� Ensure that there is enough ink in the main ink bottle and conduct inspection of the machine
before starting.
� Start the inkjet printer. You can either reset the machine or not reset the machine by pressing
motor power button and cutting off motor power line.
� After the inkjet printer starts, ink pumps of various colors will set to work and pump ink
from the main ink bottle to the auxiliary ink tank.
� When all the ink pumps stop working, it means all the auxiliary ink tanks have been injected
with ink.
� The transient buzzer sound during the process may be resulted from rather long ink pump
route and timeout.
LIYU PZR-KV-1 Series High Speed
. LIYU-PZR-KV-1-Series Manual www.liyu-dms.com - 55 -
� In the event of ink pump not working or prolonged alarming of buzzer, please switch off
the machine in time and examine. In case of failure to settle the problem, please contact the
local dealer or after-sales department of our company immediately.
� Inject ink into the print head
Since it is a very important operation to inject ink into the print head, please operate in
strict accordance with requirements. There are two critical operations, namely print head
cleaning and venting.
� Print head cleaning:
The new print head must be purged with cleaning fluid before being injected with ink
for the first time because protective liquid has been injected into the nozzle of print
head. You must wash off the protective liquid before injecting ink. Otherwise, the
printing quality of print head will decline. Cleaning method of new print head:
a Properly connect all the wires of the machine (including print head wire), start
the machine and press high voltage button of the print head.
b In view of the power of cleaning fluid pump, it is suggested that you clean a
single print head every time. First, put the three-way valve of single print head
at purging state with other print head valves off, then unscrew corresponding
two-way valve, press purging button and make the cleaning fluid flow out from
two-way valve, clean the pipelines of this part. About one or two seconds later,
tighten two-way valve and make the cleaning fluid cascade out from nozzle for
about five seconds. clean other print heads according to the above method. c
Five minutes later, clean all the print heads again as per the above method.
d Wait for five minutes and clean them once again.
� Venting of print head:
Inject ink into the print head after cleaning print head. Venting operation shall be conducted
together with ink injection with the specific operation process as follows:
1. It is also suggested that you conduct venting for every single print head, that is
to say, venting operation is conducted for only one print head every time with
valve body of other print heads off.
2. First of all, put the corresponding three-way valve in working state.
3. Unscrew the corresponding two-way valve core to ensure smooth ink outlet.
Press positive pressure button and impress ink from the auxiliary ink tank into
the print head, then ink will flow out from two-way valve core. Observe the ink
tube of ink outlet until there is no bubble in the ink tube, then tighten two-way
valve and make ink flow out from the nozzle. (Tips: it may takes long to impress
ink for the first time with such long pipelines, moreover, there is no sufficient
ink in the auxiliary ink tank, please hold on for a while after positive pressure so
as to enable ink supply system to refill the auxiliary ink tank and then continue
positive pressure).
LIYU PZR-KV-1 Series High Speed
. LIYU-PZR-KV-1-Series Manual www.liyu-dms.com - 56 -
4. Carry out the above operation for every print head in succession. Place all three-
way valves in working state after completing venting for all print heads. Press
positive pressure button and impress ink for all print heads again, then complete
ink injection of print heads.
5. Meanwhile, in case of bubble found in ink tube leading to print head, which
affects ink out of the print head, the above method can also be adopted to carry
out venting operation.
� Positive pressure ink
Positive pressure ink refers to impressing ink of the auxiliary ink tank into the print head by
pressing positive pressure button to eliminate the air in the nozzle and flush through the nozzle
blocked not so seriously, as well as solve some common problems of printing disconnection.
You can impose positive pressure to either a single print head or several or all print heads with the
specific operation steps as follows:
� Stop the ink carriage at the cleaning position, namely the far left of the machine, and ensure
that the liquid receiver tank has been put in place under the bottom plate of print head.
� Turn the three-way valve of the print head demanding ink to working state, with other valves
off.
� Press positive pressure button and hold for a while, observe the ink out status of print head
and release positive pressure button when you feel ink flowing smoothly.
� Wait for two seconds and wipe the nozzle surface with clean non-woven fabrics.
� Negative Pressure Adjustment
Since negative pressure is an important factor for guarantying print quality, the operation of its
adjustment is crucial. The target of adjustment is to make ink form meniscus in every nozzle
printer. As long as sound meniscus is maintained, we can assure that ink droplets are ejected at
a high speed with few flight drops. Vacuum negative pressure system is applied to this printer.
The adjustment of negative pressure is as follows.
� Vacuum Negative Pressure Adjustment
The intensity of vacuum negative pressure can be adjusted by the vacuum pressure gauge.
Panasonic DP - 101 vacuum pressure gauge is selected to control negative pressure for this
printer. The vacuum pressure gauge is operated on the right button panel. The following picture
demonstrates the negative pressure system.
For detail settings, please refer to appendix 1.

1 Vacuum pressure system To provide steady negative pressure for print head in accordance with the settings of the
vacuum pressure gauge.
2 Positive Pressure gauge To maintain pressure within the setting range when ink is pressed with positive pressure.
1. Calculation of the setting value of negative pressure gauge:
In total, two values are required to be set on the negative pressure gauge, namely,
P_1,P_2,whose unit is Kpa. Among them, p_2 = P_1 - 0.2 . For instance, P_1is set
to be -1.6;-1.6 - 0.2= -1.8;the setting value of p_2 should be -1.8 and the final
negative pressure value lies between P_1 and p_2.
2. Operation to change the setting values of negative pressure gauge:
a: Press “MODE” button to enter the setting state-the minor screen will show Lo_1
for one time-then the value of Lo_1will be displayed- adjust its value through ▲or

� Daily Maintenance Instructions
1. Keep the working environment of the printer clean and ventilated, and clean dust and
ink on the printer periodically.
2. Keep the work surface clean. Every time before starting it up, check whether the
working board is cleaned, to avoid scatching the print head.
3. Inject lithium base greases into the slider by grease gun every forty hours operation, to
reduce its frictional resistance against the guide rail and extend its service life.
4. Maintain an appropriate belt tightening of the ink carriage timing belt, which can be
adjusted after removing the upper left end cap. After the adjustment, connecting screws
must be fixed tightly.
5. Every time after finishing refilling ink, make sure the cover of the main ink tank is
screwed tightly. Wipe off residual ink on the tank.
6. For positive pressure printing, after wiping the printhead, flash spray for around 20
seconds first before printing pictures, to achieve sound meniscus formed by ink droplets
in the nozzle.
7. During the interval of printing pictures, printer please keep the print head under the
state of flash spray, in order to guarantee a smooth nozzle.
8. The area around the orifice must be maintained clean,. No residual ink, dust or fiber is
allowed. Orifice shall not be scratched.
9. Since the ink and the cleaning fluid contain strong solvent, they mustn’t contact
electrical components and wires. Were ink or cleaning fluid spilled on them accidently,
they would be wiped off cleanly as soon as possible.
10. Clear liquid waste in the liquid waste box in time.
11. When the suck-back phenomenon occurs to the printer and ink appears in the air tube
of the minor ink cartridge, the printer should be stopped immediately to discharge the
ink from the air tube and the waste liquid tank (safety bottle) and replace the air tube
with a new one.
12. Every day before the startup and shutdown, it is recommended to print nozzle test chart
to check whether the nozzle is in normal condition. Provided that ink outflows brokenly,
press the ink or clean the nozzle to make it work properly.

by KONICA. Do not change the ink at will, or it might lead to malfunction of print head.
2. When the device stops running, maintenance methods of different sorts should be
adopted in accordance with the length of downtime:
� If printer downtime is within a working day and you are not willing to turn it off, it
should be set under the state of flash spray. Before the flash work, please confirm the
status of print head. If it is not in a good condition, do the ink press operation first.
� If the downtime is over 12 hours to a whole day, it is recommended that the valve
knob be screwed to the closed state, the ink carriage be stopped within the upper left
case, power be switched off, a layer of non-woven fabrics be embedded into the wet
protection tray, a small amount of cleaning liquid be injected into the wet protection
tray (non-woven fabrics should be drenched), and then the print head can be
moisturized with the wet protection tray, during which operation make sure that the
whole nozzle surface is in touch with cleaning liquid.
� If the downtime is within two days, the maintenance operations are the same as the
previous one. Meanwhile, non-woven fabrics in the wet protection tray should be
replaced every day, and new cleaning liquid should be injected into it (Cleaning liquid
needs to be changed, because components of moisturizing function within it are easy
to volatilize).
� If the downtime is over three days, clean up the ink within the print head following its
cleaning method, inject a little cleaning liquid into it (Leave some cleaning liquid in
the print head when doing the cleaning.)Meanwhile, moisturize the nozzle surface
with the wet protection tray according to method 2. In addition, replace non-woven
fabrics in the wet protection tray every three days and inject new cleaning liquid into
it.
3. Scrubbing the nozzle panel
� Every time when pressing ink with positive press or after cleaning the print head,
scrub the nozzle panel. Wipe away residual ink and cleaning liquid on the nozzle
panel, to prevent it droping onto the printer or print media.
� When scrubbing the nozzle panel, dedicated non-woven fabrics should be used, and
make sure of its cleanness. Non-woven fabrics contaminated by dust, stain or water,
especially the one which has been used to scrub ink, should not be used to wipe the
nozzle panel, as ink on it can lead to a seriously blocked nozzle.
� Scrub the nozzle panel along a single direction rather than back and forth. Do not
scrub it with great strength, but touch it lightly, to avoid damage of nozzle surface.
� Dispose the used non-woven fabrics properly. Do not reuse it.
4.
� To guarantee print quality, please make sure every nozzle on the print head is in good
condition, whose condition can be improved by pressing ink with positive Negative

pressure or doing the cleaning. The following items are very important to guarantee
the nozzle condition.
� The requirement of printer’s working environment shall be maintained well,
especially the temperature. The print head temperature shall be between 150C and
300C.Print quality may be affected if the temperature is below 150C or above 300C.
� Make sure the print head exhaust completely, and no bubble remains in it.
� Adjust voltage and negative pressure of print head. A higher print head voltage can
improve the accuracy and color saturation of ink droplets, but it can cause the ink
outflow to be frequently broken as well.
� Ink Use Guidelines
1. Safety instructions:
Some chemical substances contained in ink are of very low toxicity and irritation, which
will irritate eyes and respiratory system and cause allergic reaction. Contact with ink can
be effectively reduced with sound ventilating device and personal protective devices. When
dealing with ink, acrylic gloves and work clothes should be worn. If ink spills onto the
skin, it should be washed immediately with soap-suds. Eating, drinking and smoking are
forbidden in the workspace.
2. Storage of ink:
Ink should be stored in sealed containers and placed in a cool, dry place with good ventilation
no long-period exposure to light (including indoor sunlight, illumination light, etc ) and with
temperature of 10 ~ 40 . Although ink has a storage duration of 24 months, it
recommended to use it up within 12 months. Pay attention to the production date. Out-of-date
ink cannot be used.
Appendix I: Detailed Setting of Vacuum pressure gauge
Panasonic DP-101 digital Negative pressure switch is specially designed to inspect
and control vacuum, whose range is -100~-100KPa. 4-core interface is applied to
the control signal line and negative pressure gauge, which is completely compatible
with ink plate as well as SMC ZSE 30A. DP-101 Pressure gauge has two display
screens, among which the main display shows real-time value, while the minor
screen shows the setting value.
( A ) Calibration of reference pressure of the pressure gauge ( When setting parameters for the
first time, the method below must be followed) .

The calibration of its reference pressure has already been completed when ex-factory, i.e. standard
atmospheric pressure is set as the datum zero. Normally, calibration is not required.
When reference pressure changes due to some unpredictable factors, pressure calibration is required.
Otherwise, the displayed Negative pressure would deviate from actual pressure.
Calibrating method: 1. Disassemble the air tube behind the pressure gauge,
2. Energize the pressure gauge, and some value will be shown on its screen.
3. Press both ▲and▼ buttons for over 2 seconds at the same time, and the
main display will show the value 0.0.
Calibration of reference pressure has been completed.
( B) Working mode
The negative pressure gauge always display “RUN Mode”, while “Menu Setting Mode” is used
for basic setting, and “PRO Mode” is used for advanced functionalities, .
Under “RUN Mode”, reference values can be adjusted, locked and so on. Under “Menu Setting
Mode”, basic settings, such as setting the output mode and switching between NO and NC, can
be operated. Under “PRO Mode”, advanced functionalities like Hysteresis adjustment and copy
function, can be set.
During the normal operation of “RUN Mode”, by pressing “MODE” button, the mode
