signalled with the INK: EMPTY BOTTLE messages). For more details refer to chapter Replacing Ink bottle in The
EBS-1500
Printer User’s Manual. Follow the procedure by performing the steps given below:
1. Prepare a new bottle of ink. The replacement procedure can be followed without interrupting the printing.
2. Remove the transponder of the currently used bottle from the transponder seat (secured with a cap, item 4 in
Fig. 2.1
) - the following message can be displayed on the terminal: INK: NO
BOTTLE
3. Place the transponder of a new sealed bottle (without removing the bottle from the ink-pot). One or more
messages may be displayed. If this is the right bottle, that is, a new bottle that has never been used (or
approved) before, the following message should appear at first:
BOTTLE VERIFYING:
WAIT 10 SECONDS PLEASE.
4. If a BOTTLE ACCEPTED message is displayed within 10 seconds, it means that the new bottle and the
transponder are right for a given printer. In such a case leave the approved transponder in its seat. Unscrew
the old bottle, unseal the new one and screw it in to the ink pot (if the transponder is removed from its seat, a
NO BOTTLE message can be displayed).
5. If no bottle error occurs, the message NO BOTTLE should be replaced with the normal status indication in the
printer status window.
5.2.
Removing Air from the Print Head
Transport, manipulations to the ink system, or other
reasons may result in accumulation of air within the
print head. In consequence ink drops are not jetted
from some or all nozzles. This is illustrated in the
sample on the right.
In order to remove air from the print head, follow the instructions below:
a). Screw the ink bottle out (item 2 in
Fig. 2.1
) and screw the ink pot plug tight (item 4 in
Fig. 2.1
).
b). Open the vent cap (item 3 in
Fig. 2.1
).
c). Remove the seal cover from the front of the print head - see
Fig. 4.7.1
.
d). Place a vessel under the nozzle outlet.
e). Press the rinse key
(item 5 in
Fig. 2.1
) at the back of the head housing for about 1second. The ink pump
starts running to pump ink from the ink pot to the head chamber. As pressure is generated, air bubbles and ink
start jetting out of the system.
f). Release the rinse key
.
g). Wipe the front of the head with dust-free cloth (supplied by the Manufacturer) crosswise, with reasonable
pressure.

h). Start printing a sample file and check the quality of printing with every nozzle.
