Overview
Read the manual carefully before your operation
This machine is designed specifically for digital printing.
To use the machine most effectively, please master this operation manual.
Keep this manual in your work area for convenience.
Avoid installing this machine where ground is not leveled or wet, nor under direct
sunlight.
Follow the manual strictly. Do not perform any alteration, which may cause damage to
the machine.
Shut down the power supply when repair or maintenance is performed.
Do not remove the warning signs from the machine. If the warning signs are damaged,
please replace them.
Strictly speaking, we should call Air Switch on the machine as Power Leakage
Protector which protects the machine from being damaged. It is not suggested to be
used to switch on/off the machine. Otherwise, it may shorten this protector s lifespan. If
user needs to cut off the power to the machine, a breaker to the machine should be
used.
To avoid damage to the LCD caused by sudden power failure, all machines are equipped
with a UPS to supply power to computer monitor. Please switch off the machine in the
case of sudden power-off. (Before the operation of UPS power supply, please carefully
read its operation manual).
Power Leakage Protector should be tested every six (6) month by pressing the button T
(Test) to check if it functions properly.
This machine has been fully tested in the factory. Please note the points below:
Do not use a fuse that is not within appointed standard.
Do not alter any electrical system.
Do not use any replacement parts that are not designed for this machine.
Note that the wire should not be too tight when connecting to an outlet.
Do not install wires in a cluttered space.
Clean it immediately when chemical is splashed onto the machine.
Abbreviations for processing solutions
The names of the processing solution in this manual are indicated as below. Some of
types of processing solutions may have other names.
Processing solutions Abbreviations

Chapter 1 Caution
1.1 For safe operation
General precautions
Prior to any part replacement or mechanical adjustment, be sure the air brake is
switched off.
Note:
Ground wires (green and yellow) are connected to the covers and units of the
machine. For reassembly, be sure to connect the ground wires as they were.
Be sure to perform an operation check after replacing or adjusting any parts (or
units).
Precaution against electric shock
If any case you have to take care of wiring for the power such as moving the
machine, ask a qualified professional electrician to do so. Do not forget to
ground the machine.
Pay attention to avoid shocks when performing troubleshooting, wiring checking,
or voltage/current measurement.
When replacing a fuse or PCB, be sure to switch off the air brake.
Precaution for operating rotary section
Be careful with your hands, hair, clothes, etc., not to be caught under the gear,
chain, belt, roller, fan and other rotating parts.
Do not remove the cover unless it is specified.
If your hand or the like is caught and you can not move, ask someone around
you to turn off the air brake at once.
1.2 Countermeasure for static electricity when
replacing and maintaining the electrical parts
If an electronically charged human body touches electronic parts like PCBs, it may
adversely affect the electronic parts.
When handling the electronic parts, be sure to use static-dissipative conductive gloves to
prevent the components on the PCB from being damaged due to static electricity.
Chapter 1 Caution
3
The static-dissipative conductive gloves are included in the spare parts of your machine.
Note: When using the static-dissipative conductive gloves, be sure to turn off the air
brake and wait 15 seconds to carry out operation.
1.3 Handling chemicals
The work with the machine involves the handling of slightly poisonous, irritating and
etching substances, to apart from these; the user must ensure sufficient aeration. The air
in industrial workrooms should be exchanged at least 8 to 10 times per hour.
All photographic developers contain substances which may irritate the skin, the mucous
membrane and the eyes and which may cause allergic skin reactions affecting very
sensitive persons. For this reason, avoid long or repeated skin contact, especially with
developer solutions.
For all jobs where photographic processing solutions may splash, e.g. preparing and
filling in chemical solutions, cleaning processing racks etc.:
Wear protective gloves; rinse all solutions that get on the skin with plenty of
running water.
Wear industrial glasses.
Wash with soap and rinse with lots of water after completion of work.
Store chemicals and processing solutions in a safe place.
If a processing solution has been ingested accidentally, immediately rinse mouth with
water, and drink 2 or more cups of water and induce vomiting. Contact a physician as
soon as possible, and follow physician s instructions.
If processing solution gets into eyes, immediately rinse them under running water for at
least 15 minutes, and then contact a physician.
Processing solution stains on your clothing may result in discoloration or fading, when
handling processing solutions, wear clothing for work wear.
Photochemical are not allowed to be drained off into the public sewage system! Please
obtain the information about the regulations in force about the handling and correct
disposal of chemistry from the country s authorities in charge.
1.4 Storage
The chemicals should be stored and prepared according to the manufacture s
information and advice.
All Color papers must always be stored in a cool and dry place.
The best storage temperature is between 2 and 10 .
Chapter 1 Caution
4
Opened packages have to be stored at a relative humidity of 20-60%.
Storage at 20 over several days is possible without problems.
Storage temperatures above 30 should be avoided because that will cause paper
visible alterations after only a few days.

Power supply should be 220V-230V, 50/60Hz, 30A Other electric voltage for
exporting to different countries should be made to order . Surge protector should be
used.
Good ground connector is a must. Power socket should be near the machine.
Caution Power must be cut off when connecting or disconnecting the connectors on
PCB.
2.2 Start machine for the first time
When the above requirements are met, unpack the machine, install the bottom screws
and washers, and then level the machine on the floor. Remove all anti-shock stuffing,
check if machine is in good condition. Screw each tank s drainage valve tightly and add
water in a sequence of STB3, STB2, STB1, BF and CD. Check for leakage.

Note:
After the paper magazine is placed in the machine, the screen of IbnLab0.2.0 will show
the accordant paper magazine code. If no information on the screen, then no paper has
been loaded in the machine correctly. In such case, pull out the holder and reload it into
the machine. The machine will automatically roll the paper into cutter-device.
When paper is used up, the display for paper length will show 0 on the control board
screen that means you need to change a new roll of paper.
Hold the handle on the paper magazine and lift when unloading paper. If you want to
change to a new paper format but there is still paper remaining, you need to rewind the
current paper from the paper outlet first, and then hold the handle and lift the paper
magazine.
Warning:
When small format paper in the paper magazine is used up, however the current printing
job is not finished, you need to replenish the paper magazine with small format paper
and finish the remaining order. Do not switch to a paper magazine loaded with large
format paper, which action can cause paper jam.
