7.3.1.9 Solvent Saving Mode
With the <Solvent Saving Mode> function activated the nozzle will be closed after
a time interval set without a PrintGo (PG) signal received.
The tab <Solvent Saving Mode> (2) provides the input field (3)
the time interval. The interval is set by minutes and the maximum is 999 minutes.
As long as the interval is set to 0 the <Solvent Saving Mode> function is off.
Through the open nozzle air can get into the hydraulic system and this will cause a
higher solvent consumption. Therefore the nozzle should only be opened during
printing. It is recommended to close the nozzle during times without printing. The
<Solvent Saving Mode> makes sure that the nozzle will be closed if there are no
PrintGo signals received for a certain time.
With the LEIBINGER Sealtronic
the circulation of the ink will continue as long as the
printer is not in stand-by mode ev
en if the nozzle is closed. Therefore a print start
with a nozzle closed will only take the seconds to open the nozzle.
Sealtronic
nozzle-seal technology prevents the clogging of
ink not only in the nozzle itself but als
o in the return line. Due to this it
provides an instant start-up of the printer, even after long shutdowns.
How is the nozzle sealed:
In order to close the nozzle the gutter tube will move towards the O-ring
of the nozzle and seal it airtight. The result is a hermetically sealed ink
circulation. No air can penetrate into the nozzle and return line and
therefore clogging of ink is definitely eliminated. A time consuming
manual or automatically operated nozzle cleaning process is not
necessary.
There are different ways for closing the nozzle:
1. Manually by using the respective buttons of the main window.
Please see chapter 6.4 User interface and printer operation
2.
Automatically by the operating system when the printer is shut
down.
3. Automatically by using the <Solvent Saving Mode> function.
4. Manually by special functions within the service menu.
