Step 1 : Start the self-diagnostic function.
Notes :
¾ Refer to “Self-Diagnosis Function”
Step 2 : Select "Adj:HeadSlant".
Step 3 : Print "Slant" pattern.

If dotted lines on pattern CW and CCW are not a straight line, which you can check with a
magnifying glass (enlargement of at least 10), please go to step 4.
Notes :
When the printing pattern is printed, you will only see lines, and no notifications of ink

Step 5 : Make adjustments until amount of CW and CCW offset are identical.
Notes :
¾ In theory, the alignment of CW and CCW should be identical. But in practice, it is

almost impossible to become a perfect alignment. When there is a slight difference
between CW and CCW, be sure the heads are well seated.
¾ In case you only print uni directional, adjust the CW till it is aligned perfectly.
¾ In case you print bi-directional, and CW and CCW cannot be aligned more perfectly.
Divide the fault equally.
¾ When printing the pattern, the head identifications 1A, 1B etc, are not printed.
Analyse the pattern as shown below. Be sure to have five lines for each color.

When loading Spitfire ink cassettes with smart-chip, it is possible that you get the message “not original ink”.
If this is the case, please proceed as follow :
Step 1 : Remove the ink cassette.
Step 2 : Take a closer look at the smart-chip.
Step 3 : There are some lines on the smart-chip made by the sensors in the cartridge box.
Nr. Part
1 Cassette
2 Smart-chip
3 Lines made by the sensors in the cartridge box
Step 4 : There are three possibilities.
Situation 1: The lines are in the middle
This is the perfect situation; the one which should be obtained.
Situation 2: The lines are lying on the black lines
This is the situation when the printer will display the message. “No original ink”. The sensors do
not detect the smart chip because the sensors do not touch the copper. This problem can be
solved easily. Move the smart-chip a few millimetres above, so that the sensor lines lie in the
middle of the black lines as in situation 1.
►
184 AP-74096, Rev. 1.0, 09/06/05
Situation 3: The lines are lying a just above the black line
The sensor will sometimes give contact with the smart-ship, but not always.
So it is possible that the printer, even during printing, displays the message “No original ink”.
Again, move the smart-chip a few millimetres above, so that the sensor lines lie in the middle of
the black lines as in situation 1.
►
Step 5 : Reposition the smart-chip in case of situation 2 or 3 in function of the cartridge box and its
tolerance. Be sure to obtain the first situation, where the lines lie in between the black lines.
Caution:
All dimensions should be respected. There is only a little tolerance on the

dimensions 2.2 mm and 33.4 mm because of the tolerance on the cartridge box.

Tips
Safety relay
On the powerboard is a safety relay that will switch 220 or 110V to the solid state relays whenever the
Spitfire is powered off. This is to prevent that defective solid state relays can make the heatstrips overheat
and melt its fuses.
Buzzer:
1 small beep for each heater that reached the desired temperature.
3 short beeps when heater accepts new data coming from the Spitfire.
4 seconds beep => error.
Heater D
In case of a defective fuse on a D-heater, check for isolation on the temperature sensors. Some machines
were released without isolation patches on the temperature sensors and cause the strips to overheat.
Heater A
In earlier machines strips were mounted with a fuse with a critical, narrow margin. Please do not pass 48°C
in the menu setting. This will be solved in successive firmware releases after 1.04.
FLAT Strip
In case of a DIY replacement of a heatstrip, make sure that the strip is flatly mounted! Air gaps between strip
and plate can cause overheating and cause fire!
Firmware Bugs
Check the firmware division for these.
