The validity date can be checked provided that the current date has been set in the
printer properly.
If the date has been set back, no printing can be made
. Any
attempt to start printing results in an error message.
NOTE:
•
After the date has been set back, all bottles are ignored
! No validation or
printing can be resumed until the proper date is set in the printer.
•
Do not set the date ahead because any subsequent attempt to set the proper
date will be recognised as setting back with the above mentioned
consequences.
4.4.6.2. Printer Operation Time vs. Solvent Consumption Time Limit
Every new bottle of solvent is assigned a time limit and after the expiration of the
time limit the bottle is considered unsuitable even if it is not empty. Therefore do not
refill an empty bottle with solvent, as
IMS
will soon consider the bottle unsuitable
anyway. During the normal operation of the printer the bottle is always emptied before
the time limit expires.
In order to check how much time remains until the time limit expires, follow the
procedure below. In the main MENU select the
BOTTLE INFORMATION
item and
then the
SOLVENT - TIME TO WORK
item.
The terminal shows the time (a number of hours and minutes) till the expiry of the
solvent consumption time limit.
If the time limit is exceeded, the no solvent condition is observed in the printer.
4.4.6.3. Accessing Ink Monitoring System Data
You sometimes need to access information that is stored and validated by the Ink
Monitoring System (
IMS
). Such a need occurs especially with clients who operate
EBS
printers with various inks and/or ink systems.
In the main MENU select the
BOTTLE INFORMATION
item and then the
PRINTER/INK/SOLV. TYPE
item.
The terminal operating window displays the table containing all information by type of
printer and consumable, e.g.:
Characters
– –
mean that the parameter is undefined. An error may be indicated, if
ink and solvent parameters mismatch the corresponding printer parameters.
Data on recently validated ink and solvent bottles only are available. A bottle is
validated only when the following message has been displayed for it:
BOTTLE VERIFYING:
WAIT 10 SECONDS PLEASE
4.4.6.4. Checking How Many Text Files Can be Printed with 1 litre of Ink
Sometimes there is the need to evaluate the number of given text files that can
be printed with 1 litre of ink. The number can be used to determine the approximate
ink consumption and thereby the time that remains till the ink bottle is emptied.
However you should remember to set the parameters that impact on ink
consumption, namely
Char. set
,
Typeface
,
Row repetit.
