4.6 Printer
The sealer has a built-in dot matrix printer (n.4-pict.4.3) with ink ribbon (n.7-pict.4.4).
The printing function is electronically controlled by the infeed photocell (n.6-pict.4.2), which activates the print when the
pouch is completely transited out of the reading range of the photocell. If you choose the printing function from the
control panel (see par.3.2.5) the printer will print the data set by the operator on the pouches before it goes out of the
machine.
The printer works correctly if the print quality is neither too soft or to strong.
The photocell works correctly if the printing phase stops automatically after the pouch is out of the reading range of the
photocell.
4.6.1 Insert of the ink ribbon case
To insert the case, follow these guidelines:
-
Swith off the sealer acting on the main switch (n.3-pict.1.1) and disconnect the power cable (n.2-
pict.1.1).
-
Loosen the 2 screws (n.2-pict.4.1) and turn the upper cover (n.1-pict.4.1) until its total openness: the screws (n.2-
pict.4.1) will be screwed to the frame machine (n.3-pict.4.1).
IF THE SEALER IS OFF FROM FEW TIME, TO AVOID BURNS NOT TOUCH SEALBARS (pos. B-
pict.4.2).
-
Insert the ink cartridge (n.7-pict.4.4) inside the print area (pos.A-pict.4.2)
-
Position the ink cartridge on the guide (n.9-pict.4.4): keep it tilted slightly to the rear of the machine (see pict.4.4)
-
Having identified the two coupling springs (n.5-pict.4.4), slightly rotate the cartridge and insert it into the inner spring
-
Without pushing, carrying the ink cartrige at the outer clip and insert until you hear a "click" into place.
This last operation has to be done without exercising any stress on the ink cartridge vanes (n.6-
pict.4.3): if there were any blocks to its placing, turn the rotor slightly and retry the input.
Warning: To avoid breaking of the ink cartridge, its rotor (n.7-pict.4.4) should be rotated only in
the direction of the arrow on the cassette tape itself.
-
Close the cover of the machine (n.1-pict.4.1) and completely screw the two screws (n.2-pict.4.1)
-
Turn on the machine (see par.2.4) and run a test print
When the machine is on and the engine in motion, should not feel bad dragging noises that
indicate the ink cartridge is not running properly.
General note :
-
Before introducing the ink cartridge, always check that the ink cartridge has no curlings.
-
To avoid damages to the printing head dots (see pict. 5.15), do not print without the ink cartridge inside.
-
In case you do not employ the sealer for some days, we suggest you to check the cleaning status of the printing
area (see par. 5.9).
-
In cases of high environmental temperature, we suggest you to remove the ink cartridge, if the sealer has not to
be used for long time.
