automatic cleaning with solvent is not required at the time of startup and termination.
26-dot high quality characters
Character height is up to 26 dots, font type is up to 2424 dots, number of lines is up to 4 and the
maximum print speed is 1780 characters/sec at 60m nozzle, 2041 characters/sec at 50m nozzle,
and 2666 characters/sec at 40m nozzle.
For using in JAPAN and CHINA, JIS 1st and 2nd standard Chinese characters, Katakana, Hiragana,
alphanumeric characters and symbols can be printed.
For using in other country, Latin and Arabic alphanumeric characters and symbols can be printed.
With standard built-in simplified Chinese fonts, it is suitable for international usage environment.
User characters can be registered.
dots
dots lines
16
Circulating ink automatically during operation stop
The machine has the interval mechanism to circulate the ink automatically during operation stop.
Therefore there is no worry about nozzle clogging caused by ink dry during long holidays. The time
to start and end the interval mechanism can be set arbitrarily using a timer.
Design taking safety into consideration
The housing has the dust-proof and waterproof (IP24) mechanism and is designed taking safety, such
as high voltage protection, into consideration.
Responsive support
We have developed the hardware and software, therefore we can provide you with responsive
customer support.
Pigment sedimentation prevention function by pump circulation
(pigment ink machine only)
In the pigment ink machine, this function stirs the ink using pump circulation to prevent sedimentation
of the pigment components in the ink.This function starts up when the power is turned on. In
combination with the interval function, it eliminates problems due to sedimentation of pigments when
the machine is idle for long periods.

Character / Printing Calibration
Characters Used
The following characters can be used.
Character Height
The character height is set in 29 steps.
The height of the actual characters for the print target is related both to this set value, and the distance
from the print head to the print target.
When the distance to the print target is fixed, printing using character height 29 is magnified
approximately 3.6 times the height of character size 1. Character height can be set for each message.
Horizontal Dot Pitch
This function sets the pitch between dots along the width of the characters. The pitch can be set for
each message in the range 0.10mm to 10.00mm.
Density
This function sets the character darkness. Density is added by overprinting immediately after printing
one vertical line. Density can be set for each message in the range 1 to 4.
For example, with density 2, immediately after one vertical line has been set, the same content is
printed once again immediately.
Interspacing
This function inserts unused ink droplets when printing between the ink droplets used in printing to
improve the print quality. The greater the interspacing, the better the print quality, but the slower the
print speed. Interspacing can be set for each message.
Can be edited in the range 0 to 15, only when Manual has been selected for Interspacing type
settings .In reality, however, the settable range depends on the number of scan dots, the print speed,
and the horizontal dot pitch.
When Auto has been selected, set the optimum interspacing from other settings. And display
interspacing with a decimal convenience because a change of interspacing makes it plain.
Print Position
This function sets the distance to the point where print actually starts after print command signal is
inputted.
The position can be set for each message in the range 0 to 999.9mm.
Use country Characters
JAPAN
CHINA
Alphabet, numeral, symbols, hiragana, katakana, kanji (JIS No.1 and No.2
standards), simplified Chinese characters (GB2312), and user-defined characters
(192 characters max.)
Other Latin and Arabic alphabet, numeral, symbols, and user-defined characters (192
characters max.)
54
Print Speed
By setting the conveyer speed beforehand, the details of the items set by the distance such as print
position and horizontal dot pitch, etc., are correctly expressed in the print results.
Print speed can be set for each message in the range 1.0 to 350.0m per minute. In reality, however, the
settable range depends on the number of scan dots, the horizontal dot pitch, and the interspacing.
If the conveyer speed fluctuates greatly, printing can be performed using the rotary encoder speed
tracking signals.
Print Style
This function sets the top/bottom of characters, writing direction and vertical/horizontal/mirror writing.
Configuration of printing style includes the followings:
Print direction, and top and bottom: Set for each message
Writing direction and top/bottom of characters: set for each module
Examples of top/bottom of characters and writing direction:

Advanced Use
Filter
Print commands use photoelectric sensors or external signals. If chattering occurs in these signals,
trouble such as failure to print, print position error, or skipping numbering, etc., may occur. This
occurs due to the chattering timing and a characteristic that ignores print commands entered during
CCS-R print operations (print position standby and printing after the print command has been entered).
Examples of the nonconformance are described below.
If the spacing between jobs is too narrow: No printing
If the spacing between jobs is even narrower: Print position error

If the space between jobs is too great: skipping numbering
CCS-R is equipped with a " filter" function to prevent this type of trouble. The " filter" functions to
remove exceptional print commands by performing compensation within the CCS-R even if chattering
occurs in the photoelectric sensors (or external signals). There are two types of compensation, " OFF
Filter" and " ON Filter" , both of which are set using the distance (in mm), and conform even if a rotary
encoder is connected. If not in use, set the value to 0. Further, both the ON and OFF filters can also be
used simultaneously.
OFF filter operation
Internal compensation method: Aims to prevent troubles such as the misprints described above by
ignoring print commands entered over the set distances even if the print command has
been completed.

Aims to prevent the troubles described above by rechecking after the print command
has been turned ON and the set distance has been traveled. If the signal is ON, printing
is performed, and if the signal is OFF, the print command is ignored.
Caution
* This function is for handling chattering only. Care is required as it is presumed that chattering

Repeat Printing
This function repeatedly prints the same content to the number of times specified.
The following two types of print conditions can be selected.
Trigger: Prints repeatedly the specified number of times after the print command has been turned
ON.
The number of times can be set from 1 to 9999.
While ON: Prints repeatedly the specified number of times while the print command is turned ON. If
the print command is turned OFF before the specified number of times has been reached,
however, printing will stop at that point in time. Further, if the print command is turned OFF
during printing, the message being printed will finish being printed before the command is
turned OFF.
The number of times can be set from 0 to 9999, and infinity (set to 0).
The pitch of the repeats can be set. Here, the pitch specifies the distance from the end of the previous
printing to the start of the next printing. The distance can be set from 0.0 to 999.9mm.
Repeat printing can be set separately for each message.
Calendar update: Determines whether to refresh the calendar module during repeat printing.
Numbering update: Determines whether to update the numbering module during repeat
printing.
Forced end by P.disable:
Determines whether to end repeat printing using either a print prohibition
input signal or the print prohibition key.
Multiple Size Printing
This function prints by expanding the characters along the horizontal.
The magnification function magnifies in the horizontal direction only; the vertical size does not change.
Magnification can be set from x1 to x8 (1 is normal print size) for each module.
Character Spacing Setting
This function adjusts the distance between characters.
The set unit is dots, and can be set for each module separately in the range of 0 to 31 dots.
This function can also be set to apply a space of the set distance after the final character of the module.

Calendar Module
This function performs printing while automatically updating the production date and expiration date
(i.e., best before), etc.
10 calendar modules can be registered.
The expiration (best before) date is defined using offsets against the production date (for example, one
month from the production date), and the expiration date offset can be set in units of years, months,
days, hours, and minutes.
Calendar Characters
Dates and times in the calendar module are expressed using calendar characters.
Calendar characters are printed by being replaced with the characters allocated using the " character
allocation setting" .

Calendar Character Replacement
Normally, the production date and the expiry date are printed using Arabic numerals but, for example,
printing 99.10 as 99.X is possible by replacing the 10th month (October) with " X" .
Replacement for each calendar character unit are possible, such as for the 1000s and the 100s, etc.,
and all characters that can be printed using this machine can be replaced.
Replaced characters are commonly referenced by all production date modules and expiry date
modules.
There is only one type of replacement. Consequently, it is not possible to replace October with " X" in
one message, and replace October with " Y" in another message.
Zero suppresion is possible depending on the calendar character replacement. However, there is no
function to left-align the figures by filling in the blank.

Advanced Use
Day of the Week Setting
This function sets which day of the week to use as the start of the week.
The function is referenced when printing the number of weeks elapsed since the start of the year using
the week number character, which is one of the calendar characters.
PM Switchover Timing Setting
This function enables the PM switchover to be set to an hour and minute of your choosing.
The function is referenced when printing using a single calendar character for AM and PM.
The normal setting is 12:00, and only one type can be set.
Setting the Method to Calculate Expiry Date Displays
If the date calculated based on the amount of calendar offset does not actually exist, it must be
adjusted to an actual date. (For example, if the " offset amount: 1 month" is set to 31 January, then
exactly one month later would become the non-existent date of 31 February.)
The machine enables three types of calculation methods (adjustment methods) to be selected.
This function is enabled if the offset amount " year" or the " month" is other than zero. If if offset amount
is specified using the number of days only, the date is calculated just by adding the offset amount to
the production date.
For example, if the expiry date offset are one month or 30 days, the expiry dates are calculated as
follows:
Calculation Method Adjustment Method
Start of Month If the calculated result does not actually exist, adjusts to the first day of the
following month.
Carried-over If the calculated result does not actually exist, the number of days until a
date that does exist from the day of calculation us added to the following
month.
End of the Month If the calculated result does not actually exist, adjusts to the last day of that
month.

The numbering digits can be set between 1 and 8. In addition to the numbering, the following settings
are also possible. A maximum of 10 items can be registered.
Initial value, end value, and count up/count down
Increment (how many counting up or counting down.)
Advance (counting up or counting down at that time of how many times the same value is printed.)
Return to initial value when the date is updated, and zero suppression (Convert zero to space.)
Numbering Character Replacement
Numbering is normally printed using Arabic numerals but, for example, this function can print 11 as
AA by replacing the number 1 with the letter " A" .
All characters that can be printed by this machine can be allocated by the user to the numbers from 0
to 9.
Changing the Current Numbering Value
This function changes the current value of the numbering and the incremental advance.
The function is used to set a specific value as the current numbering value if trouble occurs, or to
continue printing a numbering run from the previous day, etc.
The current numbering value can be changed separately for each numbering module.

About Code 128
Refer to below for Code 128 in the CCS-series.
Optimization
In Code 128, some codes of group A doublicate to those in the group B while the codes that will not
duplicate are special codes for use for ESC sequence. This is why CCS will not employ the codes of
group A.
In other words, CCS uses codes in Group B and code of Group C for connecting numbers in order to
keep the code length minimum. This is called optimization.
Where the number continues for more than six digits, they will be switched to the codes in the group C.
As the codes in the group C for two digits of numers can be described by one character.
So, where the number continues, the code length can be kept minimum.
Supporting EAN128
In EAN 128, A.I. (application identifier) will be put in the brackets. Such brackets will be shown in OCR
but will not be included in the codes. So, in CCS those inside the brackets are treated the same way.
When the codes inside the brackets be included in the codes, then they can be treated as one character
by consequtive ((.
As FUNC1 is used as the Delimiter (Terminator) of the variable length data it can be input with CCS.
Barcode Module Details setting
In the screen of " Barcode Module Details" setting will take place for others than those to be encoded.
Some of the important points will be explained below.
To set barcode height
Height does not include OCR. In setting to 18 dots or more, OCR has nothing to add.
Bearer bar of ITF, top and bottom bar will be printed in the vertical dots.
About omitting CD:
When Check digits is registered in the Barcode module, it is possible to print by omitting CD only with
OCR characters.
Caution
* Variable character will be prioritized. Where there are Check digit, Calendar or Numbering in the
character line, they are treated as a priority as a Variable character.
* OCR will not print Check digit.
74
About division of OCR
The standard regulations of ITF defines that spacing is made in OCR as below. With CCS spacing can
automatically be inserted by setting so.
About start and stop character
With Code 39 / NW7, the start charater and the stop character can be added at the leading and the
traling ends.
With CCS it is possible not to print this character to OCR by setting so.
(The specifications of standard regulations allows this function to be added to the barcode data.)
In the case of NW7, you can select small character as start and stop character.

Managing Consumables
A consumables management function is built into CCS-R. If set in advance, at the set time an
information screen will be displayed (and a buzzer will sound), to notify that the set date has arrived.
Use this function to estimate when to replace parts that must be replaced periodically.
Operations Explanation
This section explains the setting procedure and
operations using ink management as an example.
Set the replacement period according to the

type of ink to the date obtained by adding the
replacement date to the current date.
Example: Replacement period is five months
from today, 1 January 2007
* Set the replacement method to " Date" .
* Set Day " 1" Month " 6" Year " 2007" .
Further, at this time, the replacement period
can be set automatically by entering the ink
type set at the time of factory shipment by
pressing the
.
(Auto) key.
O
After the set period has elapsed, the elapsed
time notice screen will be displayed when the
power supply is turned ON. (A buzzer will also
sound at the same time.)
Subsequent operations can be selected using
this screen.
Release : Clears the settings.
Reset: Displays the advanced settings
screen.Make the settings again.
Continue: Move to the regular screen
keeping the current settings.
Normally, press select " Continue" to solve
problems using the regular screen.
(using the ink example, replace the ink and
make the settings again.)
Further, the icons are displayed in the main
header at this time, to show that " continue"
has been selected.
If " continue" has been selected, the elapsed
time notice screen is also displayed the next
time the power supply is turned ON. (The
display will continue until released, or the

Other Functions
Speed Tracking Printing
Printing can be performed at a fixed itch even if the conveyer speed fluctuates violently by receiving
speed tracking signals from a rotary encoder.
Either the internal clock or a rotary encoder can be set as the print clock.
The following settings are available if using a rotary encoder.
* No. of pulses per rotation
* Distance per rotation
* Rotation direction
These set values must satisfy the following conditions.
Interval Operation
This function turns ON the power supply automatically at the specified date (day of the week and time),
circulates ink with the gutter closed, and turns OFF the power supply at the specified time. The ink
temperature can be stabilized and stable printing performed during actual use by turning ON the power
supply before the start of printing when using this function. Further, if the machine is not used for a
long period of time, ink solidification can be prevented in the nozzle by using this function.
Tracking Function
This function prints in order by maintaining detection of multiple jobs. I f the distance between the
head and the photoelectric sensor is great due to the installation, turn " ON" this function. (1310mm
max.)
* A maximum of six jobs can be detected. (Any more are ignored.)
* If the print position i s " 0" or one-shot printing i s " ON" the tracking function will not operate even
if it is t u r n e d " ON" .
* If the next print job is started while printing is still being performed, the current job will be
prioritized, and the start of the next job will be ignored.
Forced Printing
This function prints using control panel key operations only.
Photoelectric sensor inputs are unnecessary, so mainly use this function to determine the cause if
trouble occurs.

Further, interval operation is a function that stabilizes the ink temperature and viscosity when the
power supply is turned ON and before printing starts to enable stable printing to be performed during
actual use. In addition, if the machine is not used for a long period of time, ink solidification can be
prevented in the nozzle by using this function.

Manual Displays an alarm screen if the detection time exceeds the tolerances.
(Printing continues.)
Note: " Easy adjustment" using the alarm screen: Adjusts the detection
time to within the charge detection time (range).
" Complete adjustment" : Readjusts the detection time to within the
charge detection time.
118
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Detection Time Compensation
Interlock Displays an alarm screen and stops printing if the detection time exceeds
the tolerances.
Note: " Restore" using the alarm screen:
Readjusts the detection time to within the charge detection time, and
resumes printing.
Variable Changes the detection time set value and viscosity standard value
depending on head temperature and ambient temperature changes, and
adjusts the detection time and ink viscosity. (This is a special function, so
consult us if using this function.)
Advantages Even if the detection time is misaligned due to great external temperature
changes, a stable print quality can be maintained constantly.
Disadvantages Print signals entered during detection time adjustment are ignored,
causing no-prints to occur.
Although occurring randomly, if the intervals between prints is short or
during phase adjustment time, or if the charge detection time (range) is
narrow, the risk of occurrence increases.

Inspection and Maintenance
InspectionandMaintenance
To use the device in a satisfactory condition for a long time, and to maintain a satisfactory quality at
all times, make sure to read thoroughly this " 7. Inspections and Maintenance" , and perform suitable
maintenance.
The CCS-R uses an automatic nozzle sealing system with gutters, so there is no worry about nozzle
clogging due to hardened ink. Further, stable printing can be maintained at all times by using the
automatic viscosity calibration mechanism and the interval timer. In addition, even in the unlikely event
that a malfunction such as unstable printing is detected, the malfunction can be repaired extremely
easily, and these malfunctions can be prevented by simple daily maintenance.
Periodic Inspections
Failure to make periodic inspections may cause malfunctions or poor printing. Perform suitable
inspections as described below. The items to be inspected are as follows.
Per i od I t em
Daily
Inspections
Check electrode unit and gutter dirt.
Remaining ink and solvent amounts, and waste liquid amount of condensate.
Check if the insulation tape is peeling off.
Weekly
Inspections
Check ink pressure.
Check sedimentation of pigment components in the ink tank (pigment ink
machine only)
Monthly
Inspections
Check extractor air filter and service life
146
Daily Inspections
Checking Electrode Unit and Gutter Dirt
The part that comprises the charge electrode, detector electrode, and deflection electrode is called the
electrode unit. If dust adheres to the charge electrode or detector electrode, or they are dirty with ink,
ink droplets will not be created correctly, and the warning lamp near the display screen will light, the
alarm will sound, and printing will be disabled.
Printing will also be defective if the bias electrode and gutter are dirty with ink.
To check the electrode unit for stain, change to the stop mode, then remove the head cover. For details
of cleaning electrode unit, refer to " P161: Cleaning the Electrode Unit" .
For details of checking and cleaning the gutter, refer to " P164: Cleaning the Gutter and the Ink Outlet" .

Checking the Remaining Ink and Solvent Amounts,and Waste Liquid Amounts
It is recommended to check carefully the remaining amount in the ink and solvent tanks to make sure
that the ink and solvent do not run out during operation. If the ink and solvent should fall below the
required amount, the ink lamp on the control panel will light, and an alarm will sound. Replenish the
ink and solvent promptly. The ink and solvent can also be replenished while the device is operating.
For detailed check and replenishment methods, refer to " P184: Replenishing Ink and Solvents"
The solvent included in exhaust is gradually stored in the condensate tank. Do not use this waste liquid
again as solvent because it includes much moisture in air, etc.
For detailed check and disposal methods, refer to " P186: Disposal the Waste Lquid" .
Service Life
There is a service life to the ink depending on the specific ordinary environment. Using ink that has
exceeded its service life may make obtaining normal print quality impossible. Replace with new ink
even if the amount of ink used is small, and has not been all consumed by the expiration date.
For expiration date of ink or solvent, refer to the separate" Ink compatibility table" or description on
bottle label.
Reference
* The solvent depends on the use environment, but on average approximately 1L is consumed per
every 110 hours.
This is only a benchmark using average print conditions, however, so manage according to
individual use conditions.

Checking the Isulation Tape Inside the Head Cover
The insulation tape prevents leakage of high voltage from deflection electrodes to the head cover.
Check if the insulation tape is peeling off when opening the head cover in daily maintenance.
Before peeling of the tape worsen, order replacement of the insulation tape to the nearest sales office.
CAUTION
* Do not remove the insulation tape, even if it is peeling off.
Leakage of the high voltage would cause defective printing and may occur or inside of printhead
may be stained with ink.

Weekly Inspections
Checking Ink Pressure
If the ink pressure falls, correct ink droplet creation will be disabled, causing poor print quality and an
alarm to sound. Pay constant attention to the pressure value shown on the pressure display (i.e., the
display in the unit test).
For details, refer to " P187: Adjusting Ink Pressure" .
If the pressure does not rise even if the pressure adjustment screw has been turned, the cause may be
one of the following.
* Jammed ink filter
* Jammed pipes
In such times, it is necessary to replace the ink filter (see " P190: Replacing the Ink Filter" , and to clean
inside the pipes.
Check Sedimentation of Pigment Components in the Ink Tank
In the pigment ink machine, if the pigment components in the ink tank settle, printing may become light
and viscosity may become abnormal. Check that there is no sediment on the bottom of the tank. If there
is sediment, stir well with a stirrer.

Monthly Inspections
Checking the Extractor Air Filter
There is an extractor fan in the center of the CCS-R main unit. These fans suck air from the outside into
the unit, and vent from the bottom of the unit. Although also dependent on the environment, clean or
replace the filter approximately once a month. Cleaning can be performed using an ordinary
commercial vacuum cleaner. Perform inspections more frequently in sites where the airborne dust is
particularly great, such as when processing wood. For details, refer to " P195: Cleaning and Replacing

harsh conditions. For details of the inspection methods, refer to " P146: Daily Inspections" .
Attention to Stopping Pigment Ink Unit
If the pigment ink machine is left idle, there is risk that the pigment in the ink will settle and cause the
machine to malfunction. To prevent this, use interval operation to start up the machine each day. Refer
to P114: Interval Running for detail settings regarding interval operation. The standard is power on
for at least one hour per day. If interval operation cannot be used, the machine must be started up after
taking the following measures in accordance with the idle period.
* If the machine will be idle for one month or more, please contact our service personnel
beforehand.
I dl e per i od Meas ur es
2-6 days Turn on the power 2 hours before operation begins.
7 days or more
Using the stirrer, mix the pigment that has settled on the bottom of the
tank. Then, stir the ink for 1 hour in tank stir mode. After that, leave the
machine with the power on for at least 2 hours, and then begin
operation. If print density seems light, leave the machine with the
power on for another few hours, and then begin operation. Refer to
P139: Forced Churning for information about tank stir mode.
1 month or
more
Drain the ink and replace with solvent before leaving the machine idle.

Drying the Bias Electrode
When you pour cleaning fluid on the bias electrode while cleaning the electrode unit, or of the humidity
inside the print head and bias electrode rises due to the climate and ambient environment, etc., and a
nonconformance occurs such as being unable to increase the character size, it is necessary to dry the
electrode unit using a dryer. Apply warm air evenly to the bias electrode board from nearby using a
dryer.
Danger
* If the surface of the bias electrode is damaged, a short-circuit may occur, causing fire due to
electrical discharge or electric shock. Take great care not to scratch the electrode surface during
maintenance.
* Removing the head cover disables the application of high voltage. For stafety's sake, however,
take great care when working, even with the head cover removed.

Reference
What is the low-bias side?
In continuous ink jet printers, the ink flow that flies continuously straight into the gutter writes
characters by being biased (i.e., forced to curve) using an electric charge, but the dots that
comprise the characters are called low-bias (near to the gutter) if the degree of bias is small, and
high-bias (far from the gutter) when the bias is great.
Characters top and bottom, and low and high bias, depend on the print head settings and
installation direction, and so do not necessarily agree. Open the print head and check to see
whether either the top or bottom characters are high-bias or low-bias.

temporarily, causing lumps of ink to adhere
to the gutter edge. Further, even without
vibrations, the gutter may gradually become
dirty with ink through prolonged use.
If the gutter is dirty with ink, ink droplets may
be prevented from spraying normally during
printing, causing poor print quality (in
particular, missing dots on the low-bias side).

Af t er r emovi ng t he nozzl e, press out the tip
of the cleaning bottle at the nozzle outside
(where the ink exits) to create a forceful spray
of cleaning fluid. If the dirt is particularly
severe, dip the nozzle in the special cleaning
fluid.
Alternatively, use an ultrasonic cleaner for
approximately 20 minutes. (Otherwise, there is
a risk of ink hardening in the nozzle pores.)
O
Dry by blowing dry compressed air along the
opposite direction from the ink flow (i.e., from
the ink outlet to the inlet). If there is no
compressed air, use the enclosed blower.

nozzle. Next, check that there is no ink leaking
from the nozzle mountings. If ink is leaking
from around the nozzle, turn OFF onc e agai n
the " Pump" , " Ink on/off valve" , a n d t h e
" Bleed valve" , stop the ink spray, and remount
the nozzle.
O
After cleaning and mounting the nozzle, make
sure to check that the nozzle sealing is
completely closed, and then adjust and check
the direction of ink flow.
CAUTION
Attach the nozzle to see the serial number of
the nozzle side.
Reference
The nozzle pores are extremely fine. Using
the machine over long periods of time
gradually causes a buildup of contaminants
around the nozzle pores, which may prevent
the normal creation of ink droplets and
deterioration of print quality. Further, if ink
should harden in the nozzle due to an
operating error, or ink does not accurately
strike the gutter due to a dirt jam, etc., the
nozzle must be removed and cleaned.

Printing Trouble
Printing is Missed On the Low-bias Side
Cause Solution
There are lumps of ink in the gutter edge,
blocking the ink spray.
The ink spray direction has not been correctly
adjusted, so when printing the ink strikes the
gutter, and lumps of ink gradually build up in
the gutter edge. Clean around the gutter using
cleaning solvent, and check the ink flow
direction.

Troubleshooting
Print Head Trouble
There are lumps of ink in the gutter edge or the
deflection electrode, blocking the ink spray.
The ink spray direction has not been correctly
adjusted, so when printing the ink strikes the
gutter or the deflection electrode, and lumps of
ink gradually build up in the gutter edge.
Adjust the position where the ink flow enters
the gutter, and clean the areas around the
gutter, the ink outlet, and deflection electrode
using cleaning fluid.

The print position settings are unsuitable, and
printing is not on the job.
Change the photoelectric sensor position, print
command from the external I/O, or the print
position conditions.
The photoelectric sensor does not operate
correctly.
If the photoelectric sensor LED is not lit, the
photoelectric sensor cable may be broken, or
the connector is not correctly connected. (It is
possible that the photoelectric sensor
mounting position or direction is misaligned
and not performing detection correctly.)
If using a rotary encoder, the set rotation
direction is reversed.
Correctly set the rotary encoder rotation
direction to clockwise (CW) or counter-
clockwise (CCW) using the head settings

font size, and print position, etc.)Font print position can be set by the user or by specifying the number of
steps when creating the message.
