After mechanical frame been assembled, a testing procedure must be done. It is very

import to get whole system works properly.

Then, slowly drag the printer forward along the moving rack for about 120mm until the

printer ‘s paper feeding roller (see photo below) touch the back end of the object tray.

Then, moving printhead by hand across the object try (if printhead gets locked , push

printhead into deeper and try rolling the paper feeding roller to release the lock, then try

to pull out printhead again ) . The printhead should not touch to object tray and

should still above the flange of object tray for 1-2 mm.

roller is on above of the middle section of object tray. Then , place done the printer to get

printer pulley wheel seats on the rack’edge. Then, look underneath of the printer, the

object leg should attach to the flange of the object tray. If you try to move printer back-

forward, a clicking sound should able to heard (means the object sensor is working
