Combined with our unique intelligent heating solution, which offers efficient power consumption. Tension Sensor R R ear r sensor The tension sensor is uesd to maintain and adjust the tension of the printing material, besides It helps maintain print quality, facilitate powder transfer, and ensure accurate printing positioning by adjusting the tension of the printing material. After the transfer film is finished baking, it will exit the oven. The rear sensor is used to detect whether the transfer film has completed baking and emerged from the back. Powder Box Tension sensor Located beneath the take-up roller. The powder boxʼs main functions include Powder Storage, powder supply and convenient powder replacement, ensuring a continuous supply of powder and high-quality printing results.
Page 16
Before use Dual Vacuum Rollers Through dual suction from the front and back, the paper feeding accuracy is ensured during the film transportation process, allowing it to better adhere to the conveyor belt. This ensures even baking of the transfer film. Once the film is detected by the rear sensor, the front vacuum roller will stop suction but continue to transport the film, while the rear vacuum roller will maintain both suction and transport functions. Powder Shield The powder shield's function is to prevent powder from splashing. If it is opened while the machine is running, the powder shaking function will stop. Once it is closed, the powder shaking function will resume.

Maintenance Guidelines Oven cleaning Due to the large amount of glycerin in the composition of DTF white ink, it is normal for oil and water condensation to appear on the metal surface after the machine is used. In order to prevent condensation from accumulating on the machine during long-term use, please follow the maintenance instructions below. Before use Mode Main n Heat Pre e Heat Auto Powder Temp Temp Manual Heat Vacuum Feed Roll Link Dusting Shaking It is recommended to turn on the Heat functionfor 15 min before starting each work session to enhance the curing effectiveness.

Maintenance Guidelines Replace the filter regularly Replace the flter cartridge regularly according to the working condition, refer to the filter cartridge replacement guideline (as below): 1. How to replace the filter box Loosen the screws securing Pull the old filters out and nstall Open the Smoke purifer. to reveal the filters the new filters (Carbon at the bottom). 2. Replacement cycle Suggested replacement cycle Use status High frequency use 1.5 months Low frequency use 3 months If there is smoke Replace the filter immediately 3. Tips The filter element is a consumable item and needs to be replaced regularly. The filter element replacement cycle is not the quality shelf life of the product. Due to different use scenarios and frequency of use, the filter element replace- mentcycle varies. The specific use is based on the actual use. Replace the filter element in a timely manner to ensure that the smoke filter reaches the best working state.
