Applying Power
Plug the printer into an AC outlet. If an extension cord is required, ensure the cord is as short as
possible. To protect your printer against damaging voltage spikes, a surge suppressor is strongly
recommended. Operate the unit only on 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz. The power supply on the Direct Jet is
auto-switching. However, if you have any questions about whether or not you have the correct voltage
rating for the power supply DO NOT attempt to use the unit. Contact your dealer/representative or
Direct Color Systems directly. At this time, do not plug in the USB cable. You will be directed to plug in
the cable later in this manual.
Turning the Printer On For the First Time
Before turning on the printer for the first time, follow the instructions in the Quick Reference Guide for
removing shipping brackets and tape.
Turn on the Main Power switch first. Verify that the amber light on
on the Control Panel is lit.
Wait 5 seconds.
Press
on the Control Panel, the print engine will be lifted approximately 1" and
the media table will move all the way to the right. After a portion of the boot up process has been
completed, all lights on the ink cartridge panel will flash red, indicating that power is on, but there are
no ink cartridges.
Move the table all the way to the right before pressing
and the print station will move to an
accessible position for ink cartridge installation. Open the cover. Now you are ready to install the ink
cartridges. Follow the procedure outlined in the next section.
Note
When shutting the printer down, always be sure to power off the print engine by pressing
and
allowing the light to change from green to solid amber. Be sure that the media table is
ALL THE WAY
TO THE RIGHT
and the print head has stopped moving before turning off the main power switch.
Failure to do so may result in the printer not properly capping the print head and this could clog the
nozzles in the print head permanently.
