On the front of the Controller, there are Data Connections for two Printheads. They are
labeled “PRINTHEAD 1” and PRINTHEAD 2”.
Connect a Data Cable to “PRINTHEAD 1”. Connect the other end of the Data Cable to the
Printhead that will be designated “Printhead 1.”
NOTE:
A single printer setup MUST always connect to the PRINTHEAD 1 Port, as the
system will not work if nothing is plugged into the PRINTHEAD 1 Port.
The Data Cable also carries power from the Controller to the Printhead. There is no Power
Switch on the Printhead. The Printhead will power up when the Controller is turned on.
