Chapter One Safety Regulations

Safety Regulations:

Please read the following guidance carefully before using the ATPJET High-Speed

Intelligent Inkjet Plotter:

 Put the plotter on the level ground to avoid needless troubles; when the ground is slant,

the plotter cannot work.

 Assembly the plotter and adjust stand feet height, until the whole machine reaches the

level state.

 Do not put the plotter on shaking or unstable ground;

 Please connect the plotter with power supply according to rated voltage and don't

connect the plotter to the socket without stable voltage, as the unstable power supply

will lead to reduce plotter performance and even burn down power supply board; please

install the regulator when the power is unstable;

 The power supply plug should be connected with ground line. Don't remove the pin on

top of the plug to ensure good ground connection with plotter. If the machine isn't

connected to the ground, it will result in electric discharge by too much electric charge

accumulation. which may be harmful to people and also destroy plotter;

 Avoid connecting the plotter to the same power outlet with high-power equipments. If it

is connected to the same electric plug with other equipments in parallel, please confirm

that required power of these equipments does not exceed the maximum electric current

of power plug cable;

Don't use dilapidated or worn power cables;

 please pull plug out of the power outlet, if not using the plotter for long time;

 Pull out the power plug before cleaning the plotter;

 Don't drop liquids into plotter, otherwise the plotter would be short-circuited and the
MANUAL OF ATPJET

component would be destroyed.

 Don’t fix or dismantle the plotter unless the user manual has an elucidation;

 Don’t jam or put goods in the working area of the plotter.

 Don’t plunge your hand into the plotter to handle the small ink vehicle and inner spare-

parts of machine;

Chapter Two Application Notice

Whether you are familiar with the New Power ATPJT High-Speed Intelligent Inkjet

Plotter series or not, please read the following items carefully before operate the machine:

1 Environmental Condition:

(1). Working temperature for the plotter is 0-35 degree; don’t put or use the machine in

places with strong light irradiation, radiation and heat energy.

(2). Working humidity scope of plotter under the normal temperature is 20%-80%;

don’t put plotter under the moist and dusty places. Once vapor coagulates inside of

the plotter, the dust enters into the plotter, which will result in short-circuit or poor

contact so as to affect plotter performance.

(3). Avoid the strong electromagnetism interference and don’t put magnetic things by

the side of the plotter.

2 Other Notice

1. Don't move the cartridge holder by hand; otherwise it will damage plotter.

2. Do not twist the retaining nut in the cartridge holder, except handing ink cartridge.

3. Don't try to lubricate plotter; otherwise it will cause machine malfunction.

4. Please ensure the switch is off before you access or cut off power supply.

5. Please place the dust proof cover over the plotter to prevent the dust entering into the

plotter after use.

6. Avoid turning on and off the plotter frequently in order to prevent performance of

electronic components.
MANUAL OF ATPJET
7. In the process of plotting, don’t rely your body on machine or put hand on the rail.

The actual value of X and Y is 1000, which is system


default value.

Measured value is used to adjust garment CAD software.

The output proportion can be compensated.

There are two adjusting methods.


1. Use the garment CAD software to revise the size. The plotter keeps the default values.

2. Use the plotter to revise the size. The garment CAD software keeps the default value.

Finally, input the result of measured value to measured value dialog:

(shown as below)

Attention: 1) When you are in the process of parameter setting, please be sure to use

standard or the same scale that you recognize (as some scale also has a very big error);

2) If you still cannot reach your required precision in 1000mm scale range,

please expand the scale. For example, you can draw a 10000mm (10 meters) marker and

carry on actual measurements to calibrate the accuracy and correct its precision.

X, Y value must be filled according to 1000mm and actual measured value. Although this

will waste some time, but it must reach your required precision!

Chapter Seven Common Troubles and Solutions

When you face any problems during the use of plotter, please read below item

carefully in order to find the solution. If you cannot find solution, please contact with us,

please do not repair or dismantle the plotter by yourself!

1 Turn on the machine but no response

The indicator light isn't on, which means the plotter isn't powered. Please check if

power cable is connected with AC socket of plotter, if the power touch is good, if it has

circuit-breaking situation, if it has power output.

2 After turn on the machine cartridge holder running rightwards and cannot stop

Please check if the ink vehicle aligns with magnetic sensor, adjust the sensor,

fasten screws and reposition the sensor.

3 Do not spray ink

Please check if the cartridge has run out, if the nozzle is blocked by dusty. We

recommend using original cartridge.

4 Do not feed and take up paper

Make sure the power is in protection state (over current protection),

Make sure the motor connection is in good condition

Make sure the fore and aft sensors are normal

Make sure the power supply is normal.
