- Various previous data settings on the RIP will need to be updated to meet the requirements of the upgraded VG-640/540 and SG-540/300. The settings from before the upgrade cannot be used because they do not support TR2/TE2 ink.
- Be sure to prepare new TR2/TE2 ink (a full ink set), Cleaning Liquid Pouch for TR2 ink (1 set), and Manual Cleaning Liquid for TR2 ink (1 bottle) before upgrading. Unless you have these items readily available nearby, you will not be able to complete the upgrade.
