User Manual
Getting Started
The printer is now switched on and awaiting further commands. Explanation of screen contents are
detailed in “Controls and Indicators”.
Checking the Current Status of the Printer
The EC-JET printer provides two on-screen visual guides as to its current status (condition) - the
System Status Line and the PRINT STATUS screen.
System Status Line
System Failures
System failures occur when a condition is detected that prevents normal printer operation.
If a System Failure message is displayed, contact your local distributor immediately. Note any
information from the display as this will help diagnosis of the problem.
Print Failures
Print Failures occur when a condition is detected that affects printing.
If a Print Failure occurs, a message is displayed on the System Status Line and, if the jet is running,
a jet shutdown sequence is started.
System Warnings
System Warnings inform the user of problems which may affect the operation of the printer but are
not serious enough to shutdown the printer. However, they should be acted upon at the earliest
possible opportunity.
Information Messages
There are two basic types of information messages; these are user prompts and current task
information. User prompts give helpful information on how to perform the selected function. Current
task messages inform you of the process which the printer is currently performing.
Print Status Screen
The PRINT STATUS screen shows the current state of the printer with respect to jet status, ink and
solvent levels and print count, and lists errors logged in the system.
The PRINT STATUS screen is accessed by pressing the F2 key from the CURRENT MESSAGE
screen. (See“Using the System” - “Checking the PrinterStatus”)
Creating a Simple Message
Select the New Message option by pressing [F3]. If there are no messages stored in the printer
memory, selecting F3 : New Message from the CURRENT MESSAGE screen will display the
MESSAGE HEIGHT menu:
Select the raster type you require by moving the cursor next to it and pressing [enter].
The EDIT MESSAGE screen will then be displayed:
