 Add ink and fill the print head with ink

 Ink installation

You can find the main ink box after opening the cabinet door of the ink path on the left
of the machine. Please infuse ink in accordance with the colors marked on the main ink boxes.
K indicates black, C indicates blue, M indicates red, and Y indicates yellow. For the one
without color marking, please fill it with cleaning fluid. The following is an instance
diagram:

 Inject ink into the auxiliary ink box

Before injecting ink into the auxiliary ink box, make sure that there is enough ink in the main
ink box.

 Ensure that there is enough ink in the main ink box and inspect the machine before
starting it;

 When energizing the printer at the first time, auxiliary ink boxes are empty, so ink
pumps of different colors will work automatically to pump ink from main ink boxes into
auxiliary boxes;

 When all the ink pumps stop working, it means all the auxiliary ink tanks have been
injected with ink;

 The transient buzzer sound during the process may be resulted from rather long ink
pump route and timeout;

 In the event of ink pump not working or prolonged alarming of buzzer, please switch off
the machine in time and examine. In case of failure to settle the problem, please contact

55
 the local dealer or after-sales department of our company immediately.

 Inject ink into the print head

Since it is a very important operation to inject ink into the print head, please operate in
strict accordance with requirements. There are two critical operations, namely print head
cleaning and venting.

 Print head cleaning:

The new print head must be purged with cleaning fluid before being injected with
ink for the first time because protective liquid has been injected into the nozzle of print
head, so the ink can only be injected into until the protective liquid being cleaned.

In view of the power of cleaning fluid pump, it is suggested that you clean a single
print head every time. First, put the three-way valve of single print head at purging state
with other print head valves off, then unscrew corresponding two-way valve, press purge
button and make the cleaning fluid flow out from two-way valve, clean the pipelines of
this part. About one or two seconds later, tighten two-way valve and make the cleaning
fluid cascade out from nozzle for about five seconds. Clean other print heads according
to the above method. After five minutes, clean all the print heads again as per the above
method.

Purge operation for print heads is that print heads are directly washed by cleaning
solution pumped by the cleaning solution pump, so positive pressure is unnecessary and
it is not required to handle the air-channel three-way valve.

 Venting of print head:

Inject ink into the print head after cleaning print head. Venting operation shall be
conducted together with ink injection with the specific operation process as follows:

1. It is also suggested that you conduct venting for every single print head, that is to say,
venting operation is conducted for only one print head every time with valve body of
other print heads off.

2. Set the corresponding three-way valve in working state firstly.

3. Unscrew the corresponding two-way valve core to ensure a smooth ink outlet. Press
positive pressure button and impress ink from the auxiliary ink tank into the print head,
then ink will flow out from two-way valve core. Observing the flow state of the ink
from the ink outlet and tightening the two-way valve as a blast of the ink falls plumb
down without air bubbles, then the ink flows out from the jet orifice. (Tips: it may take
long to impress ink for the first time with such long pipelines, moreover, there is no
sufficient ink in the auxiliary ink tank, please hold on for a while after positive pressure
so as to enable ink supply system to refill the auxiliary ink box and then continue
positive pressure).

4. Carry out the above operation for every print head in succession. Place all three-way
valves of the ink path in working state after completing venting for all print heads.
56
 Press Positive Pressure button and impress ink for all colors again, then complete ink
injection of print heads.

5. Meanwhile, in case of bubble found in ink tube leading to print head, which affects ink
out of the print head, the above method can also be adopted to carry out venting
operation.

 Positive pressure ink

Positive pressure ink refers to impressing ink of the auxiliary ink tank into the print head
by pressing positive pressure button to eliminate the air in the nozzle and flush through the
nozzle blocked not so seriously, as well as solve some common problems of printing
disconnection.

You can impose positive pressure to either a single print head or several or all print heads
with the specific operation steps as follows:

 Pushing the carriage to the non-operating position, i.e. the leftmost of the machine.

 Making sure that the ink-path three-way valve corresponding to the print head required
to press ink stays in the state of working; the ink-path three-way valves corresponding to
other print heads shall be rotated to the closing state if other print heads are on the same
color.

 Press positive pressure button and hold for a while, observe the ink out status of print
head and release positive pressure button when you feel ink flowing smoothly.

 Wait for two seconds and wipe the nozzle surface with clean non-woven fabrics.

 Negative pressure adjustment

Since negative pressure is an important factor for guarantying print quality, the operation of
its adjustment is crucial. The target of adjustment is to make ink form meniscus in every nozzle
printer. As long as sound meniscus is maintained, we can assure that ink droplets are ejected at a
high speed with few flight drops. Vacuum negative pressure system is applied to this printer.

 Introduction to the negative pressure system

The foregoing section has introduced that one-way negative pressure design (for colorful
print heads) is provided for FH series products. If an optional ink degasser is provided, there
will be more than one way-negative pressure system, so high negative pressure should be
provided for ink degasser. All negative pressures are regulated by a vacuum pressure switch
on the left front center panel (see "Left front center panel"). The degasser is mounted with a
high negative pressure switch and a vacuum pressure assembly, which can be seen when
opening the left side door at the back of the machine. (See the Item 12 of Front View)

 Introduction to the vacuum pressure switch

57
 The vacuum pressure switch is shown in the figure, and the function of each area is
introduced as follows:

1：Pressure display area It displays the current pressure in the vacuum tank

2 ： Setting pressure

3：Signal output prompt It prompts the current output states of UT1 and OUT2

MODE：Mode setting, the up and down keys are used for

4：Button operation area
setting values or turning pages

Note: Please refer to Annex I or the Manual for detailed operation of the vacuum pressure
gauge.

 Vacuum Negative Pressure Adjustment

Corresponding parameters have been set when the machine leaves the factory. However, the
set valves may be needed to be micro-adjusted accordingly according to the local environment.
You may adjust negative pressure value setting as per the following method:

58
 The above is the setting method for setting value in differential mode, and the setting method
in EASY mode is similar. But you only need to set values of P-1 and P-2. For more detailed
operations, please refer to Annex I.

 Introduction to the circulating positive and negative pressures

According to the design of EPSON S3200 print head, ink circulation system is required to form
small circulation knot at the secondary ink box to ensure the flow of the print head. The EPSON
S3200 print head controls the ink circulation by using four-positive pressure and one-negative
pressure; the positive and negative pressure difference is applied to achieve ink circulation, and
negative pressure is applied to ensure the continuity of ink of the print head.

 Ink use guidelines

62
 Daily maintenance instructions

1. Keep the working environment of the printer clean and ventilated, and clean dust and ink on
the printer periodically;

2. Keep the work surface clean. Every time before starting it up, check whether the working
board is cleaned, to avoid scratching the print head;

3. Inject lithium base greases into the slider by grease gun every forty hours operation, to reduce
its frictional resistance against the guide rail and extend its service life;

4. Maintain an appropriate belt tightening of the ink carriage timing belt. The belt tightening of
the ink carriage timing belt can be adjusted after removing the upper left end cap. After the
adjustment, connecting screws must be fixed tightly;

5. Every time after finishing refilling ink, make sure the cover of the main ink tank is screwed
tightly. Wipe off residual ink on the outer wall of the tank;

6. For positive pressure printing, after wiping the print head, flash spray for around 10 seconds
first before printing pictures, to achieve sound meniscus formed by ink droplets in the nozzle;

7. The area around the nozzle must be maintained clean. No residual ink, dust or fiber is
allowed. Nozzle shall not be scratched;

8. Since the ink and the cleaning fluid contain strong solvent, they mustn’t contact electrical
components and wires. If ink or cleaning fluid spilled on them accidentally, they would be
wiped off cleanly as soon as possible;

9. Clear liquid waste in the liquid waste box in time;

10. Every day before the startup and shutdown, it is recommended to print nozzle test chart to
check whether the nozzle is in normal condition. Provided that ink outflows brokenly, press
the ink or clean the nozzle to make it work properly.

 Print head maintenance instructions

As the core component, the print head is much expensive and sensitive, which requires good
maintenance. Otherwise, print quality and its service life would be seriously affected. Print head
maintenance instructions are as follows:

1. In using the printer, please use the ink appointed by the manufacturer. Do not change the ink
at will, or it might lead to malfunction of print head;

2. When the device stops running, maintenance methods of different sorts should be adopted in
accordance with the length of downtime:

 If printer downtime is within a working day and you are not willing to turn it off, it
should be set under the state of flash spray. Before the flash work, please confirm the
63
 status of print head. If it is not in a good condition, carry out the ink press operation
first;

 If the downtime is over 12 hours to one day, it is recommended that the valve knob be
screwed to the closed state, the ink carriage be stopped within the upper left case, power
be switched off, a layer of non-woven fabrics be embedded into the wet protection tray,
a small amount of cleaning liquid be injected into the wet protection tray (non-woven
fabrics should be drenched), and then the print head can be moisturized with the wet
protection tray, during which operation make sure that the whole nozzle surface is in
touch with cleaning liquid.

 If the downtime is within two days, the maintenance operations are the same as the
previous one. Meanwhile, non-woven fabrics in the wet protection tray should be
replaced every day, and new cleaning liquid should be injected into it (Cleaning liquid
needs to be changed, because components of moisturizing function within it are easy to
volatilize);

 If the downtime is over three days, clean up the ink within the print head following its
cleaning method, inject a little cleaning liquid into it (Leave some cleaning liquid in the
print head when doing the cleaning.)Meanwhile, moisturize the nozzle surface with the
wet protection tray according to method 2. In addition, replace non-woven fabrics in the
wet protection tray every two days and inject new cleaning liquid into it.

3. Scrubbing the nozzle panel

 Every time when pressing ink with positive press or after cleaning the print head, scrub
the nozzle panel. Wipe away residual ink and cleaning liquid on the nozzle panel, to
prevent it dropping onto the printer or print media;

 When scrubbing the nozzle panel, dedicated non-woven fabrics should be used, and
make sure of its cleanness. Non-woven fabrics contaminated by dust, stain ,oil or water,
especially the one which has been used to scrub ink, should not be used to wipe the
nozzle panel, as ink on it can lead to a seriously blocked nozzle;

 Scrub the nozzle panel along a single direction rather than back and forth. Do not scrub
it with great strength, but touch it lightly, to avoid damage of nozzle surface;

 Dispose the used non-woven fabrics properly. Do not reuse it.

4. Adjusting the print head condition in printing

 To guarantee print quality, please make sure every nozzle on the print head is in good
condition, whose condition can be improved by pressing ink with positive Negative
pressure or doing the cleaning. The following items are very important to guarantee the
nozzle condition;

 The requirement of printer’s working environment shall be maintained well, especially

the temperature. The print head temperature shall be between 15℃ - 26℃. Print quality
may be affected if the temperature is below 15℃ or above 28℃;

64
  Make sure the print head exhaust completely, and no bubble remains in it;

 Adjust voltage and negative pressure of print head. A higher print head voltage can
improve the accuracy and color saturation of ink droplets, but it can cause the ink
outflow to be frequently broken as well.

 Ink use guidelines

1. Special Note: Any part of the ink or ink path shall not touch water or any solution
containing water molecule, otherwise gel would come into being which will block the ink
path and even the print head.

2. Safety instructions:

Some chemical substances contained in ink are of very low toxicity and irritation, which
will irritate eyes and respiratory system and cause allergic reaction. Contact with ink can be
effectively reduced with sound ventilating device and personal protective devices. When
dealing with ink, acrylic gloves and work clothes should be worn. If ink spills onto the skin,
it should be washed immediately with soap-suds. Eating, drinking and smoking are forbidden
in the workspace.
3. Storage of ink:

Ink should be stored in sealed containers and placed in a cool, dry place with good

ventilation no long-period exposure to light (including indoor sunlight, illumination light, etc.)

and with temperature of 10℃ ～40℃. Although ink has a storage duration of 12 months, it

recommended to use it up within 3 months. Pay attention to the production date. Out-of-date

ink cannot be used. Ink viscosity is greatly affected by temperature and varies according to

different seasons, especially in summer and winter, which would have influence on printing

quality. In addition, ink producers would make adjustment in ink viscosity in keeping with

seasons. Thus, you must see to it that you choose ink on the basis of actual environmental

temperature.

control vacuum, whose range is -100~-100KPa. 4-core interface is applied to the control signal
line and negative pressure gauge, which is completely compatible with ink plate as well as SMC
ZSE 30A. DP-101 Pressure gauge has two display screens, among which the main display shows
real-time value, while the minor screen shows the setting value.

(I) (A) Calibration of reference pressure of the pressure gauge (When setting parameters for the
first time, the method below must be followed).
The calibration of its reference pressure has already been completed when ex-factory, i.e. standard
atmospheric pressure is set as the datum zero. Normally, calibration is not required.
When reference pressure changes due to some unpredictable factors, pressure calibration is
required. Otherwise, the displayed Negative pressure would deviate from actual pressure.
Calibrating method: 1. Disassemble the air tube behind the pressure gauge,
2. Energize the pressure gauge, and some value will be shown on its screen.
3. Press both ▲and▼ buttons for over 2 seconds at the same time, and the main
display will show the value 0.0.
Calibration of reference pressure has been completed.

(II) Working mode

The negative pressure gauge always display “RUN Mode”, while “Menu Setting Mode” is
used for basic settings, and “PRO Mode” is used for advanced functions.
Under “RUN Mode”, reference values can be adjusted, locked and so on. Under “Menu
Setting Mode”, basic settings, such as setting the output mode and switching between NO and
NC, can be operated. Under “PRO Mode”, advanced functionalities like Hysteresis adjustment
and copy function, can be set.
During the normal operation of “RUN Mode”, by pressing “MODE” button, the mode
switching button, for 2 seconds, it will switch to “Menu Setting Mode”, while by pressing
“MODE” button for 5 seconds, it will switch to “PRO Mode”.

(III) Output mode and setting

As for comparison output 1 and comparison output 2, output mode can be chosen among
EASY Mode as well as Hysteresis Mode and Window Comparator Mode.

1. Long press “MODE” button for 2 seconds to enter Menu Setting, and the main display
shows EASY while the minor screen shows OUT1.
2. Through pressing ▲and▼ button, to set OUT1 output mode and select EASY mode,
Hysteresis mode or Window Comparator mode.It shows EASY for the first energizing.
The picture below shows the display interface of the negative pressure gauge:

3. Press “MODE” button to enter OUT2 setting, the main display shows OFF for the first
energizing. Through pressing ▲and▼ button, to set OUT2 output mode. The picture
below demonstrates display interface of the negative pressure gauge:

4. Press “MODE” button to enter NO/NC switching interface, and select NO/NC through
▲and▼ buttons. We set output 1 as NO and output 2 as NC. The picture below shows the
display interface of the negative pressure gauge:

5. Press “MODE” button to enter response time setting, and set default time as 2.5. The
picture below shows the display interface of the negative pressure gauge:

6. Press “MODE” button to enter color conversion setting of the main display, and select the
color of main display through ▲and▼ buttons. The picture below
shows the display interface of the negative pressure gauge:

7. Press “MODE” button to enter unit setting. The default unit of negative pressure gauge is
shown as KPa, which is the unit we need. Unit could be selected through
▲and▼ buttons. The interface is shown as the picture

8. By this time Menu setups have been circled a circle. Press “MODE” button once again to
76
 return. The main display shows actual air pressure values. Or long press “MODE” button
for 2 seconds during the setting to return to the home page.

9. Long press for 5 seconds to enter into “PRO Mode”, under which we only need to set
Hysteresis fixed value as 11. With the default value 111, the negative pressure gauge
fluctuates too frequent in the process of control. Operation
procedure: Press “MODE” button three times, and the interface of
the pressure gauge is shown like this

Adjust the value to by ▲and▼ buttons

Long press “MODE” button for 5 seconds and return to the home page.
10. Press “MODE” button to enter P-1 and P-2 value setting, and set the value as the
pressure imposed on the ink-feeding system during normal operation.

Note:
1. Above values are common-used setting values. Specific values may be sort of
different.
2. The instantaneous display of pressure gauge at its being energized is not in
measuring status, but as follows:

It means that the pressure gauge will enter the working state after being energized for 5
seconds.

II. Vacuum Negative Pressure Adjustment

The vacuum negative pressure is adjusted by the vacuum pressure gauge; the negative
pressure is set when the machine is delivered. Users may slightly adjust the negative pressure

77
 value. Note: When setting the negative pressure gauge to change the negative pressure
setting, please be ensure to unplug the air hose of the negative pressure gauge or ventilate
the other air lines of the negative pressure system to prevent the output of the negative
pressure gauge from causing excessive overpressure and creating back-suction of the
secondary ink tank.

The specific adjustment is as follows:

1. Calculation of the setting value of negative pressure gauge:

A) Pressure difference mode: Three values are required to be set on the negative
pressure gauge, namely,Lo_1, Hi_1, andP_2, whose unit is Kpa; among them, p_2 = Lo_1 =
Hi_1 - 0.2;

For example: Hi _1 is set to -50; -50 - 0.2= -50.2; the setting values of p_2 and Lo_1 is -50.2;
the final negative pressure value ranges from Lo_1 to Hi _1.

B) EASY Mode: Two values are required to be set on the negative pressure gauge,
namely,P_1,P_2, whose unit is Kpa; among them, p_2 = P_1 - 0.2;

For example:P_1 is set to -1.6; -1.6 - 0.2= -1.8; the setting values of p_2 is -1.8; Final
negative pressure value ranges from P_1 to p_2.

2. Operation to change the setting values of negative pressure gauge:

A) Pressure difference mode: Press “MODE” button to enter the setting state, and
the minor screen will show Lo_1 for one time, then the value of Lo_1 will be displayed,
and adjust its value through ▲or ▼button.

Press “MODE” button again to enter the setting state of Hi_1, the minor screen will show
Hi_1 for one time and then the value of Hi_1 will be displayed, and adjust the value by
pressing ▲or▼ button.

Press “MODE” again to enter the setting state of P_2, the minor screen will show P_2
for one time, then the value of P_2 will be displayed, and adjust its value by pressing
▲or▼ button.

B) EASY Mode: Press “MODE” button to enter the setting state, and the minor
screen will show P_1 for one time, then the value of P_1 will be displayed, and adjust its
value by pressing ▲or ▼button.

Press “MODE” again to enter the setting state of P_2, the minor screen will show P_2 for
one time, then the value of P_2 will be displayed, and adjust its value by pressing ▲or
▼button.

Caution: When adjusting the setting values of the pressure gauge, the interval between
your settings should not exceed 0.2 at best.

III. Machine Parameters
