Installation Requirements

The Kodak 1200i wide-format printing system requires approximately 15’ x 20’ (4 x 6

meters) square space available for the printer un-boxing and setup. Additionally, vice

grips/pliers may be needed to aid in support bracket removal. Four (4) people will need

to be available to assist in the setup.

Operational Space Requirements

Printer footprint dimensions are illustrated below:

Technical Training Guide 3

Power Requirements

Either 115 or 230 volt, 50/60Hz source power is required for the printer. All major power

cord standards are supplied with each printer. The voltage selector switch is positioned

to the 230 volt position during shipping; ensure selector switch is set to either 115 or 230

for the appropriate region. The printer typically uses 1100 watts of power during normal

operation (when dryer is engaged) –a dedicated 20 amp circuit is ideal.

NOTE: The printer must be properly grounded in accordance with regional and general

equipment/electrical grounding guidelines or improper print operation may result and

personnel hazards may result if inadequate grounding is provided. Verify a ground line

(G) is present at power receptacle or power strip prior to installing the printer, refer to

receptacle examples below.

Connectivity Requirements

The printer can be connected directly to a computer via an Ethernet crossover cable or

via a regular Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connected to a 100BaseT HUB/Switch/Router

placed on the network. For DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) networks a static IP

address (dedicated address for printer) must be made available; consult a network

administrator to verify system setup.

1. Intelligent Mask Technology (IMT)

- A simple screen that is applied to image

files by the printer to determine which dots

are printed during each swath (or print pass)

in a particular print mode selection. A

different print mask is applied for each color

plane.

- Two thermal-based ink types are available with the Kodak 1200i Wide-Format Printing

system: Quantum-Dye (Qi-Dye) and Qi-Pigment (Qi-Pig). The typical color range of the

Qi-Dye ink is approximately

17,500 and offers outstanding

color pop and with the majority of

inkjet-coated media types in the

industry. This ink is particularly

strong in the backlit applications

market. Qi-Pigment ink color is

near the16,500 range and offers

exceptionally brilliant color for a

thermal-based ink, particularly

on the Rapid Dry and

indoor/outdoor media sets.

2. Rapid Dryer Technology

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

Technical Training Guide 5

The advanced dual-component drying system

uses the principle of conducted heat to dry

printed images with much greater efficiency

than can be achieved with hot air dryers. The

media web is fed over a heated aluminum

nose that is curved to maintain intimate

contact with the back of the web for effective

heat transfer. The nose is an isolated

extrusion that incorporates three longitudinal

fins with an electrical heating strip mounted to

each fin inside the curve (each of the three

electrical heating strips provide up to 323 watts of power). This design evens out heat

flow to minimize cold spots under high density printed areas across the web without

the long warm-up time of a much thicker section. Ambient air flow is used to pull away

moisture and improve drying efficiency by another 30% over that achieved with the

heated nose alone. The application of ambient air flow also allows the system to apply

more drying power at a lower peak temperature for reduced risk of media damage.

Overall the drying system uses approximately 25% less energy over other drying

systems.

An ambient fan driven air plenum is used

to distribute air flow evenly across the

print width. Air flow is downward, carrying

heat away from the print zone to improve

nozzle reliability and to reduce the risk of

edge curl. An intelligent control system

regulates electrical power to achieve and

maintain temperature set points between

35 and 55 degrees C.

The air plenum may be lowered by

removing two locking pins to perform

printer maintenance.

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

Technical Training Guide 6

c. Intermediate Reservoir:

- Intermediate reservoir located below ink bottle

- Provides consistent ink supply pressure (50 ml capacity)

- Replace ink on-the-fly (30 seconds); prevents job interruptions

- Optical sensor monitors reservoir ink levels [ink level LOW

warning sensor (<30ml; ~10-30 minutes) and ink level OUT stop

(<20ml), protects cartridge]

d. Ink Supply Dampers and Septum

Valve System:

- Ink flows through damper into a septum

assembly (spring actuated ball valve to

shutoff ink when cartridges are removed)

Note: ink is filtered at the cartridge only.

e. Carriage Assembly:

- Robust carriage bushing design; thick bushings with 2 shims for better

dimensional stability. Bushings are secured by bushing retainers.

- Bushings are grooved to minimize the effect of dirt and debris.

- Cartridge doors secure and bias print heads into proper position.

- One-step cartridge installation process; remove tape and install.

f. Cartridge / Printhead:

- Increased productivity with 640 nozzle

printheads

- Clean hands shipping and installation.

- Foam filled, eliminate tubing and needles

- Ink filter.

- 700 ml warranty/2800 ml shutoff.

- 1400 ml to 2100 ml average print head life.

Technical Training Guide 7

g. Service Station:

- Clean hands cartridge maintenance through service station

(Cartridge cleaning or Vacuum prime feature).

- Ink is deposited into a waste disposal bottle.

h. Auto Clean Unit:

- Door Magnet

- Suction pump/motor (used for priming ink lines)

- Bottle full sensor (IR)

- Ink waste bottle

- Bottle present/empty sensor

4. Media Handling System

- Four media supply modes are available: Sheet, Roll, Roll 2 and

TakeUp

- Media rolls can be easily exchanged with the removable media

spindles

- The Autoload paper sensor has a 6 second delay when media

is manually loaded at rear of printer

- The Roll 2 mode allows for a second roll of media to be loaded

onto the lower roller (no takeup mode available)

- The lower roller, new heavy duty stepper motor,

and new pinch roller design help better control

feed, paper travel and line length accuracy.

Printer Installation

(Quick Steps)

Step 1: Shipping Brackets Removal

- Rotate printer head box 90 degrees onto one side and remove

printer from large shipping box by pulling out and away from box.

- Before removing the shipping support brackets ensure the printer

is properly placed and balanced

on two or three strips of packing

foam provided.

- Remove the two (2) bolts

securing the metal crossbeam

between the support brackets.

- Remove upper and lower

shipping support brackets (four

bolts total) and install

appropriate stand leg to balance

the printer. Remove wing nut,

retaining bolt, and 4 screws.

Step 2: Media System Installation (1 electrical connection)

- When installing the right stand leg attach electrical plug connection to printer base;

ensure the plug is aligned straight and square onto the connector to prevent damage to

the electrical pins. CAUTION: plug pins

are extremely fragile; ensure restraining

clips are secure.

- ‘Loosely’ attach the eight (8) stand leg

screws to the printer base; this will allow

for proper installation of the stand’s

crossbar.

CAUTION:

Avoid pushing

plug into the

platen assembly.

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

Technical Training Guide 10

NOTE: It is suggested to assemble the right stand leg first, then attach the assembly to

the printer. Repeat with left stand leg assembly. Do not ‘completely’ tighten the screws

between stand legs and platen – only perform after the crossbar has been installed.

Step 3: Crossbar Installation

- Install crossbar between stand legs and

tighten four (4) securing screws.

- Tighten the eight (8) stand leg screws

after the crossbar has been properly

installed.

Step 4: Auto Clean Unit System (2 electrical connections/1 tubing connection)

- To attach the auto clean unit first connect the ink tube line to the pump nipple. Attach

both electrical plug connections to respective jacks. Angle the assembly at a 45 degree

angle to connect over the 4 securing screws. Tighten four (4) securing screws.

- Verify the disposal bottle is installed and tubing

connections to bottle are intact.
