Toucan LT board printer

Setup and Operating instructions

Unpack the Toucan LT board printer as you would any Toucan LT. Follow all cautions
associated with installing a standard Toucan LT.

Change in ‘wash’ instructions:

Proceed with a single ‘wash’ with Head conditioner because the printer has been ‘inked’ up
and tested during the manufacture of the ‘board’ printer.
Remember to verify ‘flow’ of liquids through the printer during the ‘wash’ and ‘ink fill’.

Complete the installation of the Toucan LT:

Align the printheads and print the copies of the Adjustment Parameter sheet and Test
prints. One set are to be stored in the left end of the printer and one set to return to Mutoh
America Inc. Follow the published Toucan LT installation document.

Assembly and Setup of the Board printer:

During the ‘ink fill’ unpack the ‘tables’ from their shipping box.

Notice that on the front and rear of the Toucan LT Board printer there are two large
brackets on which there is a large stainless ‘mounting’ pin on each one. This pin will
screw up and down as required in a later step.

Mounting ‘Pin’ on front and back of printer. Mounting ‘Pin bracket’ on the sides of tables.

The mounting ‘pins’ are the main support on the right and left sides of each table where
there is a corresponding ‘mounting pin support bracket’ on each side of the table.

Notice that the bracket in front of the ‘ink pump’ station must be removed to verify
‘ink flow’ during the wash and ink fill processes. A 3mm Allen wrench is required to
remove the bracket.

Identifying the tables and spacer fins:

Tables:
The ‘rear’ table (at right) is identified by the
absence of screws along the ‘inside’ edge of
the table. The ‘outside’ edge is a ‘finished’
edge while the ‘inside’ edge (the edge
closest to the printer) is smooth aluminum.

The ‘front’ table (at left) is identified by a row
of screws, each with a rubber spacer, along the
smooth aluminum edge.

Tip: The front ‘finished’ edges can be protected during everyday setup and

teardown by saving two of the long protective foam packing bats that came in the original
packaging to protect the table edges during shipping. When the table is to be stored the
bats can be pressed in place along the front edge. When the tables are in use these bats can
be placed underneath the printer table across the table leg braces.

Spacer fins:

There are 3 wider fins for the space over the dryer and 2 thin fins to bolt on the rear table.

Assembly of the tables:

Rear table assembly:

The two stainless fins must be attached to the ‘inside’ edge before being mounted to the
printer. This attachment is done with machine screws and nuts that have a knurled edge.
The knurled edge will pull tight into the holes and ‘seat’, becoming captive.

Note: Remove the protective film BEFORE assembling the fins to the table.
Align the two fins, side by side, so that they are flush with the top of the table. Insert the
screws, start each screw first and then tighten them all.

Note: In order to draw the knurl into the hole it may be necessary to hold the ‘nut’
while tightening until it gets started, then tighten a little more to ‘seat’ it.
