1-1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
WARNING
● 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.
①Never install the printer in an enclosed space.
②Connect exhaust equipment to the printer in order to prevent it from filling with
organic solvent vapor.
● Do not insert tweezers, a screwdriver, or any other metal article

into the ink ejection hole in the end of the print head.
When the printer is ready to print, a high voltage (approximately 6 kV) is applied
to the deflection electrode section in the print head.
Exercise caution to avoid electric shock, injury, and fire.
● Be sure to shut off the power before replacing electrical

components (power, PC board, etc.). Be sure to unplug the power
cable from the electrical outlet before performing work with the
inlet cover .
Failure to do so could result electrical shock, injury or fire.
● Use an AC voltage of 100 to120 V or 200 to 240 V only and a power

frequency of 50 or 60 Hz only.
If the above requirements are not met, the electric parts may overheat and burn,
creating a risk of fire or electric shock.
● Use the power cable that is designated in this manual.
● Wire the power supply in accordance with this manual.
1-2

WARNING
● Never drain the ink or makeup waste solution into a public sewer
system.
Waste disposal must comply with all appropriate regulations.
Consult the appropriate regulatory agency for further information.
● Exercise caution to avoid inadvertently disconnecting, forcibly

pulling, or bending piping tubes.
Since the ink and makeup in some portions of piping tubes are pressurized, they
may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands or clothing.
If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or
cold water and consult a physician.
● While the printer is operating, do not look into the ink ejection hole
in the end of the print head.
Ink or makeup may enter your eyes or mouth or soil your hands or clothing.
If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or
cold water and consult a physician.
● Before servicing the printer, be sure to stop the ink ejection.

Because ink or makeup may splash into your eyes or mouth or onto your hands
or clothing. If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush
with warm or cold water and consult a physician.
● If an earthquake, fire, or other emergency occurs while the printer

is engaged in printing or just turned on, press the Main power
switch to turn off the power.
● The printer must be managed in compliance with all appropriate

regulations.
● Use Hitachi approved consumables and periodic replacement

parts.
Using products that are not designated by Hitachi could cause s failure in
certain functions.
1-3

WARNING
● When charging a refill of ink or makeup, exchanging ink, or
otherwise handling ink or makeup, take enough care not to spill
ink or makeup.
If you spill any ink or makeup by mistake, wipe it off neatly and
promptly with wiping paper or something similar. Do not close the
maintenance cover until you make sure that the portion you have
just wiped is completely dry.
You must pay particular attention when you have spilled ink or
makeup inside the printer and it is not completely dry. Why?
Because vapors of ink or makeup will stay inside the printer and
may catch on or cause a fire.
If you find it hard to wipe the printer when it is turned on, stop it with the
maintenance cover open. Power it down, and then wipe it off again.
● If you wish to clean the casing of the printer with wiping paper
impregnated with makeup, be sure to do so with the power off.
Attempting to clean it when the power is on will cause makeup or vapors of
makeup to enter the printer, possibly catching on or causing a fire.
When the cleaning is over, open the maintenance cover and make sure that no
makeup has entered and no vapors remain inside.
● Should you find a leak of ink or makeup inside the printer while the
printer is running or being maintained, wipe it off promptly with
wiping paper or something similar. Then, with the maintenance
cover open, stop the printer, power it down, and repair the leak.
Continuing operation with a leak of ink or makeup will cause an anomaly,
resulting in abnormal printing.
Ink and makeup are flammable. They may therefore catch on or cause a fire.
● If you wish to receive ink particles in a beaker, for a printing test

for example, use an electrically conductive beaker and connect the
beaker securely to the ground.
Do not let the tip of the printing head enter the beaker.
Ink particles used for printing are electrically charged. An ungrounded beaker has
a gradually rising charge, possibly catching on or causing a fire.
● Ensure that all electrical wiring, connections and grounding comply

with applicable codes. Properly connect the printer to its dedicated
ground.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or fire.
● When welding, keep enough space between the IJ printer and the
welding work area to prevent the arc from starting a fire. Also, be
sure to insulate the print head and IJ printer frame to keep the
welding current from flowing to the control section of the printer,
and to make a separate ground connection for the printer.
Exercise caution to avoid electric shock and fire.
1-4

CAUTION
● Use the printer in an ambient temperature prescribed for each nozzle
diameter and ink and 30 to 90%RH (no condensation) environment.
①When using the printer in 85 to 90%RH environment, air purge the print head.
②Using the printer outside the specified conditions may cause abnormal printing and
erroneous operation and trouble.
● Since the ink and makeup contain organic solvents, observe the
following handling precautions.
①Secure adequate space for the ink/makeup handling area and printer installation
site. At least 200 m3 must be provided per print head.
②Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.
When handling the ink or makeup, wear protective gloves and safety goggles to
avoid direct skin contact. If the ink or makeup comes into contact with skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and warm or cold water.
③When transferring the ink or makeup to or from a bottle, exercise caution to
prevent it coming into contact with the printer or surrounding articles.
If there is any spillage, immediately wipe it clean using a cloth moistened with
makeup.
④Since the vapor pressure of the makeup is generally high, if the ambient
temperature is high such as in the summer, etc., the internal pressure will rise and
makeup could spurt out when the outside cover is removed. Therefore, when
unplugging,
● do not hold the bottle near your face
● place the can on a level surface
● open while covering the opening with a rag, etc.
● Ink and makeup must be stored as flammable liquids. Storage must

comply with local regulatory requirements. Consult the appropriate
regulatory agency for further information.
● Ink and makeup must be handled in compliance with the Industrial
Safety and Health Law and PRTR Law (environmental contaminant
discharge/emigration/transfer registration). For information on
handling, see the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). The MSDS can
be accesses from the following web site or from our sales office.
URL http://www.hitachi-ies.co.jp/ijp
● If extraneous noise enters the printer, it may malfunction or break
down.
For maximum noise immunity, observe the following installation and
wiring precautions.
①Ensure that 100 to 120 VAC or 200 to 240 VAC power cables are not bundled with
other power supply cables.
②Insulate the printer main body and print head so that they do not come into direct
contact with the conveyor or other devices.
③If the employed print target detector is housed in a metal case, use a plastic
mounting brace for the purpose of insulating the detector from the conveyor and
other devices.
④Be sure that the print target detector wiring is not bundled together with other
power supply cables.

CAUTION
● When handling PC boards and electric parts, be careful of static
electricity.
PC boards and electric parts mount elements weak against static electricity. When
handling PC boards and electric parts remove the static electricity by wearing a
suitably grounded anti-static wrist band.
● A touch panel is employed for data entry to operation screen.

When manipulating the Touch panel, use only fingers. If the touch
panel is operated with metal and/or sharp objects such as ball
point pen, it may malfunction or break down.

- Calibration of viscometer is required for the model PH-D.
- The calibration of viscometer is to determine the “coefficient” inherent in the equipment.
- Calibrate the viscometer when installing equipment. Normally, calibrating it once is
enough. However, calibrate the viscometer again when changing the type of ink, and
also calibrate a new viscometer after replacement.
- Be sure to calibrate the viscometer when beginning to use new ink.

4.9 Troubleshooting when Fault Occurs in Viscometer
Perform the following when abnormality occurs in the viscometer:
Note: If abnormality occurred when “Viscometer Calibration” was executed
during installation, no “coefficient” can be determined.
If “coefficient” has not been determined, the IJP will automatically
switch to the dot count system and operate.
The references for normal values are 1-3 seconds for fall time, and
1000-2000 for coefficient.
(1) Viscosity Reading Instability
Phenomenon: Some unevenness occurred in 5-time measurement results of fall
time. (The difference between the maximum and minimum values
of fall time exceeded 10% of average value.)
Estimated cause: Entrance of foreign object
Troubleshooting:(a) Recalibrate: Proceed with (b) if no recovery is made.
(b) Disassemble and clean viscometer: Proceed with (c) if no
recovery is made.
(c) Replace viscometer.
(2) Viscosity Readings Out of Range
Estimated cause: Ink adhered to the IN-side of viscometer.
Troubleshooting: Disassemble and wash viscometer.
Estimated cause: Proximity sensor was faulty.
Troubleshooting: Replace proximity sensor.
If there is no recovery with the above troubleshooting, replace the viscometer.
(3) Viscometer Temperature Sensor Fault
Cause: Thermistor was faulty.
Troubleshooting: Confirm the connection of connector and replace the thermistor.

(D) Pull out the viscometer IN-side tube (mark G) from viscometer. (The ink in tube
will slightly drip: Fit wiping paper to the end of tube. No reverse flow of ink will
occur inside the viscometer.)
(E) Immediately lift the end of removed tube higher than the level of liquid in main
container, and then continue this for at least 10 seconds (to return the ink in tube
to the main container).
(F) When the ink has drained from tube and air enters it, release the tube. When air
enters the tube, no reverse flow of ink will occur even if the tube hangs down.
(2) Disposing of ink inside viscometer

Remove any ink remaining inside before removing the viscometer.
(A) Turn power on.
(B) Use “Solenoid Valve/Pump Test” screen of “Maintenance Work” to turn on the
pump to MV4, in that order, and operate them for at least 10 seconds. (The ink
remaining in viscometer will return to the main container.)
(C) Turn power off.
(3) Unplugging connectors

Caution: Do not perform this work with power turned on: Doing so will cause
“Viscometer Temperature Sensor Fault” to occur.
Unplug the connectors of lead wires at the back of circulation unit, and pull them
out forward through the grommet hole.
Proximity sensor: 4-pin; Thermistor: 2-pin (blue/black); Coil: 2-pin (blue/black)

6.6 Miscellaneous
6.6.1 Problems due to inappropriate ink stream position in charged
electrode
> If the ink stream does not pass through the charged electrode, the following
problems may occur:
(1) The height of printed characters will be larger than standard
(2) Since the ink drops are not charged normally:
- The character quality will degrade (characters are distorted).
- Print fault, such as appearance of crushed characters, will occur.
(3) Since the amount of charge on ink drops that are slightly charged for auto
phase detection among the dots not used for printing is abnormal, those
ink drops will be excessively deflected by the deflecting field and cannot
enter the gutter hole. Therefore, the gutter will be dirty, causing an
alarm of either Ink Drop Charge Too High or No Ink Drop Charge.
> Check the ink stream passing position in charge electrode, and adjust the
electrode so that the ink stream passes through its center.
> Adjustment procedure:
(1) Loosen the screw holding the charge electrode, use the slight clearance to
change the position of electrode, and then tighten the screw.
(2) Use small pliers to apply force to the bent portion of charge electrode for
correction.

6.6.2 Problems due to inappropriate ink stream position to gutter
> If the ink stream does not enter the center of gutter, the following problems may
occur:
(1) The ink stream hits the inner wall of gutter inlet and “splash” occurs. This
will dirty the gutter, causing either Ink Drop Charge Too High or No Ink
Drop Charge.
(2) Ink accumulates on outer circumference of gutter. The ink stream collides
with this sediment, which will cause the lower dots of printing to be missing.
(See section 6.5.1 for details.)
(3) The ink drops charged for auto phase detection are deflected by the deflecting
field. Therefore, the ink stream position is deflected to the positive electrode
from the center of gutter: If A is larger than 2B as shown in figure below, the
ink drops may hit the end surface of gutter.
> Check the ink stream position, and perform adjustment making sure that the ink
stream enters the center of gutter.

the dots comprising a character are lost.

(1) When equipment was in the ink jetting status
