It is possible to control the printer remotely. If operated in this manner itis vital that the remote UI is disconnected before carrying out anycleaning or maintenance on the printer.

Certain inks are allowed for use where they can be in indirect contact withfood. In these cases, the following precautions must be observed in additionto those appropriate to hygiene:

The inks must only be used in printers supplied from new for use withthese inks. Any repairs and replacements must use genuine, new andunused spare parts.

The inks must not be used in printers which have previously been used,at any time, for any other purpose.

HEALTH AND SAFETY


The printers place small electrostatic charges on the ink drops used forprinting. In most circumstances, such as when they arrive at the print surface,these electrostatic charges are either conducted away or cannot accumulate.However, during maintenance, print drops may be collected in a container,such as a beaker. It is essential that this container is made of conductingmaterial and is securely connected to ground/earth. The electrostatic chargeswill then be safely conducted to ground/earth.

If there is a fire, there is a likelihood that dangerous fumes will arise fromprinting inks. For this reason ink must be stored where it can be reachedquickly by the fire fighting service, and where it will not spread beyond thestore.

PRINT HEADGeneral Principles

Each printed character consists of a dot matrixmade up of lines, or strokes, of ink drops. The inkdrops in each stroke are spaced apart by electronicdeflection and the strokes are spaced apart by themovement of the print surface under the head.

Inside the print head, ink is supplied underpressure to the drop generator, and emergesthrough a small nozzle as a very fine jet. The dropgenerator contains a drive rod which creates

ultrasonic pressure waves in the ink, making the jetbreak up into a stream of separate drops shortlyafter leaving the nozzle.

The break-up is adjusted to occur within thecharge electrode, where each ink drop is given anelectrostatic charge by putting a voltage onto thecharge electrode as the drop breaks off. The sizeof the charge on the ink drop depends upon thevoltage on the charge electrode.

The ink drops then pass through the electrostaticfield set up between two high voltage deflectorplates. The direction of flight of each charged inkdrop is deflected by an amount dependent uponthe size of the charge.

Ink drops not required for printing are not givenelectrostatic charges and are collected in the gutter.

CABINET The cabinet structure is made substantially of moulded glass filled nylon withdoors to two separate compartments.

The front facing door gives access to the ink system. The door opensdownwards and has retainers to allow the door to open fully and beunsupported. Operations such as replacing cartridges and the Qube arecarried out in this area.

At the rear of the printer is a stainless steel door which gives access to theelectrical components of the printer. These include the power supply, inkinterface PCB, SBC, PEC and the pump and cooling fan. The door opens viaside mounted hinges and is secured by a screw catch.

DESCRIPTION


i-Tech INK SYSTEMGeneralCAUTION: Do not switch off the printer before the flush cycle is

complete.

The printer contains a reservoir of printing ink located in the Qube. As ink isused for printing, it is replaced by fresh ink from a disposable cartridge.

The ink has a solvent base which (like all solvents) is subject to evaporation,and this, in turn, affects ink viscosity. The electronic system, therefore, checksthe viscosity regularly and keeps it within carefully controlled limits by addingmake-up, supplied from a reservoir, which is also supplied by a disposablecartridge.

VentingThe ink reservoir in the Qube and make-up reservoir are connected to a ventwhich allows for variations in the ink level and for air drawn in by the ink andmake-up cartridges. It also allows air drawn in through the gutter to bereleased. These air movements can result in the emission of solvent fumes andan evaporation loss. To reduce the evaporation loss a peltier is fitted to cooland condense any escaping vapour. The resulting liquid is passed back into themake-up reservoir.

Wake-up ModeNote: The Wake-up Mode is a selectable option and is available only with a

Service key.

When the jet is switched off, the software controls the printer in a wake-upmode. This operates theselected interval (betweeand to maintain the corrEDP002568 Issue 2 October 2011
