Chapter 1 - Safety Operating Instructions

1.1 Brief Introduction

This chapter introduces the important safety information. Please read and understand the safety

information carefully before operating the printer.

1.2 Safety Information

FLORA printer uses the following chemical substances

•All kinds of printing media

•UV Ink

•Cleaning liquid (UV Flush)

1.2.1 Solvent and Ink Properties

•Solvent and Ink are flammable.

•Eye contact with the ink and solvent will break the cornea and weaken the eyesight.

•Contact lens should not be worn when operating printer or when there is no proper

ventilation.

•Wear safety glasses and gloves while flushing print heads, ink tube or moving the

ink bottles or containers.

•Solvent and ink can be irritating to eyes, throat and skin. Inhaling the ink fumes

would result in swoon or other symptoms.

•Solvent vapors are heavier than air and may flow and gather in low spot.

1.2.2 Danger of Fire and Explosion

1.2.3 Anti-ultraviolet radiation

1.2.4 Proper Ventilation and Exhaust System

This caution symbol represents danger. If this sign is ignored it

may lead to serious injury or damage to the printer.

Open flames, heat energy or spark around the printer can trigger fire and explosion.

•No smoking, pilot lights, open flames, stoves, heaters or halogen lights should

be turned on within 5m distance from any edge of the printer.

•No portable spark-producing equipment (static, electrical or Mechanical) within

5m distance from any edge of the printer.

•Wear UV protection glasses and gloves when operating the machine and

avoid being too closer to UV lights.

•When doing maintenance task or being close to the flatbed machine, U

lights must be shut off or close all UV protection doors.

•The vacuum exhaust system must be functioning before the printer operates.

•Do not ignore this safety warning sign to avoid accumulation of flammable

fumes in the area.

Victor Xu Page 9 12 Jan. 2011

1.2.5 Ink and solvent spillage, a potential risk of Fire and explosion

1.2.6 High voltage may shock people or trigger a fire

1.2.7 Printing media rolls are bulky and very heavy

1.3 Fireproofing

Ink and solvent should be clearly labeled and stored in a specific area for flammable liquid and

should be in accordance with local regulations of fireproof and safety standard. Ensure that the

specified fire extinguisher is always available near the storage area and should be cleared from any

obstacle in case of emergency.

1.4 Exhaust System

The printing area should be equipped with sufficient exhaust system. The exhaust should be

installed in such a way build up of fumes is minimized. Best location for the exhaust should be at lowest

level, this way the fumes build-up is minimized. Solvent fumes are heavier than air, so fumes build-up

concentrates on the lower level of the room.

1.5 Handling Precautions

1.5.1 Power Supply

1. Install the printer near an easily accessible electrical outlet.

2. Do not provide power to the printer through the same power line as for other noise

generating devices such as motors.

3. Use a power supply matched with the printer specification.

4. Connect the power cable directly to an electrical outlet. Do not plug several devices into

•Store ink and solvent in proper cabinet for flammable liquid storage.

•Keep ink and solvent containers tightly closed at all times. If a container

has sign of damage/leakage, fix or replace it immediately.

•Clean ink or solvent spillages as soon as possible.

•Only use dry powder, or carbon dioxide type of fire extinguishers.

•If there’s no emergency power switch which can shut down all the power,

do not connect the printer to main-power supply.

•When the machine’s power is on, do not open the back cover of machine,

or avoid touching electrical parts.

•The printer or other equipments should be grounded, according to the local

safety electrical connection regulation. The ground voltage should be less

than 3 V.

•Set the machine on smooth ceramic tile or cement ground

•Use specified anti-static floor mat to minimize harmful static build-up.

•Wear hand and foot safety protection gear when loading, unloading and

handling media to avoid serious body injuries.

•Use proper heavy duty handling equipment if available.

Electrical installations inside the printing area must be in accordance

with local Electrical Safety Regulation

Victor Xu Page 10 12 Jan. 2011

one electrical outlet.

come off or deteriorate. Wipe the cover with a soft cloth, if the cover is very dirty, use a

cloth moistened with a neutral detergent.

6. Do not touch the ink jet head surface.

1.6 Regular Inspection and Maintenance

The following regular inspection and maintenance must be performed in terms of characteristics

of the UV-curable ink:

1. Clean the carriage unit and the flat table conveyor surface every day.

2. Make sure that the carriage covers are always replaced.

3. Perform ink supply circuit and print head cleaning when leaving the printer for a long time (2

weeks or more with no power).

4. Perform head cleaning after leaving the printer idle for a long time.

5. Shut off the UV lamp whenever the printer is not in use.

1.7 Consumables

this instruction may cause poor printing quality and breakdown.

2. Do not use ink past the expiration date as this may cause a print head breakdown and poor

printing quality.

3. Put a used ink bottle into a plastic bag and dispose of it as an industrial waste. Observe local

regulations for disposal of waste ink bottles.

4. Avoid spilling ink into your skin or clothes. Wash any ink off immediately with soapy water.

5. Check the waste ink container everyday so as not to permit waste ink to leak from you printer.

6. If the waste ink container is being installed or removed, spread a stain preventing sheet so as
