PRINTING PLATFORM
Once you have found an area for your printer, gently insert the black printing platform in the front of the machine; the platform does not click or lock so you must be sure you inserted it fully. Be sure to confirm that the platform is flat and evenly level on the same surface as the printer.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE PRINTER
Before you begin printing with your new unit there are a few things that need to be done. Check over the following instructions before powering the machine up.
- The printer and black metal platform are both on a stable and level surface.
- The USB cable is connected to both the printer and your computer.
- All packing tape has been removed from the print, be sure to check under the lid to ensure there is no tape holding the carriage/printhead down.
FIRST TIME START-UP
With all preparations completed, it is time to power up your new printer. The directions below will walk you through correctly powering on and setting up your printer for the first time.
- Connect the power cable to both the printer and a known-good outlet.
- Press the Power Button and wait for the green light to light up.
- You will see that the orange light above the Ink Button will be blinking, simply hold it down until the printer begins making sound. This will initiate a dry head cleaning and can take several minutes before it is complete. When it is completed the Ink light will no longer be on or blinking, only the green power light will be lit up.
- After the dry head cleaning is complete, you want to install the Epson L1800 driver.
DRIVER INSTALLATION
The driver needed for you printer is the “Epson L1800”.
The following link will automatically start the download: https://download.epson-europe.com/pub/download/3786/epson378692eu.exe
Once downloaded, launch it. Your computer will ask if you accept changes to be made by the driver, select “Yes”.
A Printer Utility Setup window will appear with a checkbox to set your new printer as the default, you want to make sure that box is unchecked before pressing “OK”.
Once the WinZip Self-Extractor window appears, click “Setup”
Next, the Epson Printer Utility Setup window will appear. Uncheck the boxes next to “Set as default printer” and “Automatically updates software”. You do not want to accept any updates that come directly from Epson as it can cause software issues due to the updates not accounting for DTF functions, any future updates from Epson must be declined.
The next window to appear will ask what language you would like to set, once the desired language is selected click “OK” to continue to the next window.
One of the last windows that will appear is for the Epson software license agreement. Select “Agree” then click “OK”. From here you will be presented with a small window saying the driver has correctly completed its setup.
Now that the driver for the printer has been successfully installed, you may go on to complete the setup of your printer!
INK INSTALLATION
The steps below will walk you through the process of filling all the ink for your new printer. You will need: one bottle of cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white ink. It is recommended you use the syringes and the tube tips to fill the ink tanks; keep in mind you will need one syringe with a tip for each color to avoid ink contamination.
- Gently remove the ink tank compartment that is hooked to the right-hand side of the printer, it must remain standing up-right at all times. Tilting or laying the tank compartment down can result in damage to the lines due to strain or leaks.
- Each ink tank has a plug that indicates the color that belongs in each respective tank. Shake each bottle of ink very well before filling the tanks. The order in which you choose to fill the ink tanks does not matter, just be sure to only have one large rubber plug open at a time to avoid ink contamination; the small plugs will remain closed when filling the inks. When you have completed filling an ink tank, securely plug it closed before continuing to the next color. Each ink tank should be filled at least 50%, ink levels can be observed from the side that faces away from the printer when hooked on.
- Once all ink tanks have been filled, check to confirm that all large rubber plugs have been securely closed. With all the large plugs closed, you can now open all of the small plugs. These small plugs are called breather holes, they allow for the ink the flow through the system.
- Now that all of the ink tanks are filled and the breather holes are open, the power adapter can be plugged into the port on the rear of the tank compartment and a known good power source. This will power the white ink stirring mechanism and the white in circulation system.
* Note: While printing, press and hold the silver button located on top of the tank compartment for 5-10 seconds every 20-30 minutes to circulate the white ink. - Before charging any ink through the lines to the printhead, make sure the waste bottle is correctly setup. The waste bottle is a stand-alone tank attached to the printer via a tube which comes pre-connected. Simply remove any tape and the bag the waste bottle is in and place the waste bottle standing up on the same surface as the printer. When the bottle fills to about 50%, it is recommended to empty it to avoid waste ink overflow and tube-clogs.
* Note: The waste bottle can be placed on the same surface as the printer or lower but is never to be placed higher or else the ink will not reach the bottle resulting in problems. - Download and install the WIC Reset Utility software: https://wic-reset.com/files/wicreset.zip Once installed, select your UNINET™ DTF 100 printer from the list on the left-hand side. Expand the Cleaning section to view all available options. Since this is the first time ink has been put into the printer, the ink needs to be pushed through all the lines and printhead to the waste bottle. To accomplish this, the Charge function will be used. Select the Strong option from mini dropdown list and click the button labelled “Charge”. When the charge is initiated, a green indicator, will move from the left side of the program window to the right, this is how you will tell the progress of the action being done. Once the charge is complete, press and hold the silver button located on top of the tank compartment for 5-10 seconds to ensure the white ink is circulated.
* Note: When tracking progress, the green indicator can get to the right side of the program window and start over at the left. This is normal when the Strong option of any function is selected due to the process taking a little longer.
INK CONSERVATION
WARNING!
When the inks are loaded into the printing system, the environment must always be maintained at a TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 64°F – 77°F, both when the printing system is in operation and when the printing system is turned off.
INSERTING FILM
Follow the steps below to properly insert the film into your printer.
- Verify all packing tape has been removed from the printer.
- Fully extend the black flap located on the top of the printer, it extends a maximum of three tiers.
- When placing a sheet of film into the printer, you want to ensure the print side is facing you. The print side of the film is matte, the non-print side is glossy. If you are unsure of what side is matte, simply scratch a small spot on a corner of both sides, the print side will have residue come off.
- The film is to be placed all the way to the right-hand side, there will be a stationary guide that the sheet fits into. There is another guide on the left-hand side that can be adjusted by pressing in the button and gently sliding it so that the film will remain straight when moving through the printer; you do not want to squeeze the sheet.
*Note: Only one sheet should be loaded in at a time, loading multiple sheets could result in them sticking together and damaging the printhead.
DO NOT STOP PRINTING UNLESS NEEDED
If you have an image that is already printing but need to stop it in the middle of the job, it is not recommended to disrupt the printing process. It is recommended to let the print job complete if the image or job is small. Stopping or cancelling a print job before it is complete will cause the printer to present an error which can be cleared by powering the printer off then back on using the power button.
If you choose to cancel a print and stop the printer, follow these steps:
- Power the printer off.
- Delete any jobs in the software and printer’s queue.
- Remove any media that may be stuck (if applicable to issue).
- Power the printer back up.
EMERGENCY STOP
If it is absolutely crucial that the printer needs to halt right where it is, the main power to the entire unit can be instantly cut off by removing the power cable from the printer. The power cable can be located on the right-hand back side of the unit.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Following these simple steps daily will ensure that your printer lasts longer and help you achieve optimal performance with little to any down time from your UNINET™ DTF 100 printer.
Daily to Do
Whether you will be printing for the day or not, it is important to power the machine on and perform both a head cleaning and a nozzle check to ensure all the printhead is clean and clear of any build-up or debris. It is strongly recommended to print on a daily basis, even if professional printing is not required, in order to keep the ink circulating/flowing. Otherwise, ink will stagnate, separate and possibly get dry/clog into the ink circuitry, damaging consumable parts.
There are two ways you can perform a head cleaning on the UNINET™ DTF 100:
- With the printer powered on and sitting idle, press and hold the Ink Drop button until you hear the printer begin to make sounds. This initiates a head cleaning without using any software. This can take several minutes to complete.
- Using the WIC Reset Utility software: https://wic-reset.com/files/wicreset.zip Select your UNINET™ DTF 100 printer from the list on the left-hand side. Expand the Cleaning dropdown list, this will present you with a couple different functions to perform. For this situation, select either the Medium or Normal option from the dropdown list next to Head Cleaning.
Once the printer has completed its head cleaning, it is very important to perform a nozzle check to ensure the printhead is in a healthy state. The goal is for your printhead to have little to no breaks, separations or clogs in any of the channels, if there are more than 2 breaks/separations in any channel, repeat the head cleaning and nozzle check process until sufficient results are attained. Below are examples of both a good and poor nozzle check.
Weekly to Do
After a good week of printing, it is extremely important to set a couple minutes aside to be able to perform the weekly maintenance. There are two components that need attention, one being the capping station while the other is the wiper blade. Both the capping station and wiper blade are located under where the printhead carriage sits when idle. To unlock the printhead so you can freely move it, follow the steps below.
- Power printer off.
- Open blue lid so that the printhead carriage can be observed.
- Power printer on; while doing the initialization the printhead carriage move from its home on location on the right-hand side to the left-hand side.
- When the carriage moves, quickly remove the power cable from the printer. Gently push the printhead carriage all the way to the left-hand side so that you have the most amount of workspace.
Now that the printhead carriage is moved and the necessary parts are accessible, the steps below explain how to clean them.
You will need: Clean foam swabs, Cleaning Solution (blue liquid), Capping Solution (pink liquid) and a syringe with the thin tip.
- Dip a clean swab into the blue Cleaning Solution, using this remove any ink or build-up from the outer rubber edges on the capping station.
- Next, take the syringe with the thin tip attached and add 10- 15 drops of the pink Capping Solution to the sponge in the capping station in the middle.
- To access the wiper blade, it first needs to be flipped upward. This can be done using a tool such as a flat-head screwdriver. Gently push forward on the white plastic that the rubber wiper blade is attached to, this will cause the mechanism to pop upward revealing the rubber wiper blade.
- Once popped up, using a clean foam swab and blue Cleaning Solution remove any ink or build-up from the rubber blade. After it’s clean, simply pop it downward again.
