4. Put the bottle in place - if no bottle error occurs, the normal status indication should be
displayed in the printer status window.
With this the replacement procedure finishes.
NOTE:
•
Do not refill an empty bottle with ink (solvent), as IMS will consider the bottle unsuitable
anyway. Every new bottle is assigned a time limit and after the expiration of the time limit
the bottle is considered unsuitable even if it is not empty - see section
4.4.6.2 Printer
Operation Time vs. Solvent Consumption Time Limit
. During the normal operation of
the printer the bottle is always emptied before the time limit expires.
•
The empty bottle alarm cannot be cleared with the clear alarm

ALARM
key. The alarm is
cleared automatically only after the empty bottle has been replaced with a new one and
the new bottle has been approved by
IMS .
•
If no new bottle has been approved within 30 minutes since the empty bottle alarm was
indicated, the printing ceases and the following message is displayed:
REPLENISHMENT ERROR .
Replace the bottle with a new one and clear the alarm with the clear alarm key.
•
The above message is also displayed, if the printer is unable to suck any ink (solvent)
after a new bottle has been supplied and approved (because the user has forgotten to
put the sucking pipe into the bottle, an ink system failure has occurred or for another
reason).
Ensure that ink (solvent) is sucked properly and clear the alarm with the clear alarm key.
•
Do not remove the bottle while it is being validated by the system (about 10 seconds).
•
Every bottle can be used only in the printer where it has been approved by IMS . The
approved bottles must not be moved to other printers or used to refill other bottles. The
bottle approved should remain in the printer container until the ink is consumed.
4.4.6.1. Checking the Validity Date
Ink is fit for use over a limited time and the expiration of the time limit is indicated
on the terminal:
From that moment till the moment the ink bottle is replaced with a new one, no
printing is possible in order to avoid any damage to the ink system.
The service life is coded in the transponder and can be displayed and viewed on the
terminal at any time in the following way.
In the main MENU select the BOTTLE INFORMATION item and then the
INK EXPIRE DATE item. The message indicating the expiry date for ink contained in
the bottle that is attached to the ink system is then displayed on the terminal.
