3. Accident prevention
The following presentation shows the measures in the event of an accident with ink and
solvent with the danger marking,
slightly ignitable
irritates the eyes and the respiratory organs.
3.1 Storage and handling (normal use)
GENERAL
These products must only used at points that are free from open
flames and other ignition sources. Do not use pressure for emptying
– the container is not a pressure vessel. Good household practice
and regular, safe removal of the waste materials restrict the danger
of self-ignition and other risks of fire to a minimum. The product can
charge statically. When pouring from one container to another use a
mass lead. The workers must wear anti-static shoes and clothing and
the floors must be conductive.
STORAGE
Observe the marking information. Store at 5 to 25°C in a warm, well
ventilated location at a safe distance from heat and ignition sources
and direct sunlight.
Do not smoke! Do not grant access to unauthorised persons. Open
containers must be properly closed and stored upright in order to
avoid leakage.
Smoking, eating and drinking must be forbidden in the storage and
working areas. Always keep in containers from the same material as
the delivery containers.
HANDLING
The development of combustible or explosive vapour concen-
trations must be prevented and vapour concentrations avoided that
are above the threshold values of the employers liability insurance
association. Keep containers closed tightly.
Keep sources of heat and sparks as well as open flames well away.
Use only spark-free tools. Electrical devices must be protected in
accordance with the corresponding standard.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale vapours and
spray mist.
Release R1.12 en
JET2 neo
3.2 First aid measures
EYES
Contact lenses must be removed. Rinse thoroughly with pure, fresh
water for at least 10 minutes, keep eyelids spread and call a doctor.
SKIN
Remove contaminated clothes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water or with a branded skin cleansing agent. DO NOT use solvents
or thinners.
INHALING
Take patient into the fresh air and keep warm and calm. In the event
of irregular breathing or of breath being missed resuscitate
artificially. Do not give anything orally, place unconscious patients
on their side and call a doctor.
MISCELLANEOUS In case of doubt or with persistent symptoms call a doctor. Never
give anything orally to unconscious patients.
3.3 Fire fighting measures
EXTINGUISHING
AGENTS
Recommended: Alcohol-resistant foam, spray water/mist, CO2 or
powder
DO NOT use water jets. Cool closed containers exposed to the fire
with spray water.
RISK OF FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
As the product contains combustible organic constituents, a thick,
black smoke develops in the event of fire that contains dangerous
combustion products. Decomposition products can constitute a
danger to health. Extinguishing waste water must not enter the
waste water channels or waters.
PROTECTIVE
MEASURES
If necessary suitable, independent breathing apparatus is required.
Release R1.12 en
3.4 Measures in the event of accidental release (spillage)
PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES
Switch off sources of ignition and ventilate room. Keep personnel
that are not absolutely necessary away. Do not inhale any vapour.
Observe the protective measures listed.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
MEASURES
DO NOT allow to enter waste water channels or waters.
Should the product enter waste water channels or the drainage
system the local water supply authority must be informed
immediately. In the event of contamination of streams, rivers or
lakes inform the national water authorities. Vapour is heavier than
air and can spread out on the ground. In combination with air it can
form an explosive mixture.
RESTORATION
Restrict and suck up spilled substances with a non-combustible
absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, infusorial earth)
and collect in a suitable container for removal. Preferably clean
areas with spilled substances with a detergent. Avoid solvents.

6. Operation
6.1 Construction/Structure of the device
The high-performance LEIBINGER JET2neo is manufactured of a solid two parts stainless
steel cabinet. Due to the two parts construction you will get a thermal separation between the
hydraulic- and electronic section. The device consists of the following main components.
Figure 12
Equipment configuration (General view)
1 – Electronic cabinet
4 – Reservoir tank „Solvent“
2 – TFT – Touch Display
5 – Reservoir tank „Ink“
3 – Hydraulic cabinet
6 – Print head with umbilical
In the closed electronic cabinet you will find the essential electronic components as power
supply, the TFT-Touch Display as well as the controller board.
The central arranged TFT-Touch Display describes the interactive interface for the operator.
This central entry medium with its 5.7” color display with backlight allows clear, self-explaining
operator guidance without additional keys and switches.
In the hydraulic cabinet you find all components which are required for the transportation and
preparation of ink as well as the two reservoir tanks for ink and solvent. The unpressurized
tanks can be refilled without interrupt procedure, odorless and splash-free during the operation.

The print head contains all mechanical, electronic and hydraulic components which are
required for the creation of print out. It is connected with the hydraulic cabinet by a flexible
umbilical.
6.2 Functional principle
6.2.1 Method of working
The JET2neo works in accordance with the continuous ink jet process. In this a constant
ink jet is emitted from a jet nozzle which is broken down into a series of equal size drops
under the influence of mechanical oscillations.
If required these drops are individually charged up electrostatically and deflected into a
constant electrical field depending on the charge. As a result not just one point but rather
a line of points can be applied contact-free with one jet. If the product used is moved
vertically to the drop deflection two-dimensional patterns (characters) can be created.
The drops that are not required for a programmed inscription are not charged and flow
uninfluenced through the electrical deflection field into a gutter. In the gutter the drops are
sucked up by a suction pump and fed back into the ink tank. Depending on the application
alphanumeric data and graphics can be entered with the TFT touch display.
Data for font and texts are stored in the device (even in the event of
power failure). If required it can be called up, altered or deleted quickly
and easily.
Further more, all jobs, fonts and graphics can be saved as a back-up
e.g. on a USB-stick.
6.2.2 Drop creation
During the drop creation the ink is pressed through a jet nozzle under pressure and at the
same time modulated in such a way by highly frequent sinus oscillations that are imposed
on the drop that it attaches itself to the nodal points of the oscillations and breaks down
into individual drops at a specific distance lA (please see the following figure “Creation of
a character”) from the jet. The oscillations are created with an oscillatory system that is
excited by a Piezo oscillator.
Operation – Elements and procedures
Group 6
Release R1.12 en
JET2 neo
6.2.3 Drop charging
In order to be able to charge the drops it is necessary for the ink to have electrical
conductivity. This is possible through the use of specific salts that dissociate in the solvent
used. The drop brake-off point of the modulated jet is automatically set in such a manner
that this happens inside the charging electrode.
The drops can now be charged up by creation of voltage between jet and charging
electrode, because they are given a negative charge through the charge shift resulting in
the charge electrode gap. A specific charge voltage is clearly allocated for each drop
charge.
6.2.4 Drop deflection
After the drops have left the charging electrode they fly through an electrical field. Here,
those droplets that were previously charged in the charging electrode are deflected. The
drops that have not been charged fly straight ahead into the gutter. Here they are sucked
up and fed back to the circular flow of ink. The charged drops are only deflected in one
direction, the other direction is performed by the product to be inscribed.
6.2.5 Creation of a character
Each character is defined by a two-dimensional matrix, e.g. 7 x 5. An ink drop can be
assigned to every point of intersection. The character is formed by deflecting the ink drops
in a vertical direction and by moving the product which is to be imprinted horizontally. The
ink drops which are not to be positioned are not given electrostatic charges in the charging
electrode, and pass through the electrical field without being deflected and on into the
gutter tube. The controller (CPU) of the printer calculates the values which are required
for the generation of charging voltages of the single characters.

Attention
The indicators only show approximated values of the respective filling levels.
The level metering is calibrated during each refilling with the activation of the
respective TAG.
If the TAG is activated at a subsequent date, this will lead to an erroneous filling level
indicator. Such kind of deviation can be corrected with the next refilling and TAG
activation.
Attention
The filling level indicators are meant for your guidance.
Ink or solvent must not be refilled as long as there is no respective message
displayed!
There is a high risk of overfilling if the operator carries out a refilling before the
respective message box indicates a refill!
Please follow the related hazard notes in the instruction manual.
Display of the remaining print outs
On the basis of the determined filling level and the data of the current print job the printer
provides a rough estimate of the remaining print outs. The determined value is displayed in
