1 Unpacking and Installing the Flora 2512 UV Printer Steps 1: Unscrew the 10mm bolts holding the top. Then remove the top and put in a safe place. Step 2: Unscrew 10mm bolts holding the end panels. On the bottom of the end panels are 3-14mm bolts attached to L brackets and frame remove. (We used an automatic screw gun with adaptors for the mm sockets) Step 4 Unscrew the 14mm bolts holding the sides. There are two on each side. Then remove the sides and put in a safe place. Step 5 There is a steel reinforcement across the middle. Unscrew and remove, this will not be needed in the future. Step 6 Remove the outside plastic wrap, then remove the aluminum moisture barrier sheet, and last remove the remaining plastic wrap. Step 7 On top of the bed of the printer are accessories boxes and parts. Remove from the top of the bed and keep in a safe space.

it and then remove the bottom of the crate.

2 Step 8 There are 4 corner braces holding the printer to the skid, at each corner on the bottom of the printer. Remove in no particular order. Step 9 We think it is a good idea to remove all the excess aluminum sheeting (cut it off with a blade) and clear the area for better understanding of the footprint of the machine. Step 10 Take the machine off the crate, use fork lift in the center to lift it and then remove the bottom of the crate. Installing Flora 2512 UV Printer Step 1 Remove the Power cable from right front corner of the printer. Step 2 Install power plug for fit check and install air line to printer.

Then unscrew the black knob on top of the print head, it must be loosened and remove white foam from beneath the print head. Step 4 Relocate the print head stop from the present position to far end of the right hand side of the carriage beam. Step 5 At each corner of the printer there are leveling legs. Lower all 4 adjustable legs until the machine is perfectly level. Check with carpenter s level left to right and front to back. Step 6 Remove wrapping from stand for keyboard, monitor to attach to right front leg of the machine. Install horizontal arm to leg with 4 Allen head screws. Then install the silver vertical post with 4 phillips head screws.

5 Step 7 Slip keyboard platform over silver post and tighten with black T handle. Attach monitor stand and slip it over silver post. USB Cable for connecting computer printer is located inside the computer compartment and printers USB port is on the right hand side of the same compartment. Step 8 Next is to isolate the vacuum hold down motors (2). They are located under the table in the center at the rear. From the factory the motors are bolted solid to the frame. Remove solid bolts and replace with rubber stand offs. 4 rubber stand offs on each motor. This places the motors on rubber suspension and reduces noise & vibration. This is hard work in very close quarters. Take your time and be careful. Step 9 At this moment you are ready to plug in the printer to the power outlet and turn on the system power and main power by flipping on switches on the right side of the printer, and press the Power button located underneath the printer control panel. Test the cariage movement by manually moving it using printer controll buttons.

Load the syringe with the flush solution. First flush the tubing, connect syringe to the print head inlet tube disc filter, uncap the outlet tube and push some solution through the tube. Cap the outlet tube, and gently push some solution through the head till you see clean flash solution coming out of the print head nozzles. Step 8 Connecting ink tubing to the print head. Make sure machine is powered on so that negative pressure will keep ink from leaking. Remove black cap from the disk filter. Very important to do next step very fast: remove ink tube cap and connect ink tube to the disc filter by pushing tube on to the connector and twisting it to the right for approximately half circle. Taking too long to connect could result in ink backing up into negative pressure tank. Step 9 To remove on any air or flash solution out of the tubing and print head you will need to bleed the tubing and the print heads. Turn the negative pressure valve to positive setting (right). Uncap the outlet ink tube, lower it down below the head level and press Ink Prime button to flush the head of any air or flush solution. Turn the valve back to negative pressure setting (left)
