MOUNTING BRACKETS
Please setup machine with minimum distance that you could. Closer distance for better printing quality.
We are recommend from 1-3 mm.
Step 1
Select direction to mount machine on the conveyor or production line.
Step 2
Installing the base clamp to the side of the conveyor or production line.
Step 3
Installing the clamps to the round bar.

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201711
Step 4
Select the suitable bar length for each case.
Horizontal setup
This setup will be used to print on carton box, bottle, tray, pipe, etc…
Vertical setup
This setup will be used to print on paper, film, and other flat substrates.
NOTES: With default machine, we don’t support this setup. You need buy more accessories (round
bar and clamps).

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201712
Step a:Add more clamp to bracket.
Step b: Add one more vertical round bar.
NOTES:
Make sure the brackets are mounted firmly to avoid vibration and sway of the print head. This will affect
the print quality.

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201713
GETTING STARTED
Install the machine on your conveyor according to the installation instructions. See the Quick Start
Guide for more information.
•Set print direction and appropriate throw distance to obtain best print quality (1-3 mm).
•Insert ink cartridge.
•Plug the power cord into an appropriate power source to start up the machine.
•The printer need PE (Protective earthing conductor) connection before use.
EXTERNAL DEVICES CONNECTIONS
NOTES:
•Machine is able to operate with External Sensor, Encoder, Alarm at a time. Consult your supplier
for further supports on the settings and connections.
•To connect machine with External Sensor, Encoder, Alarm, etc…, additional connector DB15
(male) will be required.
EXTERNAL SENSOR
Machine supports NPN, PNP and Push-pull sensor types.
•Connect sensor using power supply on machine 24VDC.
•Connect sensor to machine using external power supply. Below demonstration is for external
power supply of 5VDC.

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201714
ENCODER
An encoder is recommended to ensure the best print quality regardless the inconsistent speed of
conveyor.
To calculate wheel diameter (D) depend on resolution (R) is:
D = R/( x 600) (inches).
Example: Encoder has R = 3600 (PPR),
D = 1.90985 inches ~ 48.5 mm.

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201715
COMBINE EXTERNAL SENSOR AND ENCODER
In some case you need to use external sensor and encoder to get perfect printing quality. But the
machine have one extended port only. Please do as following instruction to take external sensor and
encoder work together with machine.
See picture for this situation.
See this picture for connection pins.
NOTES:
PIN12 (24V) use for both of Encoder and External sensor.

USER MANUAL V2.0| Updated 01-Aug-201716
ALARM
Allow users to monitor operation of Machine from distance via the light signals from the Alarm.
INPUT AND OUTPUT
Input: To trigger some functions (reset counter …). Accept NPN or dry contact.
