and remove the ink car cover. The printer head installation operation is performed in the
shutdown state.
1) Plug the printer head into the data cable, fix the printer head and fix the seat.

2) Insert the damper

-7-
3)Plug the head cable into the head board.

Three: Printer Head Height Adjustment

The height and level of the ink car have been adjusted during the production and
commissioning of the factory, but due to factors such as transportation bumps, the
installation and commissioning personnel need to check again whether the fastening
screws of the ink car are loose, whether the bottom plate is horizontal, and whether the
distance between the surface of the printer head and the printing platform is about 2mm.
When adjusting the level of the printer head baseplate, it is necessary to loosen the
fixing screws on both sides of the ink car, and tighten the screws after the adjustment.

-8-
 When adjusting the height of the printer head, it is necessary to loosen the side plate
fixing screws, and tighten the screws after the adjustment is completed.

Four:Ink Fill
1) Add ink to large ink bottles. If the cartridge is equipped, the liquid level in the
cartridge can be maintained at about 1/2 position.

2）Power on the machine and power it on, open the PrintX software, and click
once it is connected, select Ink Pump 1 and Ink Pump 2 in the pop-up
window, click , The ink pump begins to draw ink continuously.After the ink has
filled the ink path and flowed into the waste ink bucket, point, click 。

3）After the device is on standby, take a printer head test. If there are many broken
wires, perform ordinary printer heads cleaning.

Five: Printer Heads Calibration

1. Connect the device and computer using the network cable, open the PintX software,
and confirm that the device is online. For detailed settings, see PrintX Online.
2. Select Print Calibration Interface.

-9-
3.Printer Heads Adjustment

The role of the printer heads adjustment is to check the horizontal tilt of the printer
heads. If the sprinkler head is tilted, the picture print quality will be poor. The
equipment has been installed and debugged in the production link of the factory, and
the user basically does not need to make major adjustments when installing on site,
and fine-tuning can be made.
1) Verticality calibration

Focus on whether the black line and the red line of the calibration figure coincide,
and the coincidence indicates the left and right levels of the printer head. If the black
line and red line stitching are misaligned up and down, the printer head tilt needs to
be adjusted.
2)Inclination calibration

- 10
 Focus on whether the upper and lower stitches of the alignment diagram line
segments are aligned, and the alignment indicates the level of the physical position
of printer heads. If there is a clear left-right misalignment at the line segment splicing,
the printer head tilt needs to be adjusted.
When adjusting the printer head tilt, first loosen the four fastening screws of the
printer head holder, then tighten or loosen the adjustment screws on both sides,
fine-tune the printer head angle, tighten the fixing seat tightening screws, and print
the verification calibration diagram again.

 When the left and right sides of the printer
head are not on the same horizontal line, the left
holder of the printer head needs to be pulled
outwards and the right side needs to be pushed
The misalignment direction of printing to the left

and printing to the right is the same

The front of the printer head is high and low,

generally because it is not completely stuck into
the fixed seat . The printer head needs to be
removed and reinstalled.

Printing to the left and printing to the right are

misaligned in opposite directions

4. Step calibration

Step calibration is the calibration of the paper feed step in the print, ensuring that the front
and back of the picture overlap and the length scale.
1)click , the device automatically prints the step calibration diagram.

2)Find out the line segment left and right coincident position, O position coincident,
step does not need to be adjusted. If the outer line segment at 0 coincides left and
right, you need to enter the corresponding position value in the Step Scale Fine-
Tuning box.

- 12
 Click , fill in the value corresponding to the coincident position in
the Calibration value box, and click .

3)Click .
4)Click again,confirm that the calibration figure 0 position coincides.
5.Vertical Alignment Calibration

Vertical alignment calibration is based on the color printer head, with the No. 2 white
ink printer head aligned horizontally to the left/right horizontally, as well as vertically
aligned front and rear. (G3/G4 means No. 3\ No. 4 printer head, useless)
1) Click , the device will print the calibration diagram.

- 13
 2) Find out where the line segments of each line calibration figure coincide. 0
position coincident alignment means that no adjustment is required, if each row is
aligned outside of 0, the value corresponding to the coincident position is added to
the value in the corresponding box.
Assuming that the step calibration of the position of Figure 3 is aligned, the
value -2 in the current step frame needs to be changed to 1; if the position of Figure
2 is aligned to the right, the value 2 in the current right box is changed to 4.
3) Click after the value is modified.
4) Click again to confirm the alignment of the calibration figure 0
position.
6. Bidirectional calibration
Bidirectional calibration is the coincident alignment of the screen in both the left and
right directions of the printer head when printing in both directions.
1) Tap and the device will print the calibration drawing.

2) Find out the alignment diagram line segment coincidence position, 0 position
coincidence means that no adjustment is required. If the segments are aligned
outside of 0, the numeric value corresponding to the coincident position is added to
the current bidirectional value. Assuming the alignment of the calibration figure-2
position, the current bidirectional value of 29 is modified to 27.
3) When you're done modifying the values, click to save.

- 14
 4)Click again to verify that the 0 position coincides.
7. Chromatic calibration

The chromatic calibration is the Left/Right set of the No. 1 color printer head itself and the
No. 2 white ink printer head itself to further improve the printing accuracy.
Heterochromatic calibration
1) Click , No. 1 color printer head to print the printer head chromatic
drawing.

2) Observe the coincidence of each group of CMY segments and K-segments of G1

2-6 to the left / 2-6 to the right, and the coincidence of the 0 position does not need to be
adjusted. If the position outside of 0 coincides, the value in the box is added to the value
corresponding to the coincidence position.
3) After the modification is completed, click .
4) Click again to confirm that the 0 positions of each group coincide.
 Color calibration
The same color calibration is the color calibration between the 6 columns of printer
heads in the No. 2 printer head itself, and the method is the same as the heterochromatic
calibration.
