Temperature: 20-28℃

Humidity：40%-60% ， the temperature watch and barothermohy grogram must be installed

Air: 0.7 MPA dry air, dustproof device, and ventilation device.

Regulator: 1KVA UPS

Grounding: The printer must be grounded; the earth-plate must be firm and effective, so that the

printer can prevent itself from static and leakage. If you don’t have the standard grounding device in

the workshop, you must do as the following:

Dig a hole of 1 meter-length,1 meter-width and 1.5 Meter-depth, put one piece of metal plate,

especially copperplate, of 10mm-thickness and connect a lead wire to the ground as the grounding end.

You should not use the pipe or the conductor you think of. The static of the printer can not be higher

than 5V!

1.2. Safety Precautions! Warning!

Vista printers are designed accord with all the safety requirements of printing equipments. But to

ensure 100% safety, the operator should follow the safety precaution and operation instruction of this

manual and the improved version in future seriously.

Only the operator who is correctly trained and qualified to operation can be allowed to do installation

& maintenance.

Without JHF’s written permission, any modification, deletion, or replacement of the printer is

prohibited; or the machine warranty will be invalidate immediately.

The operator should learn this manual seriously and keep the manual somewhere, which is easy to get.

Since the equipment is a separate system, please do not use same power supply with other

power-eating equipments or electric interferential equipments to prevent the machine from electric

harm.

During the process of equipment works, the abruptly power off or Over-strong voltage (current) will

bring to un-forecast damages.

Neither let the equipment works near flammable liquid or gas, nor under the environment of excessive

dry and wet place.

To prevent the electronic parts from hot, please do not block the intake.

The computer is only used for controlling the printer. You are recommended that you won’t install any

other software except the printing software lest occur the software interference caused by virus or

different RIP software, and decrease the working speed and even the computer freezes suddenly. You

are also recommended that you have another computer for designing the RIP file purpose. When the

RIP file is ready, you save it in the printer’s computer. You are recommended to delete the file or save

the file in disc, floppy disc or other computer after the file has been printed instead of saving the file in

the printer’s computer.

The ink and solution are harmful for people’s eyes and skin; you should clean it as soon as it splashes

into the eyes. Please keep the ink and solution away from the children.

The ink and solution have the property of volatilization, so you should cover it when it isn’t used

against the volatilization of the efficient components, which may cause the ink and solution

invalidation. The invalid ink will damage the print head. The ink should be shook before it will be

used.

Please make sure there is no ink on the electric circuit board and cables lest circuit short or turn-off.

It is strongly suggested that you turn off the general power before you disconnect or connect any parts

of the printer.

Some cables in chain along the print-head carriage move frequently, so the connection on both ends

should be fixed tightly in case the strong movement causes the phenomenon of incomplete sending

-signal.

It the equipment can not work normally, please check the troubleshooting and make some maintenance

and repair, and also you should contact with service department of JHF Company to get some help.

JHF Company can not promise that once a person read this manual then he/she can be eligible to

operate, test and calibrate this printer.

JHF Company has right to explain this manual, and can not ensure this manual is totally in line with

your purchased machine model due to the market change. Please ask latest manual to match your

machine.

2), Press the reset switch then the electric magnetic valve and air pump begin to press ink separately

3), ink supply system

*Ink Supply: when the ink is on the bottom, floater sensor is on the bottom of the sub ink tank, it gives the

signal of connection, the ink supply board and the main ink tank is connected by the 24V, and the pump

works, the ink is going to the ink tank; when is on the upper limit level, the floater sensor gives the break

signal, ink supply is stopped. During printing, the ink in sub ink tank will falls gradually, after the ink

supply, the ink level increases again. It means the ink will be kept in a suitable scope to keep the printing

works well.

*Lack-ink Alarm: when the ink in the main ink tank is going finishing, the pump will keep working because

the connection signal keeps. When the pump works out of the time limit (the time to fill two sub ink tanks

time under the normal ink supply condition), the ink supply board will alarm and the indicator will blink to

remind the operator to fill the ink.
