A4/A3 UV Printer Video Guide

Overview

This manual covers the essential procedures for setting up, operating, and maintaining your A3 UV printer. Whether you are starting up the printer for the first time or performing routine daily maintenance, this guide will walk you through each stage. The manual is organized into four sections for quick reference: setup and installation, operation and printing, maintenance and troubleshooting, and material-specific guides.

Each section contains embedded YouTube video player. Video durations are listed to help you plan your time.

Section 1: Setup and Installation

Unpacking the Printer

Begin by opening the plywood shipping case. Follow this procedure:

If the automatic filling method is unable to fill the printhead, use a syringe to pull the ink manually. See Video 17 below.

Setting Up the Water Tank for UV Lamp Cooling

The UV lamp requires a cooling water tank to operate safely. Set this up before running any print jobs.

Section 3: Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Power Flushing

Power flushing is required in three situations:

When unclogging the printhead

If power flushing does not successfully fill the printhead, proceed to the syringe method (Video 17).

Using the Syringe to Pull Ink

When power flushing alone is insufficient to fill the printhead, use a syringe to manually pull the ink.
