Page 1 HITACHI Printer Model UX Thank you for purchasing the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX. This printer employs a noncontact, ink-jet method to print onto a print target. This instruction manual describes the basic operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and other detailed handling procedures of the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX.
Page 3 Usage Precaution ● Before using the printer, thoroughly read the following safety precautions for optimum printer use. ● All the instructions set forth in this manual are important and must therefore be observed without fail. ● After the manual has been read, it must be stored in such a location that all printer operation personnel can refer to it at all times.
Page 4: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ● You should observe the precautions set forth below in order to use the product properly and avoid endangering you or other persons or damaging property. For the purpose of clarifying the severity of injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence, the precautions are classified into two categories, WARNING and CAUTION, which both describe hazardous situations that may arise if you ignore the precautions and perform an incorrect handling or operating procedure.
Page 5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued) Installation Environment of Printer WARNING ● Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device around the printer. The ink and makeup are both flammable and may cause fire. Fire can be generated by matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas burners, welders, grinders and static electricity.
Page 6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued) Grounding WARNING ● Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply with applicable cords. Properly connect the printer to its dedicated ground. Complete the above procedure to avoid electrical shock hazards. ● When welding, keep enough space between the IJ printer and the welding work area to prevent the arc from starting a fire.
Page 7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued) Ink and Makeup Handling WARNING ● When charging a refill of ink or makeup, exchanging ink, or otherwise handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill ink or makeup. If you spill any ink or makeup by mistake, wipe it off neatly and promptly with wiping paper or something similar.
Page 8 CAUTION ● Only persons who have completed an operator training course for Hitachi IJP can operate and service the printer. If the printer is operated or serviced incorrectly, it may malfunction or break down. ● Do not attempt to make repairs for any purpose other than operation or maintenance.
Page 9: Fcc Notice
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued) Related Regulations WARNING ● Never drain the ink or makeup waste solution into a public sewer system. Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information. ● The printer must be managed in compliance with all appropriate regulations. Read and understand the appropriate Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using any ink or makeup.
Page 10 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued) WARNING <Keep all fire away.> ○ Ink and Makeup are flammable. ○ All fire must be kept away from the machine. ○ Spilled Ink and Makeup must be wiped off and dried up immediately. <Caution when handling Ink/Makeup> ○...

Page 15: Usage Precautions
1. USAGE PRECAUTIONS 1.1 Ink and makeup (1) Ink and makeup replenishment The printer employs an automatic ink/makeup replenishment system. While the printer is operated, the ink reservoir automatically supplies the ink and the makeup reservoir automatically supplies the makeup to the ink main tank at regular intervals.
Page 16: Ij Printer Long-Term Shutdown
1.2 IJ printer long-term shutdown When the IJ printer is shut down for a long time due to production or other circumstances, the ink may accrete inside of the printer and cause such problems as inability to be ejected or to be recovered. When this occurs, the following actions must be taken.
Page 17: Print Head Cleaning
1.3 Print head cleaning Take the following precautions when cleaning ink from around the nozzle. (1) Orient the end of the print head downward and pour makeup onto the dirty part and clean while catching the makeup in a beaker. Do not pour the makeup over this section.
Page 18: Shutdown (No-Cleaning Stop)
1.4 Shutdown (no-cleaning stop) When you press the SHUTDOWN → OK at HOME screen, the printer stops after completing its automatic nozzle cleaning sequence. If you repeatedly activate the SHUTDOWN → OK to stop an operation, excessive makeup will enter the printer, thereby thinning the ink or producing an unduly high ink main tank solution level.
Page 19: Cautions On Operating Time When Printer Is In Service
1.5 Cautions on operating time when printer is in service (1) Cautions when printer is repeatedly stopped immediately after the start of operation If you repeatedly stop the printer immediately after the start of operation, automatic nozzle cleaning at shutdown will cause the ink in the IJ printer to gradually become thinner.
Page 20: Ink Concentration Control
1.7 Ink concentration control (1) The ink is automatically controlled to maintain optimum concentration for printing. (2)If an error occurs in the viscometer which is used to control ink concentration, take care of the following points: There are three types of viscometer errors: “Inside Temperature Sensor Fault”, “Viscometer Reading Instability”, and “Viscometer Reading Out of Range”.
Page 21: Protection Sheet
1.9 Protection sheet A protection sheet is provided to protect the screen display of the IJ printer. This is used to prevent the screen display from becoming dirty, scratched, etc. (1) Installing the protection sheet Clean all dirt, debris, ink, etc., from the panel surface. Use a paper wipe, etc., soaked in water or makeup to wipe the display clean.
