Printer Assembly

Unpacking the Printer

Carefully remove the printer from the box and place it on a flat,

stable surface. This procedure requires two people. Check the pack-

ing list to ensure that all of the accessories are present. (See the FlexJet

E printer or StudioJet Quick Start Guide for more information.) Save all

packing materials and the box.

Assembling the Stand

Assemble and level the stand using the hardware included in the Ac-

cessory Kit

and directions outlined in the See the FlexJet E printer or

StudioJet Quick Start Guide.

Attaching the Printer to the Stand

Attach the printer to the stand with the top bars resting in the

notches in the stand legs. Use the hardware as indicated in the See the

FlexJet E or StudioJet Quick Start Guide.

Connect the printer to the Computer: Overview

Connect the printer to your computer via serial cable (provided in the

Accessory Kit

). The corresponding serial port on your computer may

be either a 9-pin or 25-pin male receptacle. If the computer has 25-pin

serial ports, a 25- to 9-pin adapter is necessary.
Once connected, select the correct port and data rate in your apparel

design software, FlexPlot and/or the Control Center. Consult the

design software manual or the dealer for further information. Infor-

mation on configuring FlexPlot and the Control Center follows in

the Operation chapter.

An overview of the complete setup procedure is described

in detail in the FlexJet E Printer and StudioJet Quick

Start Guides

(provided in the Accessory Kit).

Do not hold the printer

head by the bottom edge

of the end plates when

attaching it to the stand. Fingers

and hands might get pinched

between the end plates and stand

legs. Hold the bottom of the end

covers when handling the printer.

(See Figure 1.)

Caution

Before connecting the

printer to your PC, make

sure the computer and

the printer both have the power

turned off. Ioline recommends

using a surge protector power

strip for both the printer and the

computer.
