Please put the media between the two feed rollers, thread through the feeding wheels and press wheels, align the media edge, press the media handle, move the media and see if it is flat or not. If not, please do it again.

3.2.3. Installation Print head

Firstly, please fix the print head, secondly, connect the ink tube and print head ink inlet tubes and thirdly connect the cable between the print head and transforming board. Please remember to block the outlet after the print head can jet.

Cleaning print head: Clean the print head one by one with the cleaning solution. Please keep the cleaning solution in the print head at least 10 minutes in order to get rid of the protection liquid inside the print head absolutely. Additionally, please let off the cleaning solution from the print head completely.

When installing or uninstalling the print heads, please do not turn on the printer power. Please

wear special gloves to keep from static. The static will damage the small print heads chips and print heads.

3.2.4 Testing the Electric Circuit Board

Testing the color boar: The light for the 12v and 24 are on and these lights are winking when the computer loading the program, but not printing. If so, it means that the color board is working well.




Print head chip: If the light on the chip glitters, it means that the chip is working well.

The servo motor board: The status light shines, the ink supply light is on when supplying ink and the 12v and 24 v indicators light is on all the time and distance switch indicator light is off all the time. If so, it means that the servo motor board works well.

PCI card: The power indicator light is on, the direction light is on when moving and two lights are on all the time when working. If so, it means that the PCI card works well.

3.2.5 Check the Raster Positioning System

Check if the raster is installed well or not: it should be straight and tension, the blocks should be close to the raster, and the two sides should be fixed firmly.

Check the Raster sensor: should be 1-2mm to the raster top edge.

Check raster: if there is scar, or there is ink, oil on it.

3.2.6. Ink Supply

Supply the ink to the sub ink tank:

A) Make sure all the ink tube is connected well.

B) Turn-on the printer general power.

C) Connect the ink level sensor of each color to floater accordingly.

D) Make sure 4 or 6 ink pumps to start work and second ink tank refilling the ink.

When you turn on the ink-supply power, the indicator light which is on the ink-supply board will be shining, and

ink-pumps will be turning. Then the secondary ink tank will reserve ink and the pump will stop working. It is because when

The ink rises to a certain level , the ink-level sensor inside the secondary ink tank sends signal to the pump.

Supply ink to the print head

。Please connect the print head ink outlet and inlet ink tube and connect a small length of small size ink tube with the print head ink outlet tube. Press down the positive switch to let the ink come in from the




inlet ink tube. Please lift this length of the tube when the ink is out from the ink tube. Normally, the ink will flow from the print head caused from the positive pressure

3.2.7. Start Printing

7.3. Print head Maintenance

7.3.1. Print head maintenance reason

The importance for print head maintenance as following:

The life of print head

The stable performance of print head

The quality of printing

The usage maintenance of print head will effect the motion of print head in all the system directly . The purpose of maintenance is to keep the base case of print head working: clean the ink on the nozzle and the waste ,drive the air in the nozzle tube. The standard of the environment above according to the environment of setting the printer , the work loading of the system , the type of ink ,the printing material , and the tactic for maintenance of print head.




7.3.2. The tactic of maintenance

A．Maintenance during printer operation

This maintenance is carried out during printer running. It is an automatic function which is executed at specified time during printing, it support a reliable and continuous printing for the printing orders.

B． Maintenance for short term

Maintenance for short term should be need when the machine is in work-off for a while. For example, it should be required at the very beginning of printing or after finishing the work. Suggestion is that the maintenance should be an autoimmunization system in order to operate repeatedly and unfailingly.

C．Maintenance for long term

Maintenance for long term should be needed when work is finished all day or the whole system be closed absolutely. All in all, the long-term maintenance is carried out with the state of work-off.

7.3.3. Print Head Maintenance

You can adopt one or mixed the follow daily maintenance ways:

A．Press and washing

Press and washing ways include two important functions:

To clean the air and contamination in the spout.

To clean the contamination in the nozzle.

Such of way could increase the heat of ink supply ,pressing the ink until gush out the hole ink of nozzle.

If the temperature of the print head is different from the environment around, pressing and cleaning can lead the temperature become low, then affect the function of the print head. so before restart, you should do a warm up. one of these ways to avoid this warm up is heating the ink before it come into the print head, then the temperature Is suit for the print head.

B．Vacuum cleaning

This technology to maintenance of print head can make the same impact as pressure cleaning ,but it use vacuum effects nozzle and nozzle board area, drive the ink through the print head from the spout。In order to do success in this technology and use it availably, before use the vacuum ,you should make




a sealed environment around the nozzle .only can use the soft material which has no harm to the nozzle and also do no destroy to the surface 。

C．Mop up cleaning

Mop up cleaning including that use one piece (sh<40) to mop up the nozzle board .mop up cleaning can drive the desiccated fibrin which can’t purge by printing cleaning .but it is possible to bring the new contamination to other spout mop up cleaning should move to one position, keep the waste to the one side .if move both sides, these waste will pileup and attached to the nozzle board. In order to avoid polluted again, the best position is moving orthogonal to the spout. The angularity case of the piece can course some operating problems, but you can choose a better angle.

After mopping up every time, you should put this mop piece to the mat which is renewable and absorbent to clean. in order to avoid that mop piece destroying the nozzle board, mustn’t mop when it is dry, usually before mopping you should do printing cleaning.

D．Vacuum mopping for cleaning

This way for maintenance print head has two main functions:

Drive the more printing ink on the nozzle board.

drive the infectant on the nozzle board

when the mop tube moving in the short distance, when through the nozzle board and spout line nearly, please notice that cannot touching the nozzle board. Mop tube is a thin tube, connected to the vacuum, so the ink can be absorbed along the nozzle board.

E．Mat for sucking ink

When print with some kind of ink, may be you will need some maintenance named “Suck out Ink”. The suck mat can be exoteric, and is cloth or sponge which is capable to suck liquid. Please note to protect the coating of the nozzle plate please do not mop up breadth wise.

The suction cloth or sponge should only touch the coating of the nozzle plate, but do not touch the head place. It is better to suck the remaining ink after print heads extrusion and spray cleaning by this material.

It is better to use this way of maintenance on the Non-Soakage Coating print heads nozzle plate. Because it is hard to contrl the ink distributing on the head nozzle plate after filter absorbing.

After mopping up every time, you should put this mop piece to the mat which is renewable and absorbent to clean. in order to avoid that mop piece destroying the nozzle plate, mustn’t mop when it is dry, usually before mopping you should do printing cleaning.




F．Slipping printing

If the print head with full ink but doesn’t work in a long time, according to the chemic affection of the ink in the spout, the ink touching the air, the quality will be changed. In certain time ,this can affect the function of the print head ,even do a jam in the spout .slipping printing is the technology for using print head, using continuing low frequency to make the fresh ink through the spout. This is good for prepare using the print head. The quantity and the frequency of slipping printing is according to the ink and the system configure and also the experience.

G．The covered hat

This hat cover is a program which used during the print head doesn’t work ，protect the nozzle board be destroyed by dust。This hat is felicitous around the nozzle board, and prevents the air and dust get into the nozzle board. Some hats may have some liquid, this is good for printing ink volatilization, then the spout will be dry。Vista printers design a special part to protect print head for customer, and the customer can choose which they need.

The customer cannot use this slipping printing as the main function, and don’t omit the right ways for maintenance print head。

7.4. The maintenance for the system of M model

The screws of motion parts should be screwed down frequently.

The rail should be lubricated weekly

The gears should be lubricated every half year）

The screws which fixed the print heads should be screwed down monthly

The fastnesses of the printer structures should be fixed yearly.
