PART 6 CLEANING PRINTINGHEAD AND PRINTING POSITION
6.1 Clean the (nozzles)
A. Before printing, please clean the nozzles with cleaning solvent. Spray the cleaning
sovent to the nozzles 3-5 times until the dried ink on the nozzles is completely cleaned
out. Please pay attention do not touch or clear the nozzles with any materials except
cleaning solvent., no matter how soft the material is, or it will cause permanent
damaging of printinghead.
B. Squeeze the ink cartridge
Squeeze the ink cartridge from the circle hole at the bottom of machine with your
finger gently. You will see the ink flowing out from the printinghead, and meanwhile
you will find there are small air bubble in the flowed ink. Keep squeeze until you
cannot see the air bubble in the ink. Then wipe the ink around the printinghead with
paper tissue . Please never wipe thenozzles. Attention: The maximum force the
printinghead can withstand is 1bar (1 kg/cm²). Therefore please ensure the the
maximum pressing force on the ink cartridge is 0.5KG. Never squeeze the ink
cartridge directly without spraying cleaning solvent.
When squeeze the ink cartridge, the ink will flow out from the filter to ink tube to the
nozzles. So the ink will pull out the air or cleaning solvent out completely, and make
sure printer can print normally.
C. Check whether all the nozzles are working properly: Please edit a character with
18mm height, and place a piece of blank paper in front of the printinghead. The
distance of paper and spray head should be within 5MM. Move the paper slowly from
left to right.
D. Start printing and view the printed result. The printed out character should be high
resolution without any disconnection. If the character has disconnection line, please
repeat step A.B until all nozzles are not blocked and print
E. Start to edit the message and print
6.2 Printing Position

inside a frame or a blank. Therefore, it’s necessary to position the printer on a
appropriate location. And you also need to set the conveyor belt and the printing
parameters according to the direction of products.
b. The message should be printed on the right position for easy reading. For the vertical
position, please adjust through the relative up/down key. For the horizontal postion, you
can use the “Delay Printing “ function.

PART 7 CHOOSE THE RIGHT INK
The printinghead for 128K is a very sophicated high-technology product. And the designated
ink is environmentally friendly. The ink is highly filtered and very delicated. The usage of
wrong ink or cleaning liquid will damage or corrode the nozzles of printinghead. Therefore,
you can only use the designated 128K ink cartridge. Never mix and use different types of ink.
Any damage caused by the improper usage of ink or cleaning liquid will be out of the warranty.
You can use the solvent-based ink to print on the non-porous and porous material surface,
such as plastic, glass, metal, carton etc. Once your printer use solvent-based ink, then pls do
not use oil-based ink for the same printer, Because these 2 types of inks are incompatible and
will result in chemical reaction, and damaging the printer, meanwhile will be out of warranty.
When using your printer 128K, please pay special attention on the following points.
a. The solvent-based ink are fast-day ink, while the oil-based ink takes longer time to dry. That
means you need to print continuously when using the solvent-based ink to avoid the ink at
outside of nozzles drying. If the ink at outside of nozzles drying, you need to clean the
printinghead and squeeze the ink cartridge. However, since 128K has the function of
automatically ink ejecting, So, when you need to stop printing temporarily, you can activate
the ink-ejecting by pressing during printing to avoid the ink at the printinghead dried.

If you wish to continue to print, please press again.
b. After the power is turned off, the ink around the nozzles will dry very soon. If you want to
re-start the machine, you must clean the printinghead with cleaning solvent and squeeze
the ink cartridge
C. The ink drying time depends on the environment and the ink drops needed for the printing.
For example, the higher temperature, the ink dries sooner. And the bolder character, the
longer it will take to dry. You can choose to print light color characters to shorten the drying
time.
