🧭 Use Instructions

Preparation & Setup

1. Unpack and inspect the machine
    – Carefully remove the printer from its packaging. Ensure all protective films / locking pins are removed (especially around the lift arm and height sensor).
    – Place the printer on a stable, level countertop with sufficient clearance above and around (for example: at least 30 cm above for the lift arm movement).

2. Connect power and interface
    – Plug the printer into a suitable power outlet (confirm voltage compatibility).
    – Connect your computer (Windows or Mac) to the printer via USB or other supported interface. Install any driver or software if required.

3. Install the edible ink cartridge
    – Open the cartridge compartment. Remove the protective cap or film from the nozzle of the edible ink cartridge.
    – Insert the cartridge into its slot gently (do not force).
    – If the system asks for a cartridge code or serial number, input as prompted.

4. Position target items
    – Choose the item you want to print on (e.g., a coffee cup with foam, a chocolate slab, or a slice of bread).
    – Place it centrally on the print bed/under the printing head. If the object is in a cup or glass, ensure the foam surface is level and reaches near the rim so the height sensor can detect correctly.

Operation – Printing Process

1. Select or upload your design
    – On the connected computer, launch the printing software. Upload the image (photo, logo or text) you wish to print.
    – Adjust size, orientation, brightness/contrast if needed to suit the material surface.

2. Automatic height adjustment
    – Initiate the height calibration: the lift arm will raise until the height sensor detects the object’s surface and automatically stops.
    – Confirm the height reading or fine-adjust manually if your material has irregular thickness.

3. Start print job
    – Choose the print mode (for example: “Coffee – Foam”, “Bread”, “Chocolate”) or manually select material type.
    – Click the Print button. The printer will then perform the print:
     • Lift arm moves into position.
     • Print head travels across the surface and ejects edible ink with precision at 600 × 600 DPI.
     • For reference, it can print 4 cups in approximately 10 seconds under optimal conditions.

4. Completion
    – Once printing finishes, the lift arm will lower. Retrieve the item carefully.
    – Inspect the printed result: the image should appear crisp, well-aligned, and adherent to the food surface. If not, review settings or calibration.

Maintenance & Cleaning

1. Daily nozzle/print-head cleaning
    – After use (or at least once every 24 hours), wipe the print-head nozzle gently with a lint-free cloth to prevent edible-ink drying or clogging.

2. Cartridge storage
    – If a cartridge will remain installed but unused for several days, wrap the nozzle end in cling-film and place upright at room temperature to prevent drying.

3. Material-specific inspection
    – For printing on items such as chocolate or bread, ensure the surface is dry and stable—avoid printing on very soft or unstable surfaces which may shift during printing.

4. Software & driver updates
    – Periodically check the manufacturer’s website for firmware, driver or software updates for Windows /Mac compatibility and performance improvements.

Safety & Best Practices

• Always use food-grade edible ink cartridges approved for the machine and comply with local food-safety standards.

• Do not reach into the housing of the machine while it is operational (lift arm or print head may move unexpectedly).

• Ensure the print area is free of moisture, debris or loose items that may interfere with sensor operation or print quality.

• Avoid using objects larger than the machine’s maximum supported area (e.g., approx. 20 × 20 cm) to prevent misalignment or mechanical obstruction.

• In the event of recurring printing defects (e.g., streaks, missing colours, misregistration), stop operation and perform full calibration or consult troubleshooting documentation.

⚠️ Cautions and Precautions

1. Safety Precautions

• Use Only Edible Ink:
  Always use food-grade edible ink cartridges designed specifically for this printer. Non-edible or third-party inks may cause health risks and damage the printhead.

• Power Supply Safety:
  Confirm that the power supply voltage matches the machine’s rating before plugging in. Avoid using damaged power cords or loose outlets.

• Do Not Touch Moving Parts:
  Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from the printhead and lift arm while the printer is operating to prevent injury or malfunction.

• Avoid Moisture Exposure:
  Do not spill water, coffee, or any liquid on the printer. Keep the machine dry to prevent short circuits or electrical damage.

• Child Safety:
  Keep the printer and edible ink cartridges out of reach of children. The printer is not a toy.

2. Operational Precautions

• Stable Placement:
  Place the printer on a flat, stable surface to ensure accurate height detection and consistent print quality

• Height Adjustment:
  Always allow the automatic height detection system to complete its process before printing. Manual interference may damage the sensor.

• Proper Object Positioning:
  Center cups, chocolate pieces
