This indicator is BLUE during standby and RED when the printer is active.
This indicator is an integral part of the WIMS power plug.
This assembly stirs the white ink by rotating the stirrer paddle clockwise for
approximately 10 seconds and then anti-clockwise for approximately 10
seconds. This is repeated while the unit is active
This assembly circulates the white ink by peristaltic action to prevent the
heavy white pigment from settling in the pipes and bulk container.
This button has two functions. In normal operating mode it will over-ride all
settings and force the pump and stirrer to operate continuously.
This mode is entered into, and cancelled, by pressing and holding the button
for more than three seconds. Diagnostic mode is entered by pressing the
button whilst power is being applied to the WIMS.
GREEN indicates that WIMS has operated for a total of less than 1500
hours.
AMBER indicates that WIMS has operated for more than 1500 but less than
1700 hours
RED indicates that WIMS has operated for more than 1900 hours and that
the peristaltic pump tube should be replaced as soon as possible.
This selects the length of time in segments of one hour for which the WIMS
will be at rest between stirring and circulating the ink.
This selects the length of time in two minute segments for which the WIMS
will be actively stirring and circulating the ink.
The WIMS filter is a 20µm in-line filter capsule and is used as a protection
measure for the print head and dampers. Particles or other contaminants
which may be present in or ingress into the white ink should be trapped by
the WIMS filter and therefore not progress through to the dampers and print
head. The WIMS filter should be replaced at least monthly, and more
frequently during high volume consumption of white ink.
