INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
PART 1: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
INSTALLING THE EVOLUTION II PRINTING SYSTEM
Caution should be taken while installing the EVOLUTION printing system on your
equipment. Digital Design Inc. has taken every precaution to ensure a safe and
accurate instruction set to guide the installer through the installation process.
Follow the operational guidelines in the installation procedures.
VERIFY THAT YOUR EQUIPMENT IS IN PROPER OPERATING
CONDITION.
LOCATE A CONVENIENT POSITION ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.
EVOLUTION II REQUIRES 4-1/2" OF SPACE ON THE PRODUCTION
LINE.
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
READ CAREFULLY ALL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
INSTALL THE PRINTING SYSTEM ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.
THERE IS NO EXTRA HARDWARE REQUIRED OTHER THEN
THAT SUPPLIED IN THE INSTALLATION KIT.
MOUNTING ON PRODUCTION LINE
Locate the supplied mounting template
and affix in a convenient location on the
production line. Spot and drill both
mounting holes for a 5/16” bolt. NOTE:
the user may also thread the side of the
conveyer using a 5/16” tap.
Fasten the mounting bracket to the
conveyer using the supplied mounting
hardware and ensuring that the supplied
ground strap is located securely beneath
either of the two mounting bolts, and that
conductivity to earth ground is less than 1 ohm. This ensures a proper path for
static discharge, should the need arise.
7 EVOLUTION 1 SYSTEM MANUAL Issue 1.1 20 Dec 2006
EVOLUTION II MOUNTING OPTIONS
The EVOLUTION II mounting bracket assembly C21010 has a number of
possible mounting configurations, which allows adaptability to a variety of
production equipment.
The top cross slide
bracket C20741 may be
rotated 180 deg by
loosening the included
setscrew 504JCS and
rotating the bracket. This
allows the print head to be
extended by just over 1”.
Although this is not a
significant amount it might
be helpful.
Refer to the first two
pictorials to identify the
various components of the
mounting bracket system
C21005.
Rotating the horizontal
mounting bracket C20740
may further increase
extension into the
production line. The
mounting centers for both
the base block C20741
and controller holder
C20940-4 are identical.
Remove the two 502JHS
flat head screws from the
base block and the two
502JES button head
screws, rotate the bracket
and replace both the base
block and controller
holder.
The above procedure
allows for a print head
displacement from .625”
before the production line
to 11.450” into the
production line.
8 EVOLUTION 1 SYSTEM MANUAL Issue 1.1 20 Dec 2006
Vertical height adjustment
for the EVOLUTION II print
head is accomplished by
loosening the included
hand knob 5993K41.
Note that the hand knob
may be mounted on either
side of the horizontal
mounting bracket
depending on the
orientation of the bracket.
It should also be noted
when rotating the cross
slide assembly it is
necessary to move the
smaller hand knob
57715K16 to the other
side of the bracket so it
aligns with the flat on the
horizontal extension rod.
After the mounting bracket
is configured loosen the
locking collar 7A014S and
re-locate it against the
horizontal extension
bracket and tighten. This
allows the user to loosen
the horizontal mounting
bracket-locking knob and
rotate the assembly
without losing the height
adjustment.

GROUNDING STRAP INSTALLATION
INPUT POWER CONNECTION AND MODIFICATION
Insert the power plug to the available power source. The supplied power supply
will is universal and will auto detect 100/240 VAC 50-60hZ.
No other adjustments are necessary.
INSTALL STRAP
UNDER 5/16”
SCREW. ENSURE
CONDUCTIVITY TO
EARTH GROUND IS
LESS THAN 1 OHM
10 EVOLUTION 1 SYSTEM MANUAL Issue 1.1 20 Dec 2006
INSTALLING THE PRINT CARTRIDGE
Remove the protective film from the face of the print head and retain the film.
This protective film may be re-applied to store partially used cartridges. If it is
necessary to remove the print head and store for a long period of time, it is best
to re-apply the plastic film, and place the cartridge in a closeable plastic bag.
Rotate the Print Head Release mechanism to the rear of the print head so that it
is free for insertion of the print cartridge. Push the print cartridge in and down to
insert it into the print carriage. Gently lift the locking arm and press forward
against the print cartridge. A snap will be felt as the locking mechanism presses
the cartridge into the correct position.
NOTE: EACH PRINT CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN PROFILED
AT THE FACTORY. THIS PROCEDURE DETERMINES
THE OPTIMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTECS FOR
EACH INDIVIDUAL CARTRIDGE. USING ANY OTHER
PRINT CARTRIDGE WILL HAVE UNDESIRABLE
RESULTS.
NOTE: WHEN A NEW CARTRIDGE IS INSTALLED,
BOTH THE RED AND GREEN LIGHT WILL FLASH
TWICE INDICATING A CORRECT INSTALLATION.
THE USER MUST REMEMBER TO RESET THE INK
LEVEL UNDER THE F4 FUNCTION KEY MENU.
