Preface
Welcome to the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED is a hybrid printer, featuring media tables as well as the capability to install
our new master roll-to-roll system or our new full-automation loader/unloader system. It
accommodates rigid media as diverse as cardboards, foam board, composite aluminum, PMMA,
etc… as well as rolled exible substrates such as backlit lm, paper, PVC banners, and self-adhesive
vinyl.
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED produces high-quality results on these materials, whether for indoor or
outdoor applications. It prints to widths as great as 3.34 meters and can accommodate rigid media up
to 4.0 meters in length.
Driven by Asanti workow technology and optimized to work with Agfa’s high-pigmented UV-inks,
every aspect of the Jeti Tauro is perfectly suited to the quality and productivity demands of high-end
sign and display printers.
The key mechanical features that enable this versatility are:
• A media transport belt that can handle wide media with high precision.
• A hybrid design suitable for at and roll media.
• The user can control the ink curing process to optimize color and nish.
• The user can adjust print head height up to a maximum media thickness of 50 mm.
• Predened color congurations that meet the ISO 12647-2 standard.

Health & Safety
This section contains information related to the safe operation of the Jeti Tauro H3300LED and to the safe-
ty of the user and the persons around the equipment. Anybody who uses the printer must read this chapter
carefully before starting the machine. The safety instructions given in this chapter must be strictly observed
together with the safety rules which are applicable in the company where the machine is used.
Failure to comply with the information contained in this section could result in injury, loss, or machine dam-
age that is not covered by any warranty nor reparations made. The operator is solely responsible to adhere to
the local regulations and laws of safe machine operation.
Safety Labels on the Jeti Tauro H3300LED
The engine features safety symbols and declarations of safe operation for the operator and surrounding
personnel to obey while the Jeti Tauro H3300LED in operation. Make sure you know the location and
fully understand what these safety symbols mean and how they help you to interact safely with the
machine and its surrounding environment.
Electric shock hazard - This label is on the electronic cabinet doors. Contact
may cause electric shock and burn. Switch off and disconnect electric sup-
ply before servicing. The service engineer and the key operator are the only
persons entitled to open the electronic cabinet doors.
Burn Hazard - Do not touch. Switch off power and allow cooling before ser-
vicing.
UV Protection - This symbol represents potential UV exposure hazards. Wear
UV shielding glasses. Continued exposure may burn skin. Were protective
clothing. Avoid looking directly into the UV light sources, even when wearing
UV glasses.
Pinch Hazard - This symbol represents pinch hazards near rolling assemblies
that could catch an extremity or pull in loose clothing. Be aware of these
roller assemblies, especially when the engine is in RTR mode. Failure to be
cautious of this symbol could result in serious injury to yourself or others.
Punch Hazard - Machine parts with this label could trap and subsequently
shear an extremity of an operator during machine operation. The operator
should be cautious and make clear to bystanders that the danger present
could result in bodily injury.
Crush hazard from right - This symbol indicates crush hazard present during
machine operation that could trap and subsequently shear an extremity of an
operator. The operator should be cautious and make clear to bystanders that

Keep hands out: This symbol is located on the viewing door. It instructs the
user to keep his hands out of the equipment. It specically recommends not
to attempt to slide a hand inside the engine through the brush at the bot-
tom of the viewing door. Failure to be cautious of this symbol could result in
serious injury
Fire prevention
Keep the inks and solvents in storage cabinets designed to hold ammable liquids. Clearly label this
storage cabinet to comply with occupational safety regulations. The storage cabinets should meet the
standards set in NFPA 30, sections 4-3.2 to 4-3.2.3 and with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1919.106(d)) or
according to local re and occupational safety standards.
Do not store more than 225 liters of ink and solvent (ushing uid) in any single storage cabinet.
Strictly observe local re ordinance regarding the use and storage of ammable materials. Make sure to
store inks separately from acid, alkaline and oxidizing materials.
Do not locate spark producing equipment within 7.6 m (25 ft.) of the Jeti Tauro H3300LED and the am-
mable liquid storage cabinets or within the distances specied by local re ordinances.
Fire extinguishers using carbon dioxide (CO2) should be easily accessible and visible from all approach-
es to the printer. They should be reachable within 7.6 m (25 ft.) of the printer and the ammable liquids
storage cabinets, or according to local re ordinance. Do not use water to put out a re. Use water spray
only to cool containers. Do not pour water on leaked materials.
Ventilation
Proper ventilation is mandatory for safe operation of the printer. Please refer to presite manual for spec-
ications.
Waste Management
Contact local re safety, occupational safety and hazardous waste disposal regulatory agencies for in-
formation about specic storage and disposal requirements for wastes associated with the printer.
A covered reproof container clearly labeled as hazardous waste should be available for disposal of
waste solvent and ink. Electrically ground this container during transfer of liquids into or from the con-
tainer. If solvent soaked rags or absorbents must also be disposed of in a closed reproof container and
labeled as hazardous waste.
Locate both waste tanks at least 7.6 m (25 Ft.) from the Jeti Tauro H3300LED. Do not discharge waste
tanks in sewers. Waste tanks are banned from landll sight.
