SIDE CODING
Open the box containing the
GENESIS
equipment and inspect the contents. The
printer is packaged completely assembled for your convenience. Included in the
contents is a mounting kit (Parts #96509-01) containing two bolts, nuts and
lockwashers to be used to install the printer onto a conveyor.
Check the contents of the mounting kit. Contact your local representative
immediately if any parts are missing. In order to complete the installation, an
Allen wrench set (English) is necessary. An Allen wrench set is supplied in the
Operations kit (optional).
Install the mount base onto your production line. In the package is a self stick
template (part no. 96694-01) that will assist in the location of the mounting
holes. Otherwise, drill and tap two (2) 5/16”-18 (6.5 mm) holes that are 2 1/2”
(63.5 mm) apart (center line to center line of the drilled holes). Bolt the mount
base onto the line using the hardware provided in the mounting kit.
Please note:
it is recommended that the printer be mounted in an area free of
dust, that has easy access for maintenance and programming. Bolt the mount
base onto the line using the hardware provided in the mounting kit.
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.
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.
