Power
CAUTION: Power should be disconnected from the print head prior to connecting or dis-
connecting any external devise, including: PC, handheld, controller or print head daisy
chain cables. Electrical arcing may occur if external cabling is connected or disconnected
while power is supplied to the unit.
Install the power plug from the previ-
ously mounted power supply into the
power jack on the rear of the TJ500.
Press and hold the "PURGE" button on
the rear of the TJ500 while slowly mov-
ing a piece of paper, cardboard, or com-
parable material in front of the TJ500
print cartridge. Print several purge
images and validate that all channels
are printing. If not, refer to “Section 4:
Maintenance & Shutdowns” on page 21.
At this point, the power supply for the
IJ3000-ES or the computer may be
installed.
Serial Port Setup
NOTE: Depending on GUI / IJ3000-ES status, this step may already be complete.
If a computer will be used, install the TJ500 / IJ3000-ES PC software using the CD
included with the print head. Follow the installation prompts, and then launch the program.
Ensure the home screen menu is present via the
Hide Menu

Show Menu
button, and
then press the
Control Panels
button.
NOTE: Do not rub the ink car-
tridge face with the print sample
material as this will scratch the
orifice array and affect print
quality.
