NOTE:
•
After the date has been set back, all bottles are ignored! The validation of bottles
and the printing will not be resumed until the proper date has been set in the
printer.
•
Do not set the date ahead because any subsequent attempt to set the proper
date will be recognised as setting back, and the consequences described above
will apply.
4.4.6.2. Checking the calculated ink consumption level
Every new bottle of ink is associated with a limit of ink drops. When the limit is
reached, the bottle is recognised empty even if it is not completely empty. Ink drops
jetted out of the print head are counted and the ink consumption is estimated.
Therefore no ink should be added to the empty bottle, as the Ink Monitoring System
will recognise the bottle empty soon anyway. During the normal operation of the
printer, the bottle is usually emptied before the limit is reached.
In order to check the calculated level of ink remaining in the system till the limit is
exceeded, go to the main MENU, select the
BOTTLE INFORMATION item and then
the INK LEVEL item.
After the service password has been typed in, the percentage of ink consumed out of
the bottle is displayed in the operating window on the terminal.
If the above-mentioned limit is exceeded, the printer will react as if the bottle of ink
has been drained.
The second lines shows the number of text files currently in use which can be printed
with the ink remaining in the ink bottle and (after a semicolon) the number of text files
which can be printed with the use of 1 litre of ink. These are approximate figures.
If the head is not in the
print
state, then --- is displayed in the second line. If division
results in an overflow, then vvv is displayed in the second line. In such a case, you
need to extend the printed text, for example, 3 times and multiply the results by 3 in
order to get the results for the original, unextended text.
4.4.6.3. Accessing information in the Ink Monitoring System
It is sometimes necessary to access information that is subject to testing and
validation by IMS in the printer. This is especially important when EBS printers with
different inks or different ink systems need to be serviced.
In the main MENU select the BOTTLE INFORMATION item and then the
PRINTER/INK/SOLV. TYPE item.
The operating window on the terminal displays a table containing all required
information according to the type of printer and consumables used, e.g.:
Characters – – mean that a given parameter is undefined. If ink parameters appear to
be inconsistent with the corresponding printer parameters, an error may be indicated.
Bottle data relate to the last-validated ink bottle. A bottle has been validated only
when the following message has been displayed for this bottle:
