Warranty Information
The printer is warranted against defects for one year or 2400 operating hours, whichever comes first.
Basic Operation Summary
Startup
Follow the on-screen prompts to start the printer. If a fault occurs during startup, refer to Section 2.1.2.
Shutdown
To shut down the printer, access the Manual menu and select 'No-cleaning stop' or 'Standby' as needed. A regular shutdown performs a nozzle cleaning sequence.
Printing
Edit print data by setting print format, characters, height, orientation, and repeat print options. You can also set future dates and times for printing.
Data Management
Save edited print data for future use and recall saved data as needed.
Environment Settings
Configure operation management, user environment, date and time, password, and control executable functions.
Auxiliary Functions
Sort created print data, change message numbers, delete registered data, change message names, and create/recall user patterns.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| No. | Message | Meaning of message | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Ink Drop Charge Too High | The value of the signal that detects the particle charge is too high. | Clean the gutter, deflection electrode, adjacent parts. Adjust the excitation setting to make sure that the ink particles are properly shaped. Adjust the ink pressure. Check that the ink beam is correctly retracted. |
| 11 | Internal Communication Error C | Failure of data processing within the engine section. | Turn OFF the power and then turn back ON. |
| 12 | Internal Communication Error M | Failure of data processing within the engine section. | Turn OFF the power and then turn back ON. |
| 1 | Ink Low Warning | The ink level in the ink tank is too low. | Add ink within 60 minutes. |
| 2 | Makeup Ink Low Warning | The makeup ink level in the makeup ink tank is too low. | Add makeup ink within 60 minutes. |
| 3 | Ink Shelf Life Exceeded | The cumulative ink ejection time exceeded the preselected alarm time. | Replace the ink. |
| 4 | Operating Temperature Too High | The ambient temperature is higher than the upper-limit operating temperature. | Ensure that the ambient temperature is within the operating temperature limits. |
| 5 | Operating Temperature Too Low | The ambient temperature is lower than the lower-limit operating temperature. | Ensure that the ambient temperature is within the operating temperature limits. |
| 6 | Ink Heating Failure | Failure of the ink heating section. | Contact your nearest Hitachi distributor. |
| 7 | Battery Low | The voltage of the built-in battery is too low. | When you start printing, set the correct calendar time again from the date/time setup screen. (→ Section 4.3, "Setting the Date and Time" on page 4-7.) |
| 8 | Product Speed Matching Error | The next speed-follow-up signal is input while printing is activated by the previous follow-up signal. | Expand the interval between the speed-follow-up signals or decrease the dividing ratio. |
| 9 | Viscosity Reading instability | Measurement results of viscometer vary. | Contact your nearest Hitachi distributor. |
| 10 | Viscosity Reading Out of Range | Viscometer does not function normally. | Contact your nearest Hitachi distributor. |
| 11 | High Ink Concentration | Ink concentration is high. | Ink concentration is now adjusted to normal level. If print quality is still poor, replace ink with a new one. |
| 12 | Low Ink Concentration | Ink concentration is low. | Ink concentration is now adjusted to normal level. If print quality is still poor, replace ink with a new one. |
| 13 | Excitation Setting Review | Excitation setting needs to be reviewed. | Determine the optimum excitation setup value running the nozzle property test, and update the old excitation setup value. |
