Setup for print down application
The bracketry that comes standard
with the print head does not accommo-
date a print down setup. A separate
bracket kit (5780-227) is available to
allow for a print down setup. This kit
includes tubing and fittings for extend-
ing the tubing between the regulator
and print head. If only the tubing and
fittings are needed then tubing kit
5780-211 can be used. This kit
includes enough tubing and fittings to
accommodate five half inch print heads
or two one inch print heads.
1. Mount the print head and regulator. The regulator must be positioned appropriately
in relation to the print head (see figure). If the regulator is positioned too high with
respect to the print head then ink may seep out of the print head. If this occurs sim-
ply lower the regulator until it is positioned properly.
2. It will be necessary to splice in a length of tubing between the regulator and print
head (see image below). This should be done before bleeding air out of the ink
lines.
