Arizona 660 XT Overview Arizona 660XT Health & Safety Roll to Roll Operation Loading a Roll Loading the Roll to Roll Option Step 1: On the dashboard click roll to roll setup Step 2: Click Load, the feeder spool and the pickup spool with both rotate to the unlocked position. Step 3: Load your roll of media on to the pickup spool. The printable side of your media must be face down. Step 4: Using the Arizona Ruler position the roll into the middle of the machine to do this- match the size of the roll against the ruler. Step 5: Lock the roll in place using the media clamps. Step 6: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for your pickup roll, it is recommended that the width of this roll is the same as your media roll. Step 7: Using the Roll to Roll foot pedals press the right button to feed the media through the media slot at the top of the machine, remember to feed the roll underneath the tension bar. Step 8: Pull the media down under the light protector over your pickup spool and down so it is in line with your media spool. Pull the media tight and line it up so it will run square as printing. Step 9: Use the left foot pedal to rewind the media keeping tension in the middle of the roll, attach the media to the pickup spool using masking tape in the middle and then work your way out to the edges placing masking tape every 400mm to 500mm to keep the tension. Step 10: On the dashboard select the appropriate media profile then click the initialise. The media will then be tensioned and you will be able to print on the roll.Unloading a Roll Unloading the Roll to Roll Option Step 1: On the dashboard click Roll to Roll Setup. Step 2: Move the media forward onto the pickup roll to leave a little bit of extra cutting room. Click Load [not unload], the feeder spool and the pickup spool will both rotate to the unlocked position. Step 3: Cut the media at the top of the Roll to Roll module using the cut line. Step 4: Slide the pickup roll out of the machine at the right-hand side and manually roll the roll to pick up excess material. using masking tape wrap the excess around the roll. Place the spool back in place and use the media lock to unlock the clamps. You can now remove the roll. Step 5: To remove the media roll repeat step 4 for the media roll.Feed Rate Calibration Cleaning & Maintenance Printing a Nozzle Check Once the print heads are clean you can now print to check the print quality, we usually print nozzle checks on a roll. From the Arizona print station select to print on the roll, find the print nozzle check file, press print and start to begin. Once printed, you can check for any print issues from lines missing in the test print. Check the previous test print if possible to see any print heads that are commonly out, you may not be able to fix them.Cleaning the Printheads Why? The reason for cleaning the printheads is to remove any dust or grit the heads may pick up, which results in a poor print finish and potentially damaged printheads, which are expensive! The cleaning process: IMPORTANT Step 1:For personal safety, we recommend that the operator always wear nitrile gloves, a protectiveapron, and safety glasses with side shields when handling inks. Step 2: Open the printhead tray under the nozzles. Step 3: Press the first button on the right hand side to purge excess ink out of the heads. Step 4: Raise the print heads with button [2] in the middle to raise the carriage. Step 5: Clean the edge of the excess ink tray with a fibreless cloth and use a dry swab to pick up any excess ink from around the edge of the printhead opening in the pan (see the white line with arrows in the image below). Take special care to remove any excess ink, flush or alcohol on the metal plate between the pan and the printhead (see the area covered by the two ellipses in the picture below). A single swab can be used for each colour channel or use it until the swab becomes saturated with ink. Step 6: Press the third button away from you on the right-hand side to activate the vacuum. Use the head vacuum found on the left-hand side [make sure it's connected correctly] and clean it with the white fibreless cloth before use. Step 7: Gently slide the vacuum along the print heads from left to right, making sure you get the slots of the vacuum piece into the printhead grooves. [you can leave the white heads to last]. Once you get the right connection you will hear the suction from the vacuum. In between each head clean, wipe the vacuum cleaner with the white fibreless cloth. Step 8: Once all print heads are clean, you can turn off the vacuum and lower the print heads after use, then close the ink drip tray. Step 8: Remove your latex gloves using the correct removal procedure. Step 9: Assuming you have loaded basic paper on the roll. Go to the workstation to begin a print test. Press the button to turn on print to roll. Select the print test and begin print. Step 10: Wait for the heads to heat up and it will then begin the test print. Step 11: Checking the lines of the test print are correct there. Any missing lines could happen because of the heads not being cleaned properly or have always been missing, check previous test prints to check any patterns. Changing ink When to do: An ink bag can be replaced at any time. Ink bags should be replaced if:• The printer displays an "Error: ink fill timed out" message. This does not necessarily mean thatthe ink bag is empty, but if you see it, check the level of ink remaining and change the bag ifneeded. If you see the message and there is still ink in the bag, place a service call.• The operator sees that the bag is empty.• An ink bag is nearly empty and the operator wants to leave the printer unattended during along print and does not want the ink to run out. The nearly empty bag can be reconnected andused up later when the operator is present.NOTEAn ink bag can be changed during a print job. it is not necessary to stop the printer. Safety Information - Use appropriate safety equipment - nitrile gloves and eye protectors. Takeprecautions to avoid ink on your skin or in your eyes. Where do we stock the new ink?: You'll find our stock of ink bags in the wooden looking cabinet in the corner beside the door into the stock room. Where to find the ink bag input?: Procedure: 1. Open the clear plastic door on the Ink Station.2. Identify the ink bag to be replaced.3. Press the quick-release coupler button at the bottom corner of the ink bag.4. Unhook the bag from the top of the ink station.5. Replace with a new ink bag of the same colour.6. Push the quick-release coupler at the bottom corner of the new bag into place.NOTEIf you place a bag in the wrong ink station (for example, yellow ink in the black ink station) the display will show an error message and the printer will not print until the correct bag is installed.Flatbed Operation Loading Material Loading Material Select the material from the rack behind the Arizona (Other materials are found in the storage through the door). Wearing gloves (to stop any finger marks from appearing). Pull the board over your head if possible and place it on to the print bed. Masking Areas Masking areas of the vacuum holes are useful to keep the pressure of the vacuum on the board. We also use masking tape to help the board stay flat on the bed. If you only need to use a small section of the material, you can leave the film on partially. Simply score the film off of the section you'd like to print on. This helps keep your remaining section of material clean of any dust and marks.Vacuum Areas Introduction The overlay sheet on the printer table creates a vacuum field, which is divided into zones bymagnetic strips on the underside. When the printer is shipped, the vacuum zones are configuredto support common metric or imperial media sizes. The zones are installed at the factory,according to operator preference when the printer is ordered. The purpose of the vacuum zonesis to reduce the preprint setup time by reducing the need to mask the open area on the vacuumtable when printing on the most common-size media. The printer ships with a vacuum fieldconfigured to support either metric or imperial size media.For the Océ Arizona 600 Series GT vacuum control valve handles are used to manage thesezones. The printer has five control valves that determine the zones that are active when the tablevacuum pump is on. Zone 1 area is always active, and the five valves control zones 2 through 6.The vacuum zones are open when the valve handles are vertical. Purpose The vacuum system holds the media in place. The zones described in this section are arranged toaccommodate common media dimensions. Metric Vacuum Zones NOTE THIS IS FROM FACTORY AND OUR PRINTER IS DIFFERENT The following shows the locations and media dimensions associated with the factory-set metricvacuum zones. The name of the zone indicates which vacuum handle controls that zone (except 1as that zone is always on).• Vacuum zone 1 = 600 x 800 mm• Vacuum zone 2 = 700 x 1000 mm• Vacuum zone 3 = 800 x 1200 mm• Vacuum zone 4 = 1000 x 1400 mm• Vacuum zone 5 = 1000 x 2100mm• Vacuum zone 6 = 1250 x 2500mmThe metric configuration is designed such that zone 6 can be reconfigured by a servicerepresentative from the 2.5m x 1.25m area size to 4'x8'.Measuring the Head Height To measure the thickness of the material choose the guage from the shadow board. Take it to the material, and press ON. Twist the cog on top to loosen the gauge slider. Fit the material into the gauge and the screen will display the thickness in millimetres. Once you select to print a job, the pop-up screen will appear with the option to input your head height. Depending on the material, the normal height should be 0.5mm higher than the thickness of the material. The higher the head the print will have a lower quality of print finish. Printing a Nozzle Check To begin a nozzle check on the flat bed, pick your material and size (big enough for the test size 1100x110mm). Choose nozzle test on the top right of the screen. Choose the flatbed option on job parameters 'type' so it looks like below. Once your material is secure on the bed, hit print and start.Printing Rulers Operating Panel - General Usage Viewing Jobs When selecting a job in Active Jobs List (6) or Inactive jobs (8) it will display the artwork in the job Placement Preview (7) Viewing Print Layers Position Jobs To position a job- use the offsets panel on the right-hand side under the preview. Starting from the bottom left of the artwork you can select the horizontal and vertical offset. This is based on setting a board on the bed at 0x0mm based on the ruler position printed on the bed. Tip: Print your job closest to the print head in case of print issues you can save the rest of the board Creating Batch Jobs Sequential Collated Printing a Nozzle Check Select Nozzle Check at the top right of the page (5) This loads the pattern to print a nozzle check.
