User Manual
Getting Started
Type in your message, which will appear in the message area of the display as you type it, and press
the [enter] key when you have finished. You can use the Field Type function to include a time, date or
sequential count, by pressing the [F3] key. This option is fully described later. See “Using the System”.
The character set can be altered by pressing [F1]. Each time the [F1] key is pressed, a different
character is selected.
In the following example, the simple message "TEST PRINT" has been typed:
Press the [esc] key to exit the EDIT MESSAGE screen and the CURRENT MESSAGE screen will be
displayed:
Now press the [start] key on the keyboard. The following message will be displayed in the status line:
“Starting Jet : Please Wait”
When the system is ready to print, the message will disappear and the function key assignments will
change as shown below:
The [F1] key is now primed to "Stop Print", ready to stop the print if you need to.
NOTE:
Printing will stop but the jet itself will remain running. The Stop Print function of the [F1]
key is NOT to be confused with the panel mounted [stop] key which initiates shutdown
of the printer.
Printing
Check that everything is secure (i.e. the printhead is clamped in place at the correct distance from
the printing surface) and start the conveyor. Printing should take place immediately, and if everything
is set up correctly, print quality should be good.
If print quality is poor, recheck all your settings and refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this
manual.
If the cause of the problem still cannot be identified, call your local EC-JET distributor.
Stopping (switching off) the Printer
CAUTION: NEVER STOP the printer by the mains power switch while in the Printing or Jet Running
modes; printhead problems could be caused, and thorough cleaning of the system
would be necessary.
Simply press the [stop] key and the printer will initiate the shutdown sequence, which takes
approximately three minutes. While the machine is shutting down, the following status message will
be displayed in the status line of the display:
