Keep the orange protective sticker on the other side of the print display for now!
⬢Make sure the cable from the display is not bent or pinched before you tighten up the screws. The cable can be damaged easily by improper handling. Keep an eye on it.
⬢Carefully insert the display assembly into the printer, as seen in the picture. Make sure the cable is ON THE LEFT side under the black tilt frame and moving freely.
⬢Carefully align the display with the tilt frame underneath. Use the M4x14b countersunk screws to fix it back in position.
⬢Now, tighten all 4 screws gradually in a cross-pattern using a reasonable force.

⬢Align the cable into the connector so that the "tooth" on each side of the cable fits into the shaped slot.
⬢Close the safety latch using your finger.
⬢Verify that the white line on the display cable is slightly above the safety latch, and it's parallel to the connector body.

⬢プリンターのプラグを差し込み、電源を入れます。
⬢On the touchscreen navigate to Menu -> Settings -> Calibration -> Display test and follow the instructions on the display.
Don't open the lid under any circumstances, keep it closed! There is a UV light inside, which will cause damage to your eyes.
⬢Look from the front side into the printer. Your eye level needs to be slightly above. Otherwise, you won't be able to judge the result correctly.
⬢Check the entire screen, you must be able to see the details of our company logo across the whole screen. No parts (letters) should be missing.
Tip: If you can't see the logo clearly, try placing a sheet of paper onto the screen. We recommend format A5 with a density 80g/m².
Don't forget to CLOSE THE COVER after inserting the sheet!
