Page 8: Printing Speed And The Quality Of Printouts
3.2 Printing speed and the quality of printouts Each printer type of the RAPID series could be used for production speeds up to 1000 m/min. However, the quality of the printouts would not be acceptable using the wrong printer for a certain speed. - Page 9 Features and applications Rapid Highspeed The RAPID Highspeed comes with the same print head technology as the RAPID Wire but with a different head cover. The headcover of the RAPID Highspeed is designed for high-speed applications that: • require a larger distance between print head and head cover •...
- Page 10 Features and applications RAPID Universal The RAPID Universal comes with the same print head as the JET3up. The main difference to the JET3up is the higher oscillator frequency of the RAPID Universal. With an oscillator, frequency of up to 128 kHz the RAPID Universal allows a 30% faster operating speed than the JET3up with a 96 kHz oscillator frequency.

Page 28: Adjustment Of The Drop Production Unit
Appendix 7.2.2 Adjustment of the drop production unit Attention • The following steps are only necessary after the entire drop production unit was disassembled and reassembled e.g. after exchanging defective parts. Do not carry out these steps for a standard ink jet adjustment! 1. - Page 29 Appendix 3. For the adjustment of the swivel mechanic of the RAPID Wire and RAPID Highspeed printhead, it is recommended using a feeler gauge. The distance between the nozzle plate and the charging electrode has to be 0,1 mm. Use a feeler gauge with a 0,1 mm blade. Bring the printhead in adjustment position and switch off the ink jet.
- Page 30 Appendix 5. Turn on the Ink flow sensor by touching the button <Ink flow sensor> (1). Then open the nozzle seal completely by using the <arrow key> (2). Check whether the ink jet is in the middle of the charging tunnel and in parallel to the inner edge of the charging tunnel. Readjust the position if necessary.
