JET2 neo 2.10 Dangers through consumables Inks are coloured liquids on a solvent basis. The safety instructions on the containers of the consumables as well as the instructions in the group Accident prevention must be especially adhered to in order to exclude dangers for persons and the surroundings. Further instructions can be found in the Safety Data Sheets. When handling consumables (inks/solvents) the danger instructions and safety advice on the containers (transport, storage, distribution and correct disposal) must be observed! In addition we recommend observance of the safety information leaflets of the inks and solvents used. In the following you will find examples for the marking of inks and solvents. Figure 2 Examples: Labels for the marking of inks and solvents.

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.

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.

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.

Installation of the device The device must be installed in a well ventilated room only and must be kept away from any source of heat, flame or sparks, e.g. radiant heater, etc. Check device for damage! When determining a suitable place of setting up, the necessary additional space requirement for the movement room of the operating and service personnel must be taken into consideration. Solvents are processed in the device, adequate room ventilation must be ensured!

Figure 4 Movable underframe for JET2neo Ground plate 1 – Movable underframe 2 – Adapter plate JET2neo (2x) 3 – Printer JET2neo For this it is expedient to place the device on a device support. Remark: Device carrier set is available as an accessory. The device has four fastening possibilities for secure setting up and should be screw connected at the place of setting up. Figure 5 Fastening possibilities A place of setting up with sufficient load bearing capacity and stability must be chosen. Prior to assembly the place of setting up must be cleaned of dirt and contamination (residue of lubricants etc.) . 2 3 1 Fastening points

JET2 neo 5.3 Installation For adaption to the production line several works have to be carried out and operating parameters have to be set before start of operation. 5.3.1 Mains supply Mains supply! The device does not have a mains switch and should be only connected to an easy accessible socket close to the installation location! The LEIBINGER JET2neo should be connected to AC voltage 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz with an appropriate plug. The socket should be provided with a clear designation (e.g.: JET2neo). After connecting to the mains power supply the initialization of the device will be carried out automatically. After this process the JET2neo is ready for operation. You will find further information regarding the initialization in the chapter Initialization of device! 5.3.2 Grounding (Potential equalization) Grounding (Potential equalization)! In case of a non existing grounding or that the grounding of the printer is not carried out properly, this could cause serious injury or death and it can also cause malfunctions or damages at the printer! These dangers or demolitions can happen for example because of electrostatic discharge (ESD) or potential difference. Specially for countries without existing protected earth connection, there is a special grounding point located at the side of the printer. This threaded socket must be connected to ground if there is no ground pin in the mains socket/plug. The threaded case is sealed inwards and thus IP 65 conform. With a screw and a ring terminal (cable lug) the grounding can be fixed easily.

Please note, that the grounding point (6) is hidden behind the round grounding-symbol-label (7) on the lower left hand side of the cabinet of the printer. Figure 6 Grounding schematic and grounding point Grounding schematic ground / earth 1 – Printer cabinet 4 – Grounding line 7 – Grounding symbol 2 – Installation (machine) 5 – Umbilical (label) 3 – Print head 6 – Grounding point (M6) Grounding instructions  A separate grounding line (min. cable cross-section 2.00 mm2) to the printer cabinet must be installed before the print head is mounted in the installation and before the printer is plugged to the power supply.  The connection must be carried with a solid bonding that corresponds with existing guidelines. Annotation: A suitable grounding cable is available optionally (accessories).  The installation (machine) and the printer must have the same potential/ground. 5 7 4 6 1 3 2 (earth)

JET2 neo The printer must be always be switched off and the mains plug must be always unplugged if you plug and/or unplug any connectors! 5.3.3 Explosion protection The device has to be integrated in the lightning protection concept of the operator! Further more protection measures regarding electrostatics have to be made! 5.3.4 Print head Inflammable (Risk of fire)! Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of ignition must be kept away from the print head and the device! Risk of injury! Ink escapes from the head aperture. Spraying of ink into the eyes can cause blindness. Eye protection is necessary! The print head should be mounted to the printed product that the notch in the head cover is placed vertical to the moving direction of the product. It can be installed horizontal, vertical, from the top or from the bottom. For installation from the bottom it has to be prevented that dirt can enter in the print head. For this a head ventilation is required which can be purchased optionally. The print head mounting should be carried out that a fast separation of the print head from the device for cleaning purposes is possible.

Figure 7 Print head installation (Example) 1 – Product 4 – Sensor 6 – Umbilical (Hose connection) 2 – Conveyor belt 5 – Print head 7 – Print head adapter 3 – Encoder (accessories) The print head should be attached vibration-free. The hose connection of the print head should not be smaller as a radius of R60 statistically and dynamically not below R100! The distance of the print head to the product depends on the required character height. As smaller the required character height, as smaller the distance of the print head to the product (smaller distances produce better type quality) Note: In general a distance of round about 8-10 mm is recommended. 1 3 5 4 2 = Conveying direction 6 7

JET2 neo Installation of print head During an installation of a device in a production line, the operating staff should be not endangered. Due to moving products under the print head danger of bruising and shearing can be caused. The regulations of the machinery directives should be observed! 5.4 Starting (Commissioning) For a safe transport some hydraulic components are supplied with transportation protection (cable ties) and the reservoir tanks are evacuated. The following steps have to be carried out before the initial operation  Remove the transportation protection (cable ties) (Step 1)  Fill the reservoir tank (Step 2)  Carry out the function (Step 3). 5.4.1 Remove transportation safety devices (Step 1) The pumps of the hydraulic system are secured with cable ties. These have to be absolutely removed. Proceeding:  Dismantle the back cover of the hydraulic cabinet (1) by loosing the fixing screws (2). Attention! The cable tie at the main filter (3) should not be removed!  Remove the transportation protection (cable ties).  Now attach the back cover of the hydraulic cabinet again with the according fixing screws.

JET2 neo 5.4.2 Fill reservoir tank (Step 2) To avoid damages of the device during the transportation the reservoir tanks should be evacuated and have to be filled before the initial operation. Caution – Danger of explosion! Before filling the device with the consumables, measures for the electrostatic discharge have to be made! The operator can carry out a discharge either by the direct touching of the JET2neo cabinet or by standing with the appropriate ESD-shoes on an grounded surface! Dangerous material in the machine! Danger of serious damage through burns, skin irriation and poisoning! Read the safety leaflets and the regulations on personal safety equipment! The two reservoir tanks are always unpressurized and can be opened in every device condition – also during the production. The reservoir tanks and the sealing cap are color-coded and labelled to avoid any mistakes in filling. Additionally the sealing caps are marked with the ink-no. or solvent-no. which are admissible for the device. For correct handling the LEIBINGER re-filling system allows an odor- and splash free refilling of the consumables. Inks and solvent made by Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG are identified by TAGs. The TAG is located below the label of each re-fill bottle. The LEIBINGER JET2neo is equipped with a TAG reader to read the TAG codes.

Proceeding: Inflammable (Risk of fire)! Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of ignition must be kept away from the device! Attention!  Before the filling process a static discharge has to be carried out necessarily! For this you have to touch the cabinet of the printer directly or you have to stand with ESD-shoes on an grounded surface before the filling or during the process!  The sealing of the refill bottle should be not opened! Now proceed absolutely according to the instructions in the chapter Execution of the Tag-activation and refilling (page 260) in the group Equipping/Maintenance. You will find supplementary information about the TAG-reader in the chapter TAG-reader (page 260).

JET2 neo 5.4.3 Carry out fill up routine (Step 3) After filling the consumables (ink and solvent) you have to carry out the fill up routine.

Group 6 Release R1.12 en JET2 neo 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. 1 3 6 4 1 3 2 5

Page 51 JET2 neo Release R1.12 en 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.

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.

The print job on the list has then to be exchanged against the revised print job. It is not possible to edit a job on the job list directly.  , and the option for printing have to be set within the single print jobs.  An empty address will be ignored. The last addressed print job will remain in the print storage.  The WYSIWYG preview of the main window always shows the print job that will be printed with the next signal (14). Example for external job selection The following print jobs shall be printed in a defined order: Order Print job 1. Joblist-Job-1 2. Joblist-Job-7 3. Joblist-Job-5 4. Joblist-Job-3 5. Joblist-Job-9 The print jobs are selected by binary addressing them at interface X4. With each PrintGo signal the currently selected print job will be printed.
