STEP 01 - Meet the exact X12.5
Outcome: Recognize the integrated display, front print opening, client-hand path and owner-service boundary on the real black-and-gold machine.
Source class: EXACT X12.5 / OFFICIAL O2NAILS FILM
Source: Exact X12.5 overview
Direct source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAGdzBQPrVw
Source context: https://www.o2nails.com/en/detail_machine_x12_5.html
Watch for:
- The exact black-and-gold X12.5 chassis
- The integrated display
- The circular front print opening and hand path
Complete English orientation: The manufacturer film shows the exact X12.5 exterior and the relationship between its integrated display and print opening. It establishes product identity and orientation only; it does not establish the current shipped bundle, current screen revision or a complete setup sequence.
Allowed now:
- Watch the optional source film or read this complete English equivalent.
- Compare the exterior form with the machine and order record without opening a panel.
- Write down any visible difference and route it to free Owner Support.
Still on Hold: Power-up, case access, cartridge handling, screen actions and printing remain on Hold.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: model record plus the display, opening, hand path and one safe-stop condition.
Stop / Support: Hold for a different label, case, display, opening, supplied item or unexplained damage.

STEP 02 - Plan the fixed station
Outcome: Understand the future station standard: stable surface, dry zone, protected cable route and comfortable hand clearance.
Source class: EXACT-UNIT CHECKPOINT / WRITTEN CONTROL
Source: No substitute film
Direct source: https://nailprinter-customer-portal.timpeters.chatgpt.site/customers/x12-5/getting-started#pair-02
Source context: https://www.o2nails.com/en/detail_machine_x12_5.html
Watch for:
- A stable and dry location
- A cable path outside feet, wheels, heat and liquids
- Comfortable hand support and unobstructed front clearance
Complete English orientation: No generic workstation video can prove the delivered room, power label or clearances. This written checkpoint names what the accepted current-unit lesson must show without pretending that a different machine or invented animation is physical authority.
Allowed now:
- Choose a possible dry, stable location.
- Photograph the empty station without customer information.
- Keep liquids and hot tools outside the planned machine zone.
Still on Hold: Do not connect power, route a supplied cable as an operating step, or place a hand in the opening from this orientation guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: privacy-safe station photo showing surface, dry zone, cable plan and hand clearance.
Stop / Support: Hold for shipping damage, liquid exposure, a moving surface, uncertain power labelling or inadequate clearance.

STEP 03 - Understand the integrated-screen boundary
Outcome: Prepare to verify the authorized owner, normal startup and visible software information on the exact current screen.
Source class: EXACT-UNIT CHECKPOINT / WRITTEN CONTROL
Source: Current screen required
Direct source: https://nailprinter-customer-portal.timpeters.chatgpt.site/customers/x12-5/getting-started#pair-03
Source context: https://www.o2nails.com/en/detail_machine_x12_5.html
Watch for:
- The integrated display belongs to the X12.5 route
- Passwords and one-time codes must stay private
- Current visible wording controls over historical recordings
Complete English orientation: The optional manufacturer sign-in film helps explain the account-access concept, but the exact screen revision can change. A current-unit film must show normal startup, owner authorization and non-sensitive version information. This guide deliberately does not invent button names, menus or credentials.
Allowed now:
- Identify who is authorized to use the owner account.
- Prepare a private place to store non-sensitive version notes.
- Review the Support path before entering credentials.
Still on Hold: Do not power on, sign in, reset an account, enter a code or copy another model's screen route from this guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: authorized owner, startup result and visible build information with all secrets excluded.
Stop / Support: Hold for damage, a warning, restart loop, unknown owner account or wording that differs from current accepted guidance.

STEP 04 - Understand network and design access
Outcome: Prepare to verify a trusted network and a rights-safe practice design through the current integrated-screen path.
Source class: EXACT-UNIT CHECKPOINT / WRITTEN CONTROL
Source: Current screen required
Direct source: https://nailprinter-customer-portal.timpeters.chatgpt.site/customers/x12-5/getting-started#pair-04
Source context: https://www.o2nails.com/en/detail_machine_x12_5.html
Watch for:
- Trusted private studio network
- Visible connection and design-library state
- No passwords, codes, network names or customer data in shared evidence
Complete English orientation: Official shared-system films explain Wi-Fi and design-library concepts, but a current exact-screen capture is still missing. The future lesson must show the delivered X12.5 route and rights-safe design access. Historical footage cannot replace that checkpoint.
Allowed now:
- Choose a trusted private network for the future session.
- Choose one licensed or owner-created practice design.
- Prepare a redacted evidence note that records only date and success state.
Still on Hold: Do not connect, enter credentials, accept a certificate warning or copy a phone-only route from this guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: network and design-library success state with all credentials and identifiers excluded.
Stop / Support: Hold for a captive page, certificate warning, exposed credential, failed access or a route that differs.

STEP 05 - Recognize SM10 cartridge handling
Outcome: See a real shared O2NAILS cartridge procedure while keeping the exact X12.5 bay, current label and no-force rule in control.
Source class: SHARED SYSTEM / REAL O2NAILS PROCEDURE
Source: SM10 installation reference
Direct source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea3ZBKn6H1s
Source context: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXQVR7xvkH4-_-LtAlnjKlgymLnuA09HB
Watch for:
- Protected contacts and nozzle surfaces
- Upright handling
- No force when identity, orientation or seating is uncertain
Complete English orientation: The official tutorial index explicitly groups SM10 installation for V11, X11, X12 and X12.5. The film therefore explains a shared cartridge concept, not proof that every current X12.5 bay, label, package or seating state is identical.
Allowed now:
- Watch the optional source or read this English equivalent.
- Compare the unopened cartridge label with the order record.
- Photograph damage or leakage without opening the package.
Still on Hold: Do not open, insert, remove, test, clean or force a cartridge from this orientation guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: cartridge identity, lot or label, first-use date and accepted seated state.
Stop / Support: Hold for leakage, damage, wrong identity, uncertain orientation, resistance or a bay that differs.

STEP 06 - Recognize calibration and positioning
Outcome: Understand the relationship among crop, nail frame, supported hand position and safe clearance without copying a historical interface.
Source class: SHARED SYSTEM / REAL O2NAILS PROCEDURE
Source: Calibration reference
Direct source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwu6Dfc0F3Y
Source context: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXQVR7xvkH4-_-LtAlnjKlgymLnuA09HB
Watch for:
- How the nail is framed
- One-variable alignment changes
- The moment to stop when position or interface differs
Complete English orientation: The real O2NAILS film demonstrates a shared calibration concept. Treat every button, value and screen as historical context. The accepted X12.5 lesson must show the current integrated screen, current safe clearance and an exact-unit positioning checkpoint.
Allowed now:
- Watch the optional source or read this English equivalent.
- Use a paper sketch to note crop, orientation and hand-support questions.
- List any interface difference for Support.
Still on Hold: Do not place a hand or practice nail into the opening, move a mechanism, or copy a button or value from this guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: privacy-safe positioning record and one controlled practice result.
Stop / Support: Hold for contact risk, strain, unexpected movement, resistance, persistent offset or a different screen route.

STEP 07 - See the exact X12.5 complete a print
Outcome: Observe the real machine's print path and understand the evidence a controlled future practice print must preserve.
Source class: EXACT X12.5 / OFFICIAL O2NAILS FILM
Source: Exact X12.5 print demonstration
Direct source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VAHtTkOpvM
Source context: https://www.o2nails.com/en/detail_machine_x12_5.html
Watch for:
- The exact X12.5 interface and front opening
- A hand positioned for the demonstration
- The machine completing a real print
Complete English orientation: One film proves that the exact X12.5 can complete a nail-printing demonstration; a second shared film provides broader workflow context. Neither establishes the current product recipe, preparation, timing, finish, clearance or acceptance standard for a delivered NailPrinter.ca unit.
Allowed now:
- Watch the optional source or read this English equivalent.
- Write down the sequence you observe without copying screen taps or values.
- Prepare a licensed practice design and evidence template for the future released lesson.
Still on Hold: Do not prepare products, position a hand, start a print, finish a nail or serve a client from this guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: design rights, current product labels, timing, position, pre-finish result and final result.
Stop / Support: Hold for a failed baseline, unsafe clearance, unexpected movement, different screen path or unsupported product step.

STEP 08 - Recognize test, care and closeout
Outcome: Understand what output evidence and a disciplined closeout record look like while limiting action to current accepted instructions.
Source class: SHARED SYSTEM / REAL O2NAILS PROCEDURE
Source: SM10 test and care reference
Direct source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMUDk0u7pBk
Source context: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXQVR7xvkH4-_-LtAlnjKlgymLnuA09HB
Watch for:
- What a real cartridge test looks like
- How output evidence is inspected
- When the result should be saved for Support
Complete English orientation: Two real shared-system films help an owner recognize test output, care evidence and troubleshooting context. They do not authorize a historical cleaning recipe, solvent, soaking, disassembly, internal cleaning or an unlimited retry loop on the current X12.5.
Allowed now:
- Watch the optional source or read this English equivalent.
- Prepare a simple opening/issue/closeout log.
- Save the free Support route before the first future physical session.
Still on Hold: Do not run a test, apply fluid, clean, soak, disassemble, retry or shut down from this guide.
Locked evidence target: Locked future checkpoint: opening check, test result, approved external-care action, normal closeout and any Hold routed to Support.
Stop / Support: Hold for leakage, heat, smell, damage, unusual resistance, noise, movement or an unchanged failed test.
