Connect the print heads to the control unit according to the diagram above. See the
print head documentation for information on the cables necessary for connecting to
the SX-32e. Note that print head cables are not universal; specific print heads require
specific cables.
The standard Matthews warranty is void and damage can occur if any other than
Matthews print heads or cables are used.
See also "Checking Print Head Operation" on page 36.
If you are using multiple print heads, it may be a good idea to mark each
head with the number it is identified with in the display (1, 2, 3 or 4). Then it
will be easier for the user to see which head shall receive a message.
