Before you start your printer for the first time read the hints given below
and follow the underlying principles for your own and other persons’
safety.
Dear Users of EBS Ink Jet Systeme equipment,
Please read this manual necessarily in order to get full information about the
operation of your device.
Disclaimer:
We shall bear no responsibility for damage to the device if it is operated
improperly, i.e., inconsistently with this manual.
The application and use of the products are beyond our control and
therefore fall exclusively into your scope of responsibility.
As we wish to keep pace with permanently progressing technological
development and individual requirements of our clients, we need to reserve
the right to change the form, make and technical solutions of our devices.
Therefore no data, illustrations or descriptions of this manual shall form any
grounds for claims.
We spare no effort to ensure that this manual is reliable, includes all
modifications and is free from errors. However, the drawing up and
publication process is complex and an error can occur in spite of our
endeavors and wishes. We shall bear no responsibility for the
consequences of editorial and printing errors in this manual.
If your device contains a particular piece of equipment or needs performing an
operation that have not been illustrated or described in this manual, or if you
have queries on reading this manual, please contact any representative of
EBS Ink Jet Systeme for additional information.
This manual applies to Offline EBS Web User Interface (Offline WUI) in version
1.4 and the EBS-260 printers equipped with the control system in version
1.02.08. In order to view the printer system version go to:
On the printer LCD: Tools – Service – Information – System version,
In EBS Web User Interface (WUI): Information – About the program –
System version.
Application
The HANDJET® EBS-260 printer is designed for marking, labeling, putting prints
and simple graphics wherever the use of a manual labeling device is required or
preferred.
Prints are put on articles with the application of the INK-JET method.
Operational Safety
General Safety Instructions
1. The printer must not be operated in rooms where explosion hazard exists.
20150330#1.0 EBS Ink Jet Systeme
7
EN
EN
2. No prints can be made on objects whose temperature exceeds 100°C at
the time of printing.
3. No open fire or spark producing devices or objects are allowed in the area
where the device operates.
4. During printing ink drops invisible to people’s eye are jetted out of the head
at pressure. Do not aim head outlet 2 at any persons, animals or casual
objects because they may get splashed with ink unintentionally.
5. The following requirements need to be met when washing, cleaning and
maintenance operations are performed or ink containers are replaced:
The operations can only be performed in a workplace that is especially
designed for that purpose, when the device is switched off and
protective clothing is worn. A fire extinguisher designed to extinguish
electrical devices and flammable solvent fires must be placed within
easy reach of the device. Air ventilation needs to be ensured at the
workplace.
WARNING: The ink is inflammable!
Be careful not to splash the ink. Especially eyes need protecting. It is
advisable to wear protective glasses.
Protect the ink and the solvent (also waste fluid remaining after the
printer has been washed) against fire, high temperature, sparks,
electric arc and other electric discharge as they may cause ignition of
these inflammable fluids!
Do not use plastic vessels to do the washing. Metal vessels are
recommended.
6. Protect the printer against dirt, heavy dust and excessive moisture.
7. EBS Ink Jet Systeme is able to ensure perfect and safe operation of the
printer only when original, printer-specific accessories and consumables
are used.
Laser Radiation Safety
Laser pointer 4 is activated during printing for print positioning. The pointer
emits class 2 laser radiation (according to IEC 60825-1) at the wavelength of
650 nm, with a maximum output power < 1 mW. The leser beam is not
generated in pulses.
1. Do not direct the laser beam of a radiation emitting laser device toward
persons or animals, or stare at the beam. The laser light can damage sight.
2. Do not stare at the beam or look directly through optical instruments
(magnifying glasses, magnifiers, microscopes, binoculars, telescopes). The
looking through certain optical instruments (e.g. loupes, magnifying glasses
and microscopes) at an output laser beam from a distance of up to 100 mm
may generate hazard to the eyes.
3. Avoid directing the beam toward the planes that reflect laser radiation well
(mirrors or other glossy surfaces) so that the reflected beam(s) does not
shine in the eyes.

EYES rinse the eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, then
see your oculist.
SKIN wash the skin with water and soap.
The printer is marked with the following warning label in English, as standard.
The label is put on the left-hand side of the printer on plug 5 covering the hole
through which electromagnets can be adjusted.
Labels in several languages come together with the printer. If you prefer a
different language than English, replace the label with a more suitable one. If
the label is not available in your language, translate the label contents into your
language and hand it over to the printer users.
Protecting the Battery Pack
The following principles need to be obeyed to protect the batteries that are built
into the printer:
Protect the printer against excessive temperature and fire. Do not expose it
to strong solar radiation for a longer time.
Avoid a sudden change in temperature (cold hot) that might cause vapor
condensation inside the printer and thereby speed up battery discharge
and electronic circuit corrosion. Condition the printer for about 1 hour
before use after it has been moved from a cool place to a warm one.
When Ink or Wash-up Spills
Should the eyes or skin get irritated with ink or wash-up:
If the clothing has been splashed, take it off as soon as possible.
When ink or wash-up spill, wipe out the spilled fluid with a piece of
absorbent material, and then remove the material in compliance with fire
and health and safety-at-work regulations.

Control of Electromagnetic Interference
1. Properties of high-frequency devices.
Your Ink-Jet printer contains a high-frequency transmitter and receiver. When it
is in the ON state, the printer receives and transmits high-frequency (HF)
signals.
The controller of the Ink-Jet printer system controls energy emitted during
printer operation on an on-going basis.
The HANDJET® EBS-260 printer complies with all the requirements of the
regulations concerning the impact of the HF energy on humans in your country
– see Conformity Marking (p. 11).
2. Printer accessories.
If you do not use original EBS parts or printer accessories, including batteries or
electronic components, the statutory requirements may not be met and the HF
electromagnetic emission limits may be exceeded.
Impact on Medical Equipment
Pacemaker and Other Medical Implants
The printer contains built-in high-frequency transmitters and receivers. Persons
having medical implants should not approach the printer to a distance smaller
than 20 cm (8 inches) from the implants not to disturb implant operation.
Other Medical Equipment
If you use a piece of medical equipment, please ask the equipment
manufacturer whether the equipment is sufficiently shielded against
electromagnetic radiation. In certain circumstances your doctor may help you
gain the information you require.
Operation in Explosion Hazard Areas
If you work in an explosion hazard area, switch your Ink-Jet printer off, do not
replace the batteries or do not remove them from the printer and follow all
instructions and precautions. Sparking generated by batteries may cause an
explosion and/or fire in this hazardous area and result in personal injuries or
even death.
The regions where a potential explosion hazard exists are usually marked
appropriately. The examples of such regions are: solvent storage areas, fuel
storage areas and petrol stations, below-decks onboard ships, storage areas for
explosive gases, air mixtures, chemicals and metal or flour powders.
Operation in Areas of Blasting
In order to avoid disturbance during blasting operations, the printer should be
switched off in the areas where such operations are performed or where the use
of radio equipment is forbidden.
Follow the operating instructions and information signs.

Installing Ink Container in the Printer
Every ink container is equipped with a transponder that stores the information
on the type of ink and its date of manufacture. The printer has a built-in circuit
that scans the data from the transponder and thereby it helps check whether the
ink used is of the proper quality. The detailed information on ink (the container
fill-in level, the ink color, the type of solvent, the type of dye, the expiration date
for the ink, the date when the container has been accepted) is available after
the drop-shape icon on the main display top bar has been touched.
When the printer is delivered, the ink container is detached. Follow the steps
below in order to install the container:
1. Remove the container from packing 13.
2. Position the container 13 relative to the back part of the printer so that the
triangular mark on the container is directly opposite the printer middle line 27
and that the printer's pin goes into the container's non-return valve opening.
3. Press the container against the printer and turn it clockwise by 270
degrees.
The a new container is accepted, the following message is displayed: New ink
container successfully accepted.
Should problems with the acceptance of an appropriat and correct container occur,
the service staff can make temporary acceptance of such a container possible (for
50 hours) – see Unlocking Options (p. 72). The information on such a temporarily
accepted container appears in the form of the icon (F) on the status bar.

If possible, replace the container in dustfree conditions so as to minimise
the amount of contaminants getting in to the printer’s ink system.
Do not leave the printer with the ink container detached for a longer time
than that required to replace the container. While detaching or installing
the container be careful not to splash anyone or anything with the ink that
may flow out of needle 32.
1. Turn the printer off - see
Switching the Printer Off
(p. 16).
2. Put the printer in such a way that
the container points downwards,
turn empty container 13 to the
left (a). Wait about 3 seconds
while holding the container to
equalize the pressure.
3. Remove the container carefully

Ink Level in Container
When the printer stops printing, make sure that it is because the ink container
has been emptied. The level of ink in the container is displayed on screen 12
with the icon (F):
In addition, the and icons displayed alternatively can indicate that:
There is no ink container in the printer,
There is a problem with ink, e.g. the ink is past its use-by date, or the print
limit assigned to the printer has been exceeded. The information about the
problem is displayed after the icon (F) has been touched, and also in
message form after the message icon (B) has been touched.
There is no communication with the container controller – restart the
printer, and when the problem does not subside, contact your service point.

Energy Management
The detailed information on the batteries (the battery status, voltage, current,
charge level, temperature) is available after the battery icon on the main display
top bar has been touched.
Charging the Battery
A LI-ION top-quality battery has been installed in the printer. It can be
recharged at any stage of printer operation.
The battery that is new or has not been used for a long time cannot be charged
up to its full capacity. Therefore, in order to form the battery follow three charge-
and-then-discharge cycles. See figures A and B.
1. Pull out plug 16 from socket 15 and tilt it.
2. Insert power pack connector 29 to socket 15 and the outlet plug of the
power pack 28 to a wall outlet.
3. When the battery is in the process of being recharged, diode 20 flickers,
and the battery-and-lightning-bolt icon appears on printer screen 12. Wait
until the recharging finishes, which is signaled with continuous light emitted
by diode 20 and the icon (G) displayed on screen 12. Do not turn the
mains electricity off or remove the power pack connector from socket 15
while recharging is in progress.
4. Remove power pack plug 29 and secure socket 15 with plug 16. Detach the
power pack from the mains and place it into the bag.
5. In order to maintain battery efficiency for a long time, the battery should not
be recharged until it is discharged completely – see Low-battery Indicator
(p. 26).

Recharging indicators:
The HANDJET® EBS-260 printer should be stored with its batteries charged. If
the printer is to be stored for a longer time (6 months or longer) and its batteries
are not recharged, it may work for a shorter time after it has been recharged
afterwards or in certain circumstances even stop working. Such a phenomena is
caused by the properties of the batteries, which are always subject to the
process of self-discharging. In the consequence of self-discharging and longterm storage in the discharge state, the maximum capacity of the batteries may
lower or the batteries may get damaged completely.
In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to charge batteries of the
HANDJET® EBS-260 printer at least twice a year (however not less
frequently than every 6 months). Otherwise, the printer may stop working or
the printer operation time after recharging may shorten dramatically.
Low-battery Indicator
The printer indicates a low-battery condition with a buzzing signal from buzzer
34 (provided that an appropriate alarm has been set – see Sound Settings
(p. 23)) and the icon (G) displayed on screen 12. An extreme discharge
condition (below 5%) is signaled with a very fast, uniform flicker of diode 20 and
the icon (G) displayed on screen 12. When the battery reaches its critical
condition, any further use of the printer is interrupted and the printer switches off
automatically. The battery should be recharged.
If the icon (G) is additionally displayed, this may mean that there is no
communication with the battery controller or that the battery is damaged – when
such an icon is displayed, restart the printer; when the problem does not
subside, contact your service point.
