ResMark 5000 System Section 2: Quick Start Step 6: Powering up the Printers 5. Install the power cord into the first Printer in the system (from now on called the Primary Printer). The power supply cable or jumper cable can be plugged into either power port.
ResMark 5000 System Section 2: Quick Start Step 7: Adjust Printer to Substrate WASTE BOTTLE STATUS LED AT TEMPERATURE LED 1. Tighten bracketry to conveyor such that the Printer is perpendicular to the carton; however, INK CARTRIDGE ALL CHANNEL STATUS LEDs ensuring that the Printer is level from front to back.
ResMark 5000 System Section 2: Quick Start Step 8: Printer Level and Tilt Printer Level 1. Slightly loosen the Slide Bracketry Screws shown in the diagram in "Step 7: Adjust Printer to Substrate" on page 15. 2. When the Printer is perpendicular to the substrate, tighten the Slide Bracketry Screws.
ResMark 5000 System Section 2: Quick Start Step 9: 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 System Section 2: Quick Start Step 10: Priming the Printer and Testing Print Quality 1. Ensure all Printers are at operating temperature. SHIP CAP INSTALLED 2. Ensure that the shipping cap is installed for Recirculation, otherwise ink may overflow.
ResMark 5000 System 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 Printer should have all ports populated with a USB DEVICE OR cable.
ResMark 5000 System Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns Following are the recommended maintenance procedures to keep the Printer 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 System 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 System 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 System 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. The Printer Module can be returned to the factory and disassembled, cleaned (down to the engine level), and returned to normal service making it more economical and green for the environment.
ResMark 5000 System Section 4: Troubleshooting Section 4: Troubleshooting Print Quality This section shows examples of various print problems and actions which should be taken to improve the print. Minor Fractures in Print Possible Cause Action Step 1: Run Cleaning cycle.
Page 25
ResMark 5000 System Section 4: Troubleshooting Missing Channels Possible Cause Action Step 1: Run Prime feature for 5 seconds. Excessive debris on front Step 2: Use a foam swab to clean debris on orifice plate in a vertical downward motion while ink is flowing.

ResMark 5000 System Section 4: Troubleshooting Top-Down Dropout Possible Cause Action Step 1: Remove vent cap and install filter. Step 2: Install orifice plate ship cap and recirculate for 15 minutes. Vent Cap installed on vent Step 3: Remove ship cap, swab orifice plate, and run Prime feature for 5 seconds.

ResMark 5000 System Appendix B: Theory of Operation Appendix B: Theory of Operation Functional Description This high-resolution inkjet Printer prints text, autocodes (such as product counts or time and date stamps), barcodes, and/or graphics onto products as they travel by conveyor past stationary Printers. Print can be placed on any one of, or a combination of, the product's sides. The conveyor speed is monitored using a variable speed encoder or a built-in fixed speed encoder.
ResMark 5000 System Appendix B: Theory of Operation ISM Features Recirculation WASTE BOTTLE AT TEMPERATURE LED STATUS LED This feature can only be controlled locally at the Printer as the orifice shipping cap must be INK CARTRIDGE ALL CHANNEL STATUS LEDs aligned properly and securely mounted in place.
ResMark 5000 System Appendix B: Theory of Operation Waste Bottle Status During normal operation the waste bottle status light will be green; indicating the waste bottle is not full. When the ink waste level rises to a point where it lifts the float UP in the waste module, this LED will turn red. The waste ink will then need to be removed and emptied according to local laws and regulations.
ResMark 5000 System Appendix B: Theory of Operation Ink Waste Collector Full Upon filling the ink waste collector bottle, a float level detect raises inside the separator assembly. The feature disables pumps inside the ISM until the waste bottle is emptied. By disabling the pumps, overflow is prevented at the waste bottle.
