Boxes

The Kodak Prosper S10 Printer is a module of the Kodak Prosper S10
Imprinting System, that accepts data in bitmap format as input an d makes
printed images on a substrate, as output. Images can have fixed text,
variable text, and graphics. The substrate can be a continuous web or
separate pieces of material. The S10 Printer has these components:

• Kodak Prosper S10 Print Station

• Umbilical (one per PIC box)

• Kodak Prosper S10 PIC Box (one per jetting module)

• Kodak Prosper S10 Jetting Module (one per PIC box)

The print station (Figure 1) includes power distribution, a fluid system,
vacuum system, and a control and monitoring system. Each print station
controls one or two PIC boxes. The system contro ller is the oper ator
interface for the print station.

Components in the print station supply ink pressure and vacuum for the
jetting module. The fluid system sends ink, fluids, and control signals
through the umbilical to the jetting module. The umbilical is a flexible,
insulated housing that contains fluid lines, power and signal cables, and
one fiber optic cable.

Operator’s Guide 9

Chapter 1. Overview

Operator Procedures

Operator Procedures

Power Distribution

The operator can do these procedures at the print station and PIC boxes:

• Turn power on and off

• Clean the PIC boxes

• Replace external ink, replenisher, storage, and waste fluid containers

• Replace some filters

The input power for the print station is supplied through a power cord to a
bulkhead power connector/Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) filter.
From the power plug/EMI filter, the input power is connected to a circuit
breaker. The circuit breaker has two functions:

• On/Off switch

• Electrical protection

Fluid System

The Prosper S10 fluid system is used for these functions:

• Supply ink and replenisher fluids to the ink tank and storage fluid

to the storage fluid tank.

• Heat/cool the ink supplied to the PIC box/jetting module.

• Circulate ink or storage fluids between the print station and the

PIC box/jetting module.

• Remove waste fluid from the system.

These fluids are used for printing and maintenance of th e printing system:

• Kodak Prosper S10-0010 Pigment Black Ink

• Kodak Prosper S10-0011 Replenisher Fluid

• Kodak Prosper S10-0012 Storage Fluid

The operator will replace only external fluid containers. Contact a Kodak
service technician for maintenance on the intern al flu i d tanks and
components.

Ink

The external ink supply container is connected by a fluid line to a fitting on
the rear of the print station. The ink container is usually a 5 gallo n (20 liter)
container or 55 gal. (208 L) drum. The ink type data is sent to the printer
by the ink card, that is put into the smart card reader behind the print
station front door.

10 Kodak Prosper S10 Printer

Chapter 1. Overview

Fluid System

Smart Card Reader

The print station gets ink dat a from the smart card rea der, which it uses to
implement the Ink Compatibility Assurance Program (ICAP). The ink card,
supplied with each ink container, inputs the data into the control and
monitoring system. The primary function of the ink card is to track/monitor
ink use and make sure that only approved ink is used in the print station.
The ink card inputs this ink data:

• Type

•Container Size

• Batch Number

• Date of Manufacture

• Expiration Date

The ICAP system uses the data from the ink card and the flow meter
output to monitor fluid use. The ink card inputs the container size into the
control and monitoring system. As the flow meter monitors ink usage, the
system records when the ink supply will run out (based on the flow meter
data), and alerts the opera tor at the system controller. The ink card can be
recycled to a local recycling system after it has been used.

Ink Card Messages

These ink card messages are related to the ink card and/or smart card
reader and are shown on the system controller:

• CARD VOLUME EMPTY—The control and monitoring system
senses that the ink supply is gone.

• INK CARD NOT INSTALLED—The control and monitoring
system does not sense an ink card in the smart card reader.

• INCORRECT INK ATTACHED—The ink data input from the ink
card does not match the ink selected by the operator on the
system controller.

• INK SHELF LIFE EXPIRED—The ink expiration date has passed.

• INK FILL WARNING—The control and monitoring system senses
these three conditions:

• Flow meter FS1 does not sense fluid flow

• Ink fill valve V22 is open

• Vacuum pump P2 is operational

• CARD NOT READABLE—The control and monitoring system
cannot access/read the ink card installed in the smart card
reader.

Replenisher Fluid

Replenisher fluid dilutes the ink so that the ink matches the data from the
ink card. The replenisher fluid supply cont ainer is connected by a fluid line
to a fitting on the rear of the print station. The replenisher fluid container
usually is a 5 gal. (20 L) container or 55 gal. (208 L) drum. The
replenisher fluid moves through an inline filter to the replenisher fluid fill
valve and then into the ink tank.

Operator’s Guide 11

Chapter 1. Overview

Vacuum System

Vacuum System

Storage Fluid

Storage fluid is used to purge (clean) the printing system. The storage
fluid supply container is connected by a fluid line to a fitting on the rear of
the print station. The storage fluid container is usually a 5 gal. (20 L)
container. The storage fluid moves through an in-line filter to the storage
fluid fill valve and then into the storage fluid tank.

Waste Fluid

Waste fluid from system opera tions is collecte d in an inte rnal t a nk. A float
switch in the internal tank sends a signal to the waste pump to move the
fluid to an external container. The external waste container is usually a
15 gal. (56.8 L) or 55 gal. (208 L) drum.

The vacuum system has a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controller,
vacuum pump and its related components of a mist filter, vacuum drying
valve, vacuum bleed valve, fluid tanks, and interconnecting fluid lines.
The vacuum system is used to pull fluids into the print station from the
external fluid containers and to assist in the circulation of fluid between
the print station and the PIC box/jetting module.

Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the vacuum
system.

Ink Temperature Control System

The ink temperature control system is used to heat/cool the ink so that it
maintains a temperature of 86°F ± 9°F (30°C ± 5°C). The system has a
power supply, thermoelectric control Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and
thermoelectric heating/cooling module.

Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the ink
temperature control system.

Control and Monitoring System

The control and monitoring system is made up of PCBs. The PCBs
monitor signals from the transducers and sensors in the fluid system.
These components give control signals to the different valves and pumps.
The state of the control signals is dependent on commands from the
software, input from the system controller, or input from transducers and
sensors.

12 Kodak Prosper S10 Printer

Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the cont rol and
monitoring system.

Umbilical

Prosper S10 PIC Box

Chapter 1. Overview

Umbilical

The umbilical is a flexible, insulated housing that contains fluid lines,
power and signal cables, and one fiber optic cable. There can be one or
two umbilicals for each print station. One umbilical connects the print
station to one PIC box.

An umbilical has ink, storage, duct drain, catcher, and cross flush fluid
lines. There are three electrical cables: an 8-position data
communications cable (for the PIC data PCB), a 6-position data
communications cable (for the PIC fluid control PCB), and a power cable
(for the PIC fluid PCB). The fiber optic cable carries the print data (RIP)
from the data station to the jetting module. Each umbilical is 40 feet
(12.2 meters) long.

Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the umbilical.

The PIC box has two major assemblies: the Electronic Printhead Interface
Controller (E-PIC) and the Air Control Module (ACM). The E-PIC has
many assemblies contained in a frame. The ACM is one complete
assembly.

The PIC box has a top cover that shields and protects the umbilical
connections, printhead air filter, and dry shutdown valve (vacuum bleed)
filter. The cover is mounted over the handle/umbilical bracket. The handle
is used to carry the PIC box and the umbilical bracket is used to secure
the umbilical to the PIC box.

The PIC box has a 3-sided cover that goes over the downstream side of
the E-PIC. The upstream side of the E-PIC has a High Efficiency
Particulate Air (HEPA) filter assembly.

The ACM has two covers. One cover has a cut out for the door. The door
panel behind it, is raised/lowered when the jetting module is installed/
removed. The second cover goes around the other three sides.

The PIC box has two primary functional groups: electric and fluidic. The
electric group has the PIC fluid control PCB, PIC data PCB, and cooling
fans/blowers. The fluidic group has the fluid manifold and valves. The
jetting module takes the output of the electric and fluid groups and
develops ink drops that are put on the substrate to make text/image s.

Operators will do maintenance for the HEP A filters, printhead air filter , and
the dry shutdown valve (vacuum bleed) filter. Contact a Kodak service
technician for other maintenance on the PIC box.

Operator’s Guide 13

Chapter 1. Overview

Prosper S10 Jetting Module

Prosper S10 Jetting Module

The jetting module is used to apply ink onto the substrate. It has a
maximum printing width of 4.16 inches for one jetting module and 16.64
inches for four jetting modules. It is made of a silicon wafer assembly
(nozzle plate), a rigid flex assembly, a fluid filter, and a fluid manifold with
inlet and outlet ports.

The jetting module can be easily damaged, so it must be carefully
handled at all times. The jetting module frame has three ball centering
recesses to help accurately position the jetting module in the ACM. The
jetting module slides into the jetting module carriage assembly on the
ACM-jetting modules interface slides. It must be inserted correctly and
carefully to make sure the rigid flex connector pads connect to the Data
Interface Board (DIB) and the fluid inlet and outlet are correctly positioned
for correct fluid flow.

See Kodak Prosper S10 Jetting Module Replace and Pack Guide for
procedures on how to replace, pack, install, uninst all, and clean the jetting
module.
