PRINT HEAD SETUP – C6000V ONLY
The C6000v is designed only to print vertically down - for this to work there must
be a difference of 40mm ± 5mm between the bottom of the unit and the face of
the print head.
When first putting ink in the unit there are a few procedures that should be
followed to ensure that the printer works as expected and that it removes all the air
from the print head.
Setup Procedure
(1) Place a suitable ink bottle in the base and set the head to the correct height;
this is 40mm ± 5mm between the bottom of the unit and the face of the
print head. Let the unit top up with ink so that it displays ‘ink ok’.
(2) With the ink line disconnected, prime heavily until the unit displays ‘ink
low’. Turn the unit off then lift the head cover to close the AR/03 valve.
(3) Turn the unit back on. It will display ‘ink-low’. Place a container or cloth
under the print face to catch the ink. Then reconnect the ink line. This will
give a continuous ink flow from the print head. Once all the air stops
coming out of the print face, switch off the unit, lift the cover and open the
AR/03 valve.
