Revised 3/30/2010 3.3
Initial Priming
When installing the mounting medium bottle for the
first time or when introducing a new type of mounting
medium, the dispense tubing must be flushed out. A
series of operations performed for these purposes is
called “initial priming.”
In initial priming, mounting medium is pulled out
continuously from the mounting medium bottle and
dispensed continuously from the tip of the dispensing
nozzle.
To install mounting medium for the first time or
change the type of mounting medium, also refer to
“Installing/Replacing the Mounting Medium Bottle.”
NOTE: This menu item is available only when the system
is on standby or paused or when the system check screen
is displayed.
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Press the < and > keys to highlight 2, “EXTENDED
PRIME,” and then press the ENTER key (Figure 3-E).
3. The extended prime screen appears (Figure 3-F)
4. Open the loading station access door.
5. Open the cover and take out the entire dispensing
tray from the system. Remove the entire dispensing
tray and set the waste tray for initial priming at a
position below the dispensing nozzle.
6. Remove the lid of the waste bottle, and while lifting
the dispensing nozzle, place the anti-drying bottle
below the dispensing nozzle (on the two guide rails).
7. Fill the priming bottle with solvent (normally xylene),
then insert the tip of the tube into the introduction tube
(Figure 3-G). Squeeze bottle to introduce solvent into
dispensing channel. Fill channel until solvent drips
out of the dispensing nozzle.
8. When initial prime has been completed, usually all of
the solvent has been removed from the dispensing
channel and mounting medium has been introduced.
If not, run initial prime one more time.

CAUTION: If the system has not been used for an
extended period of time, the solvent may not be
dispensed evenly when this operation is performed.
In this case, the solvent must be forcibly introduced
to the priming tubing using a pump bottle for initial
priming. For details, contact the Sakura Customer
Service Center the Sakura local distributor.
