MICRON USER GUIDE
Introduction
Congratulation with your purchase of the HSAJET® MICRON. You have one of the easiest to integrate inkjet controllers
available, yet powerful features are available out of the box.
These features make the MICRON ideal for integration in packaging lines and machines where simple text / date / counter
printing is needed, as a replacement for CIJ machines or older date stamping equipment.

USB Functions
Load a layout
When turned on the controller will detect if a USB key is inserted, and load a layout if possible. Otherwise, it will load from
internal memory.
• Make sure an ink cartridge is inserted and you are not in print mode.
• Insert USB stick with layout stored from Microdraw.
• If a correct layout is found, it will be loaded. Green LED [3] will blink slowly while loading.
• Once the layout is loaded, the machine will be ready to use. Green LED [3] will become active and constantly lit.
• The job will be stored permanently to internal memory only once the USB stick is removed.
NOTICE: if you load a job with a LOWER voltage than current job, the voltage is not correctly adjusted until you
restart Micron (power-off).

Print operations
Print a layout
To start the print function, press the button. The red LED [4] will become constantly lit.
While the print function is on, each activation of the product sensor (internal or external) will release one print. At the same
time, output 1 is active.
To STOP print function, press the button again. You can stop at any time, even within a print.
Purge
To purge the printer, press the button and hold it as long as needed.
Reset counters
It is possible to reset counters to their start value. This is useful for counters that do not automatically reset during print start,
example batch counters.
Change cartridge
Change cartridge when you get a low ink alarm or when ink is empty. You may also take cartridge out to clean it or store for a
production stop (prevent dryout).
• Open green latch
• Red led [6] will blink slow
• Carefully take out cartridge, backwards then up
• Insert new cartridge, down then inwards
• Close green latch (orange led [5] will blink slow and red led [6] will be ON)
• If you wish to reset ink level, press TWICE within 5 seconds. Otherwise it will be assumed that you inserted the same
cartridge, and ink counter will continue from same value.

MICRON USER GUIDE
The Micron has an internal clock used to print date and time. As it does not know about Daylight Savings Time (where used), it
may be necessary to adjust the clock every 6 months.
• Create a clock file on the USB using MicroDraw (press USB+CLOCK icon). File will be micron.clk
• Disconnect power from Micron
• Hold down
• Connect power
• LEDs [1] AND [2] will light constantly while updating clock
• After updating clock the Micron will start normally
Start distance is the distance the product travels from product sensor has been activated until print is started.
This distance is normally set from design software. Typically it is not necessary to set from the controller. If you wish to select
start distance anyway (for example, if the designer is far away from you), do the following:
• Hold the button for 3 seconds
• The green led [3] will blink fast.
• For each sensor signal a vertical line of 10 px is printed at current position, along with a readout of current value

Connector overview
The Micron has 3 connectors:
• Power, 15 VDC
• I/O for external start switch and 2 input and 2 output
• Encoder

Fuses
The Micron has 2 fuses, both are located inside the unit.
• F1 is for the USB port the type is 0,5A SMD Fast acting.
• F2 is the main power fuse the type is 1A SMD Fast acting.
If there is no reaction at all when you turn on the unit please check these fuses.
You can buy the fuses from HSA or locally, if you choose locally make sure you get the right fuses, warranty does
not cover replacement of burned PCB’s because of wrong fuses.

I/O connector
Main function for this connector is to provide the start signal, to begin print. In the same connector are also additional inputs
as well as 2 output signals. It is located in the back of the printer, as a 9-pin female D-SUB connector.
If the external sensor is enabled in the layout, you will not get a print without proper wiring of this connector.
You can use either a simple mechanical switch or a photo cell for the start signal. The I/O connector can supply 5V and 15V
DC for the sensor but you can use any sensor in the 3-33V range if you connect an external power source.
You can buy an I/O-ENC test box set from HSA which enables you to test:
• I/O connector - Input 1, Input 2, Output 1, Output 2, Start signal input, 5V and 12V on the I/O connector and an adjustable
automatically continuous start signal is available.
• Encoder connector - Enc A & Enc B channels, Low ink, 5V and 12V and an automatically continuous encoder pulse
generator is available.
