PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all these instructions
• FIRE
CAUTION:Consult the Product Safety Data Sheet for the ink to determine whether your printer uses"Inflammable" ink and additives.
If this is the case: – Place a foam, CO2 or powder extinguisher close to the printer
(maximum 10 metres).– The printer must be kept in a well aired place away from sources of heat, flames or
sparks.– Never leave ink or cleaning solution cans or cloths soaked in ink near the printer.– Never smoke near the printer. Display a notice with "NO SMOKING,
INFLAMMABLE INK" close to the printer.– Make sure to keep the printer very clean, as a dry ink deposit is highly
inflammable.– The ink, additive and cleaning solution cans must be closed and stored in a well
aired room.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
– The connection to the single phase mains electricity network, which uses astandard 3-pin plug with earth, must be easily accessible.
– The earth connection must comply with applicable regulations.
• HEALTH:
– It is strictly forbidden to wear contact lenses when handling consumable products.– It is recommended to wear safety gloves and goggles during filling and cleaning.

ALL MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM IMAJE AREPROHIBITED AND THEIR POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES ARE THE RESPONSABILITY OFTHE PERSON WHO PERFORMED THEM.

Any character or symbol of any font can bebolderized.B gives direct access to Bolderizationand the second time, B gives access toBarcodes. In the same manner, S givesdirect access to Select font and the secondtime to Select Symbols. T gives directaccess to Tabulation.
Press ENTER.
Bolderization is a digit from 1 to 9. Thehigher the digit the thicker the characterwill be printed.
A dialogue box will appear. Press 2 then ENTER tovalidate.

Consult the printer notice for anexplanation of the message parameters.
In order to carry out manual printing tests, you can,for example, reverse the different senses, but do nottick the tacho space. Programme a printing speed of250 mm/s, choose the object Manual start-up,programme margins of 10 mm, leave the TOP filter at100 µs, do not tick the DIN character space.Press ENTER to validate the parameters.

2 Message containing variables
To create the following message
This second example is to familiarize you with the notion of variables. Variables are theelements of the message that evolve according to the time (hour, date, time code) or a counter.
These variable elements can be printed with any font available in your printer.
PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PROGRAMMING THE ABOVE EXAMPLE
WHAT YOU MUST REMEMBER
1) To access the writing areaValidate Message editing, then Message, then New,then give this new message a title.E.g.: BESTBEFO
You are creating a new message which willbe added to the existing list.
Press ENTER to validate.

2) To compose the textEnter: BEST BEFORE: then move the cursor to thebottom line and enter: BATCH:
The cursor is at the top line of the writingarea.
A text can be centred beneath another one,either by placing the cursor on the desiredspot before entering the text or byinserting spaces in front of the text alreadyentered.
REMINDER: All the fonts can be used,including the bar code.You can change thefont, bolderize a text or screen a variable atany time.
3) To define the shift code parametersPress ALT P simultaneously.Select Shift code.
It is advisable to fix the variableparameters before inserting the variable ina message.
CAUTION: The variables and theirparameters are assigned to a particular jet.
Press ENTER to validate.Detail the parameters.

5) To define the counter parametersPress ALT P simultaneously.Select Counter.Press ENTER to validate.Detail the parameters.
The same counter can be inserted atseveral different places in a message.On amulti-jet printhead there is a differentcounter for each jet.
In this example the counter printings will be: 0010,0010, 0015, 0015, 0020, ... 9990, 9990, 9995, 9995,0010 ...Press ENTER to validate. CAUTION: Remember to initialize the
counter before the first printing ( ).

SOME MORERECOMMENDATIONS
1 - The printhead is made of highly precise parts.DO NOT TREAT IT HARSHLY.
2 - Do not ben an umbilical. Respect the minimum curve rays.
3 - Do not leave your printer on for long periods without printing.A main power cut may result in a difficult start-up.
4 - Do not interrupt the stopping cycle ( Wait 2 min.. ), theprinter could have difficulties to start-up again.
5 - For your safety, handle inks, additives and cleaning solutionswith care. These products are usually inflammable andirritant.
6 - Used inks and cleaning solution must be disposed of in aresponsible manner.
7 - CAUTION: the ink circuit is fitted with two stirrers located atthe base of the ink and recovery tanks, whose purpose is tomix the ink continuously. As a result, never disconnect theprinter from the mains electricity network for more than twohours without first draining and rinsing.
