1-1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
WARNING
● Ensure that there is no flame- or arc-generating device around the
printer.
The ink and makeup are both flammable and may cause fire.
Fire can be generated by matches, lighters, cigarettes, heaters, stoves, gas
burners, welders, grinders and static electricity. Arcs may be generated from
open-type relays, switches, and brush motors. Before handling the ink and
makeup, remove static electricity from your body, peripheral equipment, and so
on. In the interest of safety, position a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the
printer.
● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, install the
printer at an adequately ventilated location.
①Never install the printer in an enclosed space.
②Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to prevent it from filling with
organic solvent vapor.
● Do not insert tweezers, a screwdriver, or any other metal article

into the ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.
When the printer is ready to print, a high voltage (approximately 6 kV) is applied to
the deflection electrode section in the print head.
Exercise caution to avoid electric shock, injury, and fire.
● Be sure to shut off the power before replacing electrical

components (power, PC board, etc.). Be sure to unplug the power
cable from the electrical outlet before performing work with the
inlet cover and/or side cover off (terminal block transfer, EZJ113
board replacement, etc.).
Failure to do so could result electrical shock, injury or fire.
● Use an AC voltage of 100 to120 V or 200 to 240 V only and a power

frequency of 50 or 60 Hz only.
If the above requirements are not met, the electric parts may overheat and burn,
creating a risk of fire or electric shock.
● Use the power cable that is designated in this manual.
● Wire the power supply in accordance with this manual.
1-2

WARNING
● Never drain the ink or makeup waste solution into a public sewer
system.
Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations.
Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.
● Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly

pulling, or bending piping tubes.
Since the ink and makeup in some portions of piping tubes are pressurized, they
may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing.
If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or
cold water and consult a physician.
● While the printer is operating, do not look into the ink ejection hole
in the end of the print head.
Ink or makeup may enter your eyes or mouth or soil your hands or clothing.
If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or
cold water and consult a physician.
● Before servicing the printer, be sure to stop the ink ejection.

Because ink or makeup may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or
clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with

1-3

WARNING
● When charging a refill of ink or makeup, exchanging ink, or
otherwise handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill
ink or makeup.
If you spill any ink or makeup by mistake, wipe it off neatly and
promptly with wiping paper or something similar. Do not close the
maintenance cover until you make sure that the portion you have
just wiped is completely dry.
You must pay particular attention when you have spilled ink or
makeup inside the printer and it is not completely dry. Why?
Because vapors of ink or makeup will stay inside the printer and
may catch on or cause a fire.
If you find it hard to wipe the printer when it is turned on, stop it with the
maintenance cover open. Power it down, and then wipe it off again.
● If you wish to clean the casing of the printer with wiping paper
impregnated with makeup, be sure to do so with the power off.
Attempting to clean it when the power is on will cause makeup or vapors of
makeup to enter the printer, possibly catching on or causing a fire.
When the cleaning is over, open the maintenance cover and make sure that no
makeup has entered and no vapors remain inside.
● Should you find a leak of ink or makeup inside the printer while the
printer is running or being maintained, wipe it off promptly with
wiping paper or something similar. Then, with the maintenance
cover open, stop the printer, power it down, and repair the leak.
Continuing operation with a leak of ink or makeup will cause an anomaly,
resulting in abnormal printing.
Ink and makeup are flammable. They may therefore catch on or cause a fire
●The ink and makeup, their waste solution, used wiping papers and
empty containers are flammable. Waste disposal must comply with
appropriate regulations. Consult the appropriate regulatory agency
for further information.
● If you wish to receive ink particles in a beaker, for a printing test for
example, use an electrically conductive beaker and connect the
beaker securely to the ground.
Do not let the tip of the printing head enter the beaker.
Ink particles used for printing are electrically charged. An ungrounded beaker has
a gradually rising charge, possibly catching on or causing a fire.
● Make sure the ground wire is properly connected to the ground

of the electrical outlet.
Failure to do so could result electrical shock or fire.

Auto-phase detection voltage gain is automatically adjusted in the IJ printer.
A target of the auto-phase gain value is about from “20” to “40” (65μm).
4 After the completion of the automatic adjustment, when the Back key is pressed,
the auto phase detection voltage is output and therefore, confirm the waveform by
an oscilloscope.
Using the oscilloscope, confirm that the voltage of TP1 (APH voltage) on the EZJ125 board
is from 8 to 10 V as the maximum voltage, 2 V or less as the minimum voltage, and is
“normal” as shown in the following figure.
For the position of the board and test pins, refer to “3.3.6 EZJ125. board.”
Normal Abnormal

5 When the automatic adjustment is not normally completed or the wave form is
“abnormality”, confirm that the periphery of the gutter part is made dirty with ink or
makeup. When dirtiness or the like is present, wash the periphery of the gutter
part, surely dry it and then, perform the automatic-adjustment again.
Numerical values of the auto phase gain value can also be input by a ten-key. To the value
set at present, if the auto phase gain value is set large, the gain becomes high, whereas if it
is set small, the gain becomes low. When the “return” key is input, the auto phase
detection voltage is output and the auto phase gain value is reflected.

2.6 Calibration of Viscometer
2.6.1 Calibration of viscometer
●The calibration of viscometer is to determine the “coefficient” inherent in the equipment.
●Calibrate the viscometer when installing equipment. Normally, calibrating it once is enough.
However, calibrate the viscometer again when changing the ink type, and also calibrate a
new viscometer after replacement.
●Be sure to calibrate the viscometer using new ink.
●Calibrating the viscometer can be done regardless of the ambient temperature.

*) When the operation confirmation of the viscometer is performed without the calibration,
press Operation test .
[Note] Record the coefficient value or data backup is recommended.

The coefficient value is recorded in the memory on EZJ128 board.
So at the replacement of EZJ128, the calibration with new ink will be
required in case that the value is not recorded nor made a backup.
When the calibration of viscometer is performed continuously for a
number of times, ink temperature within the viscometer increases and
the accuracy of coefficient value is disturbed. Set a limit to the
number of times of performing viscometer calibration to not more
than 3 times. If in any case it needs to be performed more than 3
times leave for about 30 minutes before performing again.

●You can enhance printing quality by increasing the “character height” setting value and
decreasing distance between printing head and print object, rather than decreasing the
“character height” setting value and increasing distance between printing head and print
object.
Setting the minimum value of “character height” prevents deterioration of printing quality.
●Add items online mode

(1). Function Summary
In the second page of “User Environment Setup” screen, which is the specific screen of
“Service Personnel Maintenance Mode”, the new item of “Add items in online mode” is created.
There will be selections of “Disable”, “24 items” and “100 items”. When the number of print
items currently set is short, the print items will be automatically added.
No. Timing when the print items are added automatically.
1 When the transition from off-line to on-line is made manually.
2 When the transition from off-line to on-line is made by external communication.
3 When the registered print data is recalled by external communication or by external
signal.
(2). Add-Items Process

The print items will be added, “Column” by “Column”, using the format of the last column,
such as the number of lines and the character size. If there be created the extra “Column(s)”
and the print item(s) can’t be added in units of “Column”, the print item of the single line, 5x8
(5x7) character size will be added. Please see below the examples when the print items are
added automatically.
[Example 1]
The print items are added in units of “Column” up to the numbers specified. (24 items are set.)

(3) Cautions
Functional Cautions
Using this new function, the print item(s) is/are added as extra print item(s) at the last column(s) of
single-line, 5x8 (5x7) character size. When the print start signal is inputted, the error “Blank Print
Items” will occur. If that happens, input space in the last print item(s).
When this function is used, please study adequately before printing, the print item format, such as
the number of lines, character size.
The error “Blank Print Items” will

occur when there is no character
inputted at the last print item(s).

Performance Cautions
When this function is used, please pay attention to those described below, the influence to
performance.
No. Function Name Influence To Performance
Since the print data is re-structured by adding the items, if the print start signal
Online is inputted right after the data transfer, the error “Print data changeover in
1
Transmission progress” will occur. Please input the print start signal 400ms after the data is
transferred.
The response performance will change whether this function is used or not.
However, if the number of registered print items which are recalled is more
than the number set by “Add items in online mode”, its response performance
will be the same as that when “Disable” is set.

[Caution]
●When “Short” mode is set and continuous printing was performed at frequent intervals, drop in
printing quality may occur.
●IJ printer applies charge signal at the timing of when ink droplets separate from an orifice to
charge ink droplets, and to maintain print quality, check of separation timing of these ink
droplets is performed.
●In “Standard“ mode, check of separation timing of ink droplets is performed between when
print target sensor signal is input and print signal is output. On the other hand, in “Short”
mode, to shorten the length of print preparation time, it does not perform check of separation
timing of these ink droplets. However, in ”Short” mode and when there is any time of over
640ms with no printing performed, the check is performed, and even “Short” mode is set, print
quality is maintained as long as appropriate printing standby time is saved.
●Separation timing of ink droplets changes depending on the ambient temperature or the ink
viscosity status. The separation timing of ink droplets changes in short time especially during
ink heating at low temperature, and when short mode is setup under such condition, it has a
higher chances that drop of ink print quality may occur. Before using this function, make sure
to perform checking under product line conditions and ensure it corresponds to usage
condition.
●There is a limitation on the message strings when “Short” mode is set.

2.19 Careful Cleaning Setup
۰This is the function to clean the printer carefully before the weekend, such as 2-3 day shutdown
period. This careful cleaning uses more amount of makeup than the normal cleaning.
۰This function can be also used when requested by the customer to clean the nozzle after the
printer was left unattended for a long time. Please obtain the customer’s understanding before
executing this function.
۰Please refer to the Table below for the differences between Normal Cleaning and Careful
Cleaning.

2. Precautions
The ink concentration will get lower compared to that of the regular shutdown process since the
shutdown process of “Careful cleaning” will use extra amount of makeup. (It will consume about the
double amount of makeup of the regular shutdown process. Please pay extra attention as stated
below.
(1) When the shutdown process of “Careful cleaning” is conducted, at the next start-up, please make
actual prints and check the print quality before use.
When the print quality is degraded, put IJP in a standby mode with ejecting ink, and use IJP after
the print quality is recovered. By ejecting ink, the ink concentration is automatically adjusted.
(2) At IJP start-up after the shutdown process of “Careful cleaning” is conducted, if IJP shutdown is
conducted repeatedly right after the start-up, the ink concentration will become lower gradually by
the automatic nozzle cleaning of shutdown process.
For stable IJP operation, when IJP is started, please run IJP with ejecting ink for a certain period of
time. By this IJP operation, the ink concentration will be automatically adjusted and its viscosity will
recover to the initial state. The required run time will depend on the operation temperature and the
ink type. Please refer to the chart below. *1 *2

The exhaust contains the vapor of makeup and it will be liquefied when cooled down.
Depending on the IJP’s installation environment, there will be a case that there is a big
difference between IJP’s inside temperature and the operating temperature.
When IJP is installed or when IJP is serviced at periodical maintenance, please check the
items below:
(1) Is there any wiring routed around the exhaust duct, such as the power cord, the electrical
signal wirings, etc.? Should there be dripping the wire/cable coating may get cracked.
 Please reroute the wiring and call customer’s attention.
(2) Is there any track of the dripping?

 Please propose a tray for dripping to customer.
 There may be a possibility that the ink/makeup was supplied to the ink/makeup
reservoir more than needed and it overflowed from the reservoir’s vent and ran to the
exhaust duct. Please call customer’s attention.

3）The efficient way to use the ultra-sonic cleaning machine
The efficient way to use the ultra-sonic cleaning machine for ultra-sonic cleaning of the nozzle orifice
1: How to find the optimum cleaning position

When the orifice is cleaned by the ultra-sonic cleaning machine, the aluminum foil can be used as a good trial
sample to find the right position to place the nozzle orifice in the machine.
As shown in the Figure 1 below, when the aluminum foil is put in the ultra-sonic cleaning machine then pulled out
and observed, spots where the surface status of the aluminum foil changes show up as in Photo 1. *1*2
The spots where the surface status is changed (the spots where the “holes” are in Photo 1) are the location
(height) where the ultra-sonic cleaning is made most effectively. Therefore, to conduct the ultrasonic-cleaning
effectively, the height should be adjusted by using the jig as shown in the Photo 2, prior to ultra-sonic cleaning.
*1 the change of the aluminum foil surface may be influenced by the liquid level of the cleaning tank.
If NO change is made to the aluminum foil, lower/increase the liquid level then check the status
of the surface again.

2: Notice, etc.
1. The material of the inner tank should NOT be made of resin. Either SUS or Glass is preferred.
Its thickness shall be thin. (Because the sound wave is absorbed [reduced].)
2. The up-and-down oscillation in the inner tank may work effectively if the optimal location (height) is unknown.
3. The opening of the orifice shall face down.
(The sound wave is attenuated by orifice’s own thickness.
It is preferred that the position you wish to clean
be placed facing the bottom of the cleaning tank.) Orifice opening
face down.
△ ○
4. Note that the ultra-sonic cleaning shows NO effect if there is air in the opening of the orifice.
5. The unevenness in cleaning strength exists in the horizontal direction in the cleaning tank.
Normally, it tends to be stronger in the center. By changing the horizontal position of the aluminum foil and
understanding the characteristics of the cleaning, the position to place the orifice can be optimized.
Because of the diffuse reflection, it is not always the case that the cavitations occurs only at the theoretical
positions. (By using the aluminum foil, the positions can be found anyway.)

6.5.10 Problems due to inappropriate ink stream position in charged
electrode
> If the ink stream does not pass through the charged electrode, the following
problems may occur:
(1) The height of printed characters will be larger than standard.
(2) Since the ink drops are not charged normally:
- The character quality will degrade (characters are distorted).
- Print fault, such as appearance of crushed characters, will occur.
(3) Since the amount of charge on ink drops that are slightly charged for auto
phase detection among the dots not used for printing is abnormal, those ink
drops will be excessively deflected by the deflecting field and cannot enter the
gutter hole. Therefore, the gutter will be dirty, causing an alarm of either Ink
Drop Charge Too High or No Ink Drop Charge.
> Check the ink stream passing position in charge electrode, and adjust the electrode
so that the ink stream passes through its center.
> Adjustment procedure:
(1) Loosen the screw holding the charge electrode, use the slight clearance to
change the position of electrode, and then tighten the screw.
(2) Use small pliers to apply force to the bent portion of charge electrode for
correction.

6.5.11 Problems due to inappropriate ink stream position to gutter
> If the ink stream does not enter the center of gutter, the following problems may occur:
(1) The ink stream hits the inner wall of gutter inlet and “splash” occurs. This will dirty
the gutter, causing either Ink Drop Charge Too High or No Ink Drop Charge.
(2) Ink accumulates on outer circumference of gutter, then the character quality will
degrade. (The lower dots of printing to be missing.)
(3) The ink drops charged for auto phase detection are slightly deflected by the
deflecting field. Therefore, if the ink stream position is bent to the positive
electrode side from the center of gutter and A is larger than 2B as shown in figure
below, the ink drops may hit the end surface of gutter.
> Check the ink stream position, and perform adjustment making sure that the ink
stream enters the center of gutter.

the dots comprising a character are lost.
Generally, missing of one per several thousand Dot
dots is normal, but this may increase if the Deflecting missing
direction
following abnormal status continues:
(1) When equipment was in the ink ejecting status (standby status) but ink was
not ejected due to clogging of nozzle, etc. and equipment was left as was.
(2) Moisture, dust, etc. entered the ink.
If dot missing increases, perform the following troubleshooting, referring to the instruction
manual:
(1) Replace the ink filter
(2) Replace the ink
