NOTATION form adopted in this manual

Section numbers below correspond to those provided in the INK JET PRINTER EBS-6000
USER'S MANUAL
Modifications introduced to the contents of a section are highlighted at the beginning of the section
with italics (the same font as in this sentence).

General Information
As different (two-headed, pigment-ink) printer types have been introduced, whose design and styling
resemble or are based on the EBS-6000 printer, the printer nomenclature has also been changed. Now
EBS-6000 is the name of a series of industrial ink-jet printers for non-contact labelling of various
objects moving before it on a belt conveyor, for example.
EBS-6002 is the name of a two-headed non-pigment-ink printer while EBS-6002P is the name
of a two-headed pigment-ink printer.

Print head status

In this section Fig. 2.3.4 and a description before it have been changed:
The print head runs properly when ink jet is properly broken into droplets, the droplets are
properly charged and the stream of redundant droplets falls into a gutter thereby ensuring that the
phase measurement signal is correct. Therefore vital performance parameters are permanently
measured within the print head. The parameters, composing the so called print-head status, are
displayed in the Printer Status window on the terminal display. The print-head status is updated
on an on-going basis and displayed in the form of a block of various characters, whose meaning
would be described further on.
For two-headed printers, the Printer Status window shows the full status of one head at a time
only. To choose which status to display, use the
The keys have the following meaning:

F1

F2

keys in the special function key pad.

When you press the F1 key once, status for print head No. 1 will be displayed; when you
press it again, status for two print heads will be displayed.

When you press the F2 key once, status for print head No. 2 will be displayed; when you
press it again, status for two print heads will be displayed..

!
NOTE:
The PRINT ON/OFF and INK ON/OFF keys on the external panel perform their
functions for the print head (or the print heads), whose status is shown on the display.
Thus, in order to use the PRINT ON/OFF key to start printing with print head No.2,
you should first press the F2 key to get the status for print head No.2 displayed in
the Printer Status window and then start the printing with the PRINT ON/OFF key.
If either the F1 key or the F2 key have been press twice to get the status
displayed for two heads, and if the PRINT ON/OFF (INK ON/OFF) key is pressed,
then the head status will change to the opposite one. For example, if print head No.1
is in the print state (see further on) while print head No.2 is in the stop state, and the
PRINT ON/OFF key is pressed, print head No.1 will stop printing while head No.2
will start printing.
A sample print-head status is given below.
