Connecting the printer to the ink system
The ink system for the printer is built of the following components (see Fig. 2.3.3.1 ):
•
A carrier to hold a bottle of ink and grips to fix the carrier up.
•
An Ink Monitoring System ( IMS in short).
•
Pressure pipes of polyethylene for supplying ink and compressed air.
•
A bottle of ink (with the capacity of 1 litre – the use of higher capacity bottles may result in
microcompressor malfunction).
•
A cap to be screwed onto the bottle; it contains:
- a tube with an ink filter at one end,
- tube adaptors,
- retaining nuts to secure the tubes on the adaptors.
To connect the ink system to the printer perform the following activities:
a). Screw polyethylene tube into the cap of ink bottle.
b). Secure the tube to the cap to prevent dislodging by screwing down the blue plug.
c). Connect the tube projecting vertically from the non-return valve of the ink bottle cap by screwing
into the input connector (marked INK ) on the printer.
d). Connect the polyethylene tube projecting horizontally from the bottle cap and connect the tube to
the output compressor valve of the printer (marked AIR OUT ) while securing it against dislodging
by screwing in the blue plug.
