Using The Printer Alarm Output; Filling With Ink And Solvent - EC-PACK EC-JET 1000Pro Manual

possible that the line speed is too high. This can easily be checked:
a) From the SETUP menu, set Shaft Encoder to Off. Note down the original Print Width setting, then
set Print Width to 0.
b) Note the original Print Delay setting. Multiply this by the original Print Width setting. Enter the new
value.
c) Run the line at the same speed and take print samples.
The printer will now be generating rasters at its maximum rate.
(i) If the printed length of the message is still too long, then the line speed is too high for the print
head/raster being used. No adjustment of the encoder, gearing, or Print Width will influence this.
(ii) If the printed length of the message is now shorter than required, the original print width was
wrong. It may need to be increased or decreased. Only going through the calculations will give
the correct value to enter. Remember to check the maximum encoder speed.
Remember to enable the shaft encoder using the SETUP menu and adjust the Print Delay.
2. If the message length measured on the original samples (i.e. with the shaft encoder enabled and the
original Print Width setting) was shorter than that required, then the print width must be increased. The
calculations will give the correct setting; if guessed at the results could still be unpredictable.

1.8 Using the Printer Alarm Output

When there is a print warning or failure, the printer activates a 24 volt external alarm, where fitted.
The Alarm Beacon available from EC-JET is as follows:
Alarm Beacon Single Stage 24V.
The pin connections are as follows:
Alarm out A
Alarm –Out_0 (24V signal)
Pin 9
Pin 5 GND
Alarm out B (Reserve)
Alarm –Out_0 (24V signal)
Pin 1
Pin 6 GND
Alarm out C (Reserve)
Alarm –Out_0 (24V signal)
Pin 4
Pin 8 GND

1.9 Filling with Ink and Solvent

Switch the printer on and check if the ink or solvent level warning messages are displayed. Fill the
system with ink and solvent as necessary (see "Routine Maintenance").
