Setup for print down application
The bracketry that comes standard
with the print head does not accom-
modate a print down setup. A sepa-
rate bracket kit (5780-227) is
available to allow for a print down
setup. This kit includes tubing and
fittings for extending the tubing
between the regulator and print
head. If only the tubing and fittings
are needed then tubing kit 5780-211
can be used. This kit includes
enough tubing and fittings to accom-
modate five half inch print heads or
two one inch print heads.
1. Mount the print head and regulator. The regulator must be positioned appropriately
in relation to the print head (see figure). If the regulator is positioned too high with
respect to the print head then ink may seep out of the print head. If this occurs sim-
ply lower the regulator until it is positioned properly.
2. It will be necessary to splice in a length of tubing between the regulator and print
head (see image below). This should be done before bleeding air out of the ink
lines.
