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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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

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-

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
