The following processes are involved when the printer is switched off in the regular mode:
Ink is sucked from the ink pipes,
The pipes, gun, nozzle and gutter are rinsed,
The pipes connected to the head are filled with solvent.
NOTE:
If the printer is switched off in the regular mode too often, the ink becomes excessively
diluted and the ink system may be overfilled and then the following message is displayed
to inform you about that:
THE INK SYSTEM CAN BE
OVERFILLED BY MULTIPLE
SWITCHING OFF !!
If you need to switch the unit off for a short time (up to about 1 hour) to perform a service
or other operation, switch it off in the service mode - see section 3.2.2 Switching the
Printer Off in the Emergency and Service Modes.
If the printer needs to be switched off for a longer time (over 1 week), it should be
switched off in accordance with the instructions given in 7.1 Storing the Printer.
3.2.2. Switching the Printer Off in the Emergency and Service Modes
In order to switch the printer off in the emergency mode, press the red
OFF
key and while
holding it down press and release the yellow
CLR.
ALARM
key (see Fig. 3.1). Or alternatively, you
can cut off the supply of electricity to the printer with the main power switch. This type
of switching off is allowed only in the event of an evident printer failure, especially
when the failure to switch the printer off in the regular mode may cause more extensive
or additional damage (such as an ink spill).
NOTE:
On switching the printer off in the emergency mode, do not leave it in the off state for longer
than about 30 minutes. The head may be splashed with ink which may dry. Therefore sprinkle
the nozzle with solvent before you switch the printer off.
You can switch the printer off in the service mode in the same way, as you proceed in the
emergency mode. The service mode is used to switch the printer off quickly (without rinsing)
for a few minutes in order to perform a service operation (see the note below). If the unit
needs to be switched on and off frequently, then the service mode should only be used in
order to prevent ink from getting diluted excessively and the ink system from getting overfilled.
NOTE:
• After the unit has been switched off in the emergency or service modes, wash the inner
part of the head (especially around the gutter) with solvent.
• If you switch on the unit that has been switched off in the service or emergency modes,
the following warning message is displayed on the terminal:
OPERATORS ERROR !!! :
THE HEAD WAS NOT FLUSHED
BEFORE SWITCHING THE PRINTER OFF.
