TechnicalFeatures:
Epson generation 9th print head----DX9 print head
Ultra 9600 series printer adopts Epson DX9 print head which is newest four-in-one
EPSON PIEZO print head with 6 lines nozzles. Each line contains 180 nozzles with total 1080
nozzles. Upgraded on the basis of DX7 print head, DX9 print head possesses a higher fire
frequency and a more secure circuit design.
Gray Scale Variable Ink Drop Technology.
Ultra 9600 printers adopt Gray Scale controlling system which can generate 3 kinds of
drop volume with the minimum drop volume of 3.5pl. Thus the printing effect could be
more precise and vivid.
Fault-Tolerant Feather Technology
The most advanced fault-tolerate feather technology, developed by WIT-COLOR team,
realizes the gradient printing instead of linear printing. Due to the constitution of gradient
ink dot, fault-tolerant feather technology can effectively remove the stripe, thus
perfecting the picture.
LCD Control Panel
With LCD control panel, the printer could be operated to fulfill a series of convenient
maintenance like head-cleaning, ink-sucking, flashing media-feeding, media-retreating
and resetting.
USB Control Board
Equipped with USB control board and USB2.0, the printer is connected to the computer
via USB data cable. Meanwhile, the built-in memory chips of USB control board
improve the printing speed.
High-speed Motion System
The AC servo motor of the printer has a feature of high speed and high stability. In
mechanical part, the printer adopts imported linear rail, timing belt with steel wire and
copper gear. In the positioning system, the printer can achieve multiple 720 resolution
with180 DPI encoder stripe.
Rapid Heating and Drying System
The printer has two sets of heating system and one set of drying system. Pre-heating
contributes to absorption of ink by opening the coating of material. Post-heating
contributes to rapid coagulation of ink. In the collaboration of heating system and drying

5
system, each picture could be dried before collected.
Automatic media feeding and collecting system
The automatic media feeding system is designed with photoelectric control. The system
could bear large media like fabric and keep media moving in parallel. With passive media
collecting system, the printer achieves low energy consumption when bearing the light
media.

5, Don’t use extensive USB cable and the USB cable shall be screened.
6, Turn off all switches, and then connect the power supply cables or unplug the power .
Environment:
1, Please keep away from magnetic equipments and leave enough space around the
printer.
2, Please keep the room dust-free and suitable temperature.
3, The printer should be on the smooth ground. Do not tilt the printer, which will result in
deviation of media feeding.
4, Please avoid floors prone to vibration like aisle. Keep air in circulation.

8
5, Please keep away from direct sunlight or heat source. Stable temperature guarantee
stable chip operation.
6, Required temperature: 10-35℃; Required humidity: 30%-80%. Improper temperature
will reduce the printing effect.
7, Keep away from all the corrosive liquid and gas.
Please follow the correct operation.
Notice of Devanning
The equipment is packed in a wooden case. Qualified operator and Screwdriver are
required.
1, The gross weight of equipment is 300kg. Please remove with forklift.
2, Wear gloves when operating to avoid unnecessary injury.

InstallationCautions
Mechanical and Electronic Assembly
Assembly printer from foot to body. Shrapnel and gasket must be attached to all
the allen screw.
1, Frame Installation: Left foot
Recognize components position through screw hole.

14
Distinguish the front of the machine through screw hole.
2, Confirm the foot position, and then install the first crossbeam.
3, Install the second crossbeam and media collect motor.

15
4, Install media collect system.
5, Connect printer body and frame. The screw hole must correspond.
6, Open the right side cover and release the carriage.
7, Printer’s front view.

16
8, Install the tray to hold wasted ink box.
9, Insert ink cartridge: notice the position of needle and ink cartridge

17
Do not tighten the screw until all the screws are ready. If the screw is
sidetracked, please remove and screw again instead of pushing by force.
Inspection
1, The connection of encoder sensor and encoder stripe shall be accurate as shown in the
picture.
2, The distance between carriage and printing panel is about 3 mm. The height of
carriage can be adjusted by screws.

18
3, Move carriage and calibrate printing panel. The distance from the carriage bottom to
printing panel should be even from left to right. Adjustment can be made by propping
up and pulling down the screws(marked with red in picture).
4, Make sure the ground wire is connected.
5, Check all cables' connections in PCBs and drivers.

19
①Open the front protecting cover
②Check PCBs
Check slot and interface. (Examples for your reference)
If the slot or interface got loose, please tighten it and then close the cover.

20
6, Turn off all switches, and then connect the power supply cables. After turning on the
Circuit Leakage Protector's Swith, then turn on the Main Power Supply.
Self Inspection
Printer’s auto self inspection will be performed when restarted. The process is below:
Capping nozzles moving down→Carriage moving right→Carriage
replacement→Capping nozzles moving up
First, the print heads' scraper moves until reaching the Optical Couple Switch. (If the
scraper is in the position of Optical Couple Switch, and the scraper does not move
with the motor running, then it means the Couple Switch does not work well.)
