for plate media, please place the plate media on flat surface and avoid any
deformation of the plate.
LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 24 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb
Do not preserve the media in the environment with great temperature and humidity
changes, instead, the media shall be preserved in clean and tidy environment with
proper temperature and humidity.

Do not use the printing media with scratch, wrinkle, curl and surface bulge. If you
use this kind of printing media, paper feeding (printing media) on both sides of the
roller will be affected, which may even result in equipment failure or damage in
severe case.

Ensure the clean and tidy printing surface of the media during printing, free from
any dust and clutter, otherwise, equipment failure or damage may occur.

Ink and cleaning fluid

The print head of inkjet printer belongs to high precision equipment. therefore, the ink
quality will greatly affect the printing quality and the service life of print head. Please
use the ink and cleaning fluid recommended by the manufacturer and pay attention
to the following items at the same time:

Failure to use the ink as recommended may cause lowered printing quality or
equipment damage.

The guarantee period of ink is six months in general (calculated from the production
date), so please use the ink within guarantee period.

Make sure that there is plenty of ink in main ink bottle during the working period of
the machine.

Ink should be kept in a shady and cool place.

Since ink and cleaning fluid are strong acid or alkaline liquid, please store them
properly and try to avoid skin contact, let alone swallow, and keep it away from
eyes.

Maintenance tools

Please use the cleaning fluid recommended by the manufacturer to clean the print
head, moreover, use the specialized wiping paper recommended by the manufacturer
to wipe the print head, otherwise, it may lead to the permanent damage to the print

Inject ink into the auxiliary ink tank

Please make sure that there is enough ink in the main ink bottle before injecting ink into
the auxiliary ink tank and the steps are as follows:

Ensure that there is enough ink in the main ink bottle and conduct inspection of the
machine before starting.

When you switch on inkjet printer for the first time, since the auxiliary ink tank is
empty, ink pumps of all colors will start working automatically and pump ink from
main ink box into auxiliary ink tank.

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 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:

ink for the first time because protective liquid has been injected into the nozzle of
print head. You must wash off the protective liquid before injecting ink.
LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 44 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb
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 purging 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. Five
minutes later, clean all the print heads again as per the above method. Thus
print head cleaning is completed.

Print head cleaning operation involves cleaning fluid pump directly pumping
cleaning fluid to clean the print head, without any positive pressure, so
pneumatic three-way valve body operation is not required.

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. First of all, put the corresponding three-way-valve in working state and at


the same time place pneumatic three-way valve body in positive pressure
state.

3. Unscrew the corresponding two-way valve core to ensure 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. Observe
the ink flow state at the ink outlet. If the ink flows down vertically without
any bubbles around, you can tighten two-way valve so that ink will flow out
from the nozzle. (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 tank and then continue positive
pressure).

4. Carry out the above operation for every print head in succession. Place all
three-way valves in working state after completing venting for all print
heads. Press positive pressure button and impress ink for all print heads
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

LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 45 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb
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:

Move the carriage to idle position, the far left of the machine.

Make sure that the corresponding ink route three-way valve body for the print head
demanding ink impression is in working state. In case there are other print heads
for the same color, switch the corresponding ink route three-way valve body of other
print heads off.

Turn the pneumatic three-way valve body to positive pressure state.

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.

Negative pressure system introduction

As described above, FH series products have the standard configuration of negative


pressure design for color print heads. If you also equip the product with ink degasser,
another line of negative pressure system will be added to provide high negative
pressure for ink degasser. Vacuum pressure switch is used to adjust all the negative
pressure of print heads and located on the left front console panel (see introduction
of “Left Front Console Panel”). Degasser is connected with vacuum negative
pressure components by means of high negative pressure switch. You may see it by
opening the left side door behind the machine. (See Article 12 of front view for details)

Media positioning

The equipment provides origin orientation function and automatic detection function. You
may set these functions in the dialog box “system setting-origin setting”. You can also open
the dialog box “origin setting” by clicking the icon in LiyuPrint main interface.

Origin orientation

Origin orientation function can locate the printing media position according to the
coordinate of X axis, thus realizing accurate positioning printing. The coordinate origin
is the original 0 point, that is to say, the carriage stops at the right-most position

of X axis. however, we usually don’t start printing from the original 0 point. Therefore,
this value can’t achieve precise and intuitive positioning. instead, certain test and
calculation shall be needed for the accurate positioning. You may realize the function by
setting the parameters in the following red frame:

Meanwhile, you can obtain the current coordinate of the carriage by getting the position
on certain axis on the interface after moving the carriage to the corresponding position,
and the coordinate acquired from operation is also relative to
the original 0 point position.

Automatic detection

Select media origin in dialog box “origin setting” as the origin orientation type and
then select the quantity of materials to be detected, up to 6 portions of media
allowed, click “detection” button and the machine starts detecting. After completing
detection, the position and breadth of media will be displayed in the corresponding
place according to the material quantity that you select.

The position and breadth are not necessarily accurate due to the sensor and other
reasons. In case of large deviations during printing, you can adjust to the relatively
accurate value through the dialog box “correction”.

Positioning operation after successful detection: there are two methods for
positioning after detection:

1. Switch positioning method to carriage origin and fill in the corresponding origin
location through the position and breadth of materials obtained.

2. Select the image position and print directly in the current interface. Here are three
typesetting modes provided, namely boundary printing, central printing and user-

Ink use guidelines

LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 60 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb

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 scatching 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, which 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 tank.

6. For positive pressure printing, after wiping the printhead, 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 orifice must be maintained clean,. No residual ink,dust or fiber
is allowed. Orifice shall not be scratched.

8. Since the ink and the cleaning fluid contain strong solvent, they mustn’t contact
electrical components and wires. Were ink or cleaning fluid spilled on them
accidently, 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

LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 61 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb
the status of print head. If it is not in a good condition, do the ink press operation
first.

If the downtime is over 12 hours to a whole 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 three 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 printhead,
scrub the nozzle panel. Wipe away residual ink and cleaning liquid on the nozzle
panel, to prevent it droping 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 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 printhead condition in printing

To guarantee print quality, please make sure every nozzle on the printhead 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 150C and
260C.Print quality may be affected if the temperature is below 150C or above 280C.

LIYU DMS GmbH

www.liyu-dms.com 62 info@liyu-dms.com
Maschinenvertrieb
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. Very Important: Prevent ink or any part of ink route from contacting water or any
solution containing water molecules, otherwise, gel may be produced, blocking
ink route or even 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, free from exposure to strong light, with the proper storage temperature of

10℃ to 40℃. Though ink has the storage duration of 12 months, it is recommended to

use it up within 3 months. Pay attention to the production date when using ink. The

expired ink shall never be used. Because temperature has a great effect on viscosity of

ink, during change of seasons the different viscosity of ink may affect printing effect,

especially between winter and summer. In addition, ink manufacturers may adjust the

viscosity of ink according to change of seasons, hence you should select ink as per

actual ambient temperature.

Feeding
1. Make sure that the lifting rod is at the lowest point before feeding, if not, rotate the
button to the left and make the lifting rod descend to the lowest point.
2. There are two working modes for the developing machine, namely independent work
of developing machine and linkage work of developing machine and direct injection
machine. Hence there are two feeding methods for developing machine. Feeding
diagram is shown as follows.
Independent work: before power-on, properly place the developing machine by
fixing four supporting feet at the bottom of the machine. Materials shall be placed
at the middle position between the two rubber rollers. Ensure the materials are tidy
and flat during feeding.

Linkage with developing machine: properly place the developing machine before
power-on so that the central line of developing machine is aligned to that

of direct injection machine, two machines in relatively parallel with the spacing of
90CM. Please ensure the materials are tidy and flat during feeding.

I. Detailed Setting of Vacuum pressure gauge


Panasonic DP-101 digital Negative pressure switch is specially designed to
inspect and 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.

( 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.

( B) Working mode
The negative pressure gauge always display “RUN Mode” , while “Menu Setting Mode”
is used for basic setting, , and “PRO Mode” is used for advanced functionalities, . 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”.

( C) Output mode and seting


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

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.

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. Adjustment of vacuum negative pressure value


Vacuum negative pressure is adjusted through vacuum pressure gauge. The negative
pressure value has been set while leaving the factory and users can make minor
adjustment of negative pressure value. Notes: When you set the negative pressure
gauge or change the setting value of negative pressure, be sure to unplug the
windpipe of the negative pressure gauge or make other air passage of negative

pressure system lead to the air outside, so as to prevent reverse suction of
auxiliary ink tank resulting from overpressure due to output of negative pressure
gauge.

The specific adjustment method is as follows:

1. Calculation of setting value for negative pressure gauge

A) Differential mode: threes values to be set for negative pressure gauge: Lo_1,
Hi_1 and P_2 with the unit Kpa, among which p_2=Lo_1=Hi_1-0.2.

For example, suppose Hi_1 = -50, -50-0.2=-50.2. then the setting value for p_2 and Lo_1
shall be -50.2. the final negative pressure value is between Lo_1 and Hi_1.

B) EASY mode: two values to be set for negative pressure gauge: P_1 and P_2
with the unit Kpa, among which p_2=P_1-0.2.

For example, suppose P_1 = -1.6, -1.6-0.2=-1.8. then the setting value for p_2 shall be -
1.8. the final negative pressure value is between P_1 and p_2.

2. Alteration method of setting value for negative pressure gauge

A) Differential mode: Press “MODE” button to enter setting state and the secondary
display shows Lo_1 once and then the value of Lo_1. Adjust the value by pressing ▲
or▼ button.

Continue to press “MODE” to enter setting state of Hi_1 and the secondary display
shows Hi_1 once and then the value of Hi_1. Adjust the setting value of Hi_1 by
pressing ▲ or▼ button.

Continue to press “MODE” to enter setting state of P_2 and the secondary display
shows P_2 once and then the value of P_2. Adjust the setting value of P_2 by
pressing ▲ or▼ button.

B) EASY mode: Press “MODE” button to enter setting state and the secondary display
shows P_1 once and then the value of P_1. Adjust the value by pressing ▲ or▼ button.

Continue to press “MODE” to enter setting state of P_2 and the secondary display
shows P_2 once and then the value of P_2. Adjust the setting value of P_2 by
pressing ▲ or▼ button.

Note: when adjusting the setting value of pressure gauge, the interval for every setting
value shall not exceed 0.2.

Take the adjustment in A for example to show the setting process as follows:
