(2) Place the foam and press it down with your hand so that it lies flat against the bottom.
💡It is recommended to wear gloves for placing or removing the foam.
(3) Install the ink pad and ensure that the two arrows are aligned.
Do not install the ink pad upside down.
(4) Press down on the cover and turn it clockwise 45° to lock it in place. Install the other foam in the same way.

💡Note: When placing the holder, mind your hands and make sure that the fasteners on both sides of the holder are secured properly.
(4) Press down the locking bar.
3. Feed film into the printer
💡Note: Remove the sticker from the roll before feeding the film.
(1) Feed the film into the printer through the feeding slot.
(2) Pull the film from under the pinch rollers.
Ensure that the film covers the starting position of the processing area and aligns with the white marking line on the right.
(3) Adjust the guide plates on both sides to cover the film.
💡Move the film until its side edges are in the center of the guide plate holes, as illustrated in the following figure. Note that the distance between the guide plate and the film should not be too close or too far. Otherwise, it may cause problems such as film bulging.
(4) Press down the pinch roller switch and close the lid.

5. Install the humidity module
(1) Open the left-side panel of the printer.
(2) Insert the humidity module horizontally into the printer, ensuring that the air outlet and air inlet of the module face the inside of the printer. Push it inward until the humidity module fits snugly against the inside of the printer and cannot be pushed any further.
Ensure that the recessed hole at the bottom left corner of the humidity module aligns with the protruding screw on the left side of the printer's installation area, and snaps securely onto the screw.
6. Prepare and fill the water tank
(1) Toggle the water tank release slider to the left, and the water tank will pop out automatically.
(2) Unplug the silicone plug on the side of the water tank and fill the tank with water. Once filled, insert the silicone plug back tightly.
Always use clean tap water
■ If local tap water tends to produce white scale deposits, it is recommended to use treated or softened water.
■ Do not use purified water or distilled water, as this may affect the humidity module's mist output.
■ Water with high levels of impurities or scale can clog the atomizer components and reduce humidification performance.
(3) Insert the water tank horizontally and push it into the humidity module slowly and steadily to prevent liquid from splashing out. A "click" sound indicates that it is installed in place.
■ Do not tilt the water tank during insertion or when pushing it in to prevent liquid spills that may cause electric shock or device short circuits.
■ If any water droplets are present on the tank surface, wipe them dry before installation.
Daily water refilling: During normal use, it is not necessary to remove the entire module. Remove and refill the water tank.
7. Connect the humidity module and the printer
(1) Connect the other end of the connection cable to the port of the humidity module.
(2) Close the left-side panel of the printer.
8. Install the output tray
(1) Unfold the output tray.
💡Note: When you use the shaker oven, it is necessary to open the two stands under the output tray.
