1. Plug in electrical cord to 110 v. outlet. Do not hook-up pneumatic line at this time. Required: place the screen on the screen arms & tighten down.

2. Select the cup mandrel and determine the proper tooth gear by using calipers to measure the diameter at the center of the cup where the artwork is to be applied on the sidewall in inches with decimal equivalent for fractions of an inch & multiply that number by 20 to obtain the number of teeth.

Example: a 2.54" diameter x 20=50.80" = a 51 tooth gear. If fraction is 0.5 or less, round down to next whole number for gear.

3. Raise the adjustable gear rack to the highest position and adjust the tilt of mandrel with cup so that the front & rear of the cup is the same distance from the screen. The turnbuckle on the vertical lift air cylinder can be adjusted to raise or lower the screen. The gear rack can now be lowered to drive the gear.

4. Manually move the screen/arms to the furthest left & right positions and tighten the aluminum locks. Do not in any circumstance loosen or move the black steel split collars - damage will occur if moved out further if printer is cycled.The hydraulic shock dampeners must be fully compressed and then use the Allen wrench to loosen & lightly tighten the electrical sensors in each end of the horizontal air cylinder- adjust the position from outside to inside until the yellow light appears on each sensor.

5. Attach the pneumatic line to the printer and turn the control switch to "no eye" position and verify that the correct stroke length has been achieved. The first color pass or one color jobs can be run on this mode.

6. Preposition cup on mandrel so that the first color on the cup is 2"-3" to the left of the blue spot (the distance of the eye from the cup must be set so the cup cannot hit or disturb when the printer places the cup on the mandrel). The eye should be spaced ¾"-1" from the cup & it should be focused so that you see small blue dots on the cup.

7. Place printer control in jog mode and depress jog button until artwork on the screen is over the artwork on the cup to be registered to. While looking down through the screen (drop-light helps), manually rotate & position the artwork on the cup so that it registers with the artwork on the screen. Continue in jog mode until the screen is positioned to the far left and stop just after the screen moves to the down position.

8. To set up for the second color etc:

a) Leave the printer in the jog mode and manually move the eye until the blue dot is inside the artwork to be registered.

b) Set laser eye control to teach and depress teach button.

c) Move the eye control to adjust for 5 seconds.

d) Move control to run.

9. Next, use the jog button to go to home position which is when the screen is up and to the far right. Turn position switch to "run with eye" and position cup 2"-3" to the right of the eye and depress foot pedal.

10. If printing cycle is interrupted by either depressing the emergency stop or by moving the position switch from "with eye" or to "run without eye" mode, the printer will always return to "home" position (the screen will always stop at the far right and up position).

11. Print the second color (third, fourth, etc.) and adjust the eye for micro-adjusting the registration. Each time the laser eye is moved, you will have to go through the "teach" steps in order for the eye to register the art correctly. Please refer to the Omron operation manual for the laser eye for complete and thorough technical instructions.
