Installation Procedure

Warning

Important: Your printer requires firmware version V1.06 or higher to work with DS4 inks. Using an older firmware version might prevent proper start up.

• Step 1: Firmware Update
  Boot the printer in "Board Manager Mode" and update the firmware using MSA 6.0.5 tool or higher.
• Step 2: Initial Configuration
  Boot the printer in "User Mode" and configure initial settings (language, IP address, etc.).
• Step 3: Printer Activation
  Activate the printer. (How to register a Mutoh printer & generate an activation code?)

Important

For 8-color mode operation: set "Diagnostics > Parameter > Update > Color > 8Color" before proceeding.

• Step 4: System Reboot

• Step 5: Ink Charge Initialization
  The printer will request confirmation to start the Ink Charge process.
  

• Step 6: Wash Retry Prompt
  If the display shows "Wash Retry?" → Select No
  

• Step 7: Ink Installation
  Insert the DS4 ink packs into the ink cases, install them in the printer. Refer to the Start-up guide for detailed instructions on proper ink pack loading procedures.
• Step 8: Automatic Ink Charging
  The "Ink Charge" process will initiate automatically.
  

• Step 9: Process Completion
  Upon successful ink loading, the completion message will appear (ink charging cycle is complete).
  

Important

The correct flushing pad for DS4 inks is IJ-FLABS-01, supplied in boxes of 3 pieces. MEN has already completed this upgrade during the conversion to XPJ-1682SR-DSP by replacing the previous solvent flushing pad with IJ-FLABS-01 and ensuring the box contains the appropriate pad type.
