges at once and cap it well.
3. Please turn off machine with correct steps: click Shut down→Press power button
on right side after screen is off.
4. Please don’t put machine in wet conditions.
5. When cleaning machine, keep away from water, and do not use chemical solvent.
6. Do not use hard objects to crash machine in case of damage.

Common problems and ways of handling

1)Please check ink remaining；
2)Please check whether print setting and systems setting parameters are accurate or
not;
3)Please check whether nozzle surface is dirty, and use dust-free tissue to clean it.

5.1.1Style

Print Mode (Trig mode)：

①Sensor: connect external eye through interface to start printing.
②Automatic: no need any trigger condition, it will print automatically.
Speed: When use online printing, adjust speed to fit conveyor speed. (if connect encoder,
then don’t need adjust this value). ‘0’ means fastest. When machine speed is too fast,
character will be too narrow. Then need to make speed value bigger. When machine speed
is too low, character will be too wide. Then need to make speed value smaller.

minimum
Direction: direction of printing. Normal, X Reverse, Y Reverse and XY Reverse.
Nozzle line (Spray Mode): Left nozzle or right nozzle means two lines of pinhole on the
cartridge nozzle. Left line is left nozzle, right line is right nozzle. When one of them gets
8
wrong, can choose the other nozzle
Print Width (Sync Freq): when connecting an encoder, Sync Freq means width of character.
When number gets larger, character will be wider.
Gray: When number gets larger, character color will be darker.
Sync Encoder (Use sync wheel): if machine connects a external encoder, need tick this.
Sound: If tick sound, there will be beep sound after printing finish.

9.Multi-heads combination printing examples

Normal Printing

Example1: The first line comes out earlier than the second line.

Figure 1

When multi-heads combination printing shows effect as Figure1, the first line comes out
earlier than the second line. Ways of how to adjust it to normal effect:
1. Stop printing and keep conveyor speed and printer speed unchanged.
2. Check print head, keep print head vertical with stand and keep parallel with conveyor
belt.
3. Settings- Print settings- Spray settings- Offset Value.
4. Offset is the value of distance from start point to second line. If the first line comes out
earlier than the second line. Need reduce offset value.

17
Example2: The first line comes out later than the second line.

Figure 2

When multi-heads combination printing shows effect as Figure2, the first line comes out later
than the second line. Ways of how to adjust it to normal effect:
1. Stop printing and keep conveyor speed and printer speed unchanged.
2. Check print head, keep print head vertical with stand and keep parallel with conveyor
belt.
3.Settings- Print settings- Spray settings- Offset Value.
4.Offset is the value of distance from start point to second line. If the first line comes out later
than the second line. Need increase offset value.

Example3: A blank line in combination printing.

Figure 3

When multi-heads combination printing shows effect as Figure3, there is a blank line in
printing. Ways of how to adjust it to normal effect:
1. Stop printing and keep conveyor speed and printer speed unchanged.
2. Check print head. Make total part of print head rotate clockwise slightly. And keep print
head vertical with stand and keep parallel with conveyor belt.

18
Example4: Two lines have coincident part in combination printing

Figure 4
When multi-heads combination printing shows effect as Figure4: Two lines have coincident
part. Ways of how to adjust it to normal effect:
1. Stop printing and keep conveyor speed and printer speed unchanged.
2. Check print head. Make total part of print head rotate counterclockwise slightly. And keep
print head vertical with stand and keep parallel with conveyor belt.

Correct procedures of operation:

① Install all parts on conveyor, connect power cable and connect cable between controller
and nozzle, insert ink cartridge, and turn on machine at last.
② Edit message and save it
③ Choose file need to print ( Edit -- Manage File -- Load File), message need print will show
on main menu.
⑤ Click Print (Print will be red Printing) means to start printing
⑥ Test speed and sensor position first. Should fix two factors, conveyor speed and sensor
position. If printing is too narrow, please add machine speed value. If printing words is too
wide, please reduce machine speed value. (If connect external encoder, then no need to
adjust speed.)
⑦ Click Print again in the menu (it becomes white again), printing work is complete.
⑧ Turn off: Shut down - OK - Press right side button after screen is off.
⑨ Take out ink cartridge and cap it well
Note: If you want change any parameter, please must stop printing first. When machine is in
printing status, any operation will damage system.
