OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
This manual is for use in operating and maintaining the SINGLELINE Small
Character Ink Jet Printer.
WARNING: PRINTING INKS SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE.
ODo not allow ink onto the skin, or into the eyes or mouth.
OSome dried inks are highly inflammable. Clean up all ink spillage
immediately. Do not allow the ink to dry.
ODo not use the printer in wet or explosive environments.
For basic start-up and maintenance instructions, please refer to the Quick Start
Card.
The print station has been designed, tested and certified in accordance with
NEMA 4 and IP66 standards. For those users who require it, this means the
printer can be subjected to washdowns. However, opening the cabinet will void
both the ratings.
For sales, service and inks, please contact your local representative.

INTRODUCTION
The GENESIS SINGLELINE Small Character Ink Jet Printer consists of:
OThe print head
OThe print station
OThe universal controller
OThe bracketry and external connections.
The print head is a small square assembly which, when supplied with an
electrical pulse, ejects ink. Ink is supplied from an ink cartridge through tubing.
The print head is adjustable for proper ink control.
The print station is made of a plastic-based material and contains the electronics
and a control panel. The control panel is the top of the print station; it consists
of a small LCD and six touch activated keys. External connections are made
from the top of the print station.
The controller is universal to all GENESIS Small Character ink jet systems.
Communication between the print station and the controller is achieved by a
remote control, infra-red data transmission link.
The bracketry is supplied complete for mounting the print head, print station and
product sensor to your conveyor. The product sensor is a photoelectric device
that detects each item as it approaches the print head. The printer uses two fluids
in its operation:
OInk, for printing
OSolvent, for print head flushing and general cleaning purposes
