switch box (which can often cause communication
problems). Including your printer, mouse and
Dongle, you will need 3 free USB ports.
Your computer must use a Windows based
Operating System if you will be printing with White ink. For best results you should
use a computer with at least 512 MB of RAM. RAM is inexpensive and, if you can
put 1 GB or more on your computer, it will prevent problems when printing large
fi les. (Users of the Windows Vista OS should have a minimum of 2 GB onboard
RAM.)
The Universal Serial Bus – USB – method of
communication is standard on all newer computers,
but what is not commonly known is that there is only a
certain amount of power supplied to the entire “bus.”
This means that if you have a number of items plugged
into different USB ports on your computer, it might cause
communication issues with the T-Jet3 PLUS.
Use a dedicated computer to control your printer and do not plug anything else
into the extra USB ports when printing.
Failure to adhere to the recommended environmental, power,
maintenance and operating conditions you can void the warranty
of your T-Jet3 PLUS. The printer does NOT like to be in a hot, dry
shop with excess dust, as well as being plugged into outlets with
a lot of other items. Please read and understand the operating
conditions and maintenance requirements for your money making
investment.
Installing the Bulk Ink System
Mounting the Adjustable Ink Shelf
The Adjustable Ink Shelf hangs off the right side (opposite the Control Panel) of
your T-Jet3 PLUS. The wing nut in the center of the shelf and two guides allow the
shelf to be raised and lowered to compensate for the effects of gravity on the
ink.
Turning the wing nut to the Left (Counter-Clockwise), loosens the ▪
Adjustable Shelf.
Turning the wing nut to the Right (Clockwise), secures the Adjustable Shelf ▪
in place.
