Power
CAUTION: Power should be disconnected from the print head prior to connecting or dis-
connecting any external device, including: PC, controller, or print head daisy chain cables.

supplied to the unit.
Install the power plug from the previously mounted
power supply into the power jack on the rear of
each print head.
Press and hold the "PURGE" button on the rear of
the print head while slowly moving a piece of
paper, cardboard, or comparable material in front
of the Print cartridge. Print several purge images
and validate that all channels are printing. If not,
refer to “Section 4: Maintenance & Shutdowns” on
The power supply for the controller or the com-
puter may now be installed.

NOTE: Depending on GUI / Controller status, this step may already be complete.
If a computer will be used, install the PC software
included with the print head. Follow the installation
prompts, and at this prompt, select "Interface 1
Serial Print Head".

the program.

the print sample material as this will scratch
the orifice array and affect print quality.
