CIP Training L5160/L5130

Basic Operation

Please refer to CIP Training 1: Input for "Media Setup" before changing any of the

follow settings.

Changing Print Origin

This section explains how to change the position of the print origin.

You cannot change the origin when a misfeed error occurs or during maintenance.

•The carriage moves when setting the horizontal origin. A buzzer sounds after 10 minutes or

more have elapsed since the carriage moved. As a discharge defect may be caused by dry

nozzles, carry out the work promptly.

About the print origin

When entering origin setting mode, the LED pointer on the bottom of the

carriage will indicate the print origin. Check the position indicated by the

pointer when changing the origin. When the change is completed, the position

set will be used as the reference point for printing.

1. Press [Origin Setting/Cut] on the bottom right of the screen.

2. Press [Left] or [Right] to change the horizontal origin.

The carriage will move in accordance with the latest numerical value. If the latest

numerical value is larger, hold down the button.

3. Press [Rewind] or [Feed] to change the vertical origin.

The media is fed in accordance with the latest numerical value. If the latest

numerical value is larger, hold down the button.

4. After the origin is fixed, press [Set].

The origin is changed, and the carriage will return back to its original

position.

Basic Operation

Adjusting the Heater Temperature

Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of the media. Set the

temperature of the pre-heater, print heater, post-heater, and cure heater

according to the type and characteristics of the media used. Automatic

temperature setting can be made on the operation panel by setting the profile on

the dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, see the instruction manual for your RIP.

Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.

This section explains how to check and change the temperature of the pre-heater, print heater,

post-heater, and cure heater.

Set the temperature of each heater depending on the media to be used. It takes several minutes

or hours to reach the configured temperature depending on the operating environment.

1. Check the temperature of each heater on the home screen.

For details about how to check the temperature, see "Checking the state of the heater".

2. Press [Heater Setting].

3. Select the [On] check box when enabling the heater.

Press [All On] or [All Off] to enable or disable the pre-heater, print heater,

post-heater, and cure heater collectively.

4. Press [ ] [ ] to set the temperature of each heater.

(mainly Europe and Asia)

•Press All +5°C All -5°C] to change the temperature of the pre-heater,

print heater, post-heater, and cure heater collectively. The temperature of

each heater can be set between 20 to 70°C or 20 to 95°C.

Basic Operation

5. Press [Close].

•Operate the machine in an environment that is within 15–30°C (59–86°F). The

heater temperature may not reach the setting value due to the surrounding

temperature conditions.

•When you turn the heater temperature down, change the job settings for the RIP

software to the following to ensure enough time for drying. For details about the

settings, see "Changing Printer Settings", RIP Settings Guide.

•Increase the drying time.

•Select a print mode with a higher number of passes.

•Print unidirectionally.

•The temperature of heaters can also be set in the RIP software. When the

temperature settings for the heaters are sent from the RIP software, the settings

configured in the RIP software take priority over the settings configured on the

control panel of the machine. For details, see "Changing Printer Settings", RIP

Settings Guide.

•Setting the heater temperature too high may lead to temperatures outside the

operating range of the machine. Avoid setting the heater temperature too high.

Test Feeding

Perform test feeding to check whether the temperature settings of each heater are appropriate

for the media to be used.

1. Press the [Standard Procedure] key.

DWU103

2. Press [ ].

3. Press [Test Feed].

4. Press [Yes] when you rewind the media to its original position after performing test

feeding.

CIP Training L5160/L5130

Basic Operation

5. Press [Execute].

6. Press [Cancel] to stop test feeding.

When you select [Yes] in Step 4, stop test feeding, and then rewind the media to its original

position.

7. Check the result of test feeding.

8. Press [Confirm].

9. Press [End].

If a problem is indicated in the result of the test feed, change the temperature settings for

each heater, and then perform test feeding again. For details about changing the heater

temperature, see "Adjusting the Heater Temperature".

•Depending on the media to be used, the media may ripple as the heater becomes hot. If the

media ripples when feeding, see "When Media Curls While Feeding".

Test Printing

Print a nozzle check pattern and check whether there are discharge defects such as nozzle

clogging (blurring or drop-out of printing).

You cannot print a test pattern on narrow media. When performing test printing, use media

that has a width of 420 mm (approx. 16.5 inches) or more.

•When using roll media, rewind the roll media and make sure there is no

warping before printing. Failure to do so may cause defects in image quality.

Performing Test Printing

•Never open the center cover or raise the lever during printing. Opening the

cover or raising the lever will abort printing.

1. Set media.

For details, see "Setting Media".

2. Change the print origin.

For details, see "Changing Print Origin".

3. Press the [Maintenance] key.

4. Press [Print Test].

5. Press [Execute].

The result of the nozzle check is printed.

6. Check the printed result.

•For details about the printing result, see "How to Read the Printing Result ".

•If there are abnormalities, perform head cleaning. For details about

head cleaning, see "Cleaning Print Head Nozzles".

7. Press [End].

How to Read the Printing Result

How to read the test printing result is explained below.

3. Print head 3

4. Nozzle D column

5. Nozzle C column

6. Nozzle B column

7. Nozzle A column

Check the position of the print heads where discharge defects such as clogging nozzles in

the nozzle check pattern have occurred. Check the print heads with discharge defects by

referring to the following illustration.

1. Nozzle clogging has occurred.

2. The nozzle check pattern is wave-like.

3. The nozzle check pattern is intermittent.

4. The intervals in the nozzle check pattern are not equal. (Bending lines have occurred.)

Check the clogged nozzle number. The numbers

on the left and right of the test pattern are used

for determining which nozzle is clogged. For

example, if nozzle clogging is in the location

shown in the following illustration, count left

from nozzle number 91 to determine that the

clogged nozzle is on nozzle number "94".

Basic Operation

Cleaning Print Head Nozzles

This section explains how to handle print heads.

•Head cleaning consumes ink. Perform this function only when necessary.

•Perform no other operations during head cleaning.

•Cleaning may be incomplete if ink in a cartridge gets too low or runs out

during cleaning.

•An error will occur and head cleaning will not be possible if:

•There is a misfeed.

•One of the machine's covers is open.

•The machine is performing maintenance operations.

•The machine has run out of ink.

•The waste ink bottle is full.

•The service call icon is displayed on the display panel.

About Head Cleaning

There are two types of head cleaning. Perform head cleaning according to the result of test

printing.

•Nozzle Cleaning: Low

If there are bending lines or clogged nozzles in the test printing result, perform Nozzle

Cleaning: Low.

•Nozzle Cleaning: High

If there are missing lines or ink has mixed, perform Nozzle Cleaning: High. Nozzle Cleaning:

High cleans the print heads more powerfully than Nozzle Cleaning: Low. Perform [Nozzle

Cleaning: High] also in the case of a media jam (scratches on the media) and extended decap.

The ink consumption for Nozzle Cleaning: High is greater than that of Nozzle Cleaning: Low.

If the printing problem is still not resolved even after performing Nozzle Cleaning: Low three

times, perform Nozzle Cleaning: High and clean the cap. See "Cleaning the Caps", Requests for

Daily Care and Maintenance. If the problem is still not resolved, see "When You Want to Clear

Nozzle Clogging".
