KA NJET-180+ (4C) Operation Manual Precaution

If printer falls down or cover is broken;

14. If the printer does not work well or has an obvious change in property, do not put anything

heavy on it. Do not incline it or put it close to the wall. Do not put it upside down. Do not block

the ventilation holes. Do not use the damaged cable. Never insert or remove the plug with wet

hands.

15. Do not remove the ink cartridge. Open and close the lid of ink cartridge carefully. When

initializing the printer, do not move media bar. Do not use the thinner, benzene, alcohol, etc to

clean the surface of printer. Do not open the cover fixed by screw. Do not use knife to cut

anything hard.

16. Disconnect the power before cleaning. Keep the printer horizontal when moving.

17. Use cuprous cable for grounded cable of power supply and this cable should be put more than

65cm underground.

1.3

Never use fingers to move print head. It may cause damage to the printer.

Always use the power switch to turn off the printer. Never pull out the plug or data cable before

power is shut off.

Keep the print head at its origin position and fix before moving.

1.4

Keep the ink clear from child. Do not let the child touch or drink ink.

If ink splashes onto skin, wash with soap and water. If into eye, wash with water immediately.

Store ink at 1040C.

2. Turn on computer

3. Install media, put down the press bar to press on media.

4. Clean the head and start the self-diagnosis till no nozzle clogging.

5. Trim the pattern for printing, and save it in computer.

6. Enter Production Manager of PhotoPRINT 5 Software

8. Read the pattern for printing.

9. Adjust the position, size, property and resolution of the pattern.

10. Press Send key to print.

11. If clog while printing you can execute operation by details showing on

the LCD.

Press F1 to pause printing, and LCD displays as the chart 6-1 below:

moisturizing position) and does the auto cleaning (may select all colors or one color).

Then P/H carriage moves left to the vacuum cleaning position and does the vacuum

cleaning for 2 times.

1. Flush humectants out of printhead

To moisturize printhead, lots of humectants are injected into the head before it is used. The

humectants must be flushed out for the first using. Before fix the head on the printhead frame,

do the steps as follows: Joint a filter on the In-tube of the head, and then joint an injector--

which fills with flush solution--on the filter. Inject 10-20 ml flush solution to the head to eject the

humectants inside. Then fill the head with flush solution to dissolve the humectants completely

within 5-10 minutes. Finally, flush the head with about 30ml flush solution to eliminate the

humectants completely.

Make sure to operate on a stable and clean platform.

Clean platform for convenient operation;

Dont touch the surface of head and socket with hand;

Clean the filter with flush solution;

Connect a tube on the exit of the head to prevent ink flowing into the socket;

Dont touch the surface of head with other objects;

Be careful to distinguish In tube and Out tube of the head;

Eject flush solution from the nozzles with strength no more than 0.3 kg. (It is better to

hold the injector with single hand and push it with the same thumb.)

2. Moisturize printhead surface

Positive-pressure clean until ink streams out of the nozzles, then scrub the head surface with a

dry clean stick to form a protecting layer of ink on the head surface. The ink on the surface will

stream into the nozzles because of negative pressure.

Never scrub the head surface when head surface is dry, for that will orient air into the

nozzles and shape bubbles in the pipelines and affect the printing quality.

3. Test printing

Design some color blocks as 20x20cm with some image operating software, and set color

luminance as 100%, 50% and 10%. Print the color blocks under test mode and check the print

result. If the print result is normal which means no ink-break and no ink spots on the mediums,

the printer can work normally.

Then P/H carriage moves left to the vacuum cleaning position and does the vacuum

cleaning for 2 times.

2. Manual Clean: If pressing F1, the P/H carriage moves left to the clean point. Then clean

heads by hand with a cleaning stick.

1. Ink replacing

Flush the print head with the original ink first, and then flush it again with new flush

solution, which matches the new ink.

After replacing the new ink, need the professional service engineer to adjust the Print head

Voltage value (within 28V33V) by adjusting the relevant adjustable resistor on PH drive

PWBA, which matches the new ink. See 5.3.8.
