CADJET®3D Quick Start Guide

Quick Start

Congratulations on your purchase of an ENCAD CADJET 3D wide format

color printer. This guide gives you details on the following:

•unpacking and assembling the printer

•loading media

•filling ink reservoirs

•installing ink cartridges

•installing the media cutter

•testing ink cartridges

•installing software.

Unpacking your printer

Your printer is shipped in two boxes.

Box 1 contains the printer and accessory box (which contains CDs, Quick

Start Guide, screws, screwdriver, cartridges, loupe, cutters, inks, print server,

power cord and roll guides).

Box 2 contains the stand, basket and ink primer.

You will need to provide an IEEE 1284 parallel cable for connecting to a PC

parallel port locally or an RJ45 crossover cable to connect the print server on a

network.

Assembling the printer stand

1Locate the box containing the printer and turn it upside down.

Open the box and remove the plastic bag from around the printer.

Then, remove the accessory box which contains the screws and

screwdriver to use for the following steps.

2Open the box containing the stand and remove the stand from the

box. Remove the packing material from the legs.

3Note that each foot has two casters, only one of which locks.

Lock the casters to prevent the stand from rolling during

subsequent assembly.

4Orient the stand legs so that they align with the holes in the bottom of

the printer head. Attach both stand legs to the printer head using the

screwdriver and eight screws contained in the accessory box.

5Two persons are required to lift the printer. Remove the assembled

printer and stand from the box. Save the boxes and packing

materials in case you need to ship the printer.

6Attach the basket to the legs using the screws and thumbscrews

provided. Use the two thumbscrews on the front portion of the

basket. When the basket is not in use, you can loosen the

thumbscrews and move the basket up out of the way. Tighten the

thumbscrews to secure the basket out of the media path.

7Attach the left and right roll guides to the back of the printer as

shown below. Turn the thumbscrew (blue knob) to secure them in

position.

Removing protective shipping material

CAUTION: Before turning on the printer, make sure to remove the protective

material that secures the carriage. Remove the protective film from the control

panel and remove the tape from the ink reservoir cover. Do not remove black

tape affixed to left and right sides of the carriage assembly. Remove the tie wrap

that secures the cartridge carriage.

Connecting power and your computer

An IEEE 1284 parallel cable is required to connect the printer directly to your PC

computer. For network configuration, refer to the section on Network Consid-

erations later in this guide. For serial cable configuration and setting serial

communications options, refer to Appendix B in the User Guide on your System

CD-ROM.

1Plug the power cord into the power inlet at the rear of printer.

2Plug the printer cable into the connector at the rear of the printer. For

connecting to a PC, use an IEEE 1284 parallel cable.

3To turn on the printer, turn the power switch on at the rear of the

printer. The control panel will display the printer's model name, the

firmware version, status and progress of the power on self-test, and

status.

CADJET®3D Quick Start Guide

Using the control panel

The control panel at the right side of the printer includes eight buttons and a

display which indicates modes and settings. An overview is provided here so that

you can load media and ink cartridges. Details on menu options are included in

the User Guide on the system CD-ROM. The menu tree in Appendix C of the

User Guide also gives you a summary of all the printer modes and their func-

tions.

Two types of menus are displayed: action menus provide a list of additional

menus or immediate tasks to perform, such as Cut, Load Media, etc. Selection

menus let you view and modify values.

Choosing menu functions

To select a function, press the button adjacent to the function displayed.

The display will list options available for the selected function. Press the button

for the option you want and press OK to accept the selection.

Depending on the type of menu, you can return to the previous menu level by

pressing the OK or Exit button. There is no way to immediately return to the top

level menu.

Press the Cancel button to restore the previous setting and exit the menu.

Refer to the User Guide on the System CD for a description of all the menu

features.

CADJET®3D Quick Start Guide

Setting the language

With the appropriate firmware version, your printer can display menu items and

messages in English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese,

Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or Korean.

➪To change the language

1Press Setup Menu/User Setup Menu/Language, and select the

language you want.

2Press OK.

Loading media

You can use either roll or single sheet media. To ensure straight paper loading

and avoid skewing, be sure to hold the media parallel to the platen. Use the load

lines on the back of the platen as a guide to correctly align the media. Be sure to

load from the back only. Set the roll holders to the width of the media.

!IMPORTANT! It is very important to use only ENCAD media with your

printer. Some third party media have been found to generate electrostatic

discharge in excess of 20 KV. Emissions of this level can cause arcing.

These conditions can be temporary or permanent.

!If your roll media has wrinkled or damaged edges, cut off the damaged part

of the roll prior to loading to prevent the media from jamming in the printer.

➪To load roll media

1Mount the roll media on the back of the printer, orienting it as shown

in the following illustration. Slide the roll holders into the media core,

and tighten the thumbscrews on the roll holders to secure the roll.

2Insert the media's leading edge into the back of the printer, aligning

the paper edge with the alignment mark on the platen. The printer will

sense the presence of the media and feed it automatically.
