2. Installing the Printer
2.1. Safety and Installation Requirements
All efforts have been put into designing this printer carefully and making it safe and reliable. However,
the safe operation of the device is conditioned by the user’s awareness of, and obedience to the
following safety rules and precautions.
The unit should be operated by the staff that has been trained. It is recommended that the
operation of the printer is supervised.
!
1. A fire extinguisher designed to extinguish electrical equipment and flammable solvent fires
must be placed within easy reach of the unit
.
2. The unit must not be operated in rooms where an explosion hazard exists .
3. No overprints can be made on products whose temperature exceeds 100
°
C at the time of
printing .
4. No open fire or spark producing devices are allowed in the area where the unit operates .
5. The outlet of the head must not be directed towards persons, animals or random objects
during printing in order to avoid splashing anybody or anything with ink
.
6. All activities related to the washing and cleaning of the print heads, ink-system, changing of ink
bottle or any other elements of the system must be performed in protective clothing. Take
care to avoid contact with ink. It is especially important to protect the eyes when performing
these activities . Protective eye-wear is recommended.
7. Complete washing and cleaning of dirty print heads and other elements must be performed
while the device is switched off. Synthetic containers should not be used
as they generate
static electricity. Metal containers are recommended.
8. No ink, solvent or wash-up (or waste fluid remaining after the head has been washed) should
be left in open vessels as these inflammable fluids may ignite from accidental sources of fire.
9. Dangerous mains voltage is applied to the
R230
cable distributor, therefore care should
be taken to perform manipulations in the system cabling after power supply has been
switched off. Remove the outlet plug of the distributor from the outlet socket before you
open the distributor casing
.
WARNING:
Static electricity collected by people (on their plastic clothes or in their hair, for example) may spark-
over to ink or wash-up vessels when they have been left open.
The ink and wash-up are
inflammable and may ignite! Therefore, before you approach the open vessels containing
inflammable fluids, discharge static electricity by touching the metal object that is connected to earth
(for example, to metal parts of the factory conveyor).

When ink or solvent spill, the spilled fluid should be wiped out with a piece of absorbent material
and then removed in compliance with fire and health and safety at work (HSE) regulations.
´
If the clothing has been splashed, remove it as soon as possible.
