 Wear protective clothes while performing operations to the ink system.
 Air contaminated with solvent should be removed to the outside of the building via an unobstructed duct.
 Do not use
plastic vessels for washing because of the risk of static electricity. Metal vessels are recommended.
 Do not leave ink, solvent or wash-up in open vessels.
 Before you approach highly flammable liquids remove static electricity by touching an earthed, metal object
(e.g. the earthed printer housing).
 Only EBS-approved agents may operate the printer otherwise guarantee claims are not valid!!
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
removed in compliance with fire and health and safety at work (HSE) regulations.
 If the clothing has been splashed, remove it as soon as possible.
 Should the eyes or skin get irritated:
EYES need to be rinsed with running water for at least 15 minutes, then you should see an eye specialist,
SKIN needs to be washed with water and soap.
4. Operating the Printer
Before starting the printing system ensure that the appropriate operating conditions are satisfied, paying special
attention to the following:
 power supply: 100 - 240V, 50/60Hz (AC),
 free access to the printer, upright position of the printer on a table or EBS rack, suitable position of
the photo-detector and print head to ensure that objects are labeled properly.
4.1. Switching the Printer On
Every BOLTMARK
®
-series printer is equipped with a power supply with a stand-by circuit. There are two
different power switches. One main switch for standby and one switch for turning the printer on.
The double-pole master switch
 (see Fig. 2.1), which separates two power wires electrically from
the mains; it is located on the right-hand side of the printer next to the mains cord. After the master switch
has been turned on, the printer triggers to the stand-by mode - the red LED on the operation panel
 (see Fig. 2.1)
between the
ON
and
OFF
keys comes on.
If all the connections are made properly (and the master switch is switched on), just press the
ON
button on
the operation panel
. This will initiate the printer starting procedure. While the procedure is being followed, the green
LED above the
INK
ON / OFF
key on the operation panel flashes, indicating the start of the ink flow to the head.
The procedure is finished when the yellow READY LED on the operation panel starts glowing. This means that
the head is ready for printing. A detailed description of the starting procedure is contained in
The
BOLTMARK
®
-series Printer User’s Manual.
NOTE:
While the printer start-up procedure is being followed, the iModule
®
transport valve must be open. An attempt to
start the printer while the transport valve is closed causes the following message to be displayed:
VACUUM DOESN'T INCREASE,
Check iModule
transport protection. If that happens, you should clear the alarm with the
CLEAR
A
LARM
key, open the iModule
®
trans-
port valve and start the procedure for initiating the flow of ink in the head (with the INK ON command in
the SERVICE menu).
