1.4 Alarm LEDs

There are eight red alarm LEDs on top of the print-head. Each one corresponds to an

ink bottle (See 1.2 for numbering). It starts blinking when the level of ink is too low in

the corresponding reservoir, which means that the bottle of ink is empt . Replace it b

following the steps described in 3.1.Ink bottle replacement

After a configured number of prints, if the ink level is still low in the reservoir, the

controller stops the printing (to avoid defective printings). See the controller manual for

information on configuring the number of prints after the ink-low signal.

When the ink low is detected, the print-head sends an alarm signal to the controller,

which can transfer it to an external device such as a PLC. See controller manual for

details.

2.1.1 Defining the position of the s stem

After unpacking the printer and checking that the contents correspond to our order and

to the deliver note, the first operation will be to set the position of the print-head on the

conve or. The correct print-head position can be determined using Codex and its 3D

capabilities (Fig. 8). Please refer to the Codex manual for details.

You must know that the s stem must be adjusted so that the surfaces to be printed don't

touch the print-head, and are at a maximum distance of 3mm (Fig. 9).

Evaluate, then set precisel the product distance several times before “inking up” the

printer and printing messages ! We strongl recommend fitting product guide rails.

Don't hesitate to contact our distributor in case ou have an questions regarding the

position of the printer.

2.1.2 Installing the s stem along the conve or

Due to the risk of vibration, it is not recommended to fix the printer directl onto

the conve or.

Install the controller and connect it to the print-head using the supplied IEEE1394 cables

but do not power on.

When the final position of the print-head along the conve or is determined, the next

step is to “ink up” the Coral print-head, as it is shipped dr (see next chapter).

2.1.3 Photocell installation

Install the supplied photocell close to, but before the print-head. This will detect the

product just before it passes the print-head nozzles (Fig. 11)
