Switch on the Printer
After the print head and the ink tanks are installed, switch on the printer by switching on
the main switch on the back of the printer. This will power up the print engine and the
controllers.
After few seconds, you will hear the ink pump starting to prime the system, then the
wiper will wipe the print head and starts its first maintenance. During this process Liberty
software is starting to build up the connection to the print engine. This can take up to
10-15 minutes but it is normal so please wait until the GUI for the system indicates that
it is in the ready state.
While the print engine is starting up, the Vortex850R control panel also starts and displays
the following window. All menu buttons are disabled in the main screen. They become
functional once the engine is up and functional. This is also displayed by status and
operation mode messages on the screen.
