SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

WARNING

● Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device around the printer.

The ink and makeup are both flammable and may cause fire. Fire can be generated by matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas burners, welders, grinders and static electricity. Arcs may be generated from open-type relays, switches, and brush motors. Before handling the ink and makeup, remove static electricity from your body, peripheral equipment, and so on. In the interest of safety, position a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the printer.

● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, install the printer at an adequately ventilated location.

Never install the printer in an enclosed space. Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to prevent it from filling with organic solvent vapor. Secure adequate space for the ink/makeup handling area and printer installation site. At least 200 m must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.

Installation Environment of Printer

CAUTION

● If extraneous noise enters the printer, it may malfunction or break down.

For maximum noise immunity, observe the following installation and wiring precautions.

Ensure that 100 to 120 VAC or 200 to 240 VAC power cables are not bundled with other power supply cables. Insulate the printer main body and print head so that they do not come into direct contact with the conveyor or other devices. If the employed print target detector is housed in a metal case, use a plastic mounting brace for the purpose of insulating the detector from the conveyor and other devices. Be sure that the print target detector wiring is not bundled together with other power supply cables.

(4) ●Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

WARNING

● Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply with applicable cords. Properly connect the printer to its dedicated ground.

Complete the above procedure to avoid electrical shock hazards.

● When welding, keep enough space between the IJ printer and the

welding work area to prevent the arc from starting a fire. Also, be sure to

insulate the printhead and IJ printer frame to keep the welding current from flowing to the control section of the printer, and to make a separate ground connection for the printer.

● If you wish to receive ink particles in a beaker, for a printing test for example, use an electrically conductive beaker and connect the beaker securely to the ground.

Do not let the tip of the printing head enter the beaker.

Ink particles used for printing are electrically charged. An ungrounded beaker has a gradually rising charge, possibly catching on or causing a fire.

Grounding

WARNING

● Use an AC voltage of 100 to120 V or 200 to 240 V ±10% only and a power frequency of 50 or 60 Hz only.

If the above requirements are not met, the electric parts may overheat and burn, creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

Cable Handling

●Safety Precautions (5)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

Ink and Makeup Handling

WARNING

● When charging a refill of ink or makeup, exchanging ink, or otherwise handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill ink or makeup.

If you spill any ink or makeup by mistake, wipe it off neatly and promptly with wiping paper or something similar. Do not close the maintenance cover until you make sure that the portion you have just wiped is completely dry.

You must pay particular attention when you have spilled ink or makeup inside

the printer and it is not completely dry. Why? Because vapors of ink or makeup will stay inside the printer and may catch on or cause a fire.

If you find it hard to wipe the printer when it is turned on, stop it with the maintenance cover open. Power it down, and then wipe it off again.

● If you wish to clean the casing of the printer with wiping paper impregnated with makeup, be sure to do so with the power off.

Attempting to clean it when the power is on will cause makeup or vapors of makeup to enter the printer, possibly catching on or causing a fire. When the cleaning is over, open the maintenance cover and make sure that no makeup has entered and no vapors remain inside.

● Should you find a leak of ink or makeup inside the printer while the printer is running or being maintained, wipe it off promptly with wiping paper or

something similar. Then, with the maintenance cover open, stop the printer,

power it down, and repair the leak.

Continuing operation with a leak of ink or makeup will cause an anomaly, resulting in abnormal printing. Ink and makeup are flammable. They may therefore catch on or cause a fire.

● The ink and makeup, their waste solution, used wiping papers and empty containers are flammable. Waste disposal must comply with appropriate

regulations. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.

CAUTION

● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, observe the following handling precautions.

When handling the ink or makeup, wear protective gloves and safety goggles to avoid direct skin contact. If the ink or makeup comes into contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and warm or cold water. When transferring the ink or makeup to or from a bottle, exercise caution to prevent it coming into contact with the printer or surrounding articles. If there is any spillage, immediately wipe it clean using a cloth moistened with makeup.

● Ink and makeup must be stored as flammable liquids. Storage must comply with local regulatory requirements. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

Main Body Handling

WARNING

● Do not insert tweezers, a screwdriver, or any other metal article into the ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.

When the printer is ready to print, a high voltage (approximately 6 kV) is applied to the deflection electrode section in the print head. Exercise caution to avoid electric shock, injury, and fire.

● Do not remove covers and/or screws which are not specified on this manual.

A high voltage is applied to some sections of the printer. Exercise caution to avoid electric shock and injury.

● Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly pulling, or bending piping tubes.

Since the ink and makeup in some portions of piping tubes are pressurized, they may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

● While the printer is operating, do not look into the ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.

Ink or makeup may enter your eyes or mouth or soil your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold

water and consult a physician.

● When ejecting the ink, do it after confirming that there is no one in the ejection

direction. (Operate with the end of the print head inserted in a beaker, etc.)

● Before servicing the printer, be sure to stop the ink ejection.

Because ink or makeup may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

● If an earthquake, fire, or other emergency occurs while the printer is engaged in printing or just turned on, press the Main power switch to turn off the power.

CAUTION

● Only persons who have completed an operator training course for Hitachi IJP can operate and service the printer.

●Ink and makeup 1-1

1.1 Ink and makeup

(1) Ink and makeup replenishment

The printer employs an automatic ink/makeup replenishment system. While the printer is operated, the ink reservoir automatically supplies the ink and the makeup reservoir automatically supplies the makeup to the ink main tank at regular intervals. If the ink or makeup replenisher level is too low, an alarm is issued. In this case, replenish the ink or makeup without delay. (For the replenishment procedures, see Section 8.)

(2) Ink periodic replacement

For the replacement procedures, see “Technical Manual Chapter 6”.

●While the IJ printer ink circulates for operations, it reacts with the atmospheric air elements and deteriorates with time. Therefore, it needs periodic replacement. The guide for determining the replacement interval conforms to the handling guidance of each ink.

*What is makeup? :

The makeup serves as the replenisher that makes up for the constituent loss due to ink evaporation during ink ejection. It is also used as a cleaning solution.

1. USAGE PRECAUTIONS

(3) When using the cartridge bottle makeup as the cleaning solution

Open the makeup cartridge bottle by turning its cap.

● Do not remove the over cap.

CAUTION

Use the makeup by transferring it to the cleaning bottle.

● If the cleaning solution is not available, pour the makeup of the makeup cartridge bottle into the cleaning bottle before the makeup cartridge bottle is set.

● Tighten the cap of the makeup cartridge bottle after use. Turn it upside down to check if there is No leakage of makeup.

● If the makeup in the makeup cartridge bottle is used as cleaning solution, the content of makeup in the makeup cartridge bottle is reduced. When it is set in the printer, please use the makeup cartridge bottle which contains more than half of its content.

● In the makeup accidentally spilled, promptly wipe it up with the wiping paper.

1-2 ●IJ printer long-term shutdown

1.2 IJ printer long-term shutdown

When the IJ printer is shut down for a long time due to production or other circumstances, the ink may accrete inside of the printer and cause such problems as inability to be ejected or to be recovered. When this occurs, the following actions must be taken.

Prevent accretion by operating the printer periodically.

Operate (eject ink) the printer for 1 hour or longer at least once during the “Shutdown Period Guideline” shown in the table below.

Perform long-term shutdown storage work.

Before storage, drain the ink from inside the printer and fill the printer with makeup. When restarting operation after storage, drain the makeup from inside the printer and fill the printer with ink. Refer to Technical manual “6.16 Long-term Shutdown” for detail.

Storage temperature Shutdown Period Guideline *1

0 to35 C 3 weeks

35 to 40 C 2 weeks

40 to 45 C 1 week

*1: Maximum period the printer can be continuously shut down without being operated.

● The values in the table are for MEK based ink.

● Handling of ink other than the above requires special handling in accordance with the han-

dling guidance of each ink.

● To prevent adhesion, store the equipment at the lowest temperature possible.

● Please note the ink may harden within a week when it is stored in 45

C or higher.

Since “Perform long-term shutdown storage work” requires special work, it is recommended to contact your local distributor and ask for the work.

CAUTION

●Print head cleaning 1-3

1.3 Print head cleaning

Take the following precautions when cleaning ink from around the nozzle.

(1) Orient the end of the print head downward and pour makeup onto the dirty part and clean while catching the makeup in a beaker.

(2) After cleaning, thoroughly wipe the print head with wiping paper and allow it to dry.

●Thoroughly dry the nozzle, charge electrode, deflection electrode, mounting base and fringe of the gutter. Confirm that the parts are sufficiently dry before starting the next operation. If operated while wet, the printer will not start normally.

●While the print head is wet, do not orient its end upward.

(3) Never immerse the print head in the makeup.

(4)When printing is frequently performed or the distance between the print material and the print head is short,

ink splashes may stain the end of the print head and the print head cover. If this condition is left unresolved, the stained status will be made worse, resulting in a print error or emergency stop. If a print error or emergency stop frequently occurs because of stain due to ink splashes, stop the operation in progress and clean the end of the print head (around the nozzle, charge electrode, deflection electrode, mounting base and gutter) and the print head cover. Do this in addition to the cleaning to be performed at the end of each day’s work.

Air purging of the print head is effective against staining due to ink splashing. See the Technical Manual “3.1 Print head air purge”.

Cleaning range

Do not pour the makeup over this section. Wipe the print head clean with wiping paper dampened with the makeup.

1-4 ●Shutdown

1.4 Shutdown (no-cleaning stop)

When you press the SHUTDOWN → OK at HOME screen, the printer stops after completing its automatic nozzle cleaning sequence. If you repeatedly activate the SHUTDOWN → OK to stop an operation, excessive makeup will enter the printer, thereby thinning the ink or producing an unduly high ink main tank solution level. If it is absolutely necessary to repeatedly stop the printer operation, use the following procedure. (For detail the HOME screen, refer to “4.1 Print description screen (initial screen)”.)

*1: Do not use the SHUTDOWN → OK to stop operation more than two successive times. *2: When operation was stopped using SHUTDOWN → No-cleaning stop , if left in that state, the

ink will become stuck in the nozzle and cause ink stream bending, nozzle clogging, and printing

disturbance. Apply makeup to the nozzle orifice to wash it within 30 minutes after a stop to cause the

ink to eject once again.

The no-cleaning stop procedure works even while the startup sequence is being executed. (The SHUTDOWN → OK is inoperative during the startup sequence.)

Press SHUTDOWN .

●Cautions on operating time when printer is in service 1-5

1.6 Heating of ink

(1) If the ambient temperature is under approximately 20 C, the ink is heated by a heating unit in the print head. The startup processing time relative to when not operating becomes long.

When not operating: Approximately 1.5 minutes When operating: Maximum approximately 10 minutes (The rise processing time changes depending on the

ambient temperature.)

(2) When a heating unit fault occurs, take care of the following items.

If a heating unit fault occurs, the messages “Ink Heating Unit too High”, “Ink Heating Unit Temperature Sensor Fault”, or “Ink Heating Unit Over Current” are displayed and the IJ printer fault stops. The IJ printer can be restarted by pressing the Reset or Close . However, the ink will not be heated even if the temperature drops thereafter.

Once “do not perform ink heating” is set, the following message is always displayed whenever the power is turned on thereafter. Cancel the message by pressing the Close and be sure to inform your nearest local distributor.

If the printer is temporally operated in "do not perform ink heating" status, the operation of the printer may become possible by resetting the excitation voltage.

Reset the excitation voltage according to Technical Manual “6.10 Excitation V Adjustment”.

Ink Temperature Correction Notice

The selected setup does not allow ink temperature corrections to be made.

Solution Contact your local distributor.

No.187

CONFIRMATION

1.5 Cautions on operating time when printer is in service

(1) Cautions when printer is repeatedly stopped immediately after the start

of operation

If you repeatedly stop the printer immediately after the start of operation, automatic nozzle cleaning at shutdown will cause the ink in the IJ printer to gradually become thinner. For stable operation of the IJ printer, operate the printer for a given amount of time or more once started.( =in Ink eject status) During the operation, the ink viscosity is adjusted automatically and returns to the initial value. The required amount of operation time varies depending on the ambient temperature or ink types used. Refer to the handling guidance of each ink for details.

(2) Caution when daily operating time is relatively long

The IJ printer emits an ink jet when printing, so the outside and inside of the print head cover will become dirty with accumulated ink spillage during operation. To prevent printing defects due to this ink accumulation, periodically check the head cover and clean it as required.

1-6 ●Ink concentration control

No Ink Concentration Control

The current settings have made ink concentration control unavailable.

Solution Contact your local distributor.

No.200

CONFIRMATION

1.7 Ink concentration control

(1) The ink is automatically controlled to maintain optimum concentration for printing.

(2)If an error occurs in the viscometer which is used to control ink concentration, take care of the following points:

There are three types of viscometer errors:

“Inside Temperature Sensor Fault”, “Viscometer Reading Instability”, and “Viscometer Reading Out of

Range”. When a “Inside Temperature Sensor Fault” occurs, the unit will enter the fault stop state. Re-start is possible by pressing the Close , but the setting will be changed to the state in which ink concentration control based on the measured result using the viscometer is not performed thereafter. Once the setting of automatic concentration control is released, every time the power is turned on, the following message will appear. Cancel the message by pressing the Close and be sure to inform your nearest local distributor.

When “Viscosity Reading Instability” or “Viscosity Readings Out of Range” occurs, the unit will not enter the fault stop state and printing can be continued. However, you should contact your nearest local distributor for inspection.

1.8 Gutter cleaning

The IJ printer collects ink not used for printing from the gutter. At the same time, it sucks in atmospheric gas, dust, and other matter from the air. If these substances are mixed with the ink in the gutter, undissolved components in the ink or makeup may stick to the gutter. If the system is run for 24 consecutive hours without automatic cleaning, these components will gradually accumulate in the gutter. This, together with the ink stream coming into contact with it, may cause such errors as “an error stemming from a dirty head”.

Clean the gutter and its perimeters with makeup periodically. Perform the procedures descibed in “6.6 Cleaning the Gutter” in Technical Manual, and claen the gutter and the recovery route. Should the solution above do not work, contact your nearest distributor.

●Protection sheet 1-7

1.9 Protection sheet

A protection sheet is provided to protect the screen display of the IJ printer. This is used to prevent the screen display from becoming dirty, scratched, etc.

(1) Installing the protection sheet

Clean all dirt, debris, ink, etc., from the panel surface. Use a paper wipe, etc., soaked in water or makeup to wipe the display clean. *Install the protection sheet after the panel surface has dried. Peel off the removable paper from the back of the protection sheet. *Do not touch the double-sided tape on the back of the protection sheet.

1. To prevent drying of the nozzle orifice and dust from sticking to the plate during unit storage,

the unit is shipped with a “nozzle rubber seal” installed. Remove this “nozzle rubber seal” at installation and test running and adjustment.

2. The “nozzle rubber seal” prevents drying of the nozzle orifice and dust from sticking to the

plate. When the IJ printer will not be used for several days over a holiday, etc., we

recommend that the “nozzle rubber seal” be installed between the nozzle orifice and charge

electrode at shutdown.

Store the “nozzle rubber seal” in a plastic bag, etc., to protect it from dirt and dust. Always install the “nozzle rubber seal” after cleaning it with makeup. When installing the “nozzle rubber seal”, be careful not to deform the charge electrode.

3.2.4 Careful Cleaning

(1) Overview

● This is the function to clean the printer carefully when IJ Printer is frequently used in high-temperature

environment, or before the weekend, such as 2-3 day shutdown period. This careful cleaning uses more amount of makeup than the normal cleaning.

● Please note that precautions shall be fully understood when using this function, because with the

“Careful-Cleaning” function, IJP uses more amount of makeup than the normal Cleaning Stop.

(2) How to use Careful Cleaning function

● Please contact your nearest local distributor to use this function.

●When a bar code of the same kind was set at adjacent print items, only the continuous series bar code is assumed. However, fixed length bar codes such as EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,

EAN-13 Add-On 5 and GS1 DataBar become independent bar codes.

●For multiple settings, provide a print item for which a bar code is not set between the print items with a

bar code set.

●Up to a maximum of 4 DM (Data Matrix), code 128, QR code, Micro QR and GS1 DataBar can be set

respectively.

QR code and Micro QR can be collectively set up to 4.

●Since the number of horizontal dots is uniquely determined for bar codes, an inter-character space cannot be set.

●A bar code can be set even for print items with a calendar and count set. However, when calendar

substitution, zero suppression, or an invalid character is set, for the bar code setting, the relevant character

is deleted.

●Neither the calendar nor the count set can be set to the country code.

●When code set C of code 128 was set when the English alphabet is set for the count upper limit, the

relevant character is deleted.

●Since start and stop codes are automatically generated, input as print description is unnecessary.

●A barcode with the identification numbers can be set in 1 line or 2 lines setting.

When in 2 lines setting, the barcode with the identification numbers can only be set to either upper or

lower line.

If the barcode is set to the upper line, it cannot be set to the lower line or vice versa.

●For GS1 DataBar, neither the calendar nor the count can be set to 1st, 2nd and 3rd digit.

●Bar code cannot be set at character size 30 × 40 and 36 × 48 print items.

A print item (character size is 5×7 or 5×8) will be created.

The method of setting the horizontal (X) coordinate and vertical (Y) coordinate is as same as "Individual item move".

●Set the print format (Free layout; UX-D,E only) 4-36

4.8.4 Set dot matrix, inter-character space, and other parameters

● Set the dot matrix, inter-character space, bold font, and bar code. However, character sizes 30 x 40 and 36 x 48 cannot be set.

● The methods of setting is the same as fixed layout. See “4.7.4 Set dot matrix, inter-character space, and other parameters” for details.

● The bottom-left coordinate of the selected print item is first fixed and adjust as follows:.

When changing the dot matrix, inter-character space, etc…, the top-right coordinate of the print

item can be over the limit of coordinate.

Should the top-right of the print item go beyond the limit of horizontal (X) coordinate, it will be

automatically adjusted to horizontal (X) coordinate =31999.

Should the top-right of the print item go beyond limit of vertical (Y) coordinate, it will be automatically adjusted to vertical (Y) coordinate = 29 (3 lines upgrade) or 31 (4 lines or 5 lines upgrade).

4.8.5 Print a bar code

● Set bar code for free layout.

● Basic method of the setting bar code is the same as the method for the fixed layout. See the “4.7.5

Print a bar code” for details.

● There are some restrictions for setting the bar code for free layout. The restrictions are described as follows;

The restrictions of the setting bar code for free layout

Bar code Restriction

Data Matrix (DM) Up to maximum of 1 DM, per one message.

QR code and Micro QR

QR code and Micro QR can be collectively set up to 1, per one message.

GS1 DataBar Up to maximum of 1 GS1 DataBar, per one message.

Code 128 Up to maximum of 1 Code 128, per one message.

In case that a bar code of the same kind was Set at adjacent print items

Two of the bar code are not handled a series of barcode. Each bar code is handled as an independent bar codes.

Char. size : 12×16 Bar code : none

● When changing the bar code, the top-right coordinate of the print item can go over the limit of coordinate.

Should the top-right of the print item go beyond the limit of horizontal (X) coordinate, it will be

automatically adjusted to horizontal (X) coordinate=31999.

Char. size : 12×16 Bar code : Code39

Horizontal (X) coordinate = 31961

Horizontal (X) coordinate = 31920

horizontal (X) coordinate = 31999

4.8.6 Cautions for printing overlapped some print items

● If multiple numbers of print items are overlapped, the printing may be aborted depending on the number of print items or characters because it requires time to create the print data while printing is in process.

In this case, the alarm “Free Layout Printing Disabled” occurs.

● Please first conduct print test at the free layout setting, and if the alarm “Free Layout Printing

Disabled” occurs, delete some print items which are overlapped, or decrease the value of ink drop

use setting.
