BLUEMARK LED

2.5.4 Bluetooth connection

The printer has a Bluetooth interface, which enables wireless data transmission. For the
technical data for the Bluetooth interface, please refer to page A-1.

Basics of wireless printing via Bluetooth

With Bluetooth technology for wireless communication, devices such as printers and
computers can communicate with one another via radio waves in the 2.400 GHz band over
distances of up to 100 m.

For Bluetooth compatibility, the BLUEMARK LED has an integrated Bluetooth wireless
module.

Unlike infrared communication, Bluetooth technology does not require a direct line of sight
between the transmitter and receiver.

Only one computer The printer can only establish a wireless Bluetooth connection with one computer. The

printer ignores all other computers that attempt to establish a connection. These computers
must wait until the original connection has been terminated. Only then can they establish a
new connection.

Bluetooth detection Detection refers to the process where a Bluetooth-compatible device detects other

Bluetooth-compatible devices within range.

If a device has detected the printer, it displays the Bluetooth device name of the printer. For
the BLUEMARK LED this is BLUEMARK_xxxx. xxxx represents an internal code, which
differentiates between several BLUEMARK LED printers. The Bluetooth device name can
be read via the menu (see page 2-15).

The detection method varies according to the type of Bluetooth software used.

Installation on the PC

In order to use the printer, the PC must be equipped with Bluetooth technology.

It is important that the "Secure connection" checkbox is not activated in the Bluetooth
interface properties on your PC.

Prior to printer installation, the Bluetooth interface must be installed and a virtual interface
(COM port) set up here.

If your PC has an internal Bluetooth wireless module, refer to the user manual for your
computer for information about the Bluetooth function of the PC.

If your PC does not have an internal Bluetooth wireless module, you must use a Bluetooth
PC card or an adapter in order to use Bluetooth technology.

Setting up the BLUEMARK LED

Requirements Prior to driver installation, the following points must be met:

– The transportation safeguard has been removed.
– The dummy Fluid Cartridge has been replaced with a normal Fluid Cartridge.
– The BLUEMARK LED is installed in a suitable location.
– The BLUEMARK LED is connected to the power supply and switched on.
– A Bluetooth interface is installed on your PC and a virtual interface (COM port) has been

set up here.

3 Printing sheets and setting up the printer

3.1 Loading sheets

NOTE: Only use media which has been approved by Phoenix Contact.

Only print on media with complete rows, as missing rows can damage the printhead.

NOTE: Observe the maximum capacity when loading sheets.

Figure 3-1 Transport module with capacity indicator

Before printing, load the sheets in the transport module. A marking indicates the maximum
capacity. It is around 15 mm below the top edge. If too many sheets are loaded, the
transport module cannot move up and the sheets or printer may be damaged.

NOTE: The transport module holds around 20 sheets with a typical height of around 4 mm.
The output tray holds fewer sheets than the input tray (around 10). It must therefore be
emptied during printing.

For automatic ejection, a sheet slide (BLUEMARK CARD SLIDER, Order No. 5147010) is
available as an accessory, which transports the sheets from the output tray.

3.2 Specifying printing

The sheets can be labeled using CLIP PROJECT advanced or popular Microsoft Office
products.

Please note that the sheet type or the page size must be specified in the application
program.

In CLIP PROJECT advanced the correct sheet type must be set, in MS Word or MS Excel
the page size (e.g., 76 x 120 mm) must correspond to the sheet size.

4 Maintenance and cleaning

4.1 Changing the Fluid Cartridge during startup

For safety reasons, the BLUEMARK LED is delivered with an empty fluid cartridge (“dummy
fluid cartridge”). Replace this with a BLUEMARK FLUID-CARTRIDGE (Order No. 5147421,
see "Inserting the Fluid Cartridge" on page 2-3).

4.2 Changing the Fluid and Cleaning Cartridge

4.2.1 Notes on the Fluid Cartridge

WARNING: Irritation due to the fluid

The fluid that is used contains substances which can cause irritation and inflammation of
the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Do not inhale vapor and avoid contact with the skin and eyes.

If your skin comes into direct contact with the fluid, wash the affected area thoroughly with
water and soap.

Maintenance and cleaning

Range of the
Fluid Cartridge

Requesting the
Fluid Cartridge status

NOTE: For optimum durability, store the Fluid Cartridge at 0°C ... 20°C.

The Fluid Cartridge (ink cartridge) and Cleaning Cartridge (cleaning unit) must always be
replaced together. They are available as a set (see "Ordering data" on page A-2).

Status of the Fluid Cartridge

The fill level of the Fluid Cartridge is monitored. When it is nearly empty, the message
"Fluid Cartridge Nearly Empty" is displayed automatically and an icon appears in
the display (see page 3-5). Confirm this message by pressing the
continue printing. Have a new Fluid Cartridge ready to hand for cartridge change.

If the cover is opened when "Fluid Cartridge Nearly Empty" appears in the
display, the printer display then changes to "Fluid Cartridge Empty", as the
remaining quantity is insufficient for filling.

The range of the Fluid Cartridge largely depends on the number of cleaning cycles and the
ambient temperature. Cleaning cycles are required (as with all inkjet printers) to prevent air
becoming trapped in the ink circuit and to clean the printhead. Please note that frequent
cleaning cycles will reduce the range of the Fluid Cartridge.

The UV-hardening fluid has limited durability. Once the expiry date is reached, the
Fluid Cartridge must be changed.

You can view the status of the Fluid Cartridge (fill level and durability) in the status monitor
(see "Status information via the menu" on page 3-3 or "Status monitor (for USB/LAN
connection only)" on page 3-3).

5.3 Removing errors

5.3.1 Sheets are not being fed through

If the sheets are not being fed through, first check that the correct sheet code has been set
or whether the sheet size corresponds to the page size in the application program.

If a sheet becomes jammed, the device first attempts to eject the jammed sheet
automatically.

In the event of a sheet jam, two error messages can appear in the display:
– No Print Medium Detected. Check and Clear Feeder (sheet feeder error)
– Sheet Output Storage (sheet output error)

Sheets are not being fed in correctly

The "No Print Medium Detected. Check and Clear Feeder" error message
means that a sheet could not be fed in correctly. Either there are no sheets in the transport
module or a sheet has become jammed in the transport module. Only print on media with
complete rows, as missing rows can damage the printhead.

• Look in the feed tray at the back of the device to see whether a sheet has been fed in
but not transported further.
If this is the case, first manually remove the sheet that was fed in incompletely from the
back of the device.

• Then acknowledge the error by pressing the

• When the jam has been removed, press e Cancel or • Continue. If Continue is

selected, the last print job is repeated.

Sheets are not being output correctly

Sheet Output Storage The Sheet Output Storage message means that an error occurred when ejecting the

sheets. Either the output tray is full or the sheets have become jammed.

• If the sheet is jammed further inside the device, switch the printer off and on.
After being switched on, an automatic evacuation process is carried out during device
initialization where any sheets trapped inside the device are ejected.

Opening the printer in the event of no voltage (emergency release) and removing
the sheet

If the above steps fail, because the sheet is jammed too tightly, the device can be opened

and the sheet removed manually:

• Switch off the printer.

WARNING: Risk of burns

During operation the UV Unit temperature is around 70°C. If in the event of an error you
want to open the printer via the emergency lock, you must wait a few minutes for the UV
Unit to cool down.

type of sheet can be used for the nozzle test. However, the sample may not be printed
precisely on the labels.
