OILER -
The next sub-menu item is “OILER”. This sub menu
item makes the periodic lubrication of the index drive
assembly convenient and effortless. The first para-
meter “OIL EVERY __ INDEXES” allows the system
Operator to enter a number from “0” up to “999”.
The index lubrication system will now dispense oil to
the indexer drive assembly every so many cycles
based on the value entered. For example, if you
enter the number 80, which is the value selected at
the factory, the lubrication system will automatically
dispense oil to lubricate the indexer every 80 cycles.
To change the value, use the “ARROW “ keys to
place the flashing cursor on the value, then use the
numerical keys to select the value, then press the
“ENTER” key.
“INDEX No.” is used as a visual indicator to advise
the system Operator how many index cycles remain
before automatic lubrication will take place.
“MANUAL OILER” permits the lubrication of the
index system manually. To activate the “MANUAL
OILER”, use the “ARROW” keys to place the flash-
ing cursor on the “ON/OFF” indication, and press
the “ENTER” key. This action will activate the lubri-
cant pump resulting in the manual lubrication of the
index system. (See Figure 14 above)
Ink Dip:
The last sub-menu selection under the “OPTION”
menu is “Ink Dip”. This control feature eliminates the
need for the press Operator to manually scoop ink
from the rear ink well area of the screen, into the
active image area of the screen. The “Ink Dip” fea-
ture does this for you automatically. Use the
“ARROW” keys to locate the flashing cursor at the
left of the first menu selection under “Ink Dip”...”Ink
Dip Every”. Now press the “ARROW RIGHT” key to
locate the flashing cursor on the value at the right.
Using the numerical keys, enter the desired number
of print cycles before the ink dip control feature acti-
vates. Now press “ENTER”. For instance, if you
enter the number “10” into the value, then the “Ink
Dip” feature will automatically retrieve ink from the
ink well area of the screen after 10 print cycles have
