1.2 Safety Information

Before operating this unit, read this manual thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS to prevent possible injury to personnel.

DANGER: Automatic packaging machine start-up after a printer reset! Install the printer Fault Output
Signal for manual packaging machine reset. Automatic start-up of a packaging machine could kill or
seriously maim an operator.

The printer installer is responsible for implementing the Fault Output Signal in a way that requires
the operator to manually restart the packing machine after a printer condition has been cleared. Any
deviation from this method is unsafe and is not approved by DIKAI or applicable regulatory
agencies.

The DK-1100A printer has an optional feature which enables it to stop or prevent packaging
machine operation when printer conditions prevent marking the packages. These conditions include,
but are not limit to, FAULT, WARMUP PERIOD and PRINT DISABLED STATUS. Some of these
printer conditions are cleared manually by the operator, and some are cleared automatically. In
either case, if the printer has not been properly connected, the packaging machine can begin
cycling when the condition is cleared. Failure to observe this may result in personal injury.

There are various ways for an installer to use the DIKAI printer Fault Output Signal to control a
packaging machine. Only someone familiar with the packaging machine can determine the best way
to signal it with an external device like the DIKAI printer. If doubt, consult the manufacturer of the
packaging machine.

WARNING: line voltages. Remove the power line cord AND the fault cable from the control box
before repairing the DK-1100A printer. Failure to do so can result in serious injury from an electrical
shock.

NOTICE: Failure to install the ground wire may result in random machine shutdown. Make sure to
install the ground wire to the control box.

IMPORTANT: Never connect or disconnect the cables to the DK-1100 A control box with the power
on. Damage to the electronics may occur.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the DK-1100A during the warm up period. It takes 15-20mins to
reach operating temperature.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT touch the Print Head during the heating status, it may result in injury.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the printer when any covers are taken off.

3.2 Relocation

3.2.1 Check the Home Position of Type Holder

In the initiate position, any one of grooves around the type holder is faced to the pressure roller, no
contact (as diagram 10). After getting the print signal, the type holder contacts pressure roller reliably (as
diagram 11), to complete one print. Failure to do so can result in the failed or missed prints (it can
relocate the pressure between rubber wheel and pressure roller to get the clear prints, refer to 3.2.2).

Diagram 10 Diagram 11
3.2.2 Relocating the Pressure between Pressure Roller and Rubber Wheel

As diagram 12, the pressure and parallelism between pressure roller and rubber wheel can be
relocated by adjusting the screws and the horizontal position of adjusting wedges. This relocation makes
the correct position between pressure roller and rubber wheel, to get legible prints. When relocating, the
operator can press the test button in the control box to make type holder rotate and check whether the
pressure and position is correct.

DK-1100A Ink Roll Coder Operation Manual

3.2.3 Relocating the Pressure between the Ink Roll and Types

IMPORTANT: Poor pressure between the ink roll and types can result in un-clear or missed prints.

1- Use the 6mm Allen wrench to take out the Allen screw in the body of print head.
2- Loose the inside M5 Allen screws.
3- Take the ink roll out, rotate the ink roll shaft manually to relocate the space between ink roll shaft and
ink roll (the ink roll shaft is eccentric).
4- Put in the ink roll to check whether the pressure is correct; if not, repeat step 3 & 4 till the pressure is
correct.
5- Tight the M5 Allen screw.
6- Reset the M8 Allen screw.

3.3 Change Date Numbers

1- Install the type on the pins of the type holder. Secure the type to the type holder pins with the
type stoppers. Two type styles are available, depending on which way the print is oriented on
the web- radial (for printing with the web), and axial (for printing across the web).
2- Align the type holder to the type holder shaft. Push the type holder into the print head and
turn until it seats into place.

3.4 Change the Hot Ink Roll

Follow the following instructions step by step:

1- Press an ink roll arbor into the ink roll.
2- Slide the ink roll arbor and ink roll on the inking shaft until it seats into place.

IMPORTANT: The PREHEATER is an optional part to preheat the ink roll and reduce the stand-by time
of the production line.

Print button Start or stop automatic print status

3.5.2 Print Mode

3.5.2.1 Automatic tracking mode

In Auto-track mode, printing position is adjusted by setting the percentage of delayed printing cycle, that
adjusting the percentage of the time of received two printing signals. The printing position could be the
same and accurate on the packages of the same packing length, even if the packing speed changes.

But the print of the first package is unable to be given the right order by the coder due to the failure of
coder's detecting the speed of packing machines. We integrated the domestic use of most of the
packaging machines and set a virtual speed (200 packs / min) in the program to control the printing
position of the first package. In this case, the printing position of the first package is not necessarily
correct.

When the packing speeds is less than 60 packages / minute, the interval time of received signals is over
1 second, then the state of packaging machine is default as downtime. When receiving another
printing signal, the coders print regarding it as the first package, with speed up to 200 packages / minute.
The range of printing position adjustment is 300ms only.

3.5.2.2 Fixed delay mode

In fixed delay mode, the printing position adjustment is controlled by adjusting printing delayed time. The
Maximum delayed time is 4995ms. Adjusting it when its printing rate reaches 12 packs / minute to 60
packages / minute ensures print on the packages anywhere. In fixed delayed mode, the printing
position will result in displacement accordingly as per different linear velocities. And the displacement
range of printing position each time will be different unless the speed of packing machine is stable.

The model applies to low-speed printing applications.

5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

5.1 Routine Maintenance

Make sure to clean ink accumulations from the type holder and heater block at least
once a week. Use only a rag and blunt, non-metallic, non-marking scraper to prevent
damage to the anodized aluminum surface. Ink buildup on the heater block will
insulate the ink roll from reaching the correct operating temperature.

Clean hot melt ink from the DK-1100A as follows:

1- Bring the print head up to operating temperature.

2- Remove the ink roll and type holder (wipe excess ink from the type holder and
brass types while they are hot).
3- Protect your hands from being burned, taking a clean rag and wipe as much ink
from the inside of the heater block as possible.

※ Do not use sc rewd rive rs , pliers or othe r tools to p ry types with ink
accumulations, which c ould do ha rm to type holder.
