How to Start Ink Core Mix Schedule Manually
To manually start the ink core mix schedule, do the following tasks:
1 Navigate to System menu.
2 Select Short Ink Core mix or Long Ink Core Mix (Figure 3-10 on page 3-10).
The red light located on the printhead and the printer keypad LED will flash to
alert the user working on the printhead that the ink mix sequence is about to start.
Note: Ink mix can be manually initiated any time but the jet must not be running.
If the jet is running when a mixing is required, the mix will run once the jet has
stopped.
Note: The ink core mix will run only if AC power is connected to the printer. If the
printer‘s mains supply is not turned on, the ink core mix will start when the
printer‘s power supply is available.
Note: Printer needs to be powered on, in standby mode or turned on for the ink
mix sequence to run.
Ink Usage and Level Detection
Addition of a new cartridge raises the ink core level to100%.
Note: On initial fill, the ink core level will be at 80%.
With the decrease in the ink quantity, the system begins to perform ink level
detections. The ink core level will then be displayed at the appropriate ink level in
incremental steps.
The user can only add ink when the ink core level is less than 20%. At this point if
the ink is not added, the printer uses the ink until it reaches the level of 0%. At this
point, the user is prevented from printing until more ink is added.
In case the ink core is overfilled (more than 100%), a warning icon appears and
the system disables excess fluid addition.
Ink Compartment Fan
The ink compartment fan cools the ink module and the ink pump.
Printhead and Umbilical
The printhead uses the ink supplied by the ink core module to print the text and
graphic characters on a product. The control signals and ink are sent to the
printhead through the umbilical.
