SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

WARNING● Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device around the

printer.The ink and makeup are both flammable and may cause fire. Fire can be generated by matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas burners, welders, grinders and static electricity. Arcs may be generated from open-type relays, switches, and brush motors. Before handling the ink and makeup, remove static electricity from your body, peripheral equipment, and so on. In the interest of safety, position a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the printer.

● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, install the printer at an adequately ventilated location.

Never install the printer in an enclosed space.Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to prevent it from fillingwith organic solvent vapor.

● Do not insert tweezers, a screwdriver, or any other metal article into the ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.When the printer is ready to print, a high voltage (approximately 6 kV) is applied to the deflection electrode section in the print head. Exercise caution to avoid electric shock, injury, and fire.

● Do not remove the outer covering. A high voltage is applied to some sections of the printer. Exercise caution to avoid electric shock and injury.

● Use an AC voltage of 100 to120 V or 200 to 240 V ±10% only and a power frequency of 50 or 60 Hz only.If the above requirements are not met, the electric parts may overheat and burn, creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

● Never drain the ink or makeup waste solution into a public sewer system.Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.

● Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly pulling, or bending piping tubes.Since the ink and makeup in some portions of piping tubes are pressurized, they may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing.If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

WARNING● While the printer is operating, do not look into the ink ejection hole in the

end of the print head. Ink or makeup may enter your eyes or mouth or soil your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or

cold water and consult a physician.

● Before servicing the printer, be sure to stop the ink ejection.Because ink or makeup may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and consult a physician.

● If an earthquake, fire, or other emergency occurs while the printer is engaged in printing or just turned on, press the Main power switch to turn off the power.

● The printer must be managed in compliance with all appropriate regulations.

Read and understand the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using any ink or makeup.

(4) ●Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

WARNING● When charging a refill of ink or makeup, exchanging ink, or otherwise

handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill ink or makeup.If you spill any ink or makeup by mistake, wipe it off neatly and promptly with wiping paper or something similar. Do not close the maintenance cover until you make sure that the portion you have just wiped is completely dry.

You must pay particular attention when you have spilled ink or makeup inside the printer and it is not completely dry. Why? Because vapors of ink or makeup will stay inside the printer and may catch on or cause a fire.

If you find it hard to wipe the printer when it is turned on, stop it with the maintenance cover open. Power it down, and then wipe it off again.

● If you wish to clean the casing of the printer with wiping paper impregnated with makeup, be sure to do so with the power off.

Attempting to clean it when the power is on will cause makeup or vapors of makeup to enter the printer, possibly catching on or causing a fire. When the cleaning is over, open the maintenance cover and make sure that no makeup has entered and no vapors remain inside.

● Should you find a leak of ink or makeup inside the printer while the printer is running or being maintained, wipe it off promptly with wiping paper or something similar. Then, with the maintenance cover open, stop the printer, power it down, and repair the leak.

Continuing operation with a leak of ink or makeup will cause an anomaly, resulting in abnormal printing. Ink and makeup are flammable. They may therefore catch on or cause a fire.

● If you wish to receive ink particles in a beaker, for a printing test for example, use an electrically conductive beaker and connect the beaker securely to the ground.

Do not let the tip of the printing head enter the beaker.

Ink particles used for printing are electrically charged. An ungrounded beaker has a gradually rising charge, possibly catching on or causing a fire.

● Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply with applicable cords. Properly connect the printer to its dedicated ground.

Complete the above procedure to avoid electrical shock hazards.

● When welding, keep enough space between the IJ printer and the welding work area to prevent the arc from starting a fire. Also, be sure to

insulate the printhead and IJ printer frame to keep the welding current from flowing to the control section of the printer, and to make a separate ground connection for the printer.

●Safety Precautions (5)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

CAUTION● Only persons who have completed an operator training course for

Hitachi IJP can operate and service the printer.If the printer is operated or serviced incorrectly, it may malfunction or break down.

● Do not attempt to make repairs for any purpose other than operation or maintenance.

● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, observe the following handling precautions.

Secure adequate space for the ink/makeup handling area and printer installation site. At least 200 m must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.When handling the ink or makeup, wear protective gloves and safety goggles to avoid direct skin contact. If the ink or makeup comes into contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and warm or cold water.When transferring the ink or makeup to or from a bottle, exercise caution to prevent it coming into contact with the printer or surrounding articles. If there is any spillage, immediately wipe it clean using a cloth moistened with makeup.

● Ink and makeup must be stored as flammable liquids. Storage must comply with local regulatory requirements. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.

● If extraneous noise enters the printer, it may malfunction or break down.For maximum noise immunity, observe the following installation and wiring precautions.

Ensure that 100 to 120 VAC or 200 to 240 VAC power cables are not bundled with other power supply cables.Insulate the printer main body and print head so that they do not come into direct contact with the conveyor or other devices.If the employed print target detector is housed in a metal case, use a plastic mounting brace for the purpose of insulating the detector from the conveyor and other devices.Be sure that the print target detector wiring is not bundled together with other power supply cables.

● Please make sure the print status and print content are correct each time when you start operation of IJP.

● Please implement periodical checkup of print status in the process, even including during production.

● A touch panel is employed for data entry to operation screen. When manipulating the Touch panel, use only fingers. If the touch panel is operated with metal and/or sharp objects such as ball point pen, it may malfunction or break down.

0 to35 C 3 weeks

35 to 40 C 2 weeks

40 to 45 C 1 week

1.1 Ink and makeup (1) Ink and makeup replenishment

The printer employs an automatic ink/makeup replenishment system. While the printer is operated, the ink reservoir automatically supplies the ink and the makeup reservoir automatically supplies the makeup to the ink main tank at regular intervals. If the ink or makeup replenisher level is too low, an alarm is issued. In this case, replenish the ink or makeup without delay.(For the replenishment procedures, see Section 8.)

(2) Ink periodic replacementFor the replacement procedures, see “Technical Manual Chapter 6”.●While the IJ printer ink circulates for operations, it reacts with the atmospheric air elements and deteriorates with time. Therefore, it needs periodic replacement. The guide for determining the replacement interval conforms to the handling guidance of each ink.

*What is makeup? :The makeup serves as the replenisher that makes up for the constituent loss due to ink evaporation during ink ejection. It is also used as a cleaning solution.

1.2 IJ printer long-term shutdownWhen the IJ printer is shut down for a long time due to production or other circumstances, the ink may accrete inside of the printer and cause such problems as inability to be ejected or to be recovered. When this occurs, the following actions must be taken.

Prevent accretion by operating the printer periodically.Operate (eject ink) the printer for 1 hour or longer at least once during the “Shutdown Period Guideline” shown in the table below.

Perform long-term shutdown storage work.Before storage, drain the ink from inside the printer and fill the printer with makeup.When restarting operation after storage, drain the makeup from inside the printer and fill the printer with ink.Refer to Technical manual “6.15 Long-term Shutdown” for detail.

*1: Maximum period the printer can be continuously shut down without being operated.●The values in the table are for MEK based ink.●Handling of ink other than the above requires special handling in accordance with the handling

guidance of each ink.

1. USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Since “ Perform long-term shutdown storage work” requires special work, it is recommended to contact your local distributor and ask for the work.

1-2 ●Print head cleaning

1.3 Print head cleaningTake the following precautions when cleaning ink from around the nozzle.

(1) Orient the end of the print head downward and pour makeup onto the dirty part and clean while catching the makeup in a beaker.

(2) After cleaning, thoroughly wipe the print head with wiping paper and allow it to dry.●Thoroughly dry the nozzle, charge electrode, deflection electrode, mounting base and fringe of the gutter. Confirm that the parts are sufficiently dry before starting the next operation. If operated while wet, the printer will not start normally.●While the print head is wet, do not orient its end upward.

(3) Never immerse the print head in the makeup.

(4)When printing is frequently performed or the distance between the print material and the print head is short, ink splashes may stain the end of the print head and the print head cover. If this condition is left unresolved, the stained status will be made worse, resulting in a print error or emergency stop. If a print error or emergency stop frequently occurs because of stain due to ink splashes, stop the operation in progress and clean the end of the print head (around the nozzle, charge electrode, deflection electrode, mounting base and gutter) and the print head cover. Do this in addition to the cleaning to be performed at the end of each day’s work.

Air purging of the print head is effective against staining due to ink splashing.See the Technical Manual “3.1 Print head air purge”.

Cleaning range

Do not pour the makeup over this section.Wipe the print head clean with wiping paper dampened with the makeup.

●Shutdown 1-3

1.4 Shutdown (no-cleaning stop)When you press the Shutdown on the upper right-hand corner of the screen, the printer stops after completing its automatic nozzle cleaning sequence. If you repeatedly activate the Shutdown to stop an operation, excessive makeup will enter the printer, thereby thinning the ink or producing an unduly high ink main tank solution level. If it is absolutely necessary to repeatedly stop the printer operation, use the following procedure.

1-4 ●Cautions on operating time when printer is in service

1.6 Heating of ink(1) If the ambient temperature is under approximately 20 C, the ink is heated by a heating unit in the print head. The startup processing time relative to when not operating becomes long.

When not operating: Approximately 1.5 minutes When operating: Maximum approximately 10 minutes (Changes depending on the ambient temperature)

*Depending on the type of ink, the heating unit may not be used. Refer to the handling guidance of each ink.

(2) When a heating unit fault occurs, take care of the following items.If a heating unit fault occurs, the messages “Ink Heating Unit too High”, “Ink Heating Unit Temperature Sensor Fault”, or “Ink Heating Unit Over Current” are displayed and the IJ printer fault stops.The IJ printer can be restarted by pressing the Reset or Close . However, the ink will not be heated even if the temperature drops thereafter.

Once “do not perform ink heating” is set, the following message is always displayed whenever the power is turned on thereafter. Cancel the message by pressing the Close and be sure to inform your nearest local distributor.

If the printer is temporally operated in «do not perform ink heating» status, the operation of the printer may become possible by resetting the excitation voltage.

Reset the excitation voltage according to Technical Manual “6.11 Excitation V Adjustment”.

＝＝＝＝＝ Ink Temperature Correction Notice ＝＝＝＝＝

The selected setup does not allow ink temperature corrections to be made.

Solution Contact your local distributor.

1.5 Cautions on operating time when printer is in service

(1) Cautions when printer is repeatedly stopped immediately after the start of operation

If you repeatedly stop the printer immediately after the start of operation, automatic nozzle cleaning at shutdown will cause the ink in the IJ printer to gradually become thinner. For stable operation of the IJ printer, operate the printer for a given amount of time or more once started.( =in Ink eject status) During the operation, the ink viscosity is adjusted automatically and returns to the initial value. The required amount of operation time varies depending on the ambient temperature or ink types used.Refer to the handling guidance of each ink for details.

(2) Caution when daily operating time is relatively longThe IJ printer emits an ink jet when printing, so the outside and inside of the print head cover will become dirty with accumulated ink spillage during operation. To prevent printing defects due to this ink accumulation, periodically check the head cover and clean it as required.

1.7 Ink concentration control

(1) The ink is automatically controlled to maintain optimum concentration for printing. *Depending on the type of ink, ink concentration control may not be performed by viscometer. Refer to the handling guidance of each ink.

(2)If an error occurs in the viscometer which is used to control ink concentration, take care of the following points:There are three types of viscometer errors:

“Viscometer Ink Temperature Sensor Fault”, “Viscometer Reading Instability”, and “Viscometer Reading Out of Range”.

When a “Viscometer Ink Temperature Sensor Fault” occurs, the unit will enter the fault stop state.Re-start is possible by pressing the Close , but the setting will be changed to the state in which ink concentration control based on the measured result using the viscometer is not performed thereafter.Once the setting of automatic concentration control is released, every time the power is turned on, the following message will appear. Cancel the message by pressing the Close and be sure to inform your nearest local distributor.

When “Viscosity Reading Instability” or “Viscosity Readings Out of Range” occurs, the unit will not enter the fault stop state and printing can be continued. However, you should contact your nearest local distributor for inspection.

1.8 Gutter cleaning

The IJ printer collects ink not used for printing from the gutter. At the same time, it sucks in atmospheric gas, dust, and other matter from the air. If these substances are mixed with the ink in the gutter, undissolved components in the ink or makeup may stick to the gutter. If the system is run for 24 consecutive hours without automatic cleaning, these components will gradually accumulate in the gutter. This, together with the ink stream coming into contact with it, may cause such errors as “an error stemming from a dirty head”.If any such component sticks to the gutter, immerse it in a solution of about 0.5% household dishwashing detergent and clean it for about 10 minutes with an ultrasonic cleaner. The dirt can then be removed.

1-6 ●Protection sheet

1.9 Protection sheet

A protection sheet is provided to protect the screen display of the IJ printer.This is used to prevent the screen display from becoming dirty, scratched, etc.

(1) Installing the protection sheetClean all dirt, debris, ink, etc., from the panel surface.Use a paper wipe, etc., soaked in water or makeup to wipe the display clean.*Install the protection sheet after the panel surface has dried.Peel off the removable paper from the back of the protection sheet.*Do not touch the double-sided tape on the back of the protection sheet.Affix the protection sheet to the IJ printer screen display as shown in the figure.

●When a bar code of the same kind was set at adjacent print items, only the continuous series bar code is assumed. However, fixed length bar codes such as EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,

EAN-13 Add-On 5 and GS1 DataBar become independent bar codes.●For multiple settings, provide a print item for which a bar code is not set between the print items with a

bar code set.●Up to a maximum of 4 DM (Data Matrix), code 128, QR code, Micro QR and GS1 DataBar can be set

respectively. QR code and Micro QR can be collectively set up to 4.●Since the number of horizontal dots is uniquely determined for bar codes, an inter-character space cannot

be set.

●A bar code can be set even for print items with a calendar and count set. However, when calendar substitution, zero suppression, or an invalid character is set, for the bar code setting, the relevant character is deleted.●Neither the calendar nor the count set can be set to the country code.●When code set C of code 128 was set when the English alphabet is set for the count upper limit, the relevant character is deleted.●Since start and stop codes are automatically generated, input as print description is unnecessary.●A barcode with the identification numbers can be set in 1 line or 2 lines setting. When in 2 lines setting, the barcode with the identification numbers can only be set to either upper or

lower line. If the barcode is set to the upper line, it cannot be set to the lower line or vice versa.●For GS1 DataBar, neither the calendar nor the count can be set to 1st, 2nd and 3rd digit.

Should the top-right of the print item go beyond the limit of horizontal (X) coordinate, it will be automatically adjusted to horizontal (X) coordinate=31999.

Horizontal (X) coordinate = 31961 Horizontal (X) coordinate = 31920

horizontal (X) coordinate = 31999

4.8.6 Cautions for printing overlapped some print items● If multiple numbers of print items are overlapped, the printing may be aborted depending on the

number of print items or characters because it requires time to create the print data while printing is in process.

In this case, the alarm “Free Layout Printing Disabled” occurs.● Please first conduct print test at the free layout setting, and if the alarm “Free Layout Printing Disabled” occurs, delete some print items which are overlapped, or decrease the value of ink drop

use setting.

●Print characters 4-32

●1-line columns with 12×16 or 18 x24 font at Dot mixed interlaced will be split into 2-line (or 3-line) in the IJP and printed. As a result of a sprit 1-line of 12×16 or 18×24, borders of characters might look being pushed down, and set the Line spacing only for the case.

But, uneven printing happens when product speed matching is used at low speed .●The number of print formats that can be set with dot mixture is up to eight at all ink drop charge rules.

And the ink drop use can not be mixed.

4.14.2 Set repeat printing(1)Overview●This is set to print the same print description continuously.●Set the «Repeat intervals» and «Repeat count» for repeat printing.●Repeat printing can not be used when setting «Auto» on «Product speed matching».

Repeat intervals●The print target size can be specified.●This setup is to be performed when the print target is transported while it is in close contact.●After setting in character units or mm units, fine adjust in scan units.●When you want to input in mm units, input “Line speed”.●Perform the following calculations for repeat intervals setup purposes. (i) On an individual scan basis (1-digit character width × number of digits — trailing character correction value) × (print target size/all-digit print width) (ii) On an individual character basis Number of digits × (print target size/all-digit print width)

1

●1-digit character width = (horizontal character size + inter-character space) x character width increase setting

●Trailing character correction value = inter-character space x character width increase setting + 1

(Example) Print target size: 64 mm; all-digit print width: 25 mm; number of digits: 6; character size: 5 × 7 dots; inter-character space: 2 dots ●On an individual scan basis ((5+2)×1×6-(2×1+1))×(64/25)=99.84→100 ●On an individual character basis 6×(64/25)=15.36→15

●Round off the calculation results to the nearest whole number.

Repeat count●You can preset the number of repeats.●If repeat printing is not needed, set the number to «0». ●Printing is performed in accordance with the repeat printing mode setup.●The relationship between the repeat printing mode and the count is as stated below.

8-1 ●Ink and makeup replenishment

● When replenishing the ink and makeup, changing the ink, or performing other work in which the ink and makeup are handled, be sure not to spill the ink and makeup.

If the ink and makeup is accidentally spilled, quickly wipe it off with wiping paper, etc. Do not close the maintenance cover until you verify that the wiped parts are

completely dry. Since the ink and makeup vapor will collect inside the printer especially in the state in

which the ink and makeup was spilled inside the printer and was not wiped off completely, it will cause ignition and fire. When wiping is difficult in the energized state, perform shutdown processing with the

maintenance cover remaining open and turn off the power, then perform wiping again.

● If leaking of the ink and makeup inside the printer was detected during printer operation or maintenance, quickly wipe it with wiping paper, etc. and perform shutdown processing with the maintenance cover remaining open and turn off the

power, then repair the leak. If operation is continued when the ink and makeup is leaking, it will cause trouble and prevent normal printing will become. In addition, since the ink and makeup are combustible, they may cause a fire.● When the ink particles are caught in a beaker during test printing, etc., use a conductive beaker and securely connect the beaker to a ground. In addition, be sure that the print head is not inserted into the beaker. Since the ink particles used in printing are electrically charged, if the beaker is not

connected to a ground, the charge load will gradually increase and cause a fire.

8. INK AND MAKEUP REPLENISHMENT

● Never pour the ink and makeup waste into a sewer, etc. Have the ink and makeup drainage processed by an industrial waste processor as

special control industrial waste and the empty container as industrial waste.● Do not remove, apply unreasonable force to, or bend the piping tubes unnecessarily. Since high pressure is applied to parts of the ink and solvent inside the piping tube,

the ink and solvent may spurt out and get into your eyes and mouth or soil your hands and clothing.

If the ink or solvent gets into your eyes or mouth, immediately rinse it out with warm water and see a doctor.

WARNING

● Pay careful attention to the following items regarding handling of the ink and makeup:Wear gloves and goggles so that the ink and makeup will not directly contact your skin.If the ink or makeup gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and warm water.When taking the ink or makeup in and out of the bottle, be sure that the ink or makeup does not get on the equipment and surroundings. If the ink or makeup gets on the equipment or surroundings, immediately wipe it off with makeup.Since the vapor pressure of the makeup is generally high, if the ambient temperature is high such as in the summer, etc., the internal pressure will rise and makeup could spurt out when the outside cover is removed. Therefore, when unplugging,●do not hold the bottle near your face●place the can on a level surface●open while covering the opening with a rag, etc.
