Assembly and function
72800115 Markoprint X4JET
The LX print head works with original Lexmark ink cartridges. The LX print heads are
available as single model or as cascaded version up to four print heads. A single print
head has a maximum print height of 12.5 mm and increase 12.5 mm with each further
print head as cascaded version (four print heads = 50 mm).
Functional principle:
The ink is located in the ink channels of the printer cartridge, while its viscosity prevents
any leakage.
A heating element, which generates a steam bubble when current is briefly applied, is
fitted behind each jet opening.
This steam bubble gives the ink between the heating element and the jet opening an
impulse and therefore "shoots" a defined quantity of ink out of the opening.
When the steam bubble reforms, a corresponding quantity is drawn from the storage
container and the process can begin again. This process of ejecting an ink drop can be
repeated 12,000 times a second.
There are different special inks, which allow a coding on man surfaces. Specially
qualified are inks for absorbent and semi absorbent surfaces. For non-absorbent
surfaces are solvent inks available. The drying time can be realized with a blower or
heater.
The system is optimized for Weber cartridges.
The ink settings (Fire pulse, spitting, warming) will set optimal by using Weber
cartridges.
These values cannot determine and set by using other cartridges. Then the ink
level is 1% (warning level).
