4.2. Removing Air from the Ink System
Transport, manipulations to the ink system or other reasons may result in accumulation of air within
the print head. In consequence, ink droplets are not jetted from some or all nozzles.
In order to remove air from the print head, follow the instructions below:
a). Turn the nozzle outlets towards a waste-ink dish (that is used to wash the printer, for example).
b). Press and hold down the
PRINT ON/OFF button on the operation panel on the back wall of the
printer housing. This opens all electromagnets within the head to pressure-release air bubbles
and ink.
c). Continue the air removal process until a regular and continuous ink jet starts flowing out of each
nozzle.
d). Release the PRINT ON/OFF button.
NOTE: The frequent and lengthy use of the rinse function increases ink consumption.

4.3. When Problems Arise while Operating or Servicing the Printer
4.3.1. No labels are printed after the print command has been
accepted
PROBLEM REMEDY
No text is printed after the
printer has been switched
on and the printing started
with the PRINT
ON/OFF
button (the diode PRINT
has started emitting green
light).
•
Check whether components of the ink system are properly
connected and make sure that there is some ink in the bottle.
•
Check for proper settings of the print parameters. If Impulse
generator = External , check whether the shaft-encoder axle
rotates. If Text repetitions is not set to Continuous , check
whether the photo-detector detects moving objects.
•
Check for proper settings of other parameters.
4.3.2. Choked nozzles in the print head
