Warning and Fault Messages
Printing is suspended when the cover is removed and is resumed a few seconds after the cover is
refitted.
The warning applies to the currently printing pattern - it is reset automatically when printing is restarted.
3.08 Bad Print Head Code
At start up the software checks the type of printhead that is fitted. If it does not recognise the printhead
type this warning is reported.
The system will continue to operate on the assumption that the printhead has not been changed, and
will continue with the same printhead type as used previously (i.e. the currently stored NVR printhead
type).
If a new type of printhead has been fitted, but has not been detected correctly, the modulation frequency,
voltage, etc., will all be incorrect. Therefore, the jet will not break up properly, and a phase fault (2.02)
will probably occur when starting the jet.
3.09 New Print Head Fitted
At start up the software checks the type of printhead fitted. The last printhead type used is stored in the
printer¡¯s memory.
If the currently fitted type is not the same as the type stored in memory then this error is reported and
the type in memory is updated.
This warning should only ever occur when a new printhead is fitted. If it occurs at other times then the
memory may be corrupt, or the printhead connector faulty.
Under normal circumstances this warning just confirms that the printhead type has been changed. The
defaults for VOD, modulation, etc., will be used, until the user enters a new printhead code in the SETUP
menu.
If the wrong type of printhead has been detected for any reason, the modulation frequency, voltage, etc.,
will all be incorrect. Therefore, the jet will not break up properly, and a phase fault (2.02) may occur when
starting the jet, or poor print quality may result.
3.10 Charge Calibration Range
Contact your local EC-JET distributor if this error is reported.
3.11 Safety Override Detected
This warning message alerts the user when the safety override link is fitted.
WARNING: DO NOT START THE PRINTER WHEN THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS PRESENT.
PRINTER SAFETY CIRCUITS AND SENSORS WILL NOT BE FUNCTIONING. IN THE
EVENT OF THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURRING, SWITCH OFF THE PRINTER AND
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EC-JET DISTRIBUTOR IMMEDIATELY.
3.12 Low Pressure
When starting the jet the printer has detected a loss of ink pressure, which will effect the printer¡¯s
performance.
Possible causes
- The main ink filter is blocked.
- Pump output is low.
Contact your local EC-JET distributor.
3.14 Over Speed (Variable Data)
This indicates that the printer has missed at least one pattern because it cannot generate the pattern’s
variable data (e.g. sequential numbers) at the required rate - i.e. the printer was still generating pixel
data for the next “print go” when the “print go” occurred.
The warning applies to the currently printing pattern - it is reset automatically when printing is restarted.
Possible cause
- The amount of variable data in the pattern is too long for the current rate of print triggers. Reduce
the amount of variable data, if possible.
NOTE:
This warning indicates the printer cannot generate pixels fast enough, whereas System
Warning 3.02 indicates the printer cannot print the rasters fast enough.
