ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 1: Safety and Ink Usage Section 1: Safety and Ink Usage Following is a list of safety symbols and their meanings, which are found throughout this manual. Pay attention to these symbols where they appear in the manual.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 1: Assemble Bracketry to Conveyor 1. Firmly tighten all fasteners. NOTE: Ensure bracketry is square and level. OPTIONAL HMI CONTROLLER / MOUNT PRINT HEAD CONVEYOR MOUNT (400201 FOR Mark 2 PRINT HEAD)
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 2: Assemble Print Head onto Bracketry NOTE: The dovetail adapter and mounting bracketry can be mounted on either side of the print head system. DOVETAIL ADAPTER AND RETRACTING BRACKET AND CAN BE MOUNTED...
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 3: Mount and Connect Power Supply 1. Install power supply with power cord mains facing the conveyor and DC output facing out towards the rear of the print system. 2. Firmly tighten fasteners to bracketry or convenient location.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 4: Powering up the Print Heads 1. Install the power cord into the first print head in the system (from now on called the Primary print head). The power supply cable or jumper cable can be plugged into either power port.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 5: Adjust Print Head to Substrate WASTE BOTTLE STATUS LED AT TEMPERATURE LED 1. Tighten bracketry to conveyor such that the print head is perpendicular to the carton; however, INK CARTRIDGE ALL CHANNEL STATUS LEDs ensuring that the print head is level from front to back.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 6: Print Head Level and Tilt Print Head Level 1. Slightly loosen the Slide Bracketry Screws shown in the diagram in “Step 5: Adjust Print Head to Substrate” on page 12. 2. When the print head is perpendicular to the substrate, tighten the Slide Bracketry Screws.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 7: Install Ink Cartridge 1. Remove the shipping plugs from the rear and top of the Ink Supply Module. REMOVE Retain plugs for potential later use. 2. Install the ink cartridge and vent filter as shown.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 8: Priming the Print Head and Testing Print Quality 1. Ensure all print heads are at operating temperature. SHIP CAP INSTALLED 2. Ensure that the shipping cap is installed for priming, otherwise ink will overflow and cause a mess.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 9: Mount Photosensor and Encoder Photosensor 1. Mount the photosensor (kit 400203) in the roller bracket attached to the Printer Module and route the cable as shown in one of the two shown configurations depending on the application.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 10: Daisy-Chain Print Heads, HMI, and/or Customer Network OPTIONAL 1. Install secondary print heads as shown in the previous steps. 2. Secondary print heads should be connected between the upstream print head Ethernet out port to the input port on its print head as shown as shown in the diagrams below.

ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 2: Quick Start Step 11: Cap Unused Ports After the installation is complete, it is recommended that all unused ports be capped to prevent accidental electrostatic discharge into a connector. The Primary print head should have all ports populated with a USB DEVICE OR cable.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Following are the recommended maintenance procedures to keep the ResMark 5000 High-Resolution system printing cleanly and efficiently. System Maintenance SHIPPING CAP STORAGE Intermittent (as required): 1. Be sure the photosensor is clean and free of debris.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Ink Supply Module Maintenance Daily / Shift Startup / Periodic 1. Do not remove the ink cartridge. Use a low pressure air nozzle (5psi) and / or maintenance spray and a lint free cloth to remove debris buildup on and around the Ink Supply Module.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Cleaning Maintenance System The cleaning system is an invaluable maintenance tool for routine cleaning of loose debris from the print engine orifice plate. The images below demonstrate print before and after the cleaning.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Printer Module Replacement The normal life of a high-resolution piezoelectric printer is dictated by the amount of debris the orifice plate encounters during the coding application. Fine corrugate will fly into the orifice holes and clog / disrupt printing. Diagraph leverages the remanufacturability of its high- resolution technology by making it easy to remove the Printer Module on-the-fly and live (no need to disconnect ink or electrical lines).
Section 4: Troubleshooting The ResMark 5000 ink jet system incorporates advanced designs, both in hardware and in software. However, if the system ever fails to perform properly, some built-in indicators will help in troubleshooting. This section will help minimize system downtime and explain some of the diagnostic features built into the system.

ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 4: Troubleshooting Problem: Missing bottom print channels. Possible Cause: Ink build-up on lower orifices. Action: Check front to back level of print head. Problem: Fuzzy Print. Possible Cause: Print head too far away from substrate. Action: Move print head to within 1/8" from product.
Page 26
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Section 4: Troubleshooting Problem: Stretched out, light print, checkerboard pattern. Possible Cause: Incorrect encoder, or incorrect line speed (set too low) if using internal encoder. Action: Check for correct encoder (must use part # 400206). Problem: Short image, dark print, checkerboard pattern.

ResMark 5000 Mark 2 and Mark 4 Print System The ResMark 5000 print system consists of an Ink Supply Module (ISM) and Printer Module (PM). The ISM is comprised of a Smart CPU printed circuit board, ink cartridge, ink manifold, ink pump, vacuum waste system, and male coupling. The PM contains a female receiver coupling, ink management fluidics, and piezoelectric print engine.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Appendix B: Theory of Operation ISM Features Recirculation WASTE BOTTLE AT TEMPERATURE LED STATUS LED This feature can only be controlled locally at the print head as the orifice shipping cap must INK CARTRIDGE ALL CHANNEL STATUS LEDs be aligned properly and securely mounted in place.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Appendix B: Theory of Operation Ink States Normal Operation During Normal Operation, the Primary LED on top of the PM is illuminated green because there is at least 20% or more ink left in the cartridge, and the smart chip on the cartridge is being read properly. Print is always enabled in Normal Operation.
ResMark 5000 High-Resolution Appendix B: Theory of Operation Print Head Daisy Chain Print heads attach to the system (production line) in a daisy chain configuration via Ethernet or wireless. The Primary print head is the beginning of the daisy chain and has the photosensor plugged into it. All data is fed downstream from the primary print head to the daisy-chained heads.
