  • Page 28: Main Hardware Parts

    Main hardware parts Main hardware parts The VarioPrint i-series is a modular printer. The modules in the front position are mainly used for the job production. The modules in the rear position give access to the consumables, service units, and control units. The VarioPrint i-series can have up to three paper input modules and one or two high capacity stackers.
  • Page 29 Main hardware parts Description of main hardware parts The print module holds the ink printheads and the print belt. The print belt in the print module uses the suction air technique to ensure that sheets re- main flat under the printheads. Sheet cooling decreases the temperature of sheets printed on one side.
  • Page 30 Main hardware parts Description of main hardware parts The fixation module with the fixation drum dries the prints with heated air. The power module is responsible for the power management. Chapter 3 - Explore the printer...

  • Page 31: Paper Input

    Paper Input Paper Input The VarioPrint i-series can handle a wide range of media sizes and media weights, for coated and uncoated media. The very accurate print process and the small gap between a sheet and the printheads require that sheets are in optimal shape and correctly positioned on the paper path. Transfer of sheets during the paper input process [3] Location of paper input process Location of the paper input process...
  • Page 32 Paper Input Description paper path For duplex prints, the prints go for a second pass through the input registration unit and the print module. The paper path module interweaves sheets that were printed on one side with blank sheets. The sentry examines all sheets. The registration input module positions the sheets precisely on the paper path before they enter the print module.

  • Page 34: Print Process

    Print Process Print Process The VarioPrint i-series has a drop-on-demand piezoelectric ink technology. In the print module the print belt transfers the sheets under the printheads. The nozzles of the printheads eject the ink drops. The drum of the fixation module dries the printed sheets. The printer cleans the printheads on a regular base.
  • Page 35 Print Process Description The sheets move in a single-pass way under the ink printheads where the nozzles eject the ink. When the printer has the ColorGrip option, there is an extra set of printheads. The heated, fanned air dries the prints in the fixation drum. Thanks to the air separation technique the prints move from the print belt to the paper path in the fixation module.
  • Page 36 Print Process [11] Nozzle receives an electric signal (A) and ejects an ink drop (B) Drop size modulation The VarioPrint i-series printhead nozzles can produce drops of five different sizes. This mechanism is called drop size modulation. The largest drop size is only used to compensate for a failure of an adjacent nozzle.

  • Page 37: Paper Output

    Paper output Paper output The VarioPrint i-series collects the prints in one or two high capacity stackers. When additional finishing takes place, the prints are transported via the high capacity stacker to the third-party finisher. Location of the paper output process There are two models of the registration output module.
