With the PXR series, the amount of raw materials that affect the environment have been
reduced, and the guidelines as set forth in the RoHS directive as issued by the European
Union have been followed.

The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical

and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and

electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent

chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

Compliance with the RoHS Directive

The printer uses the stainless enclosure body that is sanitary, robust and rust resistant,
which conforms to the IP55 international safety standards for dust-proof, drip-proof
devices.

●

The ink pulled from the ink reservoir by the supply pump is set
to specified pressure by a regulator, and supplied to the nozzle.

●

The ink is ejected from the nozzle and is subjected to vibrations
by the piezoelectric device to create ink droplets.

●

The ink droplets are charged at the charge electrode to create
pixels.

●

When the charged ink droplets pass through the deflection
electrode, they will be deflected in the vertical direction in a
quantity determined by the traveling speed and amount of

chargesapplied to each droplet. As the object to be printed on

moves in horizontal direction by a conveyer, characters will be
printed.

●

The ink droplets that are not used for printing are caught by the
gutter and recovered into the main ink tank by the recovery
pump.

●

Ink used for printing is supplied from the main ink tank. Makeup
ink is also supplied to the main ink tank to keep the fluid density
constant. The inkjet printer runs best when maintaining optimum
density control.
