Safety Considerations

The Key Points

• The Fixation Unit gets very hot
• The Fixation Unit should not be left unattended during operation
• The Maintenance needs to be done with Silicon or Copper Grease, normal WD40 is flammable and will go on fire
• The Maintenance Door is VERY HEAVY, opening this door IS A TWO PERSON JOB
• Do not touch the drive shaft when it is loading the media bar in and out of the Fixation Unit
• There is a chance of burn when loading media over the media bar, this should only be done when the bar Fixation Unit is off
• The Charcoal Filtration Unit must be on during Fixation otherwise you will find a haze developing in the area of the Fixation Unit, this can lead to a build up on dirty ink on prints

Emergency Stop Points

Incase of emergency (material jam etc) there are two emergency stop points.  Switching the emergency stop will stop belt drive and the heaters.

This will allow removal of any jammed material and remove any fire risk.
