Toucan LT board printer 

Setup and Operating instructions  

 
 

 

 
 
 
Unpack the Toucan LT board printer as you would any Toucan LT.  Follow all cautions 
associated with installing a standard Toucan LT. 
 

Change in ‘wash’ instructions: 

Proceed with a single ‘wash’ with Head conditioner because the printer has been ‘inked’ up 
and tested during the manufacture of the ‘board’ printer. 
Remember to verify ‘flow’ of liquids through the printer during the ‘wash’ and ‘ink fill’. 

Complete the installation of the Toucan LT: 

Align the printheads and print the copies of the Adjustment Parameter sheet and Test 
prints.  One set are to be stored in the left end of the printer and one set to return to Mutoh 
America Inc.  Follow the published Toucan LT installation document.
