16.3 ICE Torus 500 - Preparing for Shipping (Wet - Distributor to
End User)
In order to ship a ICE Torus printer in a fully primed state to an End User, the printhead
Sealing/Protection plate, supplied with every ICE Torus 500 printer will be required.
Ensure the ICE Torus 500 has been fully primed.
Remove the 9 screws (shown in 8.2) securing the printer cover and open the printer.
Replace the stainless steel fitting located on the top of ink reservoir with the ‘shipping cap’,
stored previously. (Section 8.2)
Remove the ‘Nozzle Plate’ and carefully clean any excess ink that may be present in the
‘Catch Bucket’, as shown in the previous section. Carefully store the nozzle plate and screws
during shipping.
Fit the printhead Sealing/Protection plate with the two screws provided. Ensure a secure seal
is formed between the plate and printhead.
Carefully re-close the cover and re-fit the securing screws, ensuring no cables or pipes
become trapped.
The existing (full) ink canister should not be removed, but checked to ensure it is screwed
fully ‘home’
The printer is now ready for shipping.
PLEASE NOTE: On arrival, allow the ink to settle by laying the printer on a flat surface for
several minutes.
Remove the securing screws and open the printer cover.
Remove the ‘shipping cap’ from the ink reservoir and replace with the stainless steel fitting,
as shown in section 8.2.
Close and secure the printer cover.
