Do not plug and unplug the USB printing cable under power, so as not to damage the motherboard.

If the machine is a high-speed printer, please be sure to connect the ground wire. On the one hand, when the air is dry, we cannot ignore the static electricity problem. On the other hand, when you use some low-quality materials with vital static electricity, it may damage the safety of machine electronic components and print heads. And static electricity will also cause the ink to fly during the printing process of DTF film printing. Don’t operate the print head with power on.

6. Voltage

Since this equipment is precision printing equipment, we recommend being equipped with a brand voltage stabilizer with a power of, 2000W.

We may keep the ambient temperature at 15℃-30℃, and the humidity is 40%-55%.

8. About scraper

Regularly clean the ink pile scraper to prevent ink solidification from causing damage to the print head. Besides, note: In the white ink heat transfer printer, do not wipe in one direction. The correct way is to wipe from the middle, wipe the white part from the middle point down, and wipe the color part from the center point upward. So the color and white will not mix with the ink.

9. About the working platform

Keep the working platform free of dust, ink, and debris to prevent scratches on the print head. Besides, clean the sanitation of the ink cup aprons once a week.
