machine to weight the amount of spray, with a scale, after applying the Pre-Treatment liquid on a T-shirt!

> For example, on a Schulze PTM, you should enter a lenght of 36 cm and the full width of 4 nozzles will be

40 cm! And then, calibrate the PT machine to spray 30 g on the garment!

> This mixing ratio might vary due to the type of garment which is used. Use your experience!

DAILY AGITATION OF WHITE INK

POUCH REPLACEMENT - VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS!

Open the cartridge's lid on a ﬂat surface and remove the empty pouch.

Unpack carefully a new ink pouch from its shipping carton.

Push the green tip end of the ink pouch into the cartridge until it clicks into place.

Straighten the ink pouch to align it with the gutter of the lid of cartridge, and

mount in position inside the metal spring by pulling it with your hand.

If the edge of the ink pouch is bent or undulating signiﬁcantly, make it straight and

ﬂat with your hand to avoid wrinkles.

Place the pouch in a straight alignment with the cartridge. Align lines with each other!

Close the lid, verify if the spring is rolling to the front. Place the cartridge at around

45° and push on the 2 upper metallic latches to add a bit more tension on the ink

pouch. Double-check that you have not generated some wrinkles again !

Clean the outside of the green tip end that goes in contact with needle inside printer.

Attach a shelf life sticker included with ink pouch onto the front of the cartridge.

Perform the procedure shown below if the message "Remove the white ink

cartridge and shake it" is displayed before starting printing operation.

Take out the white ink cartridge from

the printer.

Shake the cartridge horizontaly 100

times side by side to stir the white ink.

At a ink level of approximately 15 cm,

shake the cartridge with cover open and

with the ink pouch slightly unwinded, to

make the ink easier to stir.

OKOK

MENUMENU

> Repeat the same process on the other white ink cartridge! On the operation panel, press and the White

Ink reﬁlling will be performed automatically by the printer!

> If you are not trying to avoid wrinkles like explained above, you could get the errors 2084 & 2085

displaying: "Winding-up Failure"

BEST PRACTICE FOR PRINTING > A MUST!

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE PLATEN

NEW "PLATEN TOO LOW" SENSORS

To adjust the platen height, loosen the Platen Fixing

Lever and move the Platen Height Adjustment Lever

. to a lower position.

Re-tighten the Platen Fixing Lever if you are happy with

new distance. Flaten down all the wrinkles of the fabric.

To check if new textile is not detected by the sensor,

push the button and repeat the process if needed!

If you need to go down further more, remove 1 or 2 col-

lars, loosen the knob and push down the platen bearing

by 1 or 2 steps.

Reattach everything and tighten again the Platen Fixing Lever

>ALWAYS KEEP THE CLOSEST DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PRINTHEADS AND THE SURFACE OF THE GARMENT!

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG LIFE OF YOUR PRINTER!

To provide an optimum printing image quality when a thicker textile is used, you

need to adjust the platen's height related to the thickness of the textile.

> Don't forget to bring back the platen to the Aposition after printing on thicker material!

> If you have to print above hem and seams, go for UNI-directional printing to keep quality!

> Always leave the knob tighten after changing position!

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Suction Cap & Exhaust Cleaning

TO BE DONE EVERY WEEK

To achieve a good weekly maintenance you will have to do the following actions:

The black silicon lips of the two cappings should be cleaned with the NEW Cleaning

Stick Tdipped in Cleaning Solution.

It is necessary to remove the build-up of the remaining ink staying on the edges of

the cappings. It will prevent air leakage and keep the good suction of the pumps!

Be careful not to touch the foam! Keep it ﬂat!
