Operating Steps

Prepare Media and Ink: Ensure that the media (such as vinyl or backlit material) is correctly loaded into the automatic media feeding system. Check the ink supply system to ensure it is filled with compatible eco-solvent ink, and confirm that the ink levels are adequate for the job.

Power On the Printer: Turn on the printer and set the print parameters, including speed, resolution, and ink flow, using the control panel or the computer software connected to the printer.
