FlexJet Assembly

Unpacking the Printer

Carefully remove the printer from the box and place it on a flat, sta-
ble surface. This procedure requires two people. Check the packing
list to ensure that all of the accessories are present. (See the FlexJet
Quick Start Guide for more information.) Save all packing materials
and the box.

Assembling the Stand

Assemble and level the stand using the hardware included in the Ac-
cessory Kit and directions outlined in the FlexJet Quick Start Guide.

Attaching the Printer to the Stand

Attach the printer to the stand with the top bars resting in the notch-
es in the stand legs. Use the hardware as indicated in the FlexJet
Quick Start Guide.

Connect the FlexJet to the Computer: Overview

Connect the printer to your computer via serial cable (provided in the
Accessory Kit). The corresponding serial port on your computer may
be either a 9-pin or 25-pin male receptacle. If the computer has 25-pin
serial ports, a 25- to 9-pin adapter is necessary.
Once connected, select the correct port and data rate in your apparel
design software, FlexPlot and/or the Control Center. Consult the
design software manual or the dealer for further information. Infor-
mation on configuring FlexPlot and the Control Center follows in
the Operation chapter.

Installation
Caution
Do not hold the printer
chassis by the bottom
edge of the end plates
when attaching it to the stand.
Fingers and hands might get
pinched between the end plates
and stand legs. Hold the gray
metal top bars a few inches from
the end plates when handling the
head. (See Figure 1.)
Caution
Before connecting the
FlexJet to your PC, make
sure the computer and
the printer both have the power
turned off. Ioline recommends
using a surge protector power
strip for both the printer and the
computer.
