Procedure for moving the Trafficjet to a new facility.
The below process is to be followed prior to moving the Trafficjet to the new facility.
This should only be performed with printers less than 12 months old and must be setup
within 10 days of shipping to avoid damage to the ink system.
Please consult with your Avery Dennison Specialist Team to confirm the printer is in a
shippable condition and any appropriate parts are replaced before the following
procedure can take place.
Note: Before proceeding please ensure the appropriate packaging is ready to
allow for the printer to be packed up. This is the large pallet or crate the printer
came in. If you have disposed of the packaging please contact your local Avery
Dennison Team to arrange alternative packaging.
1.) Perform a Longstore. This will drain out all of the ink currently in the system and
then flush out and residual from the lines and sub tanks. Ensure you have 8 full flush
cartridges (or bags) to perform this process. Make a note of the location of each color
prior to starting this process. Please also ensure you have a fresh, full sealed set of
spare inks at the facility the printer is being shipped too.
To perform:
- Press Menu
- Select Setup
- Cycle Down to "Set 19: Longstore" and press enter.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and do not move to the next step until prompted.

The printer will have you first remove the ink cartridges so it can drain the lines.
*Note: If you are using bags, remove the ink cartridges from the bags once the
machine asks to insert cleaning cartridge. Ensure the adaptor has a new rubber
stopper before proceeding with flush bags.
Next it will have you load flush into all 8 slots and charge the system with flush. It will
then have you remove the flush cartridges and drain the system again. Last it will go
through one more flush cycle. When completed it will give a message "All Cartridges
Discharged".
Do not re-insert the cartridges once the Longstore process has been completed.
2.) Turn off the printer and put head height in low position.
3.) Insert the Carriage Lock that will hold the head into place during transit. This should
be located in the left hand maintenance cover. It is a small angled bracket and a thumb
screw. The bracket and thumb screw are shown in bullet 3.3 in the installation guide
here: https://mutoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/VJ1638W-Installation-Manual.pdf
4.) Unplug and remove all power cables (the static bar cable can be taped or tied onto
the top of the printer as the static bar does not need to be removed).
5.) Remove the rewind bar on the Take Up Unit.
6.) If Installed remove the TJ Plus Heating door & Heater control box. Instructions here
for installation (reverse this for removal):

7. ) Remove the waste tank from the tube and disconnect the waste tank cable.
With the waste tank tube and cable hanging next to each other, carefully wrap the tube

band to seal.

Tape both the bags securely to the underside of the printer. Place the waste tank in a
large plastic bag, ensuring it is clean and empty prior to transport.
8.) Wheel the printer out on the stand next to the Shipping pallet or crate the printer
originally came in.
9.) Undo all 8 Wing-nut screws that are located on the underside at the top of the stand
(4 on either side) as per photo:

10. Using two steel rods that will hold the printer. Carefully slide the rod into the rod
guides (see below).
The guides are located to the inside of the stand on the underside of the printer. Lift the
printer onto the pallet following the below steps.
Using 5 staff members:
- One Staff member to guide the machine and four staff members to lift (two on
each side of the steel rods). Note: Transport the printer with the steel rods as
they will be needed to place the printer back onto the stand at the new location.
- Lift the machine down onto the pallet lining up the foam to the bottom edges of
the printer (be careful not to tilt the machine).
- Once the machine is sitting comfortably on the foam:
- Two ratchet tie-down straps can be used on either side of the printer to ensure
the printer does not move inside the pallet foam. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
- Insert the cardboard packing back over the printer and tape the box back on
top. Plastic strapping can be added to ensure the packaging does not come
loose.
11. The printer stand and take-up unit can be wrapped in packaging and shipped
separately from the printer as they are on wheels if required.
The take-up bar needs to be strapped lightly to the stand so it does not drop down.

and jostling during transit.

the stand.
