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 as described below.
INSTALLING INK SUPPLY
Warning:
The Flash Point Of The Inks Is About 100 F (38
o
c).
Therefore, these Inks Are Not Suitable For Use In Explosive Environments.
After the print station is completely installed, fill a syringe with air and purge out
all excess solvent. Difficulties in printing will result if excess solvent remains in
the print head. Loosen the screw holding the cartridge clip to the septum and
move it out of the way. Place the cartridge in the well and push down while
turning ¼ clockwise until it is well-seated in the septum. The pierce barb
assembly in the bottom of the septum will pierce the bottom of the ink cartridge.
Retighten the screw holding the cartridge clip to hold the cartridge securely in
place.
