Essential Indication of the Printer

Preface
We use software such as PhotoShop and Corel
Draw to make images to print and then
RIP the image to print. After initializing
(the carriage finishing checking itself) and
executing printing command, the main
board gets instructions through the serial
port. It controls the carriage and the roller.
Caution: When the printer is working, the
computer, which controls the printer at
real time mode, cannot execute other
programs.
The USB main board, connect board, servo
driver and stepper driver work as below:
Feed forward and feed reverse commanded by

J1: J1 is the driving voltage for print heads and
print head boards. 5V is used to drive print
head boards. Its normal voltage is
5V±0.2V, 35V is used for the ignition of
print heads. Its normal value is
33.3V±0.3V. Both of the two values
should be between the limits of above. If
the value is too great, print heads can be
easily burnt. If the value is too less, the
stability of the printer goes bad and the
printing cannot be normal.
J2:J2 is the port for input of the signal of servo
and stepper. It receives signals from the
connect board by 15core FFC cable. If the
port or the FFC cable has been damaged, it
should be abnormal of the rotary of the
roller and the action of the carriage.

How to choose a computer

With the development of science, the computer
have been developed from original cesium
beam tube and large scale integrated circuit to
high density integrated chip. Skyjet printers
have been improved from the 1st generation to
3rd generation. Their data transferring modes
are changed form parallel interface and
10/100M network adapter to USB2.0 interface.
The BPS (Byte Per Second) of USB2.0 is 480M.
Its speed is 40 times as USB1.1. It demands
computer for an advanced configuration. We
recommend some computer configurations.
As for CPU, we recommend Pentium series
CPU manufactured by Intel company which
frequency should be above 2.4G Hz. Because
of shortage of 2 level cache, Celeron series
CPU’s speed is too low to make the printer run
in good condition. There are some problems of
compatibilities in AMD XP and 64bit series
CPU, so we do not recommend AMD series
CPU.
As for main boards of computer, we
recommend main boards which north bridge
type should be Intel 848, 865PE, 875, 915 and
925. All these types main boards support
USB2.0 interface. User should use main boards
manufactured by big factory for example Asus,
Micro star, Giga Byte, Abit.
As for RAM, we recommend DDR SDRAM
which capacity is above 256M and frequency is
above 333MHz.
We recommend Video card of AGP 8X. For
example, FX5200, FX5600, FX5700 and
FX5900 of Nvidia company, Radeon 9200,
9500, 9600 and 9800 series of ATI are
recommended.

4.Temperature: The temperature should be
between 20 and 25 centigrade. If it is low,
ink can’t flow fluently and leads to the
interrupt of print heads during printing.
 Installation

How to place the printer and how to make the earthing cable for the printer

1. Level The Printer

Leveling For The Printer is vital for its
efficiency. We can do just like this. Put
the leveling instrument on the rail of the
printer to observe the horizon of 4
directions (front, rear, left, right). Adjust
the foundation bolt to make the bubble
of the leveling instrument in the middle.
2. Power Supply Wiring
220 V voltages should be inputted to the
printer and its capacity is 3000kw.The
power supply should be isolated.
Overload protection is necessary for the
breaker. It is recommended that a 30A
breaker be used. If there is often a power
failure, you can use a diesel generator.
Due to the surge of the diesel output
voltage, an online UPS is important for
the printer. If the power is not so clean,
we can use a stabilizer.
Installation

3. Earthing The Printer

Good earthing is necessary for the smart
running of the printer. There are a few
points deserve paying attention to:
a、 Earthing resistance is below 4Ω.
b、Earthing poles is more than 3 . (The
diameter and length is 5 cm and 2m of
each steel stick) The distance of every pole
is more than 1m to decrease the
distribution resistance. Some salt and
carbon can decrease the earthing resistance.
c、 Hammer poles into the ground. 200mm
should be left for connection. Use some
iron bar soldered together with the 3 poles
and make a hole on the iron bar for
earthing cable.
d、Make a hole which diameter is about 1 cm
for the earthing cable.
A piece of copper line which cross area is
above 6mm2 should be used.
 Installation

4. Lubricating The Rail Of The Printer

Rail lubrication is very important for the future use. Specified rail lubrication oil is
recommended. Dry lubrication oil can decrease the duration of slide plate. Watery lubrication
oil can contaminate the printer. It is recommended that oil coefficient of viscosity be between
30 and 150 cst.

How to connect printer and computer

There are 2or3 pieces of cables from the printer to the computer. There is a piece of cable with
two D shape 9 pins sock.. One terminal should be connected to COM1 of the computer and the
other terminal should be connected to the main board of the printer on the carriage. On the USB
main board, there are two serial ports. The one which is far away from USB2.0 port is that we
should connect to. That is J5 on the USB main board. There is a piece of USB2.0 cable connected
between computer USB 2.0 port and USB main board on the carriage of the printer. There are
some computers with bad compatibility which can’t be turned on when USB cable connected to
the printer. After installing the drivers for the printer and computer, even if we do not turn on the
printer, the LEDs of D6 and D7 on the USB main board of the printer will be bright. If D5 and D6
are bright but D7, it means drivers for the computer and printer is not installed properly. If there is
the function in the printer, a piece of data cable should be connected to the computer and the
printer.
Installation

How to install drivers for USB2.0

 Installation
How to install print heads

After flushing the new print heads, fasten the print heads on print head set. And then, install all the
print heads on the arc board on the carriage. Connect print heads and print head controller board.
 Installation
How to test print heads
Check all the circuit of the print. Make sure
there are no disconnections. Power up the
printer by the breaker of the mains. After
AC220V getting to the breaker of the printer,
turn it on. The breaker is located on the left
side of the gate of the head cabinet or on the
left side of the distribution panel in the head
cabinet. The indicator on the control panel will
be on. And if there is a shortage of ink in some
sub tank, the ink pump will work automatically.
Turn on the emergency of the printer by rotate
the switch clockwise. In normal condition, the
2 LEDs on the print head control board will be
on. There are 2 LEDs on the print head control
board. One is red and the other is green of
them. When the 2 LEDs are bright, that means
5V and 35V have been supplied to the boards.
After the 2 lines of voltage getting to the
boards, LED on the print head board will blink
until the printer finish its initialization. The
process of initialization is like this:
The carriage of the printer will move
forward (right hand when you stand in
front of the printer) and then move
backward (left hand). We call this action
initialization. At the same time, the servo
driver displays “R 0”. After initialization,
Click “Check” in skyjet manager. The
printer will print a series of color blocks.
By this group of color blocks, we can
conclude something. One goal is the
status of print heads. If the color blocks
are not so full or there are some white
lines in them, we should use the
automatic cleaning function or vacuum
the print heads with vacuum cleaner. The
other goal is to observe the position of
each group of the color block. Print heads
adjustment is as below:
 Installation
①Click “Check”. The carriage moves and the printer will print a series of color blocks.

From above figure, all the print heads are not in one horizontal line. And the print heads position is
not good in every color.
②Align all the upper lines of print heads of number 0 in one line. As the printing above, we can
adjust the screws on the print head set. Black0, yellow0 and magenta 0 are in one horizontal line. So
we can just make the light magenta0 inside to raise the Lm0, light cyan0 outside to decline the Lc0
and cyan0 outside to decline c0.
③Adjust number 1(the 2nd row) print heads of every color to be closed to number 0 print heads of
every color. The principle is that there is no gaps and no overlaps between each of the color blocks.
④After finishing the adjustment, the printing should be like below:

⑤The next step is to decide the value of “one nozzle feed”. Open Skyjet Manager. Select the
option as below to select the “color mode”

Press “Test” button, the printer prints maybe like below figure.

C1 is on the left side of C0. M1 is on the right side of M0. Y1 is on the left side of the Y0. K1 is
on the left side of K0. Lc1 is on the left side of Lc0. Lm1 is on the right side of Lm0. We should
do like this to make print heads of number 0 and number1 in one horizontal line. Double click
row C and column1 in the below area of figure1 for modification. Increase the value till the C1 is
accurate under the C0. It is the same as other colors for calibration. After finish row1 print head
calibration. Let’s go on row 2 print head calibration. Increase C2, M2, K2, Lc2 and Lm2 values.
Decrease Y2. Make three lines of the same color print heads in one vertical line. After the vertical
line calibration, the printing of “Test” should be like this.
 Installation
Usually, what user should do is just load the file in the cd-rom with the printer which extension name
is .sjp. When you have loaded the default parameter, there may be a condition that the calibration is not
so accurate. We can modify the H1, H2, H3, H4 and H5 value in the above area in figure 1 to make the
six lines apart. This can adjust the parameter easily. After make vertical line calibration of 6 color, we
will go on the horizontal lines calibration.

③How to adjust horizontal error

Horizontal error means if the printer would print on one vertical line when it go and return. After
print heads unidirectional calibration, it is necessary to adjust the horizontal error. Click “Test” in the
control panel of the skyjet manager.
Installation

The horizontal error in above figure is not so bad. So we can just do a slight adjustment. When the
carriage goes back, the quality of the printing is not good. We should adjust the parameter for
horizontal error severally. Modify the value in the control panel to make the line forward deviated
the line backward severely. Thus we can observe them clearly.
Installation

Click the button in the red ellipse in above figure to modify the horizontal error severally.
Installation

For better preview, let’s see the printing in detail.

Installation
Open the window of details of horizontal error. We take left calibration line as reference. Move
other print heads left or right. Increasing the value to move the print head left and decreasing the
value to move the print head right. The calibration line printed when it goes forward depends on the
parameters in the machine parameter window in skyjet manager. The calibration line printed when
it goes backward is determined by the parameters in the windows of details of horizontal error.
Until the calibration lines when it goes forward and backward are in 2 vertical lines as below:

Now, it’s time to modify the general horizontal error in the control panel. We can input a large
value to observe which direction the calibration line when it goes backward printed. Increase and

Dither type Select the dithering for the output.
Dither Type is the pattern in which the individual dots that make an image are applied to the
media. Each dither type has advantages in terms of quality and RIP speed. The
default dither type is usually the best setting for your machine.
The software offers several dithering options to optimize your output. Usually,
quality and speed are in tradeoff, with KF Diffusion offering the highest quality and
the LX Diffusion or FMXPress offering the fastest processing times.
The available patterns (in descending order of quality) are:
Operation

KF Diffusion This is an enhanced version of the error diffusion method. While it

takes longer to RIP (5-6 times more than FMXPress), it provides the
highest detail and contrast for most inkjet printers.
Error Diffusion This method produces high-quality images.
The enhanced image quality requires intensive processing (3-4 times
more than FMXPress), and the time it takes to RIP a file using this
method is the second longest of the available options.
Random Diffusion A balance between image quality and RIP time. It takes 2-3 times
longer than FMXPress.
FMXPress The default diffusion method. It.s the fastest in terms of RIP time and is
suitable for most prints.
LX Diffusion A faster option as far as RIP times are concerned. It’s a good choice for
large prints that will be viewed from a considerable distance.
Angled Screen Designed for use with thermal printers to produce vibrant, saturated
colors. This is also used to produce screen print positives.
Click Screen to set advanced options.
Enhance Dither Quality
If this option is checked, the software will use an advanced algorithm
for dithering that produces better results than the default algorithm, but
takes more than twice as long to RIP.
Operation
Perform color correction Checking this option activates the color correction settings. If
this setting is not checked, incoming jobs are assumed to have
already color corrected in the design application.
If color correction is off, the software will use a generic CMYK

How to reserve and maintain print heads

Print heads are the most important part in the printer. Right use is necessary for the life of them.
1. Print Head Structure
Ink way and piezo-ceramic composes of the actuator of XJ-128 200 Plus print head. One
terminal is connected to the stream pipe and the other terminal is connected to nozzles.
Nozzles are made of polyimide membrane. Stream pipe is connected to ink way between
filter.
2. Circuit Protection
①Do not touch the socket of the print head in case of oxidation.
②Before installation, dry the socket of the print head in case of burning print head by short
circuit.
③Prevent ink from splitting in the circuit of print head.
④It is necessary for print head to eliminate the heat.
⑤Be ware of static electric shock on the print head. It is important to eliminate static electric.
3. Print head supervisor
①Press Check to test the print head if there are some white lines in the color blocks. If there are
some white lines in the color blocks, there will be bandings in the printing.
②We recommend using the function of printing color bar and splitting ink every a few lines.
③When stopping the machine, empty the ink in the print heads and use some thing to seal the
print heads.
 Daily Maintains Of The Printer

4. Print Head Ink Supply

The printer can’t print continuously. After vacuuming the print head, the printing quality becomes better.
But a moment later, it goes worse. We call it insufficient ink supply. There are some factors which can
cause insufficient ink supply.
①Temperature: If it is too low, ink can’t flow fluently which can cause insufficient ink supply.
②Ink level: If the ink level is low, the resistant of ink supply increased which can cause insufficient ink
supply.
③Leakage: There should be no leakage in the joint of print head and the pipes. When bubbles go into the
print head, there will be bandings.
④Print Heads: There are some problems in internal circuit. Ink supply disorders. Air goes into the print
head easily which cause the insufficient ink supply.
⑤Thickness: Printing thickness and ink supply speed are a pair of contradictions. If the printing needs
more thickness, it is necessary for high ink supply speed.
⑥Ink: Small granule, middle viscosity and slow volatilization of solvent is needed. Small granule can
solve the problem of print head jam. Middle viscosity can ensure the speed of ink supply. It is not easy to
coagulate with slow volatilization of solvent.
⑦Ink level should be lower than print head between 15mm-30mm.
5. Print Head Jam
① Normal condition: Print head jam problem is popular for the printer which is used for solvent printing.
The cause of print head jam is after ink solvent volatilizing, granules gather in the nozzles.
②Abnormal condition: ink or some impurity jams in the nozzles. The solution is to use filters to keep
impurity out of the ink tank. Do not use solvent at random when cleaning the print heads.
 Daily Maintains Of The Printer
6. Print Head Cleaning
①Junior cleaning: Use soft brush with solvent to dissolve dry ink outside of the nozzles. Vacuum
waste ink in the print head to make nozzles fluent.
②Middle Cleaning: Use injection tube or other tools to flush the print heads from the inlet of print
heads. The pressure should be below 1kg.
③Senior Cleaning: The serious jammed print heads should be cleaned thoroughly. Immerse print heads
for a long term or use a ultra sonic agitator to clean them.
7. Use Print Head
There are some factors as surroundings, heat elimination, conflicting, humidity and cleaning which can
effect the use of print heads.
①Print Head using environment: Temperature 20-40℃, Humidity 60-80%, no dust and good
ventilation.
②Be careful with print head instillation and uninstallation.
③Do not power up the printer when there is no ink in print heads. The heat produced by print head
should be brought away by ink.
④Be careful with the membrane on the nozzles. If it is damaged, the print head can’t print in a straight
line.
⑤Prevent print head from conflicting or else the piezo-ceramic will be damaged.
⑥If you do not use the print heads for long time, clean the print head inside and put them in the solvent
except their circuit.
⑦Clean print heads with specified solvent. Do not use strong solvency and quick volatilization ink or
else it will erode internal circuit of the print head or jammed by dry ink.
