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.
MANUAL OF ATPJET
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.
