The crystal ball style needs to be processed by the M1 Ultra with inkjet function, so the main focus will be on introducing the precautions for using the inkjet function of M1 .
1.  After replacing the module, it is necessary to observe and check whether the inkjet condition is normal.
2. When you start the processing button, the inkjet module will conduct a test on a white sticky note. You need to observe whether the test is normal or not. If it is not normal, you should pause and cancel the processing, remove the module, wipe the inkjet nozzle, and check whether the ink ejection is normal. If it is still not normal after wiping with a tissue paper, you need to wipe it with a wet wipe and then with a dry tissue paper. 
3. Processing can be carried out after confirming that the ink is ejected normally.
