2. Installing the Printer
2.1. Safety Requirements
All efforts have been put into designing this printer carefully and making it safe and reliable.
However, the safe operation of the device is conditioned by the user’s awareness of, and
obedience to the following safety rules and precautions.
The unit should be operated by the staff that has been trained.
It is recommended that
the operation of the printer is supervised.
1. A fire extinguisher designed to extinguish electrical equipment and flammable
solvent fires must be placed within easy reach of the unit.
2. The unit must not be operated in rooms where an explosion hazard exists.
3. No overprints can be made on products whose temperature exceeds 100°C at the
time of printing.
4. No open fire or spark producing devices are allowed in the area where the unit
operates.
5. Power supply cord must be connected to a socket where an earthed pin is used.
The efficiency of earth should comply with the applicable standards. Additionally, in some
cases the printer-housing earth terminal needs to be connected appropriately
(according to the instructions given in section 2.3.4 Connections).
6. As high voltage occurs in the printer, make sure that all manipulations in the
electrical part of the system and inside the head are performed after power has
been switched off.
7. The outlet of the head must not be directed towards persons, animals or accidental
objects during printing in order to avoid splashing anybody or anything with ink.
8. Protective clothes and possibly protective glasses need to be warn by persons
performing any work on the ink system.
9. No plastic vessels should be used to do the washing as they collect static electricity.
Metal vessels are recommended.
10. Air contaminated with solvent should be carried away to the outside of the building
through a clear duct.
11. No ink, solvent or wash-up (or waste fluid remaining after the head has been washed)
should be left in open vessels as these inflammable fluids may ignite from accidental
sources of fire.
WARNING:
Static electricity collected by people (on their plastic clothes or in their hair, for example) may
spark-over to ink or wash-up vessels when they have been left open. The ink and wash-up
are inflammable and may ignite! Therefore, before you approach the open vessels
containing inflammable fluids, discharge static electricity by touching the metal printer
housing or another metal object that is connected to the earth.
In the case of accident …
When ink or solvent spills occur, the spilled fluid should be wiped with a piece of
absorbent material and then disposed of in compliance with fire, health and safety at work
(HSE) regulations.
If the clothing has been splashed, remove it as soon as possible.
