Safety First
Use goggles when carrying out maintenance of the ink jet. The unit fires ink when the photocell
is triggered by boxes or by operators hands or clothing. Avoid working in front of the print head
with the power switched on unless you need to.
Mains voltages are present within the base unit. Work according to accepted safe practices
whenever the internal power supply modules are exposed.
MEK based ink is flammable. Keep away from sources of heat and ignition. Ink should be stored
in accordance with the regulations appropriate to your factory and environment. Dispose of
used inks according to your local authority regulations; do not dispose of used ink by pouring it
into the drainage network.
The printer incorporates its own air pump and supply. DO NOT CONNECT THIS SYSTEM TO
THE MAINS AIR AS THERE IS A RISK OF THE INK BOTTLE EXPLODING AT PRESSURES
OVER 15 PSI/1bar.
WAIT TEN SECONDS AFTER SWITCHING THE UNIT OFF BEFORE COMMENCING ANY
WORK TO ALLOW THE POWER SUPPLY CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE.

Overview
The i100 ink jet printer is a microprocessor controlled printer for marking cardboard boxes,
timber, concrete blocks, shrink-wrap and similar items. It operates by firing solenoid valves in a
particular sequence in front of a moving product. As the valves open, they release pressurised
ink through a series of tubes and nozzles. The valves open very quickly, so the ink is ejected as
a droplet. By opening the valves in the correct sequence at the correct speed, words are formed
from the droplets on the product as it moves past the print head
A tour through the system
The fluid used to print is ink. The clear fluid used to flush and clean the system is cleaner or
flushing fluid.
The ink is supplied from a base unit. The base unit houses the
power supply PSU Panel (with integral control electronics) and
the air pump in the air panel. The 5 litre ink bottle sits on the
front of the base unit. The air pump pressurises the ink bottle via
the 5 litre ink cap.
The pressurised ink is fed up the ink tube (with quick disconnect
[QD/06M] fitting at each end) to the print head.
Page 4
In the print head, the ink passes through a female QD/05M fitting, through a filter IF/02 and into
the print head.
The valves are controlled from the control unit via a print head cable. The print sequence is
triggered by a photocell detecting the box. The time waited between the photocell triggering
and the print starting is called the print delay. The time that each valve is opened is called the
dot size. How fast each dot follows the previous one is controlled by the speed.
The final print quality is controlled by the speed, the dot size and the air pressure. It is also
greatly affected by how clean the print head chambers and nozzle plates are and how much ink
flow the filter is allowing. It will help to purge the system on a regular basis, and carefully spray
the nozzle plate with cleaner to remove debris. The ink pressure is factory set and is not
adjustable.
There are various other parameters available that control direction or
orientation of print (described on the quick reference sheet) that generally
will not need to be altered after installation.

Printer Operation Overview
The PSU and Controller Panel houses the microprocessor, memory and real-time clock. Print
head cables plug directly into the panel. The i100 is capable of running one or two lines of print
allowing you to run either one 16 dot twin-line print head on one side of your product, or
alternatively two single lines print heads coding on both sides of your product. If you need to
code more that two lines of print, Codeology have a range of printers to enable you to do this.
The controller holds 101 printing messages of two lines, any of which can be selected from the
hand controller or via ethernet. Messages can contain fixed text or variable time, date,
expiration dates or counts all of which can be updated automatically within the controller.
The i100M is controlled by either a k100 Hand Held Controller, or via a serial or Ethernet cable
from a PC running Codeology iText control software. Hand Controller operation is covered in
more detail towards the end of the manual. A quick reference sheet is also included in the
manual for easy navigating around the keyboard. It is useful to laminate the quick reference
sheet and keep it near the machine for the first few weeks until operators get used to the
keyboard commands.
For operation using the iText software, refer to the iText instruction manual
Page 6
Installation
Decide on an installation point for the printer and head.
The head is mounted using the separate MF/01 mount bracket.
For installations with two print heads, one each side of your product, you will need two MF/01
mount brackets.
The print head to printer cables, photocell cables and ink lines are 1 or 2 metres as standard.
Ensure that the cables will reach from the base unit to the print head(s) without strain.
Aim to place the printer base near to the head and slightly below it with the top of the ink bottle
ideally no more than 0.5m below the top of the print head (as shown by the picture on the left). If
the ink bottle is too low it will reduce the effective ink pressure at the head which can affect the
print quality.
The print head should be mounted so that it rubs gently along the face of your product.
Standard brackets are supplied to allow you to print on a vertical face, if you wish to print on a
horizontal face (the top or bottom of timber sheets for example) special brackets are available
from Codeology.
MF/01 Mount Bracket

Place the print head on a section of conveyor that adheres to the following rules (in order of
importance):
• Ensure the product is guided so that it just brushes the head.
• Allow for broken or misaligned products - the guiding should deflect these from the head
rather than allowing them to crash into it.
• Products should not stop in front of the head.
• Products should have a gap between them of at least 25mm.
• Conveyor speed is no more than 28 m/min (the slower the speed the easier to maintain
good print quality).
• Conveyor speed is fixed, not accelerating or decelerating.
• Pick a flat section of conveyor. Any deviations in the conveyor bed will transfer to the
print, giving wavy and uneven print.
• Driven belts (i.e. case tapers) are preferable to roller conveyors to ensure smooth
product drive and maintain optimum print quality.
Decide on a position to mount the photocell product detector. The standard photocell is a
diffuse reflective type (that is it ‘sees’ reflections from a product appearing in front of it). A retroreflective type that uses a reflector as a mirror (that sees a product as an interruption between it
and the reflector) is available from Codeology where diffuse reflective will not work.
The photocell bracket fits to the ink filter assembly which can be assembled on either the left or
right hand side of the print head mounting brackets. Place it on the leading edge of the print
head so that the photocell ‘sees’ the product before it reaches the head.
Place the photocell so that it adheres to the following rules:
• The photocell face is at least 25mm from your product
• It should face plain, unprinted, unbroken areas of the product. Holes in cardboard boxes,
large areas of pre-print, and spaces between yoghurt pots or bottles will all be seen as
gaps between products.
• Do not place it so that it looks directly across the conveyor at any other photocell (of any
type) as they may trigger each other.
Ensure that the buffer plate is positioned on the leading edge of the print head. If it is on the
trailing edge you will need to dismantle the ink filter and head mounting bracket and reassemble as a mirror image.

Connecting everything up.
Connect the photocell to the control unit.
If any cables have ferrite beads fitted, fit the cables so that
the ferrites are at the printer base end.
Remove the transit cap and the inductive seal from the ink
bottle. Screw the ink cap firmly onto the bottle but do not
overtighten. The cap O-ring will maintain a tight seal with the
cap hand-tight. Secure the bottle on the printer unit by
hooking the bottle handle over the lip on the top of the base.
For a single line print head,
connect the print head
cable to the PSU Panel,
using the connector shown
here as Head/Line 1.
Connect the other end to
the print head.
For two single line print heads, connect the first print head cable to the Head/Line 1 on the
control unit. Connect the other end to one print head, this will be head 1. Connect the second
print head cable to the Head/Line 2 connector on the control unit. Connect the other end to the
second print head, this will be head 2. Either head can be positioned on either side of the
conveyor.
If you have a hand controller or PC with serial cable, connect the serial cable to the top
connector on the printer base.
Connect the air line on the printer base to the air connector on the ink bottle. DO NOT
CONNECT THIS SYSTEM TO THE MAINS AIR AS THERE IS A RISK OF THE INK BOTTLE
EXPLODING AT PRESSURES OVER 15 PSI/1bar.
Connect the ink line to the ink cap but DO NOT connect it to the print head yet. If you have two
print heads you will have a y-piece in your ink line. The single section of the ink tube connects
to the bottle, the two identical lengths go to the print heads.
Finally connect the mains power cable. The unit will always be supplied for 240V 50Hz
operation unless you have specified otherwise at the time of order. There is a jumper setting
internally on the power supply to allow you to change this if necessary.
Cable positioning
Strap cables and ink lines out of the way
of passing pedestrians or pallet trolleys.
Do not leave loops of cables dangling
where brooms can catch them during
cleaning. Cable tie the photocell, head
cables and ink lines together.
DO NOT coil any excess mains, photocell
or print head cables. This makes an aerial
Page 11
loop that picks up and amplifies electrical noise present in every factory and may induce
interference in the printer. For mains cables shorten the cables to length. For other cables, if
they must be coiled then wrap then in a figure-of-eight arrangement and cable tie them in the
middle. This prevents the coil formation and reduces induced electrical interference.
Do not hang cables over motors, or run alongside high voltage or motor drive cables or trunking.
All of these may induce interference in the printer.
Commissioning the print heads
Switch on the unit. Wait 30 seconds for the air pressure to build up in the ink bottle. Place a
container at the end of the ink tube. Press the centre section of the QD fitting on the inside wall
of your container and release the air then a little ink from the ink tube. Repeat for the other leg
of the ink tube if you have two print heads. Connect the ink lines to the print heads. DO NOT
allow the ink fittings to drag on the floor before plugging them into the heads as they will pick up
debris which may affect your print quality.
Place a container in front of the print head. Note that you will need a high-walled container as
the ink jets fly out in a straight line and can jet over 600mm from the head.
Select purge from your hand controller or PC (see quick reference sheets or iText manual to do
this). If you have two heads, select purge for line 1 only at this point.
Cover the photocell. Ink will be ejected into the container for as long as you cover the photocell.
Purge the head of the clear shipping fluid, then allow the ink and any trapped air to flow from the
nozzle plate until all of the nozzles stop spluttering and give straight jets of ink.
Turn off the purge (switching the unit off for 10 seconds then back on again will switch the purge
off if the control PC is a long way from the unit).
Repeat the process for a second print head if applicable.
Setting up the first print
For all subsequent hand controller or PC commands, refer to the quick reference sheets.
Message 1 will always have a test message pre-programmed when the printer leaves the
factory. It will also have the correct parameters to ensure the unit will print if the photocell is
covered. Ensure message 1 is selected for print.
Hold a piece of cardboard in front of the print head and cover the photocell. Make sure that ink
is ejected onto the cardboard.
Next run the cardboard by hand past the photocell and print head. Run it in the direction that
your product will go past the head. Check that the test message is printed onto the cardboard
and that the buffer plate is on the leading edge of the head.
Now try and run the cardboard past the head at the conveyor speed. The print may miss the
cardboard, start too early, stop too late or appear too wide or too narrow. Adjust the print speed
to get the print speed aligned with the conveyor speed, smaller speed values equate to faster
conveyor speeds. Then adjust the print delay to get the positioning correct.
Next present one of your products to the print head and adjust the dotsize to get the print that
suits your preferences.
Page 12
Finally edit the message from the Codeology test message to the one that you wish to use.
The hand controller may now be removed or can be left in place as you wish.
Commissioning is now complete.
Running in
You may see that the print quality initially is not as good as the test print that came with the
printer. This is for several reasons.
The cleaner that is shipped in the head dilutes the ink and takes several hundred prints to be
completely flushed through. This gives a varying dot spread on your product. It will improve as
the ink flushes out all of the cleaner.
It can take several thousand prints to finally eject all of the microscopic air bubbles that lie in the
print heads. These will have been introduced when the ink lines were connected. Purging at the
start of each shift for the first three shifts will help to disperse these.
Page 13
Maintenance
At the end of each shift.
Switch the printer off. Spray cleaner onto the nozzle plate and wipe off GENTLY with Codeology
print head wipes. Do not wipe too hard as you will push cardboard fibres into the sapphires and
block them.
Every 12 months (every 6 months in dusty environments)
Replace the print head ink filter. Switch off the unit, remove the air connector from the top of the
ink bottle to remove the pressurised air from the system. Dismantle the print head brackets to
gain access to the filter. Unplug the filter by pulling the tubing from the luer fittings at each end.
Replace the filter with a new one pushing the ink tubes firmly onto the luer fittings of the new
filter.
Replace the ink filter on the dip tube from the ink cap.
Purge the head until no more air is ejected from the nozzle plate. Note that there may still be a
bubble of air in the filter body, this is normal.
Purging
If the print degrades due to air in the ink following an ink change, or you have removed the
nozzle plate to clean it, you should purge the print head. Switch off the printer. Remove the
head from the bracket and point it into a container to collect the ejected ink. Note that you will
need a high-walled container as the ink jets fly out in a straight line and can jet over 600mm
from the head.
Switch on the unit, and if using a Hand Controller select Purge from the maintenance menu (see
the quick reference sheet for how to do this). Press the left blank key then
.
Now cover the
photocell to start the purge cycle, uncover it to stop. If you do not see 7 jets in a straight line
with no deviations or wandering, then you may have to adjust the valve adjustment screws as
described later.
Once you have seven good jets, switch the printer off and reinstall the head. When you switch
back on again the printer will be ready to print.
Page 14
Remove cover screws
Advanced Maintenance
Note that the following tasks should only be attempted by proficient technicians. Errors in the
following procedures will make the print head unusable and can damage it irreparably. If in
doubt return the head to your supplier for overhaul
Nozzle Plate Cleaning
If you cannot get one of the jets to fire it may
be a blockage behind the nozzle plate. This is
likely if the print head has been left for more
than a few days with ink in it and was not
flushed through before switching off.
Remove the four cross-head screws on the
nozzle plate. Carefully remove the nozzle
plate from the front of the print head TAKE
CARE THAT YOU DO NOT LOSE ANY
PLUNGERS FROM BEHIND THE NOZZLE
PLATE.
Clean the nozzle plate and blow it dry with an
air line.
If you remove the plungers for inspection or cleaning note the order that they come out of the
head and replace them in the same positions.
Replacement is a reversal of the above procedure, making certain that the O-ring is seated
correctly behind the nozzle plate before tightening the screws.
Head valve adjustment
Warning, Delicate Parts Inside:
Incorrect valve adjustment can
destroy the print head
If a jet does not print even after the
nozzle plate has been cleaned you may
have to adjust the valve screw to
compensate for wear in a plunger.
Dismantle the head bracket and filter
fixings to remove the buffer plate. Loose
the two screws clamping the print head
in the round brackets. Remove the two
cover plate screws from the front of the
print head and remove the front cover.
Next slide the tubular print head cover
forward and off the print head.
Page 15
Adjustment screws
This will expose the electronics within the print head.
The print head will sit within the round brackets but
ensure that none of the electronics shorts out on the
metal brackets.
Each valve has a miniature solenoid with an adjusting
screw at the end. Identify which valve is not firing
correctly and note the position of the adjustment screw,
Turn the screw 1/16
th
of a turn either way and take a test
print. If the dot does not appear in the print you may
adjust by 1/16
th
turns but NO MORE THAN 90
DEGREES EITHER WAY. Adjustment of more than 90
degrees will destroy the valve.
If you still cannot get the dot to reappear you will need to
send the print head back to your supplier for
refurbishment.
Replacing Ink Bottles
For trouble-free operation use only Codeology inks. Switch off the unit, disconnect the air and
ink fittings from the 5 litre cap. Unscrew the cap from the old bottle, remove the cap and foil seal
from a new bottle. Replace the cap on the new bottle and reconnect the air and ink lines.
Ready a small container to collect the first ink through. Remove the ink line from the print head.
Switch the printer on and wait 30 seconds for the air pressure to build up. Push the QD fitting
against the inside face of the container and allow ink to escape from the ink line. Within a few
seconds, trapped air will be ejected. Release the QD fitting and replace it into the head.
Continue printing as normal.
If you have not removed all of the air from the system, or the previous ink bottle ran out, then
you may find after 200-300 prints that the print degrades as the air comes through. If so, simply
purge the head.
Page 16
Troubleshooting
No print
• Check the red lights on the control panel. They remain off until the photocell is
triggered, when one or both come on and flicker as the unit prints. If the light comes on,
make sure it is the top light if you have only one print head cable plugged in, which
should be plugged into the top connector. If neither light flickers, you are printing the
wrong message, the message is blank or the 40 volts fuse on the power supply has
failed.
• Check the ink level and the ink tube to the head is full of ink.
• Is there air pressure in the bottle. Gently remove the quick disconnect air fitting from the
bottle cap. It should hiss as air escapes. If it does not, check the air pump operation.
Check the box counter. Does it increment when the photocell is triggered? If so, the unit is
printing something so check:
• The screen shows ‘Msg XXX printing’. Is XXX the message number that you want?
• Edit the message. Does it have something in it to print?
• Is the dotsize between 150-180
If no, then check
• Is the photocell seeing the box. Look for the led on the photocell lighting up when the
product is in front of it. Clean the photocell if necessary NB switch the unit off first to
avoid ink being ejected into your eyes as you wipe the photocell.
• Is there any ink being ejected from the nozzle plate? If yes, check the delay settings to
see if the printer is printing after the box has gone.
• If no, try purging the head. If still nothing, replace the ink filter and re-test.
Dots missing
Purge first of all. Are some of the jets twisting and not straight? If so following the instructions
given under routine maintenance to clean the nozzle plate.
If after cleaning the nozzle plate you still have no print you may wish to consider sending the
head back to your supplier to have the valves adjusted or the head overhauled. If you wish to
adjust valves yourself, follow the instructions under Advanced Maintenance.
Page 17
Hand Controller Operation
The hand controller powers up when it is plugged into the i100. There are a few seconds delay
while it loads some parameters from the printer. The screen then displays the top menu option.
All menus are then selected using the ‘tick’ (
) key
The hand controller can be left plugged in or removed for normal operation. It can be used when
the Ethernet is connected, although care should be taken about using the hand controller at the
exact same time as the Ethernet port is being used by any control computer. The two
connections are shared and unpredictable results may occur if you try and use both at the same
time.
The hand controller operates in a similar way to most mobile phone menu selections. A ‘tick’
key (
) and a ‘backup’ key () allow selection of an item on the screen, so scrolling until ‘Edit’
is shown on the screen then pressing
takes the operator into the Edit menu for example.
Pressing takes the operator back out of the menu to where they started.
There are also two blank keys that are used when
an ‘either-or’ response is required, so for example
when the print delay menu is selected, the question
is asked ‘Forward or Reverse?’. The left blank key
is the first option, the right blank is the second, so
in this example pressing the left blank key will
answer ‘forward’, the right will answer ‘reverse’.
To minimise the number of keys and space, editing
uses the same principle as texting on a mobile
phone. For example, pressing the 1 key shows
‘ABC1abc’ in the top right of the screen. Pressing
the 1 key again within 0.75 seconds highlights ‘A’,
press again and ‘B’ is highlighted and so on until no
key is pressed with 0.75 seconds. The last
letter/number selected then drops into the
message. The ‘C’ key is used to delete any
mistakes. Pressing C deletes the last key entered.
To delete a specific character, use the arrow keys to navigate the flashing cursor to the right of
the character then press C to delete the character.
Generally, pressing the
key will save anything you have typed; pressing the key will
discard any changes.
The Quick Reference Sheets show all of the menus available.
Page 18
Navigating with the keyboard
To select a menu, press the tick () key.
To move back up, or escape from a menu, press the restore () key.
Where you have a choice (e.g. Fwd or Rev for delay), the left blank key is the first option, the right blank is the
second option. Similarly to set the forward or reverse direction, normal or inverse print, purge or not purge lines,
the left blank key is the first option, the right blank is the second.
Editing
Messages are made up of lines, up to 2 lines per message. When editing, these are shown as e.g. 1/2, message 1
line 2. Line 1 is usually the top line.
Editing works like texting on a mobile phone. Press the 1 key and you will get A, press it again within 0.5 seconds
and you will get ‘B’, again for ‘C’ and so on until you scroll around again. If you make a mistake, press the ‘C’ key
to clear the character.
There is a keyboard timer setting which take account of how long operators take to press keys This should be set
high when operators are learning the keyboard. Experienced users will find a high setting frustrating so a lower
number should be entered when the operators get used to the system.
