1. Safety

1.1. Warnings and Cautions

At appropriate points within the text of this manual, additional safety statements will be

displayed. These are designed to alert your attention to hazards and important information that

assists you in carrying out your activities on this printer safely and efficiently. Each safety

statement has a separate meaning so that you can identify the importance of the information

provided. Examples and descriptions of safety statements have been provided as follows:

WARNING: A WARNING ALERTS YOU TO HARMFUL OR

POTENTIALLY LETHAL ACTIVITIES. A DESCRIPTION OF THE

HAZARD IS GIVEN AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING

THEM. A WARNING CAN ALSO BE SHOWN AS A SPECIAL HAZARD,

FOR EXAMPLE, EYEROTECTION (SEE BELOW).

THE EYE PROTECTION WARNING ICON IS SHOWN THROUGHOUT

THE MANUAL TO INDICATE. THAT APPROVED EYE PROTECTION,

WHICH CONFORMS TO EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL SAFETY

STANDARDS, MUST BE WORN WHEN CARRYING OUT INK OR

SOLVENT RELATEDACTIVITIES.

CAUTION: A CAUTION ALERTS THE USER TO ACTIIVITIES THAT

MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR REDUCE ITS

OPERATING EFFIENCY, BUT IS NOT DIRECTLY HAZARDOUS TO

PERSONNEL.

NOTE: A Note provides important additional information but is not safety related. The hand icon

may not always be shown depending on the importance of the Note. A Note with a hand icon

indicates that you should take particular notice of the information provided.

1.2. Lethal Voltages

WARNING: LETHAL VOLTAGE. DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE

PRESENT IN THIS EQUIPMENT WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER IS

APPLIED. THERE IS A DANGER OF DEATH OR INJURY FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO ATTEMPT TO OPEN

THE SCREEN DOOR OR THE BACK ACCESS DOOR AND REMOVE

OR ADJUSTANY COMPONENTS FITTED WITHIN THE PRINTER.

ONLY FULLY TRAINED OPERATORS OR APPROVED SERVICE

User Manual The1.1 version of 2018 Guangzhou EC-PACK CO.LTD

ENGINEERS ARE QUALIFIED TO OPEN THE FRONT INK SYSTEM

DOOR WHEN ADDING INK OR SOLVENT, ONLY FULLY TRAINED

EC-JET APPROVED SERVICE ENGINEERS ARE QUALIFIED TO

OPEN THE SCREEN DOOR OR THE BACK ACCESS DOOR TO

MAINTAIN OR ADJUST THE INTERNALPARTS.

1.3. Operation

All users operating the printer must be aware of the following hazards associated with ink jet

printers. The following safety information should be made available to all personnel and is

applicable to anybody in the printer’s operating environment. Only fully trained and competent

personnel should operate or maintain EC-JET printers. If you are in any doubt as to your ability to

operate or maintain the printer, did not hesitate to consult your supervisor for guidance or contact

your local EC-JET distributor who will be happy to advise you.

1. Don’t smoke or use naked flames in the vicinity of the printer. The printer contains

flammable inks and solvents.

2. Always ensure that the printer electrical supply is isolated prior to performing cleaning or

maintenance activities. Lethal voltages are present in the printer cabinet and printhead

when mains power is applied which can cause death or serious injury if the correct

electrical procedures are not observed.

3. Only the fully trained operators or service engineers qualified to open the front ink system

door to add the ink or solvent. Only fully trained EC-JET approved service engineers

qualified to open the screen door or the back access door.

4. Always check that all covers are correctly fitted and all doors are closed before you use it.

If you are not sure, ask your supervisor for guidance. Covers act as safety barriers and also

ensure the printer retains its electromagnetic compatibility.

5. It is recommended that the printer is situated at least 600mm from floor level for your

comfort.

1.4. Inks and Solvents

Whenever inks and solvents are used, safety eyeglasses to the appropriate European and

International Directives must be worn. Solvent resistant gloves must be worn when contact with

inks or solvents is likely.

The effects of solvents and inks are potentially harmful. Prior to use, ensure the printing area is

properly ventilated and the Material Safety Data Sheets have been read and fully understood. If

you are unsure, contact your supervisor for guidance.

If the Material Safety Data Sheets have not been supplied or are not available, please contact your

local EC-JET distributor. Always refer to the Material Data Safety Sheets before working with

inks and solvents.

Store all inks and solvents in original containers, in a well-ventilated cabinet and away from heat

sources. Ensure all spilt ink or ink deposits are removed immediately using the correct solvent for

User Manual The1.1 version of 2018 Guangzhou EC-PACK CO.LTD

the ink used.

1.5. First Aid

Ensure that first aid information is readily available in the event of ingestion, inhalation, or contact

with the skin or eyes. Ideally all operators should be trained in First Aid and should be aware of

the effects of working with flammable and toxic substances. All operators should have access to

the ink and solvent Material Safety Data Sheets, which explain the hazards and medical action to

be taken if first aid is necessary.

1.5.1.Eye Contact

Flush eyes using clean running water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Obtain immediate medical

attention.

1.5.2.Skin Contact

Remove any contaminated clothing and wash the affected skin area thoroughly with proprietary

cleaner. Do NOT attempt to use solvents to remove ink from skin.

1.5.3.Inhalation

Evacuate the person into a fresh air environment. If the person experiences any difficulty in

breathing, obtain immediate medical attention.

1.5.4.Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting; obtain immediate medical attention and give the casualty half a litre of

water to drink.

1.6. In Case of Emergency

If the printer needs to be stopped quickly due to an emergency, press the red [stop] key on the

printer to stop the printing and switch the printer power switch on the rear panel of the printer to

the (off) position. Call for medical assistance as required.

1.7. Noise Emissions

The noise emission level from this printer does not exceed 70dBA. This means that there is no

hazard to hearing and, therefore, no legal requirement for ear protection to be worn when working

in the vicinity of this printer.

User Manual The1.1 version of 2018 Guangzhou EC-PACK CO.LTD

2. Introduction

A safety section has been provided at the front of this manual for your use. You are strongly

advised to read the Safety section carefully before attempting to use the EC-JET printer.

2.1. Printer System Overview

The EC-JET printers provide a means of application of printed information onto a wide range of

products. This information would typically be the date, production codes, consumer information,

product or corporate identification, product traceability, and many others. It can be widely used in

pharmaceutical, chemical, food, construction materials, tobacco, ceramics, electronics and other

industries.

The printer is normally fixed to a production line in such a way that printing takes place as the

product passes the print head. The presence of the product and printing can be synchronized using

a product detecting sensor.

The printer consists of a cabinet and a print head. The cabinet houses the electronics module, the

ink system, a power supply and a message screen display. The print head is attached to the rear of

the cabinet via a flexible conduit.

The print head is supplied with ink by the ink system which the print head forms into a continuous

stream of ink drops which recycle to ink system. When printing is required, drops of ink for

printing the message are deflected from the stream out of the print head onto the product,

providing a non-contact method of printing. The process is controlled by the electronics module

which also stores the messages to be printed. The message is programmed using the touch screen.

2.2. System Description

The EC-JET printers are designed to provide versatile, uninterrupted operation in factory

environments.
