sufficient movement space is available for the operating and service
personnel. Solvents are processed in the device, sufficient room
ventilation must be ensured!
Prior to assembly the place of setting up must be cleaned of dirt and
contamination (residue of lubricants etc.). The working place
surroundings should be kept clean at all times in order to ensure
unrestricted access to the LEIBINGER-JET3 device.
2.10 Dangers through consumables
Inks are coloured liquids on a solvent basis. The safety instructions on the containers of
the consumables as well as the instructions in the group Accident prevention must be
especially adhered to in order to exclude dangers for persons and the surroundings.
Further instructions can be found in the Safety Data Sheets.
When handling consumables (inks/solvents) the danger instructions
and safety advice on the containers (transport, storage, distribution
and correct disposal) must be observed!

3. Accident prevention
The following presentation shows the measures in the event of an accident with ink and
solvent with the danger marking,
slightly ignitable
irritates the eyes and the respiratory organs.
3.1 Storage and handling (normal use)
GENERAL These products must only used at points that are free from
open flames and other ignition sources. Do not use pressure for
emptying –
the container is not a pressure vessel. Good
household practice and regular, safe removal of the waste
materials restrict the danger of self-ignition and other risks of
fire to a minimum. The product can charge statically. When
pouring from one container to another use a mass lead. The
workers must wear anti-static shoes and clothing and the floors
must be conductive.
STORAGE Observe the marking information. Store at 5 to 25°C in a
warm, well ventilated location at a safe distance from heat and
ignition sources and direct sunlight.
Do not smoke!
Do not grant access to unauthorised persons.
Open containers must be properly closed and stored upright in
order to avoid leakage.
Smoking, eating and drinking must be forbidden in the storage
and working areas. Always keep in containers from the same
material as the delivery containers.
HANDLING The development of combustible or explosive vapour
concentrations must be prevented and vapour concentrations
avoided that are above the threshold values of the employers
liability insurance association. Keep containers closed tightly.
Keep sources of heat and sparks as well as open flames well
away.
Use only spark-free tools. Electrical devices must be protected
in accordance with the corresponding standard.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale vapours
and spray mist.

Group 3 Accident prevention Page 21
Release R1.03e LEIBINGER JET3
3.2 First aid measures
EYES Contact lenses must be removed. Rinse thoroughly with pure,
fresh water for at least 10 minutes, keep eyelids spread and
call a doctor.
SKIN Remove contaminated clothes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water or with a branded skin cleansing agent. DO NOT use
solvents or thinners.
INHALING Take patient into the
fresh air and keep warm and calm. In the
event of irregular breathing or of breath being missed
resuscitate artificially. Do not give anything orally, place
unconscious patients on their side and call a doctor.
MISCELLANEOUS In case of doubt or with persistent symptoms call a doctor.
Never give anything orally to unconscious patients.
3.3 Fire fighting measures
EXTINGUISHING
AGENTS
Recommended
: Alcohol-resistant foam, spray water/mist, CO2
or powder
DO NOT use water jets. Cool closed containers exposed to the
fire with spray water.
RISK OF FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
As the product contains combustible organic constituents, a
thick, black smoke develops in the event of fire that contains
dangerous combustion products. Decomposition products can
constitute a danger to health. Extinguishing waste water must
not enter the waste water channels or waters.
PROTECTIVE
MEASURES
If necessary suitable, independent breathing apparatus is
required.
Page 22
Group 3 Accident prevention Page 22
Release R1.03e LEIBINGER JET3
3.4 Measures in the event of accidental release (spillage)
PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES
Switch off sources of ignition and ventilate room. Keep
personnel that is not absolutely necessary away. Do not inhale
any vapour. Observe the protective measures listed.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
MEASURES
DO NOT allow to enter waste water channels or waters.
Should the product enter waste water channels or the drainage
system the local water supply authority must be informed
immediately. In the event of contamination of streams, rivers or
lakes inform the national water authorities. Vapour is heavier
than air and can spread out on the ground. In combination with
air it can form an explosive mixture.
RESTORATION Restrict and suck up spilled substances with a non-combustible
absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, infusorial
earth) and collect in a suitable container for removal. Preferably
clean areas with spilled substances with a detergent. Avoid
solvents.

5.3.2 Grounding (Potential equalization)
Grounding (Potential equalization)!
In case of a non existing grounding or that the grounding of the
printer is not carried out properly, this could cause serious injury or
death and it can also cause malfunctions or damages at the printer!
These dangers or demolitions can happen for example because of
electrostatic discharge (ESD) or potential difference.
Specially for countries without existing protected earth connection, there is a
special grounding point located at the side of the printer.
This threaded socket must be connected to ground if there is no ground pin in the
mains socket/plug.
The threaded case is sealed inwards and thus IP 65 conform. With a screw and a
ring terminal (cable lug) the grounding can be fixed easily.
Please note, that the grounding point (7) is hidden behind the round
grounding-symbol-label (6) on the lower left hand side of the cabinet
of the printer.
Grounding instructions
A separate grounding line (min. cable cross-section 2,00 mm
2
) to the printer
cabinet must be installed before
the print head is mounted in the installation and
before the printer is plugged to the power supply.
The connection must be carried with a solid bonding that corresponds with
existing guidelines.
Annotation:
A suitable grounding cable is available optionally (accessories).
The installation (machine) and the printer must have the same potential/ground.
The printer must be always be switched off and the mains plug
must be always unplugged if you plug and/or unplug any
connectors!

5.3.3 Print head
The print head should be mounted to the printed product that the notch in the head
cover is placed vertical to the moving direction of the product. It can be installed
horizontal, vertical, from the top or from the bottom.
For installation from the bottom it has to be prevented that dirt can enter in the
print head. For this a head ventilation is required which can be purchased optionally.
The print head mounting should be carried out that a fast separation of the print
head from the device for cleaning purposes is possible.
The print head should be attachted vibration-free. The hose
connection of the print head should not be smaller as a radius of
R60 statistically and dynamically not below R100!
The distance of the print head to the product depends on the required character
height. As smaller the required character height, as smaller the distance of the print
head to the product (smaller distances produce better type quality)
Note:
In general a distance of round about 8-10mm is recommended.
For applications with extreme small or large character heights a micro-
and
macro print head are available optionally.
Installation of print head
During an installation of a device in a production line, the operating
staff should be not endagered. Due to moving products under the
print head danger of bruisings and shearing can be caused. The
regulations of the machinery directives should be observed!

6.1 Construction/Structure of the device
The high-performance LEIBINGER JET3 is manufactured of a solid two parts stainless
steel cabinet. Due to the two parts construction you will get a thermal separation
between the hydraulic- and electronic section. The device consists of the following main
components.
Figure 9
Equipment configuration (General view)
1 – Electronic cabinet 4 – Refilling unit
2 – TFT – Touch Display 5 – Print head with umbilical
3 – Hydraulic cabinet
In the closed electronic cabinet you will find the essential electronic components as
power supply, the TFT-Touch Display as well as the controller board.
The large central arranged TFT-Touch Display describes the interactive interface for the
operator. This central entry medium with its extensive 10,4” color display with backlight
allows a clear, self-explaining operator guidance without additional keys and switches.
In the hydraulic cabinet you find all components which are required for the
transportation and preparation of ink.
The refilling unit provides a supply of consumables. It contains two separate reservoir
tanks for ink and solvent. The unpressurized tanks can be refilled without interrupt
procedure, odorless and splash-free during the operation.
Page 42
Group 6 Operation – Functional principle Page 42
Release R1.03e LEIBINGER JET3
The print head contains all mechanical, electronical and hydraulic components which are
required for the creation of print out. It is connected with the hydraulic cabinet by a
flexible umbilical.
6.2 Functional principle
6.2.1 Method of working
The JET3 works in accordance with the continuous ink jet process. In this a
constant ink jet is emitted from a jet nozzle which is broken down into a series of
equal size drops under the influence of mechanical oscillations.
If required these drops are individually charged up electrostatically and deflected
into a constant electrical field depending on the charge. As a result not just one
point but rather a line of points can be applied contact-free with one jet. If the
product used is moved vertically to the drop deflection two-dimensional patterns
(characters) can be created.
The drops that are not required for a programmed inscription are not charged and
flow uninfluenced through the electrical deflection field into a gutter. In the gutter
the drops are sucked up by a suction pump and fed back into the ink tank.
Depending on the application alphanumeric data and graphics can be entered with
the TFT touch display.
Data for font and texts are stored in the device (even in the event
of power failure). If required it can be called up, altered or deleted
quickly and easily.
Further more, all jobs, fonts and graphics can be saved as a backup e.g. on a USB-stick or a SD-card.
6.2.2 Drop creation
During the drop creation the ink is pressed
through a jet nozzle under pressure and
at the same time modulated in such a way by highly frequent sinus oscillations that
are imposed on the drop that it attaches itself to the nodal points of the oscillations
and breaks down into individual drops at a specific distance lA (please see the
following figure “Creation of a character”) from the jet. The oscillations are created with
an oscillatory system that is excited by a Piezo oscillator.
Page 43
Group 6 Operation – Functional principle Page 43
Release R1.03e LEIBINGER JET3
6.2.3 Drop charging
In order to be able to charge the drops it is necessary for the ink to have electrical
conductivity. This is possible through the use of specific salts that dissociate in the
solvent used. The drop brake-off point of the modulated jet is automatically set in
such a manner that this happens inside the charging electrode.
The drops can now be charged up by creation of voltage between jet and charging
electrode, because they are given a negative charge through the charge shift
resulting in the charge electrode gap. A specific charge voltage is clearly allocated
for each drop charge.
6.2.4 Drop deflection
After the drops have left the charging electrode they fly through an electrical field.
Here, those droplets that were previously charged in the charging electrode are
deflected. The drops that have not been charged fly straight ahead into the gutter.
Here they are sucked up and fed back to the circular flow of ink. The charged drops
are only deflected in one direction, the other direction is performed by the product
to be inscribed.
6.2.5 Creation of a character
Each character is defined by a two-dimensional matrix, e.g. 7 x 5. An ink drop can
be assigned to every point of intersection. The character is formed by deflecting the
ink drops in a vertical direction and by moving the product which is to be imprinted
horizontally. The ink drops which are not to be positioned are not given electrostatic
charges in the charging electrode, and pass through the electrical field without
being deflected and on into the gutter tube. The controller (CPU) of the printer
calculates the values which are required for the generation of charging voltages of
the single characters.

7.3.1.1 Language and units
The JET3 allows the selection of the operation language, the ISO-fonts which are
assigned to the keyboard as well as the used measuring unit. The parameters which
are set currently are displayed in the pop-up windows.
1. Menu language:
The available menu languages are listed in the pop-up window. The available
languages depend on the ordered version of the printer.
Note:
The function is also helpful to simplify the communication (e.g. in case of
service) with the dealer or the LEIBINGER service-hotline because
English language can be generally selected irrespectively of the
installed language package.
With the selected language the accordant ISO-font is assigned automatically to
the keyboard.
2. Keyboard:
In this Pop-up window you can change preset ISO-fonts with the language
selection.
Annotation:
The allocation of another ISO-font is reasonable e.g. if you have to
create also characters of another language group additionally to the
standard characters of the set language. These characters are then
available in the advanced font of the keyboard.

The mode <Interval operation> enables the input of start-
and end times when the
LEIBINGER JET3 turns on or off automatically (e.g. 10.20 pm, the device turns on /
10.40 pm, the device turns off). to circulate the ink.
This function prevents that the ink dries up or sediments as well as the jamming of
the nozzle if the printer is turned off for a longer time.
As standard the interval operation is carried out without viscosity control. In case of
need the viscosity control can be also activated for the interval operation.
Attention!
The viscosity control should be only activated for special operating
conditions of the JET3 or after consultation with the LEIBINGERservice department.
You should set an interval time of at least 20 minutes.

This function can be generated also „remote-controlled“ by an electronical contact
(see also the informations in the following chapter).
7.4.3.3 Extern Ink on/off
During cleaning works at the print head it can be helpful (e.g. in case of a long
umbilical) that the ink delivery can be turned on/off externally. The JET3 requires
impulses for the control.
This can be reached with a bridge between pin 9 and 14 and a switch contact
(pushbotton) at the pins 21 and 13 of the I/O interface X4.
Example:
First impulse = switches off the ink delivery
Second impulse = switches on again the ink delivery
Diagram/Plug assignment:
The signal which is pending at the interface is only analyzed by the JET3 if the
function <Extern Ink on/off active> (4) is turned on.
If the function is activated, it is shown by a on the display.
