Introduction

About Torus 126, 380 and 500

The Torus 126, 380 and 500 printers are self-maintaining ink jet printers.
The design of the printer enables the printer to print high resolution text,
barcodes and graphics. These printers are easy to use and cost effective.

The126, 380 and 500 printers use the CLARiTY™ operator interface as a
standard. The interface is a part of the printer (that is you do not require to
connect the printers to an external Personal Computer (PC) for normal
operation). The icons in the interface provide easy navigation to the
operator. The Slave units do not have the interface.

An external PC is required only to configure the printer and download the
messages into the printer.

The auto-purging printhead makes sure that there is a consistent and high
quality code during the production period. This printhead does not use
more than the required amount of ink. The ink is supplied through non
pressurised, ink canisters that are installed in the canister chute which
make the printers easy to use and clean.

Print Area

The print area for the 126, 380 and 500 printers is shown in Table 1-1.

Note: The Torus 126, 380 and 500 printers are referred to as ‘printer’ in this
document.

Torus 126, 380 and 500 Operator Manual

Rev AB Equipment Safety Guidelines 2-3

Example:

Caution

Never turn off the printer by switching the AC power switch to the
Off (O) position. Before pressing the Off key, allow the printer to
complete the three and a half minute shutdown sequence. Failure in
following this procedure prevents the printer from drawing the ink
in the ink return line, back into the reservoir. This may cause the ink
to dry in the ink return line, resulting in problems when you turn the
printer on again.

Equipment Safety Guidelines

This section contains important safety guidelines pertaining to the
operation and handling of the printer and associated equipment.

Warning

Always observe the following safety guidelines when operating and
handling the printer and associated equipment.

All electrical wiring and connections must comply with
applicable local codes. Consult the appropriate
regulatory agency for further information.

Avoid Breathing Exhaust Vapors

During this operation, the printer releases fumes from
the printer exhaust tube. These fumes may be flammable
and cause a health hazard. Therefore, do not allow the
exhaust to be confined to an area that does not have
proper ventilation, or be located near a source of
ignition. Printer exhaust fumes are generally heavier
than air, so keep all sources of ignition away from low

Torus 126, 380 and 500 Operator Manual

2-4 Placement of the Printer

Rev AB

areas where fumes may travel or accumulate.
If, under any circumstances, the printer is to be kept in a place that lacks
proper ventilation, it is necessary to expel the printer exhaust to outside
air. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency concerned with the
emission permit and venting system requirements, before giving vent to
the printer exhaust into the outside air.

Note: A Vapor Exhaust Ducting Kit is available at Interactive Coding
Equipment.

Do Not Remove Warning Labels

Do not, under any circumstances, remove or obstruct
any warning, caution, or instruction labels present on
the printer.

Placement of the Printer

Warning

Do not place the printer in a hazardous location. Hazardous
locations might create an explosion, leading to personal injury.

Hazardous locations, as defined in the United States, are those areas that
may contain hazardous materials in a quantity sufficient to create an
explosion. These are defined in Article 500 of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70–1993.

Outside the United States, you must ensure compliance with all local
regulations regarding equipment placement in potentially hazardous
locations.

4-14 How to Get High Quality Print

Rev AB

How to Get High Quality Print

To get high quality print, make sure to move the products past the
printhead in a consistent method. For correct conveyor movement, refer to
the following guidelines:

• A high grip and flat belt conveyor with pack guidance is
recommended.

• Make sure that there is enough space between the products to get
correct print signals. This action prevents the products from not being
printed.

• Gravity roller conveyors are not recommended. The box speed and
spacing can change according to the product speed and weight.

• Powered roller conveyors can decrease the print quality. This type of
roller is not recommended for barcodes or high resolution graphic
applications.

• If the barcodes are required in the image, then an encoder must
measure accurately the speed of the product. This accuracy in the
speed measurement leads to best print performance.

The maximum and minimum conveyor speeds for Torus 126/380/500 are
shown in Table 4-5.

The most common causes for low quality of print are described below:

• Incorrect movement of the product past the printhead (for example
the use of gravity conveyors, roller conveyors)

• Dust or dirt blocking or deflecting jets

• Slippage of the product on the conveyor

• The distance between the face of the printhead and the printed surface
is not consistent. This difference is caused normally because of the
following reasons:

- The product guidance (product handling) is not enough.

- The product is distorted (for example, bent cardboard box).

Table 4-5: Conveyor Speeds

Torus 126, 380 and 500 Operator Manual

Rev AB Clean the Printhead 4-15

Note: To get high quality prints, the distance between the printhead and the
product must not be greater than 2mm (

Figure 4-16 on page 4-15). Use the

pack guidance on the conveying equipment to maintain this distance.

Note: The Delrin guide on the front side of the printer helps to protect the
printhead from any potential damage and to maintain the jetting distance to
the product.

Clean the Printhead

The 126/380/500 printhead does not require the operator to clean or
prime at normal intervals because this printer is an auto-purging printer.

If the print quality decreases, the A and B buttons on the printer provide
additional functions to clean the printer further (refer to Figure 4-17 on
page 4-16).

Box Distance < 2mm

Caution

Do not touch or remove the nozzle plate or the jetting face of the
printhead under any condition while you perform the procedures in
this section (refer to

Figure 4-18 on page 4-17 and Figure 4-19 on

page 4-18).

When you can see bands of missing print across the print, the quality of
the print has decreased and not acceptable standard. You must press
button A in this condition.

You can use the button for the following two purposes:

• Press the button for one second, then release to start the sequence of
controlled purge.

A small quantity of ink that removes the dirt from the jetting orifices is
purged through the printhead.

• Press and hold the button to activate a longer cleaning cycle. When
the cycle begins, release the button A.

Note: This cycle must be used when shorter operation to clean the printer
does not remove the blocks in the jets.

Figure 4-17: A and B Buttons

Torus 126, 380 and 500 Operator Manual

Rev AB Clean the Printhead 4-17

A larger quantity of ink that washes the printhead face is purged
through the printhead jets. Then an air blast is used to removes excess
ink.

Button 'B'

When you press the button 'B', the system uses the air to clear away any
contamination on the printhead faceplate.

Press and hold the button B for some seconds to clean the printhead
faceplate completely of any ink and dirt.

This method is best to remove any dirt following a visual inspection of the
printhead.

Basic Maintenance

When the printer is operated in dirty environments, the operator must
clean around the jetting face of the printer (refer to the Figure 4-19 on
page 4-18). This process maintains the efficiency of the ink return system.
The failure to perform this basic maintenance can cause the loss of ink.

Basic maintenance includes the removal of dirt that closes the clearance
between the nozzle plate and the front plate. This process must be
performed as necessary.

to clean the printhead by itself before every box. The filter life is increased
to the maximum if the printer is set to clean the printhead every tenth box.

Note: During the cleaning operations, the ink is returned to the ink reservoir and
used again.

If the printer operates in a very dirty environment, the self cleaning cycle
must be performed more number of times. This process maintains good
print quality and the long life of the printhead.

The printer includes a parameter with the name Prints per Cleaning Cycle
that you can configure. The parameter helps to set the self cleaning cycle
according to the factory environment. The default value is set at 10.
