1.4Introduction of the touch screen
There are four buttons when powering the printer on, which can access to the four
pages: the printing, the system setting, the files, and the print settings.
The main page, as shown the Figure1.
The printing page: As shown the figure1, it records and shows the printing
information: the printing file thickness, layers, panel raising speed, printing status, the
File format

ongoing printing image, and speeds etc.
System settings: As shown the Figures 3 and 4. There are two pages, one is the
network setting, which you can connect to the current LAN network so that the
machine can be connected wirelessly. The other is machine information which
indicates the machine information, such as module, serial number, and version
information.
The file page: As shown the figure5. It storage the whole files in the machine,
you can print, delete files here. It is the same page when using a U-disk.
The print setting: As shown the Figure6 &7. Two settings on this page, the panel
setting, and the SLC parameter setting.
The power off page: As shown the figure8. Press and hold the switch button for 3
seconds, then there will be a power off confirm page, at that time, press and hold the
switch for another 10 seconds will shut off the machine.

2. Machine Checking
As shown the Figure9, connect the power cable to the adapter first, then
connect the adapter to the machine, and finally connect the power cable
to the power supplier. The machine will start working automatically when
electric is connected, and the screen page will jump from Figure 10 to 11.

Figure 11 Figure 12
For a better observing the screen status, remove the printing panel before
the printing test. To remove the panel, you have to unscrew the fixed
knob first then remove the panel from the machine as shown the Figure
13. After that, press the “File” button on the screen, find and select the
file “TEST_MOTOR_SCREEN” as shown the figure12, then press the
“Print” button on the top left of the screen. If the panel is rested to the
horizon and moves up and down, and there is an image “NovaTest” found
as shown the figure14, it indicates the panel and the screen works
properly. (Notice: Be careful and not to stare at the screen)

3. Quick Print
3.1 Pannel leveling checking
The printing panel should be mounted on the printing arm when the
machine arrived. For better leveling the panel, it is best to set the printing

14
settings. Enter the “Print setting” page and press the “up
50mm” button (Figure16), then place the folded A4 paper that included in
the toolkit on the screen (Figure15).
Press the “Home” button (Figure17), when the panel is down to the
screen horizon point(figure18), remove the A4 paper (Figure19). At this
time, there should be some resistance when extracting the A4 paper by
hand. (The machine is already leveled when it arrived, feel the resistance
force of the paper at this time for it is the same force the next time
leveling. If the gap between the screen and the panel is too large, please
seeking supports from the customer service.)
3.2 Printing preparation
The printing panel should be close to the screen after being level, at
that time, press the “Raise 50mm” button (Figure16) to lift the panel up.
Then take out the resin tank (pour the resin into the tank first or after
placed on the machine are both acceptable), then match the holes at the
button of the tank with the holes around the screen.
Then place the tank as Figure20 shown (handle with care), and in the
end, insert the panel back into the printing arm (Figure21), screw and
tighten the fixing knob to complete the printing preparation.

3.3 Test print
Return to the “File” page, find and select file
“TEST_NOVA_8040.cws” (Figure22), then press the “Print” button on
the top left. After about 10 minutes, a small sheet containing "NOVA
TEST" as shown in Fig. 23 is printed.
Figure 22 Figure 23
4. Post-print processing
4.1 Remove the printed model
After printing, the printing platform will rise automatically, yet there are
still resins remain on the printing panel. Placed the tank for about half a
minute to let it flows naturally.
Then remove the printing panel as shown Figure24 (the printing platform
and the printing arm are fixed with magnets, pulled it out slowly with
little effort). And scrape the model off carefully with a utility knife as it is
fragile (Figure25).
At last, use some medical alcohol to flush the printing panel, or clean it
with paper towels or cotton swabs. (Notice: Never drop the alcohol in the
tank as it is made of plastic.)

4.2 Resin tank cleaning
After printing, there is theoretically only residual resin in the tank, but
there may actually be some solidified resins. Therefore, it is a must to
check and ensure the tank is no solid residue in the remaining resins. If
there is, be sure to clean it, otherwise it may result in a broken screen in
the next printing task.
When cleaning the tank, it is recommended to let the resin flow as
naturally as possible instead of washing it. It is no need to clean the tank
with water due to the use of special release materials. You can place the
resin tank vertically for a few minutes to the resin flow out (Figure24),
and then clean the rest with a piece of clean paper towel.
4.3 Next printing preparation
After clean the resin tank and the printing panel, do as the steps 3.1 and
3.2 to prepare the next printing task.
