8 - DEACTIVATING THE HOT QUICK CODER

8.1

Stopping printing for a short time

If the HQC is deactivated for a short time (during a break), the STOP button on the Control Panel should be pressed. The
thermostat part of the Control box continues to operate normally. When production is resumed, the START button on the
Control Panel must be pressed and the HQC is ready for immediate use.

8.2

Stopping printing for a longer time

If the HQC is deactivated for a longer time (several days):

1.

Stop the supply of products;

2.

Activate the HEAD-OUT button on the Control Panel;

3.

Remove the Ink Roll from the coding part of the HQC;

4.

Activate the HEAD-IN button on the Control Panel. This moves the type holder back into neutral position;

5.

Now switch off the HQC using the OFF button on the Control Panel;

6.

If necessary, remove the air pressure from the system;

7.

If desired, resume the supply of products;

When the system is 

started up again

, you should take account of the requisite heating up time of 15 to 20 minutes

Failure to observe the requisite heating up time of +15 minutes leads to irrevocable damage to the text
material and the Ink Roll!
