If you don t have printing job someday, please just make a nozzle check pattern and print some pictures.. If the machine will not be used for over 7 days, the print heads are suggested to disassemble and make a cleaning, and then keep well Before printing, please adjust the print gap between print head and print object to be 2-3mm, and then start printing. Be cautious, if the print head is lower than print object surface, the print head will get scratched or clashed. Reflective materials, like stainless steel, mirror, etc are not allowed to print, Because their reflective surface will reflect UV light onto print head nozzles and get nozzles clogged by UV ink.

When carriage assembly is back to home position, the carriage assembly is just above of capping pump station with cap top sealed with print head nozzles surface. The movement accuracy of carriage assembly is controlled by encoder strip and raster encoder. Carriage assembly Figure Carriage Assembly Page 5

8 Figure When carriage assembly returns to home position, the cap top will seal with print head nozzles surface Figure Print head NUOCAI UV printer NC-UV0406 is assembled with Epson DX5 print head. In order to ensure the ink injection be smooth and printing be fluent continually, the print head nozzles need to be kept moist always and not clogged. Besides, don t let the print head port gets in any water or other liquid, otherwise the print head will get burned down. When placing the print head, always keep the nozzle side downward. When make the print head cleaning manually with syringe, please don t make with too much strength in case to cause damage to print head. Don t scratch the nozzle surface with hard thing. When cleaning the nozzle surface, cotton bud or soft clean cloth is suggested to use. Keep the print head cable port dry always. Don t drop the print head from high. Don t disassemble the print head without any instructions. Page 8

9 Print head inlets Figure Print Head There are 8 inlets of print head, which are the entrances of ink, with some tiny holes on the top. Please keep the tiny holes unblocked. The print head inlets are vulnerable, please don t push hard or knock them from horizontally. The tiny holes of Print head inlets Figure During printing, the normal distance between print head and print object is 2-3mm. Please don t make it too closer in case of head scratched with print object. But if the distance is kept too big, the print quality will be affected. Figure Page 9

1.2.2.2 The easiest way to check the print head condition is to make a nozzle check on machine.

10 The easiest way to check the print head condition is to make a nozzle check on machine. Color ink can be printed on white blank paper, but white ink needs black paper to print on, then you can check the nozzle check patterns.

12 1.2.4 Encoder strip When machine is under printing, the carriage assembly moves leftwards and rightwards along a transparent strip, which is called encoder strip. The encoder strip controls the movement of carriage assembly where to move to and where to stop. There is small calibration on the encoder strip, which will be read by the raster encoder (behind the carriage assembly). If the encoder strip is stained or scratched, it will affect the reading by raster encoder, so that the carriage movement accuracy will be also affected. 图 Encoder strip Figure Figure Don t fold,scratch or stain the encoder strip, and keep it clean and dry Figure Page 12

1.2.5 Capping pump station Capping pump station is the cleaning unit to make ink supply system runs normally and keep print head nozzles moist all the time.

When to make head cleaning, besides ink automatic suction, the wiper blade will move accordingly to scrape the print head to ensure no remains to block the nozzles.

13 1.2.5 Capping pump station Capping pump station is the cleaning unit to make ink supply system runs normally and keep print head nozzles moist all the time. Before every print job, the capping pump station will make a small ink suction automatically. When to make head cleaning, besides ink automatic suction, the wiper blade will move accordingly to scrape the print head to ensure no remains to block the nozzles. If wiper blade gets too much stained, please use some cleaner liquid to clean it.

43 PART THREE MAINTENANCE 广州诺彩数码产品有限公司 3.1 Cap top daily maintenance Inject some professional cleaner liquid into to cap top to keep print head nozzles moist after daily print jobs After you finish the print work, and before turn off the machine, please perform this process. Move aside the carriage by control panel. Then use a syringe to suck some professional cleaner liquid and inject them into the cap top. Please perform properly and don t let the injected liquid overflows from cap top. Inject the clean liquid into cap top with syringe Figure Notice: Before printing on the next day, please make an automatic head cleaning first, and then start to print 3.2 How to keep print head after disassembly If the print head is disassembled, as below are the ways to keep the print head After disassembly and cleaning the print head, put it on some plastic wrapper, and cover the print head inlets and nozzles with clean fabric, which could be dipped with some cleaner liquid. (Notice: Don t get the fabric dipped with too much cleaner liquid, in case that overabundant liquid flows into the cable ports of print head) Figure Page 43

3.2 After the print head inlets and nozzles are covered with clean fabric, wrap the

44 Figure After the print head inlets and nozzles are covered with clean fabric, wrap the print head in plastic wrapper. Then place the print head to somewhere dry and out of sunshine (Notice: The whole surface of print head nozzles needs coverage with fabric) Figure Shake white ink cartridges at intervals to prevent white ink particles from sedimentation As the fluidity of UV white ink is not as good as UV color ink, if placed still too long, the UV white ink particles will sink down to bottom, which will affect the continuous injection output and print whiteness of white ink. So we suggest every 3-7 days, take out of white ink cartridges and make a shaking for about 2 minutes. Take out white ink cartridges carefully Press the air hole of cartridge with finger, then shake cartridge horizontally Page 44

45 When shaking, press this air hole of cartridge in case ink leaks out Shake the white ink cartridges horizontally for about 2 minutes Page 45
