Tape Clean
Note: The printer is pre-programmed with the tape cleaner option. (TAPE CLEANER IS PURCHASED
SEPARATELY)
The Tape Cleaner is an optional device that uses a moving “tape plate” to clean the residual ink of a
printing pad. The pad/ink reservoir moves back to allow the tape plate to move over the etched image
of the cliché. The pad comes down on the tape plate (via the rear stroke adjustment scale) and
retracts to the up position. The tape plate retracts to a clear position and then the pad/ink reservoir
returns to the front position to re-wet the ink in the etched image. The tape take-up spool is activated
when the tape plate retracts. The amount of tape take-up can be controlled by adjusting the take-up
spool rotary cylinder end stop adjusters. (See tape cleaner manual for further details)
Press the cell to display a numeric keypad. Enter a preset value
which will be the length of time added to the “Pad Down on Tape Tongue” sensor before the pad
returns to the “up” position during a tape clean cycle. This allows the amount of pad compression on
the tape tongue to be adjusted. Use the mechanical scale slider to adjust the down distance for
printing and this adjustment for cleaning.
Press the ON/OFF button to disable/enable TAPE CLEANER
Touch the cell to display a numeric keypad. Enter a preset value which will be
the length of time between a tape clean cycle completed and a new print cycle starting. This allows
the ink in the exposed image to be rewet after the SpaceFrame has returned to the front of the cliché.
Touch the cell to display a numeric keypad. Enter a preset value which will be
the number of cycles before a tape clean is activated.
