SPECIFICATIONS The Universal HP-100NI, HP-200NI and HP-200 hand printers are designed for the hand application of printed data on cartons, bags and other flat, porous surface materials The HP-100NI and HP-200NI machines are non-indexing or continuous roll de- signs. The HP-200 machine is an indexing or spot printing design which allows for accurate print registration and eliminates duplication of data.
Microcell rolls should be inked with Universal No. 1150 porous coder ink only. It is extremely important to fol- low the inking instructions or roll performance will be adversely affected.
QUICK START PRE-INKING THE MICROCELL INK ROLL Universal Hand Printers are shipped from the factory fully assembled and, unless otherwise specified, include a dry Microcell Ink Roll. The Ink Roll must be manu- ally pre-inked prior to use. The initial inking of a dry roll is a critical process. The following instructions will guide you through the inking and installation process and have your coder ready to use in a few minutes.

QUICK START 5 - Rotate the Ink Roll Eccentric Knob until the Ink Roll Axle is at its farthest position away from the print drum. In this position, the ink roll will not contact the print drum during installation. FIGURE 7 6 - Remove the Ink Roller Axle from the coder.
QUICK START 9 - Adjust the Ink Roller Eccentric Knob to a position where the ink roll just contacts the die faces when the print drum is rotated. Ink should only be applied to the die face, not the sides or backing of the die. Excessive contact pres- sure will result in an excessively wet and smudged impression.
MAINTENANCE REPLACING THE DRUM COVERING Replacing the Drum Covering requires removal of the print drum. The following steps explain the process. For Indexing Coders, see Page 12 under Index Spring Replacement for Print Drum removal instructions. 1 - Lay the coder on it’s side as shown and using a 5/64”...

MAINTENANCE ASSEMBLY OF THE INK ROLLER ECCENTRIC Proper installation of the Ink Roller Eccentric Assembly is critical to the perfor- mance of the coder and uniform inking of the printing dies.
