Set up the printer

1.1 First use

When you first use the Linx 10, you must select the required language and set the date and time at the
end of the power-up process. The printer displays the Language screen. The screen shows a list of the
languages that are available. Use the scroll bar to view all options, and then touch the required option
to select that language.
The printer then displays the Set Date screen. The printer uses the information from the internal
clock to display the current date in the format for the selected language (for example, dd/MM/yyyy).
The first field of the current date (for example, the day) is highlighted. You can use the Scroll buttons
to move the cursor to the required field. If the displayed date is not correct:
•
Use the keypad to enter the correct day, month, or year.
•
Use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the day, month, or year.
Touch the Save button to save your changes. The printer then displays the Set Time screen.
The printer uses the information from the internal clock to display the current time in the 24-hour
format. The hour field of the current time is highlighted. You can use adjust the time (hours, minutes,
and seconds) in the same manner as the date.
NOTE: The printer does not allow you to enter an invalid date or time.
The printer then displays a screen that requests information about the environment on the
production line where the printer is installed. This information can be used by Linx Technical
Support to diagnose any printer problems. Enter the following information:
•
Wet Environment—whether the printer operates in wet conditions. Select Yes or No.
•
Humid Environment—whether the printer operates in humid conditions. Select Yes or No.
•
Dusty Environment—whether the printer operates in dusty conditions. Select Yes or No.
•
Temperature—the average temperature on the production line. Enter a value in degrees
Celsius (°C).
The printer then prompts you to select the required ink and solvent combination. The only
combination currently available for the Linx 10 is L100/B100. Touch the name of that combination to
select it. The printer then enters the 'guided setup' mode, where you can commission the printer,
create a message that can be printed on a product, and set up a production line.

1.2 Guided setup

The printer guides you through the following steps:
1
Commission the printer—this step prepares the printer for first use. Follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the commissioning process. The printer needs to be commissioned
in order to operate fully.
2
Setup a message—this step guides you through the creation of a simple message that can be
printed on a product (for example, 'Best Before 23/12/2017'). Follow the on-screen
instructions to set up the message (see 'Create, edit, and manage messages' on page 10 for
more information).
