Page 8: Indexing & Non-Indexing Models
SPECIFICATIONS INDEXING AND NON-INDEXING MODELS Universal HPL Hand Printers are available in both indexing and non-indexing models. Indexing printers feature a print drum indexing mechanism which provides print registration capabilities when carton print- ing. When the printer is lifted off the surface, after the print operation, the print drum automatically rotates back to the same starting or “home”... -
Page 9: Printing Dies
SPECIFICATIONS RIBtype® PRINTING DIES Universal HPL Hand Printers are designed to use RIBtype® printing dies which have a molded rib backing. The ribs on the back of the die snap into mating ribs in the Drum Cover on the print drum as shown in Figure 4. -
Page 10: Ink Rolls
SPECIFICATIONS INK ROLLS Universal offers two ink roll options for the HPL Hand Printers. Each has a unique characteristic suitable for a specific printing application. The printers are designed to accommodate both types of ink rolls without modifica- tion. A detailed review of your printing requirements will determine the best choice of ink rolls for your particular application. -
Page 11: Quick Start
QUICK START PRE-INKING XF NEOPRENE INK ROLLS If you received a pre-inked ink roll with your printer, skip this procedure and go to the next page for instructions on roll installation. Universal HPL Hand Printers are shipped from the factory fully assembled and, unless otherwise specified, includes a dry XF Neoprene Ink Roll. -
Page 12: Installing The Pre-Inked Roll
QUICK START INSTALLING THE PRE-INKED ROLL All pre-inked rolls are shipped oversaturated with ink, before installation the excess ink must be removed. Roll the ink roll across a clean piece of paper or cardboard to remove the excess ink. Inks will stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands. Rubber gloves should be worn during the following procedures. - Page 13 QUICK START 5- Place the ink roll on the Axle. Do not allow the ink roll to con- tact the Print Drum Bearer Rings during installation. FIGURE 13 6- Replace the roll cover. Note that the notch in the cover must be aligned with the tab on the base plate.

Page 14: Printing Die Positioning For Indexing Applications
QUICK START PRINTING DIE POSITIONING FOR INDEXING APPLICATIONS Non-indexing models of the HPL Hand Printer do not offer print registration capabilities, therefore mounting the printing dies at a specific location on the print drum is not important. On indexing machines, the position of the die on the print drum will determine the location of the print on the carton. -
Page 15: Optional Type Blocking Kit
QUICK START OPTIONAL TYPE BLOCKING KIT When using small individual characters with only a two or three rib backing, an optional Type Blocking Kit (Stock No. UR-BK) should be used to support the leading and trail- ing ends of the type as shown. Characters which have only a 2 or 3 rib backing do not have the stability of the larger character sizes when snapped into the drum cover. -
Page 16: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE PRINTER / CLEANING THE PRINTING DIES If proper installation procedures are followed, the maintenance of your new printer will be limited to periodic cleaning to remove dust and any ink residue which may accumulate during operation. The frequency of this maintenance procedure is dependent upon the environmental conditions and proper inking of the printer. -
Page 17: Pre-Inking Microcell Rolls
MAINTENANCE PRE-INKING MICROCELL ROLLS The optional Microcell Ink Roll is available for specific applications. Because of the harder density of this material the inking process of the roller must be done slowly. The following instructions will guide you through the proper inking process to insure maximum performance of your printer. -
