HEALTH AND SAFETY
INTRODUCTION
Domino supplies Safety Data Sheets (SDS) giving specific safety information
with each of its ink, make-up and wash fluids. There are also warnings on
each container. The following notes are for general guidance only.
Basic Requirements
When used correctly, printing inks do not cause problems. However,
everybody using them should be familiar with the appropriate safety standards
and be aware of the precautions that should be taken. The following are basic
requirements:
Proper standards of industrial practice relating to cleanliness and tidiness
must be maintained.
Inks and their containers must be stored and handled with care.
Do not smoke or allow naked flames (or other sources of ignition) in the
vicinity of any inks or solvents as this is highly dangerous.
All who come into contact with inks must be properly instructed in their
use.
Directions for safe working practices vary according to the environment. The
following are broad principles so that necessary precautions may be taken:
Contact with the mouth must be avoided. Therefore eating, drinking or
smoking, or any personal habits or actions which may transfer ink to the
mouth, must be avoided.
Contact with the eyes must be avoided. Suitable eye protection must
always be worn whenever there is any risk of splashing or misting. If ink
does get into the eyes, first aid treatment is to flood the affected eye for
15 minutes with saline solution, (or clean water if saline solution is not
available), taking care not to allow the water to run into an unaffected
eye. Medical aid must be obtained immediately.
Most inks contain solvents which may injure the skin. Good working
practice must always be employed and risk assessments carried out. Safety
Data Sheets are available that give advice on personal protective
equipment. Most gloves only offer limited and short term exposure
protection and must be changed after any splashing and on a frequent
basis.
Many inks contain materials which vaporise easily and can be inhaled.
Good ventilation and extraction is necessary.
Any used cleaning materials, e.g. rags, paper wipes, are a potential fire
hazard. They must be collected for safe disposal after use.
After exposure to ink, all possible traces must be washed off as soon as
possible at the nearest washing facility.
1-3
HEALTH AND SAFETY
It is possible to control the printer remotely. If operated in this manner it

is vital that the remote UI is disconnected before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance on the printer.
Certain inks are allowed for use where they can be in indirect contact with
food. In these cases, the following precautions must be observed in addition
to those appropriate to hygiene:
The inks must only be used in printers supplied from new for use with
these inks. Any repairs and replacements must use genuine, new and
unused spare parts.
The inks must not be used in printers which have previously been used,
at any time, for any other purpose.
Storage
Printing inks must be stored in well-ventilated buildings, in areas set aside for
the purpose, chosen for safety in case of fire. Materials based on volatile,
flammable solvents must be stored in accordance with local regulations.
Fire Risk
For an electrical fire, do not use water. If water must be used, such as in the
case of a Nitro-cellulose ink fire (see below) the power MUST BE
REMOVED first.
Many inks contain Nitro-cellulose as the binder and remain highly flammable
when dry. Observe all warnings given on the machine and the following
safety instructions:
If there has been an accumulation of dried ink, do not use metal scrapers
to remove it, as they can produce sparks.
If dry Nitro-cellulose based ink ignites, it will generate its own oxygen
and can only be extinguished by lowering the temperature with water.
If a Nitro-cellulose fire occurs, ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRICAL
POWER IS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE PRINTER
BEFORE water is used to extinguish the fire.
Fire risk is a most important consideration where printing inks are stored and
used. The degree of fire hazard will vary considerably from one type of ink or
wash to another.
Water-based inks will not burn, although inks based on water-alcohol
mixtures may burn if there is sufficient alcohol present. Prolonged exposure
of water-based systems to high temperatures may evaporate the water to give a
flammable residue.
Solvent-based inks offer a greater degree of hazard depending on the
particular solvent or solvent combination. When there is a particular hazard
the appropriate information is given on the SDS.
1-4
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The printers place small electrostatic charges on the ink drops used for
printing. In most circumstances, such as when they arrive at the print surface,
these electrostatic charges are either conducted away or cannot accumulate.
However, during maintenance, print drops may be collected in a container,
such as a beaker. It is essential that this container is made of conducting
material and is securely connected to ground/earth. The electrostatic charges
will then be safely conducted to ground/earth.
If there is a fire, there is a likelihood that dangerous fumes will arise from
printing inks. For this reason ink must be stored where it can be reached
quickly by the fire fighting service, and where it will not spread beyond the
store.
Spillages and Disposal

WARNING:
Some dried inks are highly flammable. Clean

up all ink spillages immediately. Do not allow
the ink to dry or allow any build-up of dried
ink spills.
Spillages must be cleaned up as soon as possible with the appropriate solvent

materials and with regard to the safety of personnel. Care must be taken to
prevent spillages or residue from cleaning up entering drains or sewage
systems.
Inks and associated fluids are materials which conduct electricity. Therefore,
power to the printer must be switched off while spillages inside the printer
cabinet are being cleaned up.
Printing inks and associated fluids must not be treated as ordinary waste.
They must be disposed of using approved methods according to local
regulations.

AM_0008.tif
Each printed character consists of a dot matrix

made up of lines, or strokes, of ink drops. The ink
drops in each stroke are spaced apart by electronic
deflection and the strokes are spaced apart by the
movement of the print surface under the head.
Inside the print head, ink is supplied under

pressure to the drop generator, and emerges
through a small nozzle as a very fine jet. The drop
generator contains a drive rod which creates
ultrasonic pressure waves in the ink, making the jet
break up into a stream of separate drops shortly
Drop

Electrode
Deflector
Plates

The break-up is adjusted to occur within the

charge electrode, where each ink drop is given an
electrostatic charge by putting a voltage onto the
charge electrode as the drop breaks off. The size
of the charge on the ink drop depends upon the
voltage on the charge electrode.
The ink drops then pass through the electrostatic
field set up between two high voltage deflector
plates. The direction of flight of each charged ink
drop is deflected by an amount dependent upon
the size of the charge.
Ink drops not required for printing are not given
electrostatic charges and are collected in the gutter.
AM_0009.tif
The print head components are mounted on a rigid chassis, with a fully
enclosed wire box containing the connections between the print head and
conduit wiring.
The print head slides into a protective holster and is locked into place by two
holster retaining clips. The holster is mounted in the printing position and
contains precision guide rails to ensure that the print head always returns to
exactly the same position when removed and replaced.

DESCRIPTION
CABINET
The cabinet structure is made substantially of moulded glass filled nylon with
doors to two separate compartments.
The front facing door gives access to the ink system. The door opens
downwards and has retainers to allow the door to open fully and be
unsupported. Operations such as replacing cartridges and the Qube are
carried out in this area.
At the rear of the printer is a stainless steel door which gives access to the
electrical components of the printer. These include the power supply, ink
interface PCB, SBC, PEC and the pump and cooling fan. The door opens via
side mounted hinges and is secured by a screw catch.
The top of the cabinet is angled and contains the printer control panel.
For maximum stability the cabinet should be mounted on a a stand. Domino
can provide a choice of two dedicated models - a standard stand and one with
cabinet storage (see PART 8 : Options and Accessories).
The conduit serving the print head is located at the base at the back of the
cabinet and all external connections are located on the rear door.
The cabinet is fan cooled by filtered air drawn into the electronics
compartment through a vent in the left hand (when viewed from the front)
handling recess. This air is then circulated to the ink compartment and exits
through a vent situated in the right hand handling recess. It is important that
these areas are not obstructed.

DESCRIPTION
i-Tech INK SYSTEM

General
CAUTION:
Do not switch off the printer before the flush cycle is

complete.
The printer contains a reservoir of printing ink located in the Qube. As ink is
used for printing, it is replaced by fresh ink from a disposable cartridge.
The ink has a solvent base which (like all solvents) is subject to evaporation,
and this, in turn, affects ink viscosity. The electronic system, therefore, checks
the viscosity regularly and keeps it within carefully controlled limits by adding
make-up, supplied from a reservoir, which is also supplied by a disposable
cartridge.
The ink and make-up levels are monitored by level sensors. If the ink
cartridge is not replaced and the ink falls below a defined level, the printer
switches off. However, if the make-up reservoir is empty the machine can still
be used, but the start-stop performance will be impaired. If make-up is not
replaced it will cause the ink viscosity to increase, and print quality to
deteriorate.
The printer also indicates when the ink or make-up levels are too high.
When the ink jet is switched off the printer automatically flushes make-up
through the print head to prevent the print head becoming dirty with ink
residue.
CAUTION:
Do not block or obstruct the vent.
Intelligent Ink Life

The number of hours the ink jet can run before the Qube requires
replacement is dependent on the rate of print usage, and can change as the ink
usage changes. The i-Tech ink system uses the jet-on hours to calculate the
expected Qube life, and display the calculated replacement date. Prior to
Qube replacement the levels of ink in the Qube will be deliberately run down
to minimise ink wastage.
Ink and Make-Up Filters

The Domino i-Tech ink system incorporates the main ink and gutter filters
within the body of the Qube. These filters are therefore automatically
replaced during routine Qube replacement. In addition, Qube replacement
simply involves unplugging the old Qube and plugging in the new one with
minimal down time.
2-15
DESCRIPTION
Venting
The ink reservoir in the Qube and make-up reservoir are connected to a vent
which allows for variations in the ink level and for air drawn in by the ink and
make-up cartridges. It also allows air drawn in through the gutter to be
released. These air movements can result in the emission of solvent fumes and
an evaporation loss. To reduce the evaporation loss a peltier is fitted to cool
and condense any escaping vapour. The resulting liquid is passed back into the
make-up reservoir.
Wake-up Mode
Note:
The Wake-up Mode is a selectable option and is available only with a

Service key.
When the jet is switched off, the software controls the printer in a wake-up
mode. This operates the printer (pump) for approximately 2-3 minutes after a
selected interval (between 10 and 720 minutes), to stir the pigment in the ink
and to maintain the correct viscosity.

DESCRIPTION
Connectivity
Connectivity allows remote browsing of the printer and can be used to assist
engineers in diagnosing any issue with the printer, using a direct cable
connection or LAN connection to a web browser.
The Ethernet settings in the printer need to be set (normally this will involve
the local network administrator). In the Machine Set-up menu, navigate to
the Ethernet screen: Configuration > Comms > Ethernet to display the
following screens:
Set the Ethernet port to Enable. Then set the configuration to either DHCP
or Static (depending on your network configuration).
If set to Static, enter the details on the second screen as required (obtain these
from your local network administrator).
Note:
If using DHCP in order to operate correctly, BOOTP messages must be

,
able to reach the network's DHCP server and the DHCP server must be
set to update DNS.
The printer must be restarted in order for these settings to take effect.
To view the printer details using a connected PC, the Web Server must be
enabled on the printer. Within the Machine Set-up menu, select the
following: Configuration > Comms > Web Server. Set the Web Server to be
Enabled.
Once the printer has been configured, it can be viewed via a PC running
Microsoft Internet Explorer (minimum Version 6.0), connected either
directly or on the same network (see examples of connecting on following
pages).
In the address bar, enter the IP address (or host name (only with DNS)) of the
printer, e.g. http://192.0.201.204 or Domino and the home screen (as shown
below) should display.

QUICKSTEP INTERFACE - MENU

STRUCTURE
Two interfaces are currently available for the SVGA:
(1) QuickStep interface described here and,
(2) The Standard Interface described on page 3-11.
Note:
To switch between the Standard UI and the QuickStep UI press the

button located on the Standard UI drop down menu and
QuickStep interface.
Introduction
For customers looking for increased productivity from their industrial coders
and printers, Domino has developed QuickStep - the most intuitive user
interface on the market. With QuickStep, training, set up times and coding
errors are all reduced.
Customer Benefits
Less operator training and supervision. All buttons in QuickStep are
clearly labelled, eliminating doubt when operating and helping to
eliminate errors.
Increased performance. QuickStep is simple and intuitive to use and is
structured so all main functions can be accessed with just 2 button
presses.
QuickStep will limit functionality depending on the level of the user.
Operator Level
QuickStep has a dedicated Operator Level that streamlines the functions
available and eliminates opportunities for human error
At Operator Level, QuickStep will allow:
The viewing of messages and their transfer to the printer
The entering of variable data into the messages (if authorised)
The viewing and acknowledging of alerts
The viewing of printer and job data
Changing consumables.
In addition the "Breadcrumb" trail allows easy navigation and the ability to
backtrack through the software options.

SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS
The following descriptions are shown using the standard screen, however the
layout and functions are the same unless otherwise stated.
As shown on the menu maps on the previous pages, settings in the Message
Editor and Print Parameters (unless otherwise stated) are saved with the
individual messages. To alter the (default) settings for the printer, use the
Print Setup menu. The Print Setup menu affects all messages.
HOME SCREEN
At Start-up or when the Home button is
pressed, the printer will display the home
screen. The home screen is configurable as
described in the Machine Setup area of the
printer (refer to page 3-53).
The Home screen may display two icons in
the lower left part of the screen.
Time to next inspection. This feature can be configured as part of the
Alerts configuration as described page 3-68.
Estimated remaining Qube life. This icon only appears after the printer
has been running for 30 days. After this period the i-Tech ink system has
collected sufficient data to extrapolate a Qube replacement date. This
date can change depending on further print usage rates.
The Home screen also displays the print status, which by displaying the
message name that is to be printed or other indications of status, such as:
"Waiting to print: Message from Editor" because a message has been put
online from within the Message Editor
"Waiting to print: Message from Ext Source" when a message has been
sent from an external source
"<User Port Control>" when the messages are being sent via the user
port.
When the printer receives a print signal, and the message monitor is enabled,
an example of the message will display rather than just the message name.
With this screen displayed the "Send to Print" button acts to disable and enable
the printing.
3-17
Screen Descriptions
MESSAGE EDITOR
Note:This area is configurable, therefore some
buttons may not appear. These are set in the
Machine Setup area, see page 3-68.
Access to Message Editor can be controlled
by password (see page 3-58).
The Message Editor is used to build or
modify the message content, all settings are
saved with the message.
Enter text using the keyboard. Beneath the text is a graphic showing the type
of information highlighted (in this instance it is a text field that is
highlighted). Alongside these graphics are representations of the message
format type (in this instance 7 drop mixed, twin line, high quality 75 micron)
and the direction and orientation of the text (left to right in this example).
If an entry, such as a serial number, is highlighted, it is possible to press the
select
button to display the properties that can be edited for that
selection.
In QVGA screens, if a long message is entered into the message editor, it is
possible to jump to the end of the message by using the green alternative
+
character button and the left scroll button combination (
), or jump
+
back to the beginning by using the left arrow instead of the right(
).
It is also possible to jump a screen at a time using the shift and the left or right
scroll button.
Other entries, such as dates (see page 3-21), logos (see page 3-34), etc. can be
included in the message.
If the message has been saved, the saved name will appear above the message.
The zoom ratio is also displayed (2:1 in this example). Refer to page 3-68 to
set this zoom ratio. This will zoom in or out of the message when viewed in
the message editor screen.
Font Options
It is possible to format the message. This
menu allows access to: Font Height, Bold,
Inter Character Gap and Message Format
Set.
Select the option required from the softkeys
on the left of the screen.
Note:These will affect subsequent entries into the
message editor and not any previous entries.
3-18
Screen Descriptions
Font Height
The print (font) height (number of drops
high) can be changed. This is dependant on
which rasters (message formats) are available
on the printer. Use either the
buttons to change, or press the
button
to show the list of options available, use the
buttons to move to the required
setting, then press select again. Press OK to
accept changes and return to the message editor where the cursor will now be
the required height, or Cancel to return to the previous screen without
accepting changes.
To move the cursor between lines, use the
buttons. Note that the
text anchors from the top line, therefore the cursor must be on the top line to
move from a smaller font to a larger font within the message.
Bold
The message can be printed in bold.
Bold Width (Strokes): The number of extra
strokes can be set. This means that instead of
1 line of (vertical) drops, the printer will
print the extra selected number. Use the
cursor buttons
to select the
number of extra strokes in the range 0 (no
extra strokes) to 3 (3 extra strokes).
A suggested amount would be 1.
To remove the bold option set the Bold Width (Strokes) to zero.
Press OK to accept the changes.

format, the details of this format can be
viewed by selecting the Show Details button.
To change the current message format,
either use the
buttons to change, or press the
select button to
show the list of options available, then use the
buttons to move to

If the make-up cartridge is not replaced, the make-up reservoir will empty
and the ink viscosity will eventually go outside its operating limits. Also, head
flushing will not be carried out when the printer is shut down and ink may be
deposited on the print head components. Thus, although the printer can still
be used, head faults may occur.

OPERATION
Qube Replacement
The main ink and gutter filters are situated in the Qube and are an integral
part of Dominos i-Tech ink system. Replacement of these filters therefore
occurs automatically during scheduled Qube replacement.
Entering the Quality Code

The messages Qube change needed in less than 24 hours and, later, Qube change
needed in less than 2 hours will appear near the end of the Qube life. Printing
will not continue beyond the expiry of the Qube life.
The i-Tech ink system will automatically run down the level of ink to a
minimum level, so it is usual to replace these cartridges at the same time.
It is necessary to enter the Qube quality code of the new Qube and reset the
Qube replacement alarms, using the following procedure:

Message
To print the message in a different orientation and/or repeat print the
message, select the required option within the Print Parameters menu.
Repeat Printing
The current message can be repeated for either a specified number of extra
prints or can continuously repeat for one product detect signal.
Select Repeat Printing, then select the required mode (either Counted or
Continuous)
Repeat Counted will print the current message for this specified amount.
Set the Repeat Pitch - this is the distance from the start of one message to the
start of the next (measured in strokes). It is also possible to update any clock
and serial number information contained in the message with each print, or
choose to keep the same information but update with each product detect
signal by setting the Update Each Print? to the required value.
Note:
The number of counted repeats is extra to the initial print, i.e. 6 will print
6 extra prints (7 in total).
If the Use print go to end? is set to No then the repeat print will continue to the
end of the specified amount, if set to Yes, then the repeat printing will stop if
the product detect signal becomes inactive.
Repeat Continuous will repeat the same message continuously while the
product detect signal is active. As with the Repeat Counted, both the Repeat
Pitch and Update Each Print can be set.
Reverse and/or Invert

The message can be printed in reverse and/or inverted. The setting for both
these functions are the same.
Reverse
Or
Invert
There are four possible options for these settings: Printer Setting, Flip, Counted
or Continuous. Printer Setting is effectively Off as it does not apply any
reverse/invert settings over and above the printer settings. Flip is effectively
On as it will set the reverse/invert settings to the opposite of the printer
settings.
Continuous, with the Count set to the required number (e.g. 2), the
message will print in the orientation specified in initial state (either printer
setting or flip) for the next 2 product detects, then print inverted (or reversed)
for the next 2 product detects, etc.

When more serial numbers are saved, these will be displayed in a list and
can also be entered into the message by highlighting the required serial
number and pressing Select within the Insert Serial Number screen. These
serial numbers can also be edited by highlighting the serial number to
be edited and pressing the Edit button.
(8) The serial number can be controlled by a user port (if fitted). To allow
the printer to pass to external control, set the Internal Updates on Counter
1 and/or Counter 2 to Disabled.
See also page 3-27 for serial number details, page 3-29 for details of counter
control and page 3-52 for User Port Set-up.
User Port
Note:
This requires the optional User Port Option Kit (includes RS232)
EAS002846SP to be fitted. Refer to page 8-8.
It is possible to allow peripheral equipment to control several functions

(message select, invert or reverse, serial number control and custom shift
register reset) within the printer. This is performed using a user port.
External Message Select

Note:
Ensure the messages required for external selection are created and saved
within the printer.
The printer will allocate slot numbers to each message, slot 1 being the first.
Therefore, the first message created and saved will be saved to slot 1, the
second will be in slot 2, etc. The user port will select from these slot numbers
to select the messages via SK2. SK2 is a 37-way connector. Message select
can use 8 of these pins to allow between 1 and 255 messages (relating to slots
1 to 255) to be selected.
Note:
Because other functions, such as external message invert/reverse can also

use SK2, this will reduce the number of pins available and hence the
number of messages that can be selected.
With the required messages created and saved in the correct slot numbers (see
below to change a slots number), it is then necessary to put the messages
"online".
User
Port
To select all messages to be online, meaning that they are all ready to print and
therefore available for external selection, enter the Message Store, then select
Message Store Manager>User Port>Put Messages Online. When viewed in the
message store, notice that all messages will now have a tick next to them.
The peripheral device can now be used to select the message, using SK2 pins
1 to 8 as a binary reference, connecting to Pin 13 (GND) to select slots 1 to
255.
4-20
OPERATION
Change Slot Numbers

To change the slot number allocated to a message, enter the Message Store,
then select Message Store Manager > User Port >Change Slot.
External Message Invert/Reverse

Both message Invert and Reverse (and the Custom Shift Register (CSR) data)
can also be controlled externally and use any of pins 1 to 8 of SK2.
Within the User Port setup screen (see page 3-52), select the Input as
Reverse, Invert or CSR Data. Next, select the pin (on SK2) that the signal
will be received on (pins 1 to 8), then select the Active State (in the example
below it is disabled, meaning that Reverse is not set for external control).
Notes: (1) If using external invert, reverse and/or CSR data in conjunction with
external message select, this will reduce the number of messages that can be
selected, as it will reduce the number of pins available. Select the range of
pins for external message select accordingly, for example use pin 8 for
external invert and select pins 1-7 for message select.
(2) External Reverse/Invert works in conjunction with the internal Reverse/
Invert.

BACK-UP PRINTER
There are 4 types of file information that can be saved to a USB device, these
are: Full, Messages, Service and Production. These will save different
information to a USB memory device: a Full back-up will copy the entire
printer configuration; a Message back-up will copy all the messages in the
current message store. Both the Full and Message back-ups can also be
copied (restored) to other printers or retained to restore the original printer
settings.
The Service and Production files can be copied from the printers software
files, and this provides information for a service engineer, such as log files, jet
characterisation information and email information. These file types cannot
be copied back to the printer as they are for information only.
To Create a Back-up
(1) Insert the USB memory stick into the USB slot inside the ink
compartment (refer to the diagram on the inside of the ink
compartment door for the USB port location).
(2) In the Machine Set-up menu, select Back-up then Back-up to USB.

5-2
INTRODUCTION
Red Alerts
Red alerts are shown by a flashing red LED indicator on the alert switch and a
corresponding message displaying in the status/alert bar. They show the
presence of faults and stop the printer printing or prevent an unsafe condition
occurring. There are two types:
Non-recoverable
The jet will shut off (without following the normal sequencing). If the fault
condition is still present when acknowledged, the red LED will remain on and
the alert bar message will continue to show. If the fault condition has cleared
when acknowledged, the red LED will extinguish and the message will be
removed.
Recoverable
The printer attempts to recover - the red LED and the green LED on Start/
Stop button will flash. If the printer does manage to recover, the amber LED
will illuminate to inform the user of the status and the printer will be ready to
print. If the recovery was unsuccessful, the printer will switch to jet on only
with the red alert still raised. The red LED will only extinguish when the
alert is cleared.
Amber Alerts
Amber alerts are used to inform the operator that the printer is in need of
attention or that there are message handling errors.
If the fault condition is still present when acknowledged, the amber LED will
remain on and the alert bar message will show. If the fault condition has
cleared, the amber LED will extinguish and the alert bar message will be
removed.
Configurable Alerts
Some amber alerts can have their severity changed, or be switched off. To
configure alerts, please contact Domino Service.
Fault Acknowledgement
Depending on the alert, some messages are automatically cleared when the
condition is cleared although they will remain in the fault log list until the
user has acknowledged them (if the alert does not disappear from the list
when acknowledged, it means the problem still exists). If two or more alerts
exist simultaneously, the highest priority alert is displayed.
All reports are recorded in the error log, together with times of
acknowledgement and repair.
5-3
ALERT / STATUS BAR MESSAGES
Alert/Status Bar
PRINTER STATES
Shown below are some of the more common printer states, these will be

Status: Standby
The printer is in a standby state - the ink system is inactive but the user
interface can still be used to enter information.
Status: Getting ready to print
The printer is getting ready to print. Once this process has complete, the
printer should be in the Ready to Print status.
Status: Ready to Print
The printer is ready to print - as long as a message is on-line, the message will
print on receiving a product detect signal.
Status: Not Ready to Print
The printer is going from the Ready to Print status to either Jet on only or
Standby status.
Status: Heating
The printer is heating the print head to the optimum temperature for the ink
Status: Ink System Standby
The ink system is pressurised and active, but the jet is off.

WARNINGS:
(1)
When working on or near the printer,

protective clothing (especially safety glasses)
must be worn.
(2)
If the printer is ever operated in a way that

allows it to print into a beaker, the beaker must
be made of conducting material and be
securely connected to earth (ground), as the
electrostatic charges on the ink drops used for
printing could cause a fire hazard.
(3)
Do not smoke or allow naked flames (or other

The i-Tech ink system is located in the main body of the printer and is
accessed by a door at the front of the cabinet. The door is released by rotating
the catch anti-clockwise. The door then folds downwards. A restraining
mechanism allows the door to be unsupported during maintenance
procedures.

REPAIR
Ink Compartment Cover Removal

Most ink system repairs require the prior removal of the ink compartment
cover. To do this proceed as follows:
(1) Remove any fitted cartridges by rotating the ink cartridge anticlockwise and the make-up cartridge clockwise to free it and lifting it
away.
(2) Remove the Qube by gently pulling the two retaining clips outwards
and pulling the Qube backwards, withdrawing the connecting manifold
pipes from the ink block.
(3) Remove the make-up reservoir by unscrewing the thumb wheel that
attaches it to the ink block and gently pulling the reservoir pipes out of
the ink block. To remove the pipe from the Peltier, compress the John
Guest pipe fitting and withdraw the pipe.
Note:

make up-reservoir during this process. Observe good cleanliness procedures
at all times.
(4) Starting in a corner, gently ease the cover out from the cabinet and
continue around the edge of the cover until it is free from the ink
compartment.
(5) Replacement of the cover is the reverse of the above.
(6) Re-fit the ink and make-up cartridges by pushing them onto the Qube
and make-up reservoir (ensure the labels are facing forwards).

SHAFT ENCODER / PRODUCT

DETECTORS
Shaft Encoder
The shaft encoder is fitted to the production line and its rotation follows the
line movement. Exact details of both the shaft encoder and its installation
depend upon the line.
Connection into the printer is via either of the Shaft Encoder/Product
Detector connectors situated on the rear electronics compartment door. The
connector pin assignments are shown below.
the side of the cabinet. The connector pin assignments are shown below.

Description
24V Supply
GND
Product Detect (+)
Product Detect (-)
Encoder Channel A (+)
Encoder Channel A (-)
Encoder Channel B (+)
Encoder Channel B (-)
The printer provides a 24V DC supply for use by the shaft encoder and a
selectable 24V NPN (Default) or PNP input for signals from the encoder.
The NPN or PNP can be selected by moving jumper positions on the
Standard Interface PCB Assembly, see diagram. The printer also has an
internal digital gearbox which may be used to multiply or divide the encoder
output.
The selectable shaft encoder is a suitable installation. The quadrature encoder
allows the direction of the rotation to be detected, as well as the actual
rotation. This type of encoder is useful in ensuring that printing stops as soon
as the production line stops moving forward and is resumed when the
production line returns to its previous position. The quadrature encoder may
help eliminate false encoder pulses being generated and maintain good print
quality in high vibration environments.
To enable this feature, the quadrature encoder must be fitted and both
encoder signals need to be correctly wired to the printer. The software must
8-13
be enabled for the feature to function. In the software, navigate to Ext. I/F:
Shaft Encoder. Set Backlash to ON and Direction to FORWARD, see page 3-63.
Note:
The direction will depend upon the mounting of the encoder and the
wiring to the printer.
When the production line is travelling backwards in the Backlash mode, a

count is maintained and can be viewed and reset on the printer (or via the
User Port if fitted).
The encoder (L014933) has a shaft diameter of 10mm and the Pulses Per
Revolution (PPR) are selectable:
2500PPR
5000PPR
12500PPR
25000PPR.
To select the required PPR, remove the blanking plug on the rear of the
encoder and turn the rotary switch to the required position. Further details
are included with the encoder.
How to Specify PPRs

To calculate the PPR, three pieces of information are required:
The number of strokes per character including spaces between characters
(N). A 7x5 character is 6 strokes wide. Refer to following table.
The character pitch (P). This is the distance from the start of one
character to the start of the next.
The distance moved by the product in one rotation of the encoder (D).
PPR = D x N
P
This calculation is true in all cases. N and P are determined by the
requirements of the individual production line, i.e. large characters, nozzle
size etc. The calculation for D will vary depending on the application.

Sensor and Reflector Assembly

This detection method consists of a sensor and a reflector, which must be
fitted on opposite sides of the product line. The reflector is adjusted so that a
light beam from the sensor, directed across the line, is reflected back into a
receiver in the sensor. Products moving in between the sensor and reflector
break the light beam and this is used to start the printing, either as the beam is
broken or as it is restored. The basic requirement is gaps between product
items as they pass the sensor.
Connection details are given in the diagram below. Refer to the table on page
8-13 for full connector pin assignment details.

PRINTER INSTALLATION
The following is general information for installing the printer in a wide range
of working areas.
Printer cabinet and print head installation dimensions are given in the diagrams
opposite and on the next page.
Cabinet Positioning
The cabinet should be in a position where there is access to the front and left
side with clearances to open the doors as given in the diagram. The cabinet
must be level and electrically isolated from other equipment, except for a
normal data interface.
For total stability, the printer should be mounted on a Cabinet Stand (see
PART 8 Options and Accessories).
The printer should be sited in an area where the temperatures will remain
within +5C and +45C and the relative humidity will remain within 10% to
90% (non-condensing). The printer draws in and expels cooling air through
the handling recesses. These areas must not be obstructed.
Conduit and Print Head Positioning

The conduit must be kept away from power supply cables and other wiring
capable of producing electrical noise. The print head must also be electrically
isolated. This is normally achieved by the insulation coating on the print head
and its mounting components. However, if there is any danger of this being
insufficient, use the glass-filled nylon mounting bracket supplied loose with
the printer. The print head and conduit must also be as free as possible from
vibration.

The print head must be mounted perpendicular to the printing surface. The
distance between print head and print surface is optimised to the values given
above. Print quality will be maintained if the distance is between the limits
given, but will reduce outside these limits.

INSTALLATION
Electrical Supply
WARNING:
The cabinet must be properly earthed for the

safety of personnel working on the printer.
The printer should be connected using a suitable plug and socket outlet
which is accessible and close to the equipment, so that power can be quickly
disconnected. If a fused power connector is used, it should be fitted with a
5A fuse. If a fused power connector is not used, then the supply circuit
should have a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 5A.
The supply must be free from electrical noise. Domino can give advice on
suitable devices to ensure trouble-free operation.

200V - 240V, 200VA, 50-60Hz (nominal).
9-23
INSTALLATION
SENSOR INSTALLATION
Details are given in PART 8 Options and Accessories of the following types of
sensor:
Sensor Assembly Proximity
Inductive Sensor
Sensor Assembly Fibre Optic.
The printer provides a 12V 100mA d.c. output for use by the sensor and a
12V NPN open-collector input for product detection signals back from the
sensor. The sensors are attached to a connector on the side of the printer
cabinet.
Sometimes the mode of operation and position of the sensor may be unique
to a particular application. Domino would be pleased to assist with any
problems.
Sensor Positioning
The sensor should be fitted at a position where it can detect the product
before the product reaches the print head. Either the leading or the trailing
edge of the product detect signal can be used. Once the product has been
detected, the print delay (in strokes) will then determine the message is
printed (a print trigger signal is given). Note also that each message can be
positioned further using a message offset.
Positioning the printed message on the product is, therefore, controlled by
two adjustments:
(a) Position of the sensor. The sensor should be as close as possible to
the print head and such that it avoids the next product being
detected prior to the current product being completed. The closest
distances may also be affected by the minimum print delay available
with the print format in use (see page 9-14).
(b) Adjustment of the Print delay through the printer control panel.
The aim should be to position the sensor and select a pulse edge which will
result in the minimum Print delay. A highly unsatisfactory condition,
normally to be avoided, is where one product triggers printing on the next.
This becomes increasingly possible at high print repetition rates, such as with
small products passing at high speed.
