I. Printing software
Developed by Hosonsoft, PrintExp software is a kind of control software that works with printer. It features user-friendly
interface, simple operation and meets the needs of end users and manufacturers. It is mainly used for printer control, printer
calibration, program upgrade and update, import and export of parameters, saving of parameters to the board. In order to
enable users to quickly and comprehensively understand the printing software, get familiar with the various functional
operations, precautions and possible problems, the following is an introduction to the different kinds of printing software.
As the server IP and server port settings have been fixed, you only need to set the local IP. As shown above, enter
192.168.127.111 in the local IP address (note that the first three digits can be any number within 1-255 except for 10), click
"settings" to complete the setting, check if the network is accessible. If it still cannot connect, you can address with the
following methods:
Go to control panel → network and internet → view network status and tasks → change adapter settings → click Ethernet
or local area connection →attributes to display the following window:
Double-click the highlight bar in the above image to enter the following window:
Enter the same address in the red box above and click OK to complete. Go back to the main interface window, check the
first icon at the lower left corner of the main interface displayed in green to indicate that it is connected. If it is still red, it
means that it is not online. You can unplug the network cable and try again to see if it is online. If you still cannot connect,
check if the network cable is in good condition.
The main interface of PrintExp software mainly includes main menu function area, shortcut button function area, print list
function area, task preview image display function area, print task information function area, status bar, etc., which are
introduced in the following parts.
1. Main menu
The menu tree of the main menu is as follows:

Partially enlarge the normal and abnormal conditions of the black state diagram, as shown below:
Normal
Abnormal
The state diagram in the above picture may be blocked and needs to be cleaned until the nozzle inkjet is optimal.
The calibration chart on the right side of the figure above needs to be adjusted vertically until the vertical calibration chart is
in the correct state.
The above figure shows that the stepping is calibrated and the reference line and the tick mark are completely coincident at
0. If the stepping is not calibrated, the following situation will appear:
The above picture needs to be adjusted. Adjustment window is as shown below. Input the adjustment value, click
calculation, and reprint the calibration chart until the baseline and the print line completely coincide at 0.
The above figure shows that the horizontal distance between the print heads is normal, and when the horizontal spacing of
the print heads is not calibrated, the following picture will appear:
The above picture needs to be adjusted. The adjustment window is shown below. After inputting the adjustment value in the
position H2 in the figure below, reprint the calibration chart until the mark of 0 is pointing to 0.
The figure above shows that the longitudinal distance between the print heads is normal. All the lines in the 0-point scale
box are parallel, and the left arrow points to the 0-point scale mark. If the longitudinal distance is not calibrated, the
following picture will appear:
All the lines in the 0-point scale box are not parallel, but all the lines in the -4 scale box are parallel, so it needs to be
adjusted. Subtract 4 from the original calibration value, and then re-calibrate until all the lines in the 0-point scale box are
are parallel. The adjustment window is as follows:
The figure above shows the calibration. The uncalibrated situation is as follows:
The figure above shows the calibration. The uncalibrated situation is as follows:
