Functionality
•
Ink or conditioner low: When the float drops low in the supply tank, the appropriate beacon light will
illuminate steady. This lets the operator know that is time to have a new supply tank ready.
•
Ink or conditioner out: After the float has dropped low and the pump has turned on 60 times, the
appropriate beacon will flash slowly (1 Hz). Depending on ink type and tank elevation relative to the
ink system, some amount of ink/conditioner will remain in the tank. If this occurs during a flushing
operation, the flushing operation will automatically be stopped. Once the supply tank has been
replaced the flushing operation will need to be restarted.
•
Waste Full: When the float goes high in the waste tank, the waste solenoid will close and the waste
beacon will illuminate steady. The waste solenoid will not open again until the waste tank has been
replaced. If this occurs during a flushing operation, the flushing operation will automatically be
stopped. Once the waste tank has been replaced the flushing operation will need to be restarted.
•
Power Switch or Prime Switch at ink low or ink out: If the power switch or prime switch is toggled
during ink low or after ink out, the pump counter is reset to 50, and the pump will be allowed to pump
10 more times. If there is very little ink left in the tank, the pump will draw in air and pump it into the
regulator(s) and print head(s). This can significantly affect the performance of the print head(s).
