Upgrade：run PM，click [menu]—>[tool]—>[upgrade]。Find out where is upgrage pack and find out .dat file to
upgrade the system .

VSD：
VSD2，25pl, ink dot, no change.
VSD1，controllable ink dot, large 30pl，20pl，small is about 10pl
VSD3，controllable ink dot，large is 22.5pl，15pl，small is about 5.5pl
VSD4，controllable ink dot，large is 10pl，7pl，small is 3.5pl
VSD4 printing mode, ink dot is small，so suggest to use high resolution, to keep ink quantity, But VSD3 is faster，and next VSD4， VSD1，
VSD2 .
VSD and speed，choose in RIP software， In PrinterManager choose“Set as files”，to RIP while printing. But need pay attention to the
Interface, it is printport DLL, not file document.

Different resolution, different VSD, and need different ICC profile. Just if same resolution, also need special ICC to meet VSD.

5. Flash Part

FlashFreqInterval：frequency
FlashTime
FlashCycle
FlashIdleInCycle：the stop time after flash.
For example, FlashTime = 80 FlashCycle= 40 FlashIdleInCycle = 20 FlashFreqInterval = 200, total flash time is 8 second, 2 parts flash，each is 4 sencond,
The rest time is 2 second. flash frequency is 200us.

In real operation, there is damper with two ink bags to balance pressure. So holder inside damper,after cleaning ,direct open 3 way value and fill
air, because of damper holder, ink will not move to head, and ink on head surface will be sucked, maybe more cleaning, the head is worse.
Even if close input tube, just because pump is stronger, and heavy negative . But also because pump strong, the plastic tube from capping
to magnetic valve is longer, sometimes ink suction back . We suggest to close the input in tube, and stop using magnetic valve and a little long
time to wait after suction ink. For pressure inside and outside balanced.
