2465-623 User Manual Rev F Page 4
Step 1: Installing Bracketry
Bracketry is the structure that supports the controller, print system and other accessories.
Carefully plan the mounting location of the equipment. Keep in mind bracketry hardware
location and printer equipment size. Assemble all bracketry to the floor, conveyor, or other
bracketry.
This manual details instructions for mounting all system components to a conveyor. Other
mounting options for the controller and print system include the floor mount and the retract-
ing bracket (see “Appendix C: Part Numbers” on page 83). Assembly instructions are
included with mount kits.
Corner brackets are attached to aluminum bars as shown.

Step 2: Mounting the Print System
Unpack the print head just before mounting to the bracketry.
Attach the print head to the bracketry with a print head mounting bracket. Do not connect to
power outlet.
The print head must be mounted in close proximity to the product. To maintain consistent
print, the head should be mounted no more than 1/8" from the substrate. An optional
retracting bracket is available to mount the head and control the distance from the head to
the substrate. The retracting bracket allows the head to bump the product and retract as
required to maintain a consistent throw distance. (See “System” on page 83 for bracketry
options.)
NOTE: Install optional retracting bracket kit on the print head prior to mounting the print
head to the conveyor bracket.
It may be necessary to vertically adjust each bracket's horizontal bar later to fine-tune mes-
sage placement. This is especially true when using multiple print heads, as message lines
will need to be synchronized with each other.
NOTE: When adjusting the horizontal bar or print head mounting bracket, always support
the print head with your hand to keep it from falling forward onto the conveyor.
NOTE: ProSeries print heads are supplied ink via capillary forces. Print heads must be
mounted in a level position from front to back to prevent leakage and provide proper ink
flow.

Setting Up the Print Head
The Matrix/Classic Series print heads are mounted using the 10-32 tapped holes on the
right or left side of the Ink System bottom case. The print head angle can be set between 0°
and 90°. (See “FJSOP4 - Installation of FoxJet High Resolution AMS/APS Printheads” on
page 97 for additional information.)
To adjust the head to its correct angle:
1. Loosen the two set screws (1/8" hex head) on the print head side of the head mount.
2. Rotate the head to the desired angle.
3. Secure the set screws.

Inks
Ink is supplied via 500 mL plastic containers. ScanTrue® II PLUS is a pigmented ink formu-
lated for use on porous substrates.
NOTE: Check the label on the Print Head for correct ink type.
Waste Bottle
The APS includes a Waste Collection Bottle mounted on the rear of the Print Head assem-
bly. This bottle must be changed when full to prevent improper operation of the system.
Instructions for waste disposal are on the collection bottle.
Do not reuse waste ink; contaminants will reduce system lifespan.
Step 3: Mounting the Photosensor and Encoder
Photosensor
The photosensor is both a light source and a sensor. It emits light and detects the arrival of
a product when the product reflects the light source back to the sensor. The sensor then
sends a signal to the controller to start the printing cycle.
The product detect Photosensor should be mounted on either side of the print head so that
the product passes by the sensor before the print face. Remove the plugs or set screws (3/
32" hex head) in the photosensor mounting holes, then attach the Photosensor Mounting
Bracket with the 10-32 x 1/2" screws provided with the bracket.
Encoder
The encoder assembly provides conveyor line
speed information to the controller. It also allows
automatic disabling of printing when the line
stops.
The Marksman© Matrix & Elite System uses a
5000 ppr open collector output encoder. The
wheel is sized to provide the correct timing
inputs to allow the print heads to print from 150
to 300 dpi.
ENCODER ASSEMBLY

Section 2: Installation
Marksman Matrix & Elite
2465-623 User Manual Rev F Page 9
The encoder uses a wheel
that rolls against the con-
veyor line to track its speed. It
sends a signal to the control-
ler, which adjusts for changes
in line speed.
It is not necessary to install
the encoder immediately adja-
cent to the print heads. It is
more important to place it
where it will accurately mea-
sure the speed of the con-
veyor. Install it in contact with
the conveyor, or with a wheel
or roller moving the same
speed as the conveyor.
The encoder's mounting
bracket is spring-loaded.
Adjust the spring collar to
ensure that the encoder main-
tains stable contact with the
conveyor.
CAUTION: Do not jam the encoder wheel against the surface of the conveyor. A radial
force of over 40 lbs. will reduce the life of the bearings.

Step 5: Priming the Print Heads
Priming:
1. With the Print Face Cover installed, press and hold
the Prime Button for ~10 seconds (until Ink Supply
LED blinks slowly) to activate the recirculation
function. Allow the system to recirculate for at least
5 minutes before pressing the Prime Button again
to end the cycle.
2. Remove the Print Face Cover and store in a con-
venient nearby location.
3. Use a foam swab to lightly wipe the orifice plate in
a vertical downward motion.
4. Prime the print head by momen-
tarily pressing the Prime Button
to manually activate the APS
(Automatic Priming System)
Cycle. Observe the print face for
bubbles in the ink. In the case of
visible bubbles, activate the
APS cycle 2-3 more times or
until no air is observed.
5. Verify print quality by using the
Marksman Controller to print a
Test Pattern (accessed via.
“Configure” menu) while slowly
passing a sheet of paper in front
of the print face. Ensure that no
gaps are present in the print and
that it has printed the full avail-
able height (2” for 384 and 4” for
768).
6. If gaps are present in the print sample, follow the recommended procedure for Recircu-
lation as necessary until the print head passes the print quality test above.
7. With all channels firing, the print head is ready to begin printing.
Recirculation
This function circulates ink through the print head to draw air out of the system. It is very
effective in recovering print channels.
1. If not installed; reinstall the Print Face Cover. Ensure that ship cap is clean before rein-
stalling by wiping the gasket with a lint-free wipe or a foam swab.
2. Press and hold the Prime Button until the Ink Supply LED blinks slowly (~10 seconds)
to activate the recirculation function. For the first 5 seconds the print head will run
through the Manual Prime cycle, continue holding the button to activate the Recircula-
tion mode. The Ink Supply LED will blink slowly while recirculation is active. Do not
remove the Print Face Cover in this mode.
3. Allow the recirculation function to run for the desired length of time. Five minutes is the
recommended interval.
4. Press the Prime Button to end the recirculation function. If the button is not pressed,
recirculation will shut off automatically after 15 minutes.

APS Cycle
The APS Cycle is a means of maintaining print quality. The APS system does this by using
a priming pump to force ink out of the channels and a vacuum pump and Waste Bottle to
collect the ink waste. The APS Cycle can be manually started by momentarily pressing the
prime button.
The APS Cycle will automatically activate at a designated time interval, which can be
adjusted using the rotary switch on the side of the Ink System case near the Prime Button.
The table below defines the settings available. Setting the rotary switch to 0 will disable
both automatic and manual APS cycles.
Manual Prime
A manual prime cycle is similar
to an APS cycle, except that it
is a bit more powerful and
uses a bit more ink. The cycle
can be started by pressing and
holding the Prime Button on

ing for longer than 1 second.
The cycle will run while the
Prime Button is held, up to 5
seconds total. Make sure to
release the button before 10
seconds have passed, to avoid
entering the Recirculation
mode without the Print Face
Cover attached.
NOTE: The system will not prime either manually or automatically if there is a low ink indi-
cation, which is caused by either low ink in the reservoir or full ink in the waste collection
bottle.
NOTE: Adjustment of Print Head angle should be done according to the procedure outlined
in “Setting Up the Print Head” on page 6.

Auxiliary Photosensor Input
NOTE: The APS Control Cable and Auxiliary Photosensor cannot be used together.
An Auxiliary Photosensor input is available to insure a print cycle is not missed during the
automatic priming sequence. Connecting the Auxiliary Photosensor will delay a prime
sequence until there is enough time to complete the sequence without missing a print
cycle. The default delay setting is three (3) seconds after the product passes the photosen-
sor. Multiple heads can share the Auxiliary Photosensor by using the Photosensor "Y"
Cable. To change the default setting, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the rotary switch is not in the "0" position.
2. Place a box in front of the photosensor.
3. While the photosensor is on, set the rotary switch to 0.
4. When the LED stays illuminated continuously, set the rotary switch to a new number (1
through F) representing the number of seconds (1 through 15) you want to delay. Note:
"0" is not an available user setting.
5. Press and hold the Prime button until the LED starts flashing.
6. Release the Prime button.
7. Remove the box from in front of the photosensor.
8. Set the rotary switch back to the desired hour setting.

Section 5: Getting Started
The Marksman Matrix and Elite controllers are standalone units capable of operat-
ing up to four print heads, with the addition of an optional controller card. The soft-
ware has an ICON user interface. The main difference between the two controllers
is the size and the resolution of the displays. The resolutions are 1024 x 1280 for
the Elite and 1024 x 600 for the Matrix. The extra room on the Elite display allows
for the software keyboard to be accessible at all times. To access the keyboard on
the Matrix, simply select a field that requires keyboard input and it will appear.
