Summary of Contents for Hitachi UX-D860WP

  • Page 1 Thank you for purchasing the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX Twin Nozzle. This printer employs a noncontact, ink-jet method to print onto a print target. This Basic operation manual describes the basic handling procedures of the Hitachi IJ Printer Model UX Twin Nozzle.
  • 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 ● 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 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 15 2. USAGE PRECAUTIONS 2.1 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 2.2 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 2.3 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 2.4 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 2.5 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 2.7 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 25 (2) Message For details of message, refer to "9. When Warning or Fault was generated". [New HMI] Close Message name Message type HELP The Description, Fault × Cause and Main Ink Tank Too Full No.0002 Solution Message No. The ink level in the main ink tank is too high. Cause   1.
  • Page 26 4. INSTALLING PRECAUTIONS 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. Arcs may be generated from open-type relays, switches, and brush motors.
  • Page 27 (9) When installing the print head and print head cable, comply with the following conditions or it will increase the risk of degraded performance of the ink supply and ink recovery behavior. When positioning the end of the print head above the printer main body installation surface,ensure that the distance between the end of the print head and the installation surface does not exceed 1.5 m.
  • Page 28 (13) When connecting an exhaust duct to the printer, install a damper and adjust the wind velocity at the intake port to 0.3 to 0.5 m/s. (Use an anemometer for verification. If the wind velocity is too high, the makeup consumption increases.) Connect a duct to this port (50 mm in diameter).
  • Page 29 5. INSTALLATION CHECK ITEMS 5.1 Print head air purge If the makeup remains in the electrode section after cleaning or if you use the IJ printer at a high humidity, moisture condensation may occur within the print head, causing leakage from the deflection electrode section. It is also important to remember that dust or splashed ink accumulation on the deflection electrode section may cause leakage.
  • Page 30 6. ELECTRIC SIGNAL CONNECTION 6.1 Wiring precautions (1) If noise enters the IJ printer from the outside, there is the danger of erroneous operation or trouble. To improve noise resistance, perform wiring work as follows: Separate the power cable to the IJ printer from other power lines for powering use (especially, power line for a speed control inverter, etc.).
  • Page 31 (3) Precautions related to welding current of welder Signal (weak electric) ground and frame ground are connected because the ink drops of the IJ printer are electrically charged. The ink drops are electrically charged by impressing a Ink column Charge electrode Nozzle voltage between the charging electrode and ink column as shown at the left.
  • Page 32 7. BASIC OPERATION 7.1 Start operation 7.1.1 Start operation CAUTION ● The ink and makeup contains organic solvents. When handling the ink and makeup, wear protective gloves and goggles so that the ink will not directly contact your skin. ● An LCD touch panel is used for the screen. Do not press the buttons with unreasonable force.
