The Print Process
Once an image has been processed and a printing bitmap created, the print cycle
begins. The printhead and drum are brought up to their operating temperatures and the
ink levels in the ink reservoirs are checked. Ink is added from the ink loader, if
necessary.
In the ready state, the print process consists of the following steps, which are
described in this section:
Drum Preparation
Printing
Ink Loader
Printhead
Drum Assembly

Purge System

Warning
Theory of Operation
Keep your fingers away from the Y-Axis drum rotation drive
system; it uses a closed-loop servo drive system and is
inherently dangerous; the motor speeds up if it senses the drive
system slowing down, and fingers caught in the belts and gears
can be severely injured.
