Matan JetSet 3.2P Printer 1 User Manual
Chapter 1 Outline
1.1 Main Characteristics
The JetSet printer includes the following main features:
♦The JetSet printer uses long life piezoelectric Hitachi E1 print heads, fixed on an
aluminum metal base. The JetSet printer is highly causticity resistant and can control
the ink point exactly, so that it can correctly adjust the fine color of the picture. It can
produce high quality images with brilliant and conforming colors.
♦The automatic cleaning system keeps the print heads in best working condition,
efficiently keeping the heads from drying. To clean the print heads, you only need to
click the Wash Heads function in the software window. The automatic cleaning
system can greatly extend the life of print heads and avoid the inconvenience
caused by frequent removal and washing of the print heads. The automatic cleaning
system thus ensures high efficiency, safety and convenience. The automatic
cleaning system is liquid protected.
♦The feeding system employs tension control on the materials, ensuring smooth
feeding. This prevents the possibility of pictures being destroyed due to material
sticking.
♦The LM (Linear Motion) carriage rail effectively eliminates the influence of carriage
shaking on the print precision, thus increasing the print quality observably.
♦The first inkbottle and second ink tank level sensor auto-alarming system supervises
the ink level all the time, preventing the waste due to the shortage of ink.
♦An inner warm-up and drying system ensures the ink dissolves in the medium quickly.
This not only increases the images’ outdoors durability but also extends the
application scope of substrates.
1.2 Quality and Safety Insurance
The JetSet conforms to the following Quality and Safety standards:
♦ISO9001: 2000 certificate, insuring the product’s quality.
♦CE safety certificate issued by TÜV Rhineland.

2.1 Feeding
1. Put the material on the material holder.
2. Pull the material on the feeding roller, put on cover cores at both ends, lightly put it
on the feeding roller rack. The material should be placed as centrally as possible.
3. Pull the material out from in front of the pinch roller toward the back.
4. Put the material around the main roller, spread the platform, pull it tight and spread it
evenly. Turn on both the Side & Middle air valve SW. The material should be feeding
toward the front and reaching the tension roller with open tension.

Note: If inducing material is to be added, do not stick two pieces onto the printer. Instead,
stick one piece on the ground and then feed it, making sure the stuck part is not pressed
between the pinch rollers.
To print on mesh, perform the following steps before feeding:
1. Turn off printer and remove the top platform board.
2. Close the ventilated cover and check if the waste ink tube is well connected.
3. Turn on printer.
4. The rest of the printing process is the same as normal printing.
To print double-face, perform the following steps:
1. Choose the right material.
2. Install the material and mark its installation position, then turn on the power and print.
During the printing process, the best method is to choose center printing.
3. After printing, use the drying icon to dry the printed media.
4. Next, feed the printed material on its other side. Make sure the installation position is
the same as you marked in “Step 2”
5. Choose mirror print. If the printing position is not right, adjust the position as follows:
a. Click the “Modify print” button. The Modify Print Position dialog box appears:

Matan JetSet 3.2P Printer 16 User Manual
b. Set the Modify print position field to change the left-right picture position.
c. Set the Modify print move length field to change the carriage position.
d. Set the Modify print step field to change the front-back picture position.
6. Repeat adjustments until the printing position is right.
2.2 Starting your Printer
1. Insert the printer's main power plug into the power outlet.
2. Pull the emergency stop switches on the two ends of the printer out/up.
