The print head, photo eye and power cable are delivered with their full extension
available. Follow the cabling for the print head (two cables - one thick, the
electric cabling; one thin, the photoelectric eye cabling) back to the print station.
Loosen the bushings and carefully push the cable into the cabinet to remove the
slack or excess cabling. Re-tighten the bushings after extraction of cabling. The
extra cabling allows flexibility in positioning the print head for proper top code
registration.
Attach the newly-reassembled print
head, array plate down, to the dovetail
extension plate using the black nylon
screw provided in the mounting kit.
Make sure all socket head and the
nylon screws are secure and tightened.
Finally, remove the tubing that is attached to the ink septum assembly and
disassemble the ink line clamp from it. Find the longer piece of tubing in the
mounting kit and install, having threaded the ink line clamp onto this new piece
of tubing.
Before inserting the ink cartridge into the ink well, we recommend flushing the
system with 3400 solvent. In the
maintenance kits, find the syringe, two
pieces of black tubing and a small plastic
filter. Assemble as shown at left: attach
tubing to the end of the syringe; fill the
syringe half-way with solvent; attach the
other end of this tubing to the filter; take
the other piece of tubing and attach one of
its ends to the filter. Take the free end of tubing and attach to the barb in the ink
well.
CAUTION: Barb is Sharp!!!
Empty the syringe watching the streams of solvent as they exit the print head.
There will be ten streams, straight and parallel to each other. After this
operation, fill the syringe with air and purge out all excess of solvent.
Difficulties in printing will result if excess solvent remains in the print head.
After this operation, you are ready to prime the system. Instructions for priming
are found after installation of the ink supply.
