1. Safety and Operational Guidelines
DANGER
This symbol identifies situations that endanger people, property, and/or equipment. If such
conditions exist, the equipment must be shut down and all energy sources (electrical, gas, and
pneumatic) must be disconnected, purged, and locked out until the problem is resolved.
Never attempt to bypass or defeat any safety device. Do not attempt to operate the equipment if
any safety device is not functioning properly, or if any doubt exists about proper operation of safety
devices.
The product described in this publication may operate at high speed and contain numerous
moving parts. It may employ natural gas or propane, mechanical or pneumatic forces, and/or
hazardous voltages, and may create other conditions that could, through misuse, abuse,
unauthorized alteration or retrofitting, inattention, or lack of understanding, result in injury, death, or
damage to the product or to other equipment. In addition, improper operation may also depreciate
the value of the machine and other assets of the owner, and impair the working efficiency of the
machine.
Energy Sources
M&R equipment may use one of more of the following energy sources:
Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)
Electricity
Gas (Natural Gas or Propane)
Each form of energy presents its own unique hazards and requires appropriate precautions.
Danger From
Compressed Air
(Pneumatic
Energy)
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to work on pneumatic components or assemblies. Before
work is started on pneumatic components or assemblies, equipment should be disconnected from the
air supply and all pneumatic lines should be purged to prevent accidental operation of pneumatic
assemblies. All pneumatic pipes and hoses should be checked frequently for damage and wear.
Danger From
Electrical
Energy
Only qualified personnel should have access to electrical enclosures or work on electrical systems,
and enclosures should be locked when not in use. Electrical equipment should be checked regularly.
WARNING
Failure to follow safety and maintenance procedures or to take appropriate corrected action when
required can result in severe or fatal personal injuries, property damage, and/or damage to the

Equipment
This illustrates a typical closed-loop compressed air supply system. It is designed to deliver clean, moisture-free
compressed air to pneumatic equipment. Chillers should be installed to help prevent moisture damage to pneumatic
seals, valves, and air cylinders that could void equipment warranties.
Air generated by the compressor (1) contains oil and moisture. The chiller (2) removes moisture as the air passes
through it into the air supply system (4). Shutoff valves (3) should be installed at strategic locations to allow operators to
isolate parts of the system for repair or maintenance without shutting down the entire system. A drain valve (6) should be
installed at the lowest point in the loop to drain off accumulated oil and moisture. The system may include one or more
feeder lines (5). To further reduce moisture and prevent other contaminants from entering pneumatic equipment, the
feeder line should force air to travel upward, causing moisture and contaminants to collect on the inside of the pipe and
flow downward toward the drain valve. The supply line should run horizontally to a position near the equipment before
turning downward (these lines are known as ‘air drops’.). Before reaching the equipment, the rigid supply pipe (7) should
terminate in a shutoff valve (3) connected to a 3/4” flexible rubber hose (9). The hose should be connected to the
filter/regulator/lubricator manifold (8) on the equipment. The regulator controls air pressure, the filter provides a final
moisture-removal stage, and the lubricator delivers a mist of special oil to lubricate all pneumatic components on the
equipment (10).
Note: System air requirements determine pipe sizes. Air systems should be designed and installed by licensed plumbing contractors.

The Preset counter is used to enter a number of
print cycles for a given print job. For example, if a
print job consists of printing 30 dozen (360) shirts,
enter 360. You may enter up to a maximum of
32,767 print cycles into the Preset menu The
minimum is 0.

entry cell to the right of Preset; a numeric keypad
is displayed. Enter the number of print cycles and
then press Enter.
Remaining
The Remaining menu selection displays the
number of print cycles which remain in the Preset
menu. The Remaining menu functions as a count
down display. To keep the Remaining count
accurate, the Remaining indication can be
accessed and changed in the event that 2 or 3
shirts are misprinted. To change the number of
print cycles for the Remaining selection, touch the
data entry cell to the right of Remaining;a
numeric keypad is displayed. Enter the number of
print cycles and then press Enter.
The Remaining menu also automatically activates
the Print Finish mode and sounds an audible
signal when the last shirt in the count is loaded
onto the press. If you entered 360 print cycles in
the Preset menu, when the Remaining menu
display reaches the last shirt or print cycle, the
press automatically enters the Print Finish mode
and the audible signal sounds.
Note: Clear the Reset and Remaining indication when
the print job is completed, or the PLC will respond
as though you are printing the same number of
garments on the next print job.

speed of the machine in dozens per hour. The
speed may not be reset. A horizontal bar with

print run, the horizontal bar fills in from the left to
the right. When you resume operation the current
speed in dozens per hour is automatically
displayed.
