Setting of the printing conditions

Set the condition to print the message data.
The printing conditions can be set for each message.
Speed
Set the conveyor speed.
Set the conveyor speed correctly, based on the measurement using a tachometer, or the calculation of the work
speed. When the specified print speed differs from the actual conveyor speed, the character width or the print
position of characters may be different from those specified.
If the conveyor speed changes considerably, detect the speed using an encoder.
Caution
To print without using an encoder, maintain a constant conveyor speed.
Careful attention is required when the work under printing is transferred from a conveyor to
another. When the work is transferred to another conveyor, speed change or vibration may
occur, which may result in a wrong character width, or unstable printing.
If there are many types of works in length, install the printhead so that printing is possible
onto the longest work.
Thinning -- Value
Thinning is to insert an ink drop not to be used for printing between the ink drops to be used for printing, in order
to improve the print quality. It is set to the maximum available value when "Auto" is selected; accordingly,
normally select "Auto".
The thinning range is 0 to 15. However, the actual available range depends on the number of vertical dots, print
speed, and dot pitch. The larger the thinning number, the higher the print quality; however, the slower the
available print speed.
If there are any layouts where the value of pitch magnification is 2 or larger, this item is not available. "Auto" is
considered to be selected.
Thinning -- Way
Select the thinning method from "Variable" or "Constant".
Type Description
Variable Sets the thinning of each layout to the maximum available value.
Sets the thinnings of all layouts to the same value, i.e., the maximum value
Constant
commonly applicable to all layouts.
If the pitch magnification values of all layouts are 1, this item is not available. "Constant" is considered to be
selected.
40
Character height
Set the character height in 29 levels. The actual character height on a work depends on the distance from the
printhead to the work, in addition to this setting. When the distance to the work is constant, the character height
29 is about 12 times as high as the character height 1.
Horizontal dot pitch

It is to set the dot pitch in the character width direction. The setting range is 0.10mm to 10.00mm in increment
of 0.01mm.
Density
This setting is to change the “pseudo-density” of characters to be printed. Changing this setting does not
actually make the ink thicker.
The density is controlled by printing repeatedly immediately after printing a vertical line of the dots. The setting
range is 1 to 4.
With the density 2, for example, the same content is printed once again immediately after printing a vertical line
of the dots.
Print direction and character orientation

The print direction is to specify whether to print a character from the head or from the end first.
"Forward" print direction: Prints from the head of the character to be printed.
"Reverse" print direction: Prints from the end of the character to be printed.
Print direction
Forward Reverse
The character orientation is to specify whether to print in an upright or inverted position by message.
"Upright" character orientation: Prints in an upright position by message.

"Inverted" character orientation: Prints in an inverted position by message.
Memo
The character direction can be specified as an attribute at the time of module registration. The
character direction is set by module.
For details of the character direction, refer to "Character direction" on page 59.

Print position
The print position represents the distance after the print timing is received until the actual printing starts by
ejecting ink from the head. However, the actual print position may be different from the specified position
depending on the head angle, sensor position, error of the sensor input timing, etc. In order to print correctly in
the desired print position, specify the print position in the following procedure.
C Temporarily set a desired print position, and then perform test printing.
Memo
For test printing, refer to "3-9 Maintenance information - Test printing" on page 206.
D Measure the error between the desired print position and the actually printed position.
E Iferror

the temporary setting.
F Repeat test printing until the desired printing position can be achieved.
42
Setting of the photocell sensor
Set the photocell sensor to start printing. In normal operation, it is turned ON only when a work passes in front
of the sensor; however, printing trouble may occur due to chattering depending on the shape and color of the

Speed-following thinning
When using the encoder, the conveyor speed changes generally.
When the speed-following thinning is set to "Apply", the maximum print quality and stable slant are achieved
by detecting the instantaneous speed while printing, and by applying the thinning as much as possible (when
the thinning is set to "Auto").
If acceleration exceeds a certain point, printed characters expand. With manual thinning, the specified thinning
number is the lower limit of thinning, and expansion of characters occurs also when no more thinning can be
applied. (To use this setting, it is recommended to set to "Auto".)
If the excessive frequency detection is set to "Apply", an excessive frequency error occurs in these cases.

2-2 Various modules

This section describes the functions and settings of each module.
Calendar module
It is used to print the manufacture date, use-by date, etc., while updating them automatically. Up to 40 calendar
modules can be registered. The use-by date is defined as an offset to the manufacture date (e.g., 1 month after
the manufacture date). The offset of the use-by date can be set in units of year, month, day, hour, and minute,
respectively.
Caution
The basic clock for setting the date and time of each calendar module uses the system clock.
Adjust the system clock to the current time, before setting the date and time of the calendar
module. It should be noted that changing the setting of the system clock may affect the date
and time of each calendar module.

Numbering module
This function is used to update and print the number whenever a work is conveyed.
Character-method numbering
Character-method numbering allows you to count with any specified letters instead of with normal numbers.
You can specify the letters to be used and their counting order (magnitude correlation) as you like. And also,
you can specify the possible range of each digit.
To use character-method numbering, Select the "Character method" in [Menu] > [Function] > [Numbering

Zero suppression in the numbering module

This section supplements the case when using “Zero suppression”.
For cases where you specify zero-suppression using the attribute of the digit code:
(You can input text characters as well as the digit code.)
Example: "001 time" in the numbering printing "066 time" after count-up
No: 001 time No: 066 time
Move to front: 1 time Move to front: 66 time
Left-aligned: 1 _ _ time Left-aligned: 66 _ time
Right-aligned: _ _ 1 time Right-aligned: _ 66 time
(The actual entry should be "F2", "F1", "F0" and "time(s)".)
For cases where you specify zero-suppression using detailed setting of the numbering:
Example: "001" in the numbering printing "066" after count-up

No: 001 No: 066
Move to front: 1 Move to front: 66
Left-aligned: 1 Left-aligned: 66
Right-aligned: _ _ 1 Right-aligned: _ 66
In such cases, there is no difference between "Move to front" and "Left-aligned" (except the "CM2 mode").

Bar code module

Print the bar pattern corresponding to the data currently registered. 20 bar code modules can be registered.
The bar element size can be specified as needed. The printed bar codes are read by a scanning device, such
as a reader; therefore, the print state is very important. In particular, the read rate depends on the printing
environment and the performance of the scanning device such as a reader; accordingly, it is recommended to
perform a read test in the actual operating environment.

Variable character
In addition to the common characters listed below, variable characters (module type and number) can be
registered with the bar code.
Variable character Screen display

Calendar module L01 to L40
Numbering module N01 to N40
Full-width letters that can be converted into half-width ones (of which ASCII codes are between 0x20
and 0x70) are converted into half-width ones.
Any letters which cannot be coded are removed.
For ITF, if the length of letters is not an even number, 0 is added at the end automatically.
For JAN, if the length of letters except the check digit is less than 7, 0 is added at the end
automatically so that the length will become 7. If the length is between or equal to 8 and 11, 0 is added
at the end automatically so that the length will become 12. If the length is over 12, the excess letters
are truncated.
If the function setting is configured to use character-method numbering, numbering characters
cannot be registered.

Check digit
It is possible to calculate automatically and add a check digit (C/D) to the bar code. It is calculated for the entry
field where the check box is checkmarked.
Code 128
Optimization
This product does not adopt the code group A of the code 128, since the most part of them overlap with the
code group B, and the others are the special codes used for the ESC sequence, etc. Accordingly, this product
uses the code group B, and abbreviates the successive numeric part using the code group C in order to reduce
the code length, which is called optimization. For the successive numeric part of 6 digits or more, it is changed
to the code group C. With the code group C, 2 digits of numbers can be expressed by 1 character; therefore,
it is possible to reduce the code length when numbers are positioned successively.
EAN 128 compliant
In EAN 128, "FNC1" character is added to the start of the data. The "FNC1" character can be entered by
pressing the "F1" button.
With the EAN 128, the A.I. (application identifier) is put in parentheses. The parentheses are displayed with the
OCR character, but not included in the code. To print without including the parentheses in the code, enter the
"Hide" character to the front of "(" and")".
Caution
Check digits are not printed as OCR characters.
Hide character
The "Hide" character can be entered to the Code 128. The character positioned at the back of the "Hide"
character is included in OCR characters, but not in the bar code. For example, to exclude "(" and ")" from the
bar code, enter the "Hide" character to the front of "(" and ")". The "Hide" character can be entered by pressing
the "Hide" button.

CalendarThe calendar module is used to update the date and time, etc. automatically.
20 items of clock modules (C01 to C20) and 20 items of Use-by date modules (L01 to L20) can be registered
in the calendar module.
Caution
The basic clock for setting the date and time of each calendar module uses the system clock.
Adjust the system clock to the current time, before setting the date and time of the calendar
module. It should be noted that changing the setting of the system clock may affect the date
and time of each calendar module.
To print the manufacturing date, etc., create a message data using the clock module. To print the date and time
after the specified period of time from the manufacture date, such as the use-by date, create a message
module using the use-by date module.
While any time can be specified for the clock module, specify the offset time based on the clock module for the
use-by date module. The clock module number corresponds to the use-by date module number.

To use the use-by date module, be sure to check the offset calculation method. For details of
the offset calculation method, refer to "Offset calculation method" on page 134.
133
2 Detailed setting
Offset calculation method

Calculate the use-by date using the offset time currently specified for the use-by date module, and specify the
date to be printed when the calculated date does not actually exist.
Memo
When the offset time of "1 month" is set against the base time of "January 31", the offset date
would be "February 31", which does not actually exist.
This setting is enabled when "Month" or "Year" is used for the offset time, and the offset date determined by
the offset calculation method does not actually exist.

Month end Sets all the dates that do not exist to the date of the end of the relevant month.
Carry-over Adds the days that do not exist to the next month, and returns to the 1st.
Month start Sets all the dates that do not exist to the 1st of the next month.
C Add the "Minute" of the offset time to the time currently set in the clock module.
If the added result exceeds "60", add 1 to the "Hour".
D Add the "Hour" of the offset time to the time currently set in the clock module.
If the added result exceeds "24", add 1 to the "Day".
E Add the "Month" of the offset time to the time currently set in the clock module.
If the added result exceeds "12", add 1 to the "Year".
F Add the "Year" of the offset time to the time currently set in the clock module.
G Add the "Day" of the offset time to the time currently set in the clock module.
If the added result is larger than "31", subtract the total number of days of the month calculated in E.
If it is still larger than "31", subtract the total number of days of the next month. Repeats until it becomes
smaller than "31".
If the above calculation is made for "December", add 1 to the "Year".
H If the date determined in C to G actually exists, use the date as the use-by date.
If it does not exist, select the use-by date by the offset calculation method.
134
Simply, add 1 to the Month.

There is nothing to do with the setting by the offset calculation method, since the date exists after 1 month. In
such cases, the dates of March 29 to March 31 are not printed.

3 Maintenance
In order to use this product in a good condition, and maintain the satisfactory quality, read thoroughly this
chapter and perform the appropriate maintenance work.
This product adopts the automatic nozzle cap system using a gutter, which eliminates solidification of ink and
thus prevents the nozzle from being clogged. In addition, the automatic viscosity control mechanism and
automatic timer start function ensure the stable print state.
Even if irregular printing is seen, it can be recovered by a simple work or prevented by the daily maintenance
work.
3-1 Periodic inspection

Failure to carry out periodic inspection may cause trouble and defective printing. Perform the appropriate
inspection according to the following instruction. The items to be inspected are as follows.
Period Item
Check the electrode unit and gutter for dirt, check for the ink and solvent level,
Daily inspection check for the amount of waste solution,and check if the insulation tape is
peeling off.
Weekly inspection Check for the ink pressure.
Monthly inspection Check the air filter, and check for the expiration date.
146
3-2 Daily inspection
Checking the electrode unit and gutter for dirt
The electrode unit consists of the charge electrode, detection electrode, and deflection electrode.
If the charge electrode or detection electrode is stained with dust or ink, the ink droplets may not be formed
normally, the Alarm lamp near the display screen is turned on, an alarm buzzer is triggered, and printing is no
longer performed.
The deflection electrode or gutter stained with ink may also cause defective printing.
To check the electrode unit for stain, change to the stop mode, then remove the head cover. For details of
cleaning electrode unit, refer to "Cleaning the electrode unit" on page 156.
For details of checking and cleaning the gutter, refer to "Cleaning the gutter and the ink outlet" on page 159.

Checking for the ink and solvent level

It is recommended to check the level in the ink reservoir and solvent reservoir so that the ink and solvent may
not run out during operation. If the ink or solvent level drops below the specified level, the warning or alarm
screen appears on the operation panel, a lamp on the operation panel is turned on, and an alarm buzzer is
triggered. Ink and solvent can be supplied even during operation; therefore, supply the ink and solvent as soon
as possible.
For details of checking and supplying the ink/solvent, refer to "Supplying the ink and solvent" on page 177.
Solvent reservoir
Ink reservoir
Caution
The ink has an ink-type specific expiration date under a general environment. Using the ink
beyond the expiration date may result in defective print quality. Be sure to replace with new ink
even when the ink is not consumed completely within the expiration date due to low ink
consumption. For expiration date of ink or solvent, refer to the separate"Ink compatibility table"
or description on bottle label.
Memo
The solvent is consumed about 1 litter in 250 hours on average, although it depends on the
operating conditions. This is only a standard in average printing conditions. Be sure to control
it according to the particular operating conditions.
148
Checking the insulation tape inside the head cover
The insulation tape prevents leakage of high voltage from deflection electrodes to the head cover.
Check if the insulation tape is peeling off when opening the head cover in daily maintenance.
Before peeling of the tape worsen, order replacement of the insulation tape to the nearest sales office.
Caution
Do not remove the insulation tape, even if it is peeling off.
Leakage of the high voltage would cause defective printing and may occur or inside of printhead may be
stained with ink.

When the deflection electrode, charge electrode, or detection electrode is stained with ink or foreign
material.
When the warning code screen is displayed
When printing is irregular
When printing is incomplete
When the character height cannot be enlarged
C Change the head to the stop mode.

D Put the head in the container for maintenance to

E Remove the head cover according to the procedure

described in "Installing and removing the head cover"
on page 154.
F Fix the electrode unit in place according to the

procedure described in "How to fix the electrode unit in
place" on page 155.
G Hold the printhead with the electrode unit faced down,

and wash off the dirt on the charge electrode (C) and the
detection electrode (B) with special cleaning solvent
using the washing bottle.
If the deflection electrode (A) is dirty:

-> If the parts are terribly dirty, wash away the dirt A B C
with cleaning solvent.
If the charge electrode (C) and the detection

electrode (B) are dirty:
-> Wash the groove between the electrodes with
cleaning solvent.
Caution
Be sure to clean the printhead with the electrode
unit down.
156
H After cleaning, blow away cleaning solvent using the
manual pump supplied, and then dry sufficiently using a
dryer. In particular, dry carefully the gap between the
charge/detection electrodes.
Caution
If the cleaning solvent does not evaporate and
remains on the charge electrode or the detection
electrode, it may be recognized as foreign
material adhered on it, and the warning code
screen is displayed.
If drying is insufficient, characters may be printed
small, and a "charge error" may be triggered.
Memo
Using dry compressed air is effective, since it
removes the dust around the electrodes.
Precautions for using dryers
- The electric cables are vulnerable to high
temperature; therefore, keep the dryer at some
distance when it is used for drying.
- Dry the parts with hot air for about 10 seconds,
and then send cold air for about 10 seconds in
order to cool the electrodes.
- Drying time varies depending on the type of
cleaning solvent. Dry sufficiently by alternating
hot and cold air.
I Reinstall the electrode unit according to the procedure

described in "How to fix the electrode unit in place" on
page 155.
J Install the head cover according to the procedure

on page 154.
157
3 Maintenance
Drying the deflection electrode

If the cleaning solvent has spilled accidentally over the deflection electrode while cleaning the electrode unit,
or if the required printing character height cannot be achieved due to high humidity inside the deflection
electrode or the printhead by the effect of weather, surrounding environment, etc., it is necessary to dry using
a dryer. Apply hot air to the deflection electrode plate uniformly from the outside using a dryer.
Danger
Any damage on the deflection electrode surface may cause an electric shock, or fire due to
electric leakage or discharge. Careful attention is required to prevent the electrode surface
from being damaged during maintenance, etc.
The electrode unit is designed so that any high voltage cannot be applied with the head cover
removed. However, pay careful attention just to be safe while working with the head cover
removed.
158
Cleaning the gutter and the ink outlet
When checking the gutter for stain.
When the gutter is stained with ink or foreign material.
When printing is incomplete on the low deflection side.
When printing is irregular on the low deflection side.
Memo
What is the low deflection side?
With the continuous ink jet printer, characters are drawn by deflecting (bending) the ink flow by
electric force, which is normally propelled straight toward the gutter. Among the dots that make
up a character, the less deflected one (near from the gutter) is called the low deflection side
dot, whereas the more deflected one (far from the gutter) is called the high deflection side dot.
The top and bottom of characters do not necessarily correspond to the high and low deflection
sides, since they change according to the installation direction and setup of the printhead.
Open the printhead to check whether the top or bottom of characters corresponds to the high
or low deflection side.

Memo
If any external vibration reaches the printhead, the ink flow direction may be disturbed
temporarily, and the ink may hit the gutter. As a result, some blocks of ink deposit on the
edge of the gutter. Even without vibration, the gutter is gradually stained with ink due to use
for a long period of time.
If the gutter gets stained with ink, the normal ink droplet ejection may be blocked, which may
result in defective printing (in particular, some dots are missing on the low deflection side).
160
Cleaning the nozzle
Memo
The nozzle hole is very small. While the unit is used for a long time, foreign material gradually
deposits around the nozzle hole, which may block the normal ink droplets to be formed, and
deteriorate the print quality.
