    IMPORTANT NOTE UNIVERSAL products are manufactured to exacting standards and every available step has been taken to assure your complete satisfaction. It is most important, however, that the instructions contained in this manual are read and carefully followed for best results. Failure to do so may result in unsatisfactory performance, damage to the equipment and personal injury.

  • Page 3: Preface

    “non-porous” machines operating has made many com- panies opt for manual marking as a cost effective alternative. UNIVERSAL changed all that with our patented Non-Porous Inking System design. Previously available only on conveyor line mounted coders, this same technology is now available on the new Universal Non-Porous Hand Printers.

  • Page 5: Indexing & Non-Indexing Models

    SPECIFICATIONS INDEXING & NON-INDEXING MODELS Universal Non-Porous Hand Printers are available from the factory in both indexing and non-indexing models. Indexing Hand Printers contain a cam & spring return mechanism (see Figure 1) which returns the print drum to the same rotational position after every imprint is applied. This feature provides print registration capabilities when printing on cut sheets of material or the sides of varnished or waxed cartons.

  • Page 6: Printing Dies

    CODER MODELS DESIGNED FOR METRIC RIBtype® PRINTING DIES Universal also offers Metric RIBtype® Die systems for use in countries where metric character sizes are the standard. The Metric dies are thicker and the rib spacing differs slightly from the standard printing dies therefore the two versions are not compatible.

  • Page 7: Ink Rolls

    SPECIFICATIONS INK ROLLS Universal offers two ink roll options for the Non-Porous Hand Printers. The coders are designed to accommo- date both types of ink rolls without modification. A detailed review of your printing requirements will determine the best choice of ink rolls for your particular application.

  • Page 8: Quick Start

    QUICK START Warning: Non-Porous inks contain flammable solvents. Do not smoke or handle these rolls in the presence of sparks or open flames. Inks will also stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands. Rubber gloves should be worn during the following procedures. INSTALLING THE PRE-INKED ROLL The ink roll you install on the coder must be properly pre-inked.
  • Page 9 QUICK START 4 - Remove the Core Assembly from the Ink Roller Axle. Remove the Instruction Sheet from the Core. FIGURE 9 5 - Separate the two halves of the Core Assembly. FIGURE 10 6 - Place the Pre-Inked Ink Roll on its side and push the Core into the center hole .
  • Page 10 QUICK START 8 - Inspect the Ink Roll closely for excess ink content. The roll should be fully saturated but not dripping wet. If the roller appears to be excessively wet, place a screwdriver through the core and roll the ink roll across a clean piece of paper or cardboard to remove excess ink.

  • Page 11: Installing The Printing Dies

    QUICK START INSTALLING THE PRINTING DIES Printing Dies can be installed on your new printer with the print drum in place or for more convenient installation, the print drum can be removed from the coder. 1 - To remove the Print Drum from the coder, grip the Print Drum to prevent it from turning and remove the Print Drum Knurled Nut by rotating it counterclockwise.

  • Page 12: Adjusting The Die Position On Reset Printers

    QUICK START 4 - When using the smaller individual characters to make up a code message, use the Type Blocking Kit included with your coder to support the leading and trailing ends of the type as shown. Characters with only a 2 or 3 rib backing do not have the stabil- ity of the larger sizes when snapped into the drum cover.

  • Page 13: Adjusting The Ink Roll Eccentric

    QUICK START ADJUSTING THE INK ROLL ECCENTRIC The Ink Roll is mounted on an axle which is position adjustable by rotating the Ink Roller Eccentric Adjusting Knob. This feature is designed to provide compensation for slight variations in Ink Roll diameters. With the Ink Roller Eccentric set at the “MIN”...

  • Page 14: Basic Principles Of Operation

    Preventing rapid solvent loss from the inking system, which would cause the ink roll to dry out, has traditionally been a very difficult task. Universal’s patented Non-Porous Inking System design has overcome this problem by enclosing all of the inking system components in a tightly sealed housing.

  • Page 15: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE PRE-INKING THE XF NEOPRENE INK ROLL Warning: Non-Porous Inks contain flammable solvents. Do not smoke or handle these rolls in the presence of sparks or open flames. Inks will also stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands. Rubber gloves should be worn during the following procedures. A dry XF Neoprene ink roll has the same characteristics as a sponge with the capacity to absorb approximately 1 - 1.5 fluid ounces of ink.
  • Page 16 MAINTENANCE 4 - Using the Ink Roll Hub, push the Ink Roll fully onto the Core. FIGURE 30 5 - After the initial inking, the Ink Roll will be excessively wet. To remove the excess ink, place a round shank screwdriver through the core and roll the ink roll across a clean piece of paper or cardboard to remove excess ink.

  • Page 17: Cleaning The Printing Dies

    MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE PRINTING DIES All inks which are formulated for printing on non-porous surfaces contain a resin binder which bonds the dye or pigment in the ink to the surface of the material being printed. As the ink begins to dry, this binder becomes “tacky”...

  • Page 18: Cleaning The Transfer Roll

    MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE TRANSFER ROLL The surface of the transfer roll is made from DuPont Delrin material and the O.D. of the roll is finely engraved which enables it to hold a uniform film of ink. This surface material is very fragile and under no circumstances should you attempt to clean it with anything abrasive.

  • Page 19: Coder Reassembly Instructions

    CODER REASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS If for any reason, it becomes necessary to disassemble the entire printer, use the exploded parts diagram in the back of this manual for reference during reassembly. There are only 2 critical assembly instructions which require particular attention as follows: ADJUSTING THE TRANSFER ROLL TO DIE FACE CONTACT PRESSURE When reinstalling the inking system housing on the printer frame, first install Pivot Screw “A”.

  • Page 20: Install The Index Assembly

    CODER REASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLING THE INDEX ASSEMBLY All of the Non-Porous Hand Printers are machined to accommodate an Indexing Assembly. If you have a Non- Indexing model, an Index Conversion Kit can be ordered to convert the unit to an Indexing Model. The following steps will guide you through the installation process.
  • Page 21 CODER REASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 5 - Install the screw and washer assembly and tighten fully, then loosen the screw approximately 1/8 turn to allow the slide to move. Test the motion of the Index Slide by moving it back and forth in the slot. It should move freely but must be held securely in the slot by the washer and screw.
