Installing the Printer
Choose a location
The iCUBE should be placed on a properly levelled worktable or cabinet which is able to
handle the printer’s weight and minimum 61 cm (24 inch) wide.
Unpacking and Setup
The printer is shipped in a strong cardboard or wooden box. Before opening the box, check that
the box is not damaged in any way and was not turned upside down during shipment. If signs of
damage are found, contact your reseller and inspect the box together.
If the box is undamaged, carefully cut the tape on the box, open the box. Before taking the printer
out of the box, make sure a strong and level work surface is prepared for the printer.
NOTE: The printer is heavy. Never attempt to lift and take it out of the box on your own as it can
cause lasting injuries. The printer should always be lifted by two persons.
Place the printer on the desk and inspect that no damages are found on the unit.
Checking the contents
Check the parts list to ensure you have received all required components. If the shipment is
complete, proceed to the next chapter.

Printer Buttons
Power button /green LED/
When switching on the mains switch the booting starts and the green LED illuminate. The power
button is for shutting down the print engine. After the shut-down-process the LED goes out and
you can the printer switch off with the mains switch.
The green LED always should light when the machine is ON.
Cancel button /red LED/
This button can cancel the job while the printing. The LED is only working if the button is pressed
or some errors have occurred.
Feed button /yellow LED/
Before printing you should feed the media into the machine. Advice: place the media to the left
side of the machine because the print engine has the gap and blackmark sensors also there. The
LED is only flashing if the button is pressed or some errors have occurred.
LED table:
Green LED: power status
LED ON: Engine ON
LED OFF: Engine OFF
Red LED: cancel job / clear error
LED OFF: normal operation -> button press will cancel current job
LED ON: error detected -> button press will start the clear error procedure, further error info
can be denoted by the yellow LED’s state described below
LED flashing: doing work (cancelling or clearing error)
Seite 5 von 20
Yellow LED: feed / unfeed
Button press will initiate feed or unfeed process depending on the current paper state of the
printer.
LED flashing: doing work (feeding or unfeeding)
LED ON + red LED ON: engine in paperpath related error state, denotes paperjam in 95% of
the time
LED flashing + red LED ON: engine in paperpath_end_of_roll error state, so there is no paper
in the printer or it is unable to detect it
Setting up the Printer
After the printer has passed inspection, install the printhead, and the ink cartridges, as
explained in the following sections.
To set up the printer you need to do the following:
1. Install the ink cartridges
2. Install the printhead
3. Turn on the Printer
4. Load label media
5. Install the printer driver
Installing Ink Cartridges
The iCUBE-Series-Printers use a single Printhead Cartridge and five ink tanks (two black,
one cyan, magenta and yellow). During installing the ink cartridges the Printer should be
turned off.
•Remove the ink tanks from the shipping box.
•Open the ink tank latches in the front of the printer by pushing the bottom of the
latch upward. The latch has a marker for signalling the place of the C, M, Y and K
tanks. (The reason why K is used for black: in RBG color mode B is reserved for blue)
•Locate the place where each tank should go than slowly but firmly push the tank into
the tank socket. The pressure in the ink tanks and the septums may prevent the
cartridge to fully engage for the first insertion.

•Cyan (C), inserted in the top left slot.
•Black (K) –two cartridges –inserted in the bottom left and bottom right slots.
•Yellow (Y), inserted in the top middle slot.
•Magenta (M), inserted in the top right slot.
WARNING: The ink in the Ink Tanks may be harmful if swallowed. Keep new and used
tanks out of reach from children. Discard empty tanks immediately.
To make sure you have a good contact, remove the ink tank and reinsert twice.

Installing the Printhead
The printhead is the core of the print engine. As sensitive electromechanical equipment
it requires careful and special handling to avoid damage and ensure quality printing.
NOTE: The printhead is sensitive to electro-static discharge (ESD). Use ESD protection
when handling the printhead.
Priming the Printhead
Before the printhead can be used, it must be primed. Priming helps purge both the liquid
and air in the ink lines to allow reliable printing. Priming can also help to remove air
bubbles from a previously primed printhead. The priming process is designed to use less
than 5 ml of ink.
To prime the printhead manually,
1. Fill the main channels of the printhead.
2. Generate a pressure pulse to push out any bubbles.
3. Clean and dispose of the ink pushed out onto the nozzle plate.
4. Print out color mixed ink.
5. Cap the printhead to prevent dehydration.
CAUTION
DO NOT touch the printhead cartridge ink couplings, nozzle surface or the electrical
contacts when installing the printhead cartridge. Hold the printhead cartridge ONLY by
the handles.
DO NOT unpack the printhead cartridge until the printer is ready for installation. Once
unwrapped, delay in installing the printhead can compromise print quality due to
dehydration.
DO NOT place an unwrapped printhead on any surface before installing. Protect the
printhead from at all times from dust, fibers, dirt and other contaminants.

Installing the printhead
1. Ensure your printer is switched on and the power button is lit and steady.
2. Open the cover of your printer to reveal the printhead latch with a screw driver (ONLY at
first use!)
3. If the printhead latch is not raised, press the Printhead Eject button for three seconds.
This will automatically initiate printhead latch opening. This process may take several
seconds.
4. Remove the fluidic cap protectors from the two fluidic couplings.
5. Open the end of the printhead package outer box and slide out the foil bag.
Inspect the integrity of the foil vacuum sealing. The foil bag should be formed tightly to
the contours of the printhead cartridge as shown above. If the foil is loose to any degree
then the seal has been compromised.
If a poor seal is suspected, DO NOT USE the printhead cartridge. Report the issue to your
supplier.
6. Carefully rip the foil packaging open at the notch. Use scissors if your foil bag does not
have a notch or you are finding it difficult to tear the bag.

7. Remove the printhead cartridge from the foil bag.
8. Remove the orange protective plastic cover from the printhead cartridge. Holding the
printhead cartridge by the handle
a. Release the flaps covering the ink ports (1 and 2).
b. Release the clip retaining the cover near the center of the printhead cartridge
(3).
c. Carefully remove the protective cover (4).
9. Remove the protective strip from the electrical contacts. While holding the printhead
cartridge by the handle with one hand, grasp the pull tab with the other hand and, slowly
and carefully, peel back the plastic strip covering the electrical contacts.
Dispose of the removed strip immediately and do not allow the removed strip to
contact the electrical contacts.
10. Remove the protective strip from the printhead nozzles. While holding the printhead
cartridge by the handle with one hand, grasp the pull tab with the other hand and slowly
and carefully peel back the plastic strip covering the printhead nozzles.
Maintain an angle of no less than 45° with the printhead surface when pulling on the
strip.

Dispose of the removed strip immediately and do not allow the removed strip to contact
the electrical contacts or the printhead nozzles.
11. Raise the printhead latch fully until it is upright so you can insert the printhead into the
printer at an angle.
12. When the printhead cartridge is fully inserted into the printer rotate it to a vertical
position as shown.
13. Slowly close the printhead latch. The fluidic couplings should advance and seal to the
printhead cartridge.
