Safety Precautions

(Continued)

WARNING

Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device within 5 m of

the printer.

The ink and makeup ink 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 ink, remove 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 ink 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.

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 the outer covering.

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

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.

Never drain the ink or makeup ink waste solution into a public sewer

system.

Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.

Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly pulling,

or bending piping tubes.

Since the ink and makeup ink 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 ink enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

WARNING

Safety Precautions

(Continued)

While the printer is operating, do not look into the ink ejection hole in

the end of the print head.

nk or makeup ink may enter your eyes or mouth or soil your hands or clothing.

If any ink or makeup ink enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

Ensure that no welding operations are performed within 5 m of the

printer.

The welding current may flow to the control section in the printer and cause a

circuit board or printer malfunction. Also, the flame generated by welding may cause a fire.

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

Because ink or makeup ink may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup ink 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 ON/OFF power switch to turn off the power.

The printer must be managed in compliance with all appropriate regulations.

Read and understand the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before

using any ink or makeup ink.

Only use Hitachi-approved consumables and periodic replacement parts.

Using products that are not designated by Hitachi may lead to malfunction or failure. Such malfunction or failure will not be covered by the warranty.

WARNING

When charging a refill of ink or makeup ink, exchanging ink, or otherwise handling ink or makeup ink, take enough care not to spill ink or makeup ink. If you spill any ink or makeup ink 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 ink inside the printer and it is not completely dry. Why? Because vapors of ink or makeup ink will stay inside the printer and may catch on or cause a fire.

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

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

Attempting to clean it when energized will cause makeup ink or vapors of makeup ink 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 ink has entered and no vapors stay inside.

Should you find a leak of ink or makeup ink 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.

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

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.

CAUTION

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

If the printer is operated or serviced incorrectly, it may malfunction or break down.

Do not attempt to make repairs for any purpose other than operation or

maintenance.

Since the ink and makeup ink contain organic solvents, observe the

following handling precautions.

Secure adequate space for the ink/makeup ink handling area and printer installation site. At least 200 m

must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. When handling the ink or makeup ink, wear protective gloves and safety goggles to avoid direct skin contact. If the ink or makeup ink comes into contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and warm or cold water. When transferring the ink or makeup ink 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 ethyl alcohol. Notice that there is a possibility that a cap and a content may fly with inner pressure when opening the container of ink and a solvent. Please open a cap of container an even place.

（

）

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

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.

Safety Precautions

(Continued)

CAUTION

Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply

with applicable codes. Properly connect the printer to its dedicated ground.

Complete the above procedure to avoid electrical shock hazards.

1.2 Usage Precautions

(1) Ink and makeup ink replenishment

The printer employs an automatic ink/makeup ink replenishment system. While the printer is operated, the ink reservoir automatically supplies the ink and the makeup ink reservoir automatically supplies the makeup ink to the ink main tank at regular intervals. If the ink or makeup ink replenisher level is too low, an alarm is issued. In such an instance, effect replenishment without delay. (For the replenishment procedures, see Section 7.3, Ink Replenishment , and Section 7.4, Makeup ink Replenishment.)

(2) Ink periodic replacement

For the replacement procedure, see Section 7.5, Ink Replacement.

While the IJ printer ink circulates for operations, it reacts with atmospheric air

elements and deteriorates with time. Therefore, it needs periodic replacement. The table below furnishes a guide for determining the proper replacement intervals. However, since the proper replacement intervals vary with the printer operating environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.), determine the best replacement intervals in accordance with the obtained printings, and replace all ink within the printer with new ink.

The ink which you can use differs with areas. Please confirm ink which you can use to each area's distributors.

Notice

1-4 ● Usage Precautions

(3) Storage precautions

Store the ink and makeup ink in a cold dark place (0 to 20℃). (Observe this rule no matter whether tanks are unsealed or not.)

The storage validity period is predefined for the ink and makeup ink. Begin to use the ink/makeup ink before the "Expiration date" (「開封期限」) date arrives. Once an ink bottle is opened, even if it is stored, the bottled ink begins to deteriorate in the same manner as the ink in the printer. If the above-indicated "approximate elapsed days" limit is exceeded, discard the bottle of ink. (When an ink bottle is opened, indicate the date of opening on the bottle's label for proper management purposes.) The makeup ink must be added to the printer within one year after opening the

tank. Note that the makeup ink added to the printer needs no replacement.

● Usage Precautions 1-5

Handling precautions

a. When you use the JP-K31A, JP-K60, JP-F63, JP-K68, JP-K70, JP-T71,

JP-K77, JP-E78 or JP-K84 ink, you must complete the print head air-purge

procedure without regard to the humidity predominating in the employed environment.

(See Section 1.2.6, "Print head air purge".)

b. (1) The JP-K31A, JP-K60, JP-K69 and JP-K84 inks employ carbon black as

the pigment.

If an excess electrostatic charge alarm is issued when no ink or makeup ink is on the print head surface and ink drops are properly generated, it is conceivable that carbon black may be deposited on the print head surface. This may have been incurred by creeping leakage on the deflection electrode mounting surface. In such an instance, remove the deflection electrode from the printer head and wipe the entire mounting surface clean.

(2) The JP-K31A, JP-K60, JP-K69 and JP-K84 inks employ carbon black as

the pigment. Shake the ink bottle well before use.

c. The carbon black pigment of the JP-K31A may cohere depending on the

employed environment. For enhanced pigment stability, you should perform the following maintenance programs.

¡Replace the main ink tank on a periodic basis (at intervals of about 2400

operating hours). When it needs replacement, contact your local service personnel.

¡Replace the stainless filter within the shutoff valve (MV9, mounted on the

print head) on a periodic basis (at intervals of about 2400 operating hours). When it needs replacement, contact your local service personnel.

d. If the dye of the JP-K60 comes into contact with the human body, it cannot

easily be removed. Exercise utmost caution to avoid skin contact with it.

e. The JP-K65, JP-R65 hardens if it is exposed to ultraviolet rays after printing.

Its hardenability varies with the printed matter material and surface condition (roughness and presence of deposits), printed matter temperature, time interval between printing completion and ultraviolet radiation, employed ultraviolet radiation device, and other factors. You should confirm the ink hardenability under the employed operating conditions.

Typical hardening conditions

Lamp type Metal halide lamp (2kW) Lamp light emission length 250mm (80W/cm) Radiation distance 150mm Radiation time 15seconds

If ink sticks to the end of the nozzle, the ink stream will be bent, the nozzle may be clogged, or printing disorder may be caused. Before ejection, apply the makeup ink to the orifice plate to wash it.

f. If JP-F63 has been deteriorated by light (corresponding to the irradiation of

sunlight for one month or more), light emission by ultra violet rays becomes difficult. However, this condition can be improved into a light emission enable status by applying a regenerating liquid (type: RF-B1, code No.: 451520).

g. The JP-B27 require to replace the stainless filter within the shutoff valve

(MV9, mounted on the print head) on a periodic basis (at intervals of about

2400 operating hours). When it needs replacement, contact your local

service personnel.

h. Differences in JP-Y37 and cautions on use

The JP-Y37 ink uses organic color whose specific gravity is low for pigment.

It can be used in the same way as dye ink when periodical maintenance is performed. (1) Cautions during normal operation

Caution during maintenance

Shake the ink bottle well until all precipitated pigment is dispersed. (See "7.3 Ink replenishment" and "7.5 Ink replacement".)

(See "1.3 Component names and functions") Referring to "7.5 Ink replacement", drain the ink from ink reservoir, and check to see if there is any sediment at the bottom of ink reservoir. If there is any sediment, pour the makeup ink on the sediment in ink reservoir to wash it out. (Also wash the inside of ink reservoir with the makeup ink.) Drain the makeup ink after washing, and charge new ink.

(See "1.3 Component names and functions")

Check to see if there is any sediment at the bottom of ink reservoir. (A dark yellow substance at the bottom of tank can be judged as sediment.) If sediment is found and "7.16 Draining the Ink from the Main Ink Tank" is not possible (the flow from drain tube cannot be confirmed), execute the long-term shutdown process, referring to "7.15 Long-term Shutdown", and remove the sediment. If the sediment cannot be removed, replace the main ink tank. When replacing the main ink tank, contact your local distributor.

(2) Caution when continuously injecting ink:

When ink is continuously injected, it even once a day for more than a month, perform the circulation of ink without interruption at least once a month, referring to "7. Circulation System Operating and Adjustment Procedures", in order to prevent sediment of ink accumulating in print head cable tube.(No printing can be performed while "Ink Circulation" is being executed.)

(3) Other cautions

If the nozzle or gutter is dried by mistake and ink is stuck to it, and it cannot be recovered by solvent washing with makeup ink, immerse nozzle or gutter in household detergent of approx. 0.5% and wash in an ultrasonic washer for approx. 10 minutes. The stuck ink will be loosened and can then be removed. When using the printer in an environment where the humidity is more than 85%, the amount of sediment may increase. Perform air purge (see "1.2.6 Print head air purge").

● Usage Precautions 1-7

i. JP-T71 and JP-T75 will change color if retorting processing (heating with hot

water or steam) is done after printing. Since water is necessary for change of color, the change will not occur if heating is done with hot air. Be sure to perform ex ante evaluation for color changeability. Degree of change will vary depending on the conditions of printing matter, retorting device or retort processing. Confirm the change in the condition being used. (1) Items to be checked befor using:

Change of color

CAUTION

(1)Change of color is caused by element seeping as a result of boiling or

use of condensed steam.

(2)Water is necessary for change of color. No change of color will occur if

heating is done with hot air.

(3)Reference condition for change of color by heating with steam is 120℃

for 20 minutes. However, if stream of steam in retorting device is not sufficient, change of color may not occur, or color may change unevenly. And the degree of change may vary depending on the position inside the device, retort food, canned content or contents of printed matter.

(4)Reference condition for change of color by heating with boiled water is

100 ℃ for 20 minutes. However, seeped dye may stain, color blur may occur or poor change of color may occur, due to uneven temperature inside retorting device, flow or retention of hot water on printed surface. And the degree of change may vary depending on the position inside the device, retort food, canned content, surface tempurature of can or contents of printed matter.

(5)Change of color does not guarantee that sterilization has been perfectly

performed, nor does the case when color does not change always indicate that heating has not been performed.

(6)Change of color tone will vary depending on material of printed matter,

shape, surface condition and hue. Especially, when printing is done with dark color, change may not be clearly indicated.

(1)Change of color is caused by seeping of dye. So, in cause before

change of color, the elution test standard for appliance and container specified by food hygiene law will not be satisfied. However, the standard will be satisfied after change of color: If used for food container, be sure to confirm change of color. (JP-T71)

Boiling,

condensed water

j. Caution of JP-K77, JP-K81 and JP-K86

(1) When handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill ink or makeup.

If you spill any ink or makeup by accident, wipe it off completely and promptly

with wiping paper or something similar.

Be sure to close the maintenance cover after the portion where you wiped is completely dry, because vapors of ink or makeup staying inside the printer may catch on or cause a fire.

(2) Never remodel the printer. (3) Never let the printer run is case the cooling fan is not working. (4) Acetone is used as solvent for JP-K77, JP-K81 and JP-K86. Acetone has

characteristics of high vapor pressure (evaporable) compared with MEK, so take care to with the following:

･ Reference period for long-term shutdown will be shorter. Operate printer

within the reference period periodically, or perform maintenance work for long-term shutdown if shut-down time exceeds reference period. If the printer is shut down longer than reference time, re-start may not be possible due to settling of remaining ink component.

K. Caution of JP-E78

(1) If printed mark is boiled or soaked in water, printed characters may fade. (2) Do not charge JP-E78 to a printer in which any other type of ink has been

used: Ink components may mix before printing.

1-8 ● Usage Precautions

In the case where the operation of the IJ printer is irregular (the IJ printer is shut down for a few weeks in a row, for instance) in conjunction with production and so on, there is a possibility of occurrence of a problem such as no ink ejecting when operating the printer or no recovery possible due to accretion of the ink inside the printer. The period of possible shutdown is different according to the temperature of the storage as described in the table below. When you are to use the printer in such a manner, it is necessary to operate it (eject the ink) regularly within an estimatedperiod of possible shutdown or perform storage work for the long-term shutdown. (The storage work for the long-term shutdown is to drain the ink in the ink circulation system and refill it with the makeup ink, which requires a specific operation on a restart. See "7.15 Long-term shutdown" for details.) Moreover, in the case of operating it regularly, note that the time necessary for operating it once is different according to the ink to be used and ambient temperature of the place for the operation. (It is different depending on major components of a solvent of the ink.)

It is necessary to operate it at least once during this period.

*2: The values in the table indicate the case of an MEK-based ink.

See "1.2.5 Cautions on operating time when printer is in service" for the case of an ethanol-based ink.

*3: JP-K77, JP-K81 and JP-K86 ink. See "1.2.1(4) j Caution of JP-K77, JP-K81 and

JP-K86".

Even if the treatment for long-term shutdown has been performed, restart may not succeed due to accretion of ink components. Ask your serviceman for restart whenever possible. (In cases where temperature in the storage place is high [30℃ or higher], or shutdown period has exceeded six months, be sure to ask your serviceman for restart.)

CAUTION

● Usage Precautions 1-9

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

It is necessary to wipe and dry the nozzle, charging electrode, deflecting

electrode, mounting base and fringe of the gutter.

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

If you use the JP-K60, JP-F63,JP-K68, JP-E78 ink,you must allow the

printhead to dry firmly before running because the ink is not easy to dry.

Never immerse the print head in the makeup ink.

2 3

Cleaning with the makeup ink should be limited to the end of the print head. To clean the end of the print head with the makeup ink, orient the end of the print head downward.

1.2.3 Print head cleaning

Nozzle

Do not pour the makeup ink over this section.

Cleaning range

Deflecting electrode

Gutter

Do not pour the makeup ink over this section.

Charging electrode

Wipe the print head clean with wiping paper dampened with the makeup ink.

When a print error or emergency stop occurs, refer to 8. "If a Warning Condition/ Fault Occurs".

Regarding cleaning at a shutdown, refer to 2.2 "Shutdown".

The stain due to ink splashes can be removed effectively by performing air purge for the print head. Refer to

1.2.6 "Print head air purge".

1-10 ● Usage Precautions

When printing is frequently performed or an space between the print material and the print head is small, ink splashes may stain the end of the print head and the print head cover. If this condition is left as it is, 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 that is in progress and clean the end of the print head and the print head cover. Do this in addition to the cleaning to be performed at the end of each daily work.

Since charging and deflecting electrodes and a gutter are provided inside the print head, if highly conductive carbon black settles on the print head mounting base (made of insulating material), leakage can occur between these electrodes resulting in frequent recurrence of errors. It is, therefore, important to clean inside the print head whenever stains are detected.

After the operation is completed, sprinkle the makeup ink on the orifice plate, the charging electrode, the deflecting electrodes, the gutter and the mounting base, and then clean them using the cleaning pin.

Clean carbon black and makeup ink off the parts (including the mounting base) using paper wipers and let the parts dry themselves in the ambient temperature.

In the case where an abnormality arises in the operation after the above work, there is a possibility that carbon black still remains on the surface of the mounting base and creepage is caused. In this case, remove the plus deflecting electrode, and wipe the mounting surface clean with wipe paper to which an makeup ink is applied. In addition, remove the charging electrode, and wipe the orifice plate surface clean likewise.

*1: Do not use the Shut down key to stop an operation more than two

successive times.

*2: If you stop an operation with the No-cleaning stop key, immediately

initiate ink ejection. If such a condition is allowed to continue, the nozzle may become stuck with the ink, causing the ink beam to be bent or the nozzle to be clogged. Accordingly, apply the makeup ink to the orifice plate to wash it within 30 minutes after a stop, and then cause ink to eject once again.

When you press the Shut down key on the upper right-hand corner of a

screen, the printer stops after completing its automatic nozzle cleaning

sequence. If you repeatedly activate the Shut down key to stop an operation,

excessive makeup ink enters the printer, thereby thinning the ink or producing

an unduly high ink main tank solution level. If it is absolutely necessary to

repeatedly stop a printer operation, use the following procedure.

● Usage Precautions 1-13

(1) Situations requiring an air purge

When the printer is used in a highly humid place such as a beer or other

beverage can line (If you use the printer in an environment in which the relative humidity is 85% or higher, complete the print head air-purge

procedure). When a water drainage blow sequence is performed before printing. When the printer is used in a place where a considerable amount of paper

powder or other dust exists. When the printing distance is short so that the end of the print head is

splashed with ink.

When you use the JP-K31A, JP-K60, JP-F63,JP-K68, JP-K70, JP-T71,

JP-K77, JP-E78, JP-K84 ink.

(2) Air-purging procedure

Introduce clean dry air into the print head air purge connection port (Rc 1/8 (PT 1/8)×screw) in the rear of the printer main body at a pressure of about 0.2 to 0.4 MPa. If it is possible that the employed air tanks oil or water, turn it into clean dry air with an air filter, micro-mist separator, or the like before introducing it into the printer main body.

If the air-purge amount is excessive, print irregularities may occur. After air-purge pressure adjustment, be sure to perform a printing test to verify the printing results.

1.2.6 Print head air purge

2 3

If the makeup ink remains in the electrode section after cleaning or if you use the IJ printer at a high humidity, moisture condensation may occur within the print head, causing leakage from the deflection electrode section. It is also important to remember that dust or splashed ink accumulation on the deflection electrode section may cause leakage. Performing the following air purge procedure for the print head interior is effective in preventing such leakage.

1-14 ● Usage Precautions

If the ink is not heated at low temerature, the IJ printer may not be able to print

satisfactorily. When this failure happened, you must establish the excitation voltage again according to "7.13 Excitation Setting Adjustment".

(1) If ambient temperature is under approximately 20℃, the ink is heated by heating

unit which established in print head.

If the heating carried out, the time of startup process is prolonged.

Non-heating : approximately 1.5 minutes Heating : maximum approximately 10 minutes. (changed by ambient

temperature)

(2) If fault of heating unit happens, take care of the following items.

If fault of heating unit happens, the message of "Ink Heating too High" , "Heating Unit Sensor Fault" and "Ink Heating Current Fault" are displaied, and then the IJ printer becomes to stop. If you pushed Clear key, the IJ printer can be operated. However, the IJ printer don't heat the ink since reset. If "ink non-heating" state is established, the following message allways indicates. Push the Close key, and then contact your local distributor.

1.2.7 Heating of ink

＝＝＝＝＝ Ink Temperature Correction Notice ＝＝＝＝＝

1.2.8 Ink concentration control

＝＝＝＝＝ No Ink Concentration Control ＝＝＝＝＝

The current setting have made ink concentration control unavailable. Solution Press [Close].

(1) Ink is automatically controlled to maintain optimum concentration for print.

(2) If fault occurs in the viscosity meter which is used to control ink concentration,

take care of the following points:

There are three types of faults for viscometer: "Viscometer Temperature Sensor Fault", "Viscosity Reading Instability", and "Viscosity Readings Out of Range". When "Viscometer Temperature Sensor Fault" occurs, the unit will enter fault stop. Re-start is possible by pressing Clear key, but the setting will be changed to status in which the ink concentration control based on the measuring result using 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 Close key, and be sure to inform nearest your local distributor.

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

● Usage Precautions 1-15

1.2.9 Gutter cleaning

1.2.10 Protection Sheet for touch panel

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 ink in the gutter, undissolved components by the ink or makeup ink may stick to the gutter. If the system is run for 24 consecutive hours without automatic cleaning, these components get accumulated gradually in the gutter. This, together with the ink beam coming into contact with it, may cause such errors as "an error stemming from a dirty head."

If any such component sticks to the gutter, immerse it in a solution of about 0.5% household dish detergent and clean it for about 10 minutes with an ultrasonic cleaner. The dirt can then be removed.

(1) Installation of Protection Sheet

Clean up stains, dirt, ink spots on the surface of the touch panel. Sweep the touch panel using wiping paper steeped by water or make-up ink.

*Make sure the surface of the touch panel dry.

Tear off the back-coat film of the Protection Sheet.

*Keep the back of sheet clean.

As in the drawing, insert the touch panel protection sheet by two points on the underside into the IJ printer proper, and affix it to the touch panel with the fold facing up.

(See figure)

(2) Suggestion for good use

● Do not splash ink and make-up ink on the touch panel. Sweep immediately when sticking.

● If touch panel protection sheet is not attached correctly, key operation may not be

possible.

Insert these points into the between operation-panel and touch panel.

(5) The IJ printer main body must be electrically insulated from

the other equipment

(conveyors, packing machines,etc.), photoelectric switches,

and the rotary encoder.

(6) The standard distance between the printing head and the

object to be printed on is as indicated in the right-hand table.

The smaller the clearance between the print head and print

target, the smaller the character height.

(7) The IJ printer proper requires maintenance as the occasion

may demand including replenishment of ink and makeup ink and replacement of filter.

Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device within 5 m of the printer.

The ink and makeup ink are both flammable and may cause ignition or fire. Flames 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 ink, remove electricity from human body, the peripheral equipment, and so on. In the interests of safety, furnish a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the printer.

Since the ink and makeup ink contain organic solvents, install the printer at a location where adequate ventilation (air exhaust) is provided.

1 Never install the printer in an enclosed space. 2 Connect the printer to exhaust equipment in order to prevent the

organic solvent vapor from being retained.

WARNING

CAUTION

1.4 Installing Precautions

The employed ink and makeup ink contain organic solvents. Furnish an adequate space for the ink/makeup ink handling area and printer installation site. A space of at least 200 m

must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. Follow all regulation in your country.

(1) Provide a clearance around the IJ printer for daily

operation, handling, and maintenance access (see the figure at right).

(2) The print head needs to be cleaned with the makeup ink

while the printer is operated and stopped (daily maintenance). Adopt a fixed structure in consideration of print head cover and print head removal.

(3) Installation must be completed so that no vibration will be

applied to the IJ printer main body, print head, or print head cable. If they are vibrated, print quality deterioration and print irregularity may be incurred (the maximum permissible vibration value is 1.96m/s

(12) The ink stream may bend for some reason or other (due, for instance, to dirt).

The facilities positioned in the direction of ink ejection should be partially covered as needed to avoid ink accumulation.

(13) When connecting an exhaust duct to the printer, install a damper and adjust the wind

velocity at the intake port to 0.3 to 0.5 m/s. (Use an anemometer for verification. If the wind velocity is too high, the makeup ink consumption increases.)

Exhaust duct

Connect a duct to this port (50 mm in diameter).

● Installing Precautions 1-21

(14) If you try to fix the print head with a magnetic substance (such as iron), the cover

switch will malfunction resulting in an "Cover Open" error.

This, you must only use nonmagnetic resins or metals for fixing the print head.

(15) In the case of carrying the printer proper, put in your hands from the direction of

the arrow in the drawing below.

1-22 ● Connection of signals

1.5.1 Wiring Precautions

(1) If extraneous noise enters the printer, it may abnormally operate or become defective.

For increased noised immunity, observe the following precautions when making wiring connections.

1 Ensure that the power supply cable connected to the printer is positioned away

from the other motive power supply lines (particularly the speed control inverter power supply line). For best results, they should be routed within respective ducts.

2 Do not bundle the interlock wiring together with the other motive power lines.

Be sure that they are routed separately.

3 Electrically insulate the print target detector, print head, stand, and printer main

body from the other mechanical devices (conveyors, etc.).

4 Ensure that the print target detector wiring is positioned away from the other

motive power supply lines.

5 Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply with

applicable codes. (A dedicated ground should be provided if erratic operations

are caused by noise or the like.)

The IJ printer operates with its ink particles electrically charged. Therefore, a signal

(weak current) ground and frame ground are connected to it.

+++

Signal ground

Nozzle

Column of ink

Charge electrode

Consequently, when a large current (e.g., welder welding current) flows in from the outside via the frame ground, it also flows to the signal ground and may damage the printed circuit boards. Therefore, when conducting welding operations near the IJ printer (there must be no flame or arc within 5m of the printer), use the following method.

Insulate the main frame of the IJ printer, print head unit, and print target detector body from the conveyor and earth ground, and provide one-point grounding for the IJ printer ground terminal only. When this method is employed, welding operations can be conducted even while the IJ printer is running.

Print head unit

Stand (optional)

To be insulated by an insulation

Welding precautions

Ink drops are charged when a voltage is applied between the charge electrode and ink column as indicated at left. Therefore, the ink is always the signal ground. Further, since the ink is connected to the frame ground via the circulation path retainers and the like, it is difficult to separate the signal ground from the frame ground.

Principles of charging

WARNING

Keep flames at least 5m away from the machine.

The ink and makeup ink are both flammable. Flames geherated by welders may cause ignition or fire. Ensure adequate uentitation in order to not into the fire within 5m of the printer in printing or no-printing. In the interest of safety, fumish a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the printer.

1.5.3-1 Ready output signal

The following describes the wiring of the signal that is outputted to the outside for the purpose of indicating that the IJ printer is ready state. (To prevent a print target from traveling without being printed, this signal is used, for instance, to stop the conveyor when the IJ printer cannot perform printing.) When this signal is connected, set the ready output switch to 3. (See Section 1.5.4, Using the Ready Output Selector Switch).

(a) When using the NO contact (make contact)

1.5.3 Connection of various signal

(b) When using the NC contact (break contact)

For both the NO and NC contacts, the maximum capacity is 30 VAC/0.5 A or 30 VDC / 1 A. If any load having a greater capacity is used, furnish a separate relay in between. Further, if a motor, relay, or other inductive load is employed, a counterelectromotive force may be generated to reduce the useful contact life. Therefore, be sure to provide contact protection. Typical contact protection methods are indicated below.

1.5.3-4 Print target detector

(a) When a dedicated power supply is not used

If the print target detector current consumption is not more than 80 mA, no dedicated power supply is required because adequate power can be supplied from the IJ printer built-in power supply. In such a situation, make wiring connections and perform setup as indicated below.

(i) Print target detector wiring method

Use a print target detector whose output is of a noncontact (transistor) type. The best suited detector would be an amplifier-incorporated photoelectric sensor that uses an optical beam for print target detection.

(ii) Print target detector specifications

Normal Character width increased

When the rotary encoder is used, you cannot change the IJ printer character width. If it

is necessary to change the character width, you have to install an appropriate device that will permit you to vary the ratio between the conveyor speed and rotary encoder speed synchronization signal pulse count.

The number of speed synchronization signal pulses from the rotary encoder is dependent on the printing scan count and pulse rate division factor and calculated using the following equation.

Number of speed synchronization signal pulses[kHz]

The pulse rate division factor (l/n) must be set up from the print specifications screen. (See Section 3.4, Setting Character Height and Character Orientation).

If the calculation result derived from Equation 2 is smaller than the printing scan count

maximum value (Equation 1), the product speed matching feature does not work normally so that the character width is increased. In such an instance, lower the conveyor maximum speed as needed so that the printing scan count maximum value is smaller than the calculation result of Equation 2.

(Cautions)

(1) When using key inputs, you must check each input. However, when inputting external

signals, the equipment executes processing in accordance with instructions of these signals. In particular, the "operation" (operation signal) instructs an ink jet. So take extreme care in handling this signal.

(2) When the confirmation window appears, every remote signal input is invalidated. After

closing the confirmation window, input each signal once again.

When Line monitor is displayed, all remote operation signals will be disabled.

(3) When each of the touch screen setup screen and the circulation control screens

appears, every remote operation signal input is invalidated. After displaying a different screen, input each signal once again.

(4) When the conveyor is stopped during printing by using the rotary encoder, the remote

operation signal is valid.

(5) In the case of inputting a stop signal while the fault window is open, the ink stops with

the window remaining open.

(b-3) "Fault clear signal"

1 Input this signal when the fault signal is ON.

After inputting the signal, make sure that "Fault" has been cleared.

1 The "operation signal" is an instruction signal that automatically causes operations to

be performed up to an ink jet. 2 If the "operation signal" is turned on during ink stop processing, it will be ignored. 3 Turn on the "operation signal" after the lapse of 30 seconds or more after turning on

the power supply of the IJ printer.

After making sure that "Fault" has been cleared, input the signal.

The time from turning on the "operation signal" till a print enable status is about 2

minutes.

Even if you perform the above ink ejection procedure with the print head cover installed, the printer does become ready for printing (but goes into the standby state).

When the following setup ( 1 - 3 ) is employed, the printing method is

automatically switched to the single scan control. You should bear in mind that the print quality varies with the employed printing method particularly when the ink drop use percentage is 1/1 or 1/2. To determine which printing method is currently selected, view the printing specifications screen.

1 When differing print formats are designated for some or all setup items 2 When differing line count settings are employed for some or all columns 3 The ink drop use percentage is changed to 1/5 to 1/16.

Perform the following setup to make prints by the printing method of line

spacing control (interlaced).

1 Ensure that the same print format is employed for all items. 2 Ensure that the same line count setting is employed for all columns. 3 The ink drop use percentage is 1/1 to 1/4.

Perform overall column setup. The format for the first item is then

applied to all the other items so as to provide line spacing control setup. When making a 1-line print, the single scan control predominates even if you perform steps 1 through 3 .

*1. With wiping paper, thoroughly wipe the makeup ink away from the parts

(mounting base included) surfaces and allow them to dry.

*2. The "nozzle rubber seal" is effective in assuring orifice plate dryness and

preventing dust buildup. For increased smoothness in later printer startup, it is recommended that you install the "nozzle rubber seal" between the orifice plate and charge electrode while the printer is inactive. (Refer to the next page.)

Complete the ink stop process by performing the following steps. If you turn OFF

the power without performing the ink stop process, the operation management information (ink operating time and print count) and count update will not be stored into memory. When the count function is in use, it is necessary to set the count update (initial value) again at the time of power ON.

Entering a stop signal will execute the same action. (See Section 1.5.3-5, "Printing stop signal.)

● Shutdown 2-11

Install the print head cover.

Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn OFF the power.

If the print head cover is dirty, apply the makeup ink and clean it.

* 1 Clean the portion which became dirty with a splatter on printing or a

splash on ejecting the ink.

* 2 After cleaning, wipe away the makeup ink by using wiping paper.

When wiping the inside of the cover, wipe it by holding the wiping paper with tweezers.

2. The "nozzle rubber seal" is effective in preventing orifice plate drying and dust accumulation. When shutting down the printer, it is recommended that you set the nozzle rubber seal between the orifice plate and charge electrode to assure smoothness in the next printer startup.

Usage precautions

1 When storing the nozzle rubber seal, place it in a vinyl bag or the

like to prevent it from collecting dirt and dust.

2 Before setting the nozzle rubber seal in position, be sure to clean

it with the makeup ink.

3 When installing the nozzle rubber seal, exercise care not to

deform the charge electrode.

1. To prevent nozzle orifice plate drying and dust accumulation during printer transit and storage, a "nozzle rubber seal" has been incorporated at the factory prior to shipment. Remove the "nozzle rubber seal" at the time of printer installation/test run/adjustment.
