Rev AA Ink Compartment 3-9
Videojet 1710 Operator Manual
Note: All new cartridges contain this feature built into the smart chip. If an
incorrect cartridge type is inserted in error, it alerts the operator about the
difference in ink. A warning message appears for the user to correct the problem.
Note: If there is a power interruption while loading a full ink cartridge (one
addition), the printer will check that the same ink cartridge is inserted on power
up. The printer continues to add the ink to the ink core until completion, following
a prompt.
Note: Some inks are made up of two cartridges ‘A' and 'B'. The printer will
prompt the user to add cartridge 'A' (for example, V490A-C). After cartridge ‘A’
is added completely, the user will be prompted to add cartridge 'B' (for example,
V490B-C).
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. If the power was inadvertently interrupted for
more than two hours while in the middle of replacing an ink cartridge, then
re-shake ink cartridge before use.
Ink Mixing
The ink core routinely mixes the ink in the ink core (called ‘Ink Mixing’) to ensure
good ink quality and thus maximum uptime and performance. Ink mixing takes
place as scheduled for every 24 hours and can also be manually initiated (see
Figure 3-10 on page 3-10).
How to Set the Ink Core Mix Schedule
To set the ink core mix schedule, do the following tasks:
1 Navigate to Configure > Set Mixing Time (Figure 3-9 on page 3-10).
2 Adjust the Hour and Minute settings to the required time in 24 hour clock
format.
Note: The default scheduled time for the ink core mix is 06.00 Hours.For
example, if you need to set the mix to complete at the beginning of each shift
which starts at 7.30 am, enter the hours as ‘7’ and minutes as ‘30’.
