SPECIFICATIONS
RESERVOIR ROLL COVERS
AND 4 OZ. RESERVOIR INK CARTRIDGES
Optional Reservoir Roll Covers are available for both side mount and top mount coder installations. When
installed, these covers enable the use of Universal’s patented 4 Oz. Reservoir Ink Cartridges which re-ink the ink
roll automatically during the printing operation. This system can be installed in the field in a few minutes and can
be used with both Microcell and XF Neoprene Ink Rolls.
Unlike gravity fed systems which will allow ink to flow continuously, Universal’s Reservoir Ink Cartridges feed ink
only during the print cycle. Ink feed stops automatically when the coder is idle.
SIDE MOUNT RESERVOIR ROLL COVERS
are
available in sizes to fit all models of the Midsize Coders
and mount with the standard Axle Cap Screw.
TOP MOUNT RESERVOIR ROLL COVERS
are also
available in sizes to fit all models of the Midsize Coder and
mount with the standard Axle Cap Screw.
FIGURE 9
Note:
The Top Mount Reservoir Roll Covers for the Midsize Cod-
ers are mounting configuration specific. These covers must be
ordered in Right Hand Top Mount or Left Hand Top Mount models
to match the mounting configuration of the coder. Figure 10 shows
an MS-RRC1-RT Right Hand Top Mount Reservoir Roll Cover.
4 OZ. RESERVOIR INK CARTRIDGES
are available
in all colors of #1150 Ink. When a Reservoir Roll Cover is
installed on the coder, a 4 Oz. Reservoir Ink Cartridge can
be inserted into the threaded bottle port on the cover. The
plastic ball tip of the 4 Oz. Cartridge operates in contact
with the face or the side of the Ink Roll. As the Ink Roll ro-
tates during a printing cycle, the plastic ball rotates and
meters out a very small volume of ink to re-ink the roll auto-
matically.
Note:
It is important that the 4 Oz. Reservoir Ink Cartridges should
only be installed on the coder when the pre-inked ink roll becomes
depleted of ink. Installing a Reservoir Cartridge on a fully inked Ink
Roll can cause over saturation of the roll.
