●Installing Precautions 1-19
(1) Provide a clearance around the IJ printer for daily
operation, handling, and maintenance access (see
the figure at right).
(2) The print head needs to be cleaned with the
makeup ink while the printer is operated and
stopped (daily maintenance). Adopt a fixed
structure in consideration of print head cover and
print head removal.
(3) Installation must be completed so that no vibration
will be applied to the IJ printer main body, print
head, or print head cable.
If they are vibrated, print quality deterioration and
print irregularity may be incurred (the maximum
permissible vibration value is 1.96m/s
2).
(4) The IJ printer main body must be installed with
alevelness error of not over ±1°.
(5) The IJ printer main body must be electrically insu-
lated from the other equipment (conveyors, pack-
ing machines,etc.), photoelectric switches, and the
rotary encoder.
(6) The standard distance between the printing head
and the object to be printed on is as indicated in the
right-hand table.
The smaller the clearance between the print head
and print target, the smaller the character height.
(7) The IJ printer proper requires maintenance as the
occasion may demand including replenishment of
ink and makeup ink and replacement of filter.
1.4 Installing Precautions
● 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.
Never install the printer in an enclosed space.
Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to
prevent it from filling with organic solvent vapor.

Furnish an adequate space for the ink/makeup ink handling
area and printer installation site. A space of at least 200 m
must be provided per print head. Ensure that adequate
ventilation is provided.
Follow all regulation in your country.
