1.1 Getting New Setup Media Screen :
Hold SETUP key down. The screen will read NOW PROCESSING, then SETUP MEDIA.
If you don’t see this on the LCD Screen you can’t do new media setup.
NOTE
The machine remembers previous media settings, if those settings were yours, you don’t have
to setup your media again.
It is a good idea to take a note of your settings after you finish as well if you are going to use
the same material to print on in the future.
1. SETUP MEDIA at UV Flatbed Printer

1.2 Press SETUP Key once when LCD screen says SETUP MEDIA
This will start the media setup process. In this process you will manually input 3 pieces
of information about your material :
Height : Refers to the Height of the flat bed. You have to adjust it so the distance between the
print head and your material is around 1mm.
Scan/Feed : Refers to the [0,0] - [x,y] - location of your printing area (or your material), meaning
the starting point. The default 0,0 is in the lower right corner of printing area.
Width/Length : Refers to the full size of your print. The machine is setup as this point is on
the left upper corner of your printing area (or your material). By adjusting this point, you get
the width and length of the material registered.

1.3 Adjusting the Height :
Place your material aligning it with the right lower corner of the flatbed.
Press [IN] key to push the flatbed into the Head Gap Sensor, aligning your material right under it so you
can see the distance between them. If your material is very thick and looks like it will hit the Head Gap
Sensor, lower the flatbed using TABLE [DOWN] key before pushing the table in under the Head Gap
Sensor.
IMPORTANT :
This is the only time you can keep the front cover open, to be able to see accurately what you are
doing. At all other times front cover must be closed.
Cursor keys will make the flatbed move continuously if you hold them down. If you need to adjust in
small increments, it is better to press them in short strokes.
Press TABLE [UP] key to adjust the distance between Head Gap Sensor and your material. This distance
should be around 1mm for a great print resolution.

When you are happy with the distance, quickly press [ENTER] key
(if you don’t do this quickly, the machine will go back to it’s previous settings and you have to start all
over)
Congrats you set up the Height!

1.4 Adjusting Scan & Feed :
Close the front cover and continue the process. The LCD screen will read SCAN/FEED with numbers
next to it. This is the starting point of your printing area. If you placed your material at that (0,0) corner
of the flatbed you don’t have to adjust these numbers.
Press any cursor key to activate the Printing Head. It will travel to the previous SCAN/FEED location.
You will see a laser pointed on your material, see below. From there you can move the laser by pressing
cursor keys to the corner of your printing area (or material).
Press [ENTER] key, quickly so the machine doesn’t go back to the previous settings.
Congrats you set up the Scan/Feed!

1.5 Adjusting Width & Length :
The LCD Screen will read WIDTH/LENGTH, press any cursor key to activate printing head. It will travel
to the previous settings shining the laser on flatbed.
By pressing Cursor keys, move the laser to the left up corner of your printing area (or material). You will
see the numbers changing on the LCD screen reading your print area size.
