LEC-300 irradiates UV light that has a harmful influence on the human

body. Looking at the UV light of LEC-300 may result in a serious eyeinjury such as "UV keratitis", "pterygium" or "cataract".

LEC-300 has been designed to be compliant with IEC60825-9 of the

international safety standard. And the safety against the UV light is

assured for users having the interlock feature that cuts off the UV light

when the front cover is opened. But the service engineers must be

extra careful about the safety, because some of the maintenance

operations need to be done under the condition where this safety

feature is disabled.

LEC-300 is a Print and Cut machine that performs printing using the UV ink.

The UV ink fired on the media is cured by UV light irradiated by the LED lamps

attached on the head carriage.

Need to have ink absorbing layer on the media The way water-based ink is firmly fixed on the media

1. Ink sinks into ink absorbing layer

2. Dry & leave the pigment on the ink absorbing layer

Able to print on media which does not have ink absorbinglayer

The way solvent ink is firmly fixed on the media

1. Melt the material (e.g. PVC) by solvent’s ingredient

2. Dry & the ink is firmly fixed on the material (e.g. PVC)

Able to print on virtually any materials

The way UV ink is firmly fixed on the media

1. Need to have UV Lamp

2. UV ink is changed from liquid to solid by UV lamp

- Very rapid curing. No drying time is required.

LED LampLED LampMetal Halide LampMetal Halide Lamp Metal Halide Lamp includes UV-A, UV-B,UV-C a lot.

UV LED LampThe UV light of LEC-300 is categorized as UV-A whose wavelength is less

harmful to the human body. But it can still give the eyes a serious influencesuch as "UV keratitis", "pterygium" or "cataract" if you see the light directly.

8/9/2019 LEC 300Updt17nov008

11/92

UV LED Lamp

No Heat Generation

No need for pre-heating or cooling down like Metal Halide lamp. The heat-labile media is usable.

It produces no ozone at all because ozone

can be generated under the wavelength of

250nm or below. Interlock feature for UV light

The machine automatically cuts off the UV

light when the front cover is opened for safety.

Never allow a user

to disable the

interlock feature!!

Life Expectancy is 10,000 hours.

It is when the machine is used under the condition of 20 degrees C. It can be less depending on the ambient temperature.

If the machine is used 8 hours/day, 20 days/month, 10,000 hours are

equivalent to 5.2 years.

The operating time of UV LED Lamp can be checked by referring to''Printing time'' in the history report.

8/9/2019 LEC 300Updt17nov008

White Ink

White inks settle down inside the tubing & damper like ESL3-WH.

It is required to shake the ink cartridges before starting the printing toprevent the ink settlement.

Periodic maintenance is required. If it is not performed, the settled

material may harden and it results in malfunction or other problems.

Characteristics

ECO-UV ink cures by UV light.

Since curing is different from drying, heater is not necessary. ECO-UV ink generates VOC when printing, but the generated VOC

does not contain any solvent component.

VOC is 1/7 of ECO-SOL MAX ink.

Cured ECO-UV ink does not generate any VOC.

Caution for Handling

Odor

ECO-UV ink has strong odor in liquid status and it may causediscomfort to some people, but cured ink is almost odorless.

Ventilation

Adequate ventilation is required for the work area.

Waste ink

Waste ink must be treated as industrial waste in accordance with localrequirements.

8/9/2019 LEC 300Updt17nov008

32/92

Caution for Handling

The gas volatilized from the ECO-UV ink may irritate the eyes, nose and

throat. Touching ECO-UV ink may cause skin irritation or inflammation.

It is recommended to wear gloves to avoid contact with ECO-UV ink,

but the cured UV ink is safe.

The face and neck are susceptible. Also, they

have risk of secondary infection by hand.

Once the ink gets into the nails, it is hard

to remove and the symptom may worsen.

Finger web is sensitive and susceptible. Abdomen and under arm are allergy prone area.

5 to 40 C degrees temperature, 20 to 80 % humidity (Up to 1 monthunder 35 to 40 C degrees temperature)

It is recommended that the ink is stored under 35 C degrees. Donot leave the cartridges under high temperature environment.

Precautions when using Take-up unit

It is very important to load the media as straight as possible

and give even tension across the width of the media to keeptaking up the media in good condition.

Stiff media is more likely to skew. The media should be loaded very

carefully.

Flexible media can be taken up in good condition more easily.

They should be removed when performing a cutting job.

When using the long media clamps, [LONG] should be selected in

Discharged Ink CountLEC-300 monitors the discharged ink amount and gives a message to

check the drain bottle when the bottle becomes close to being full.

Since the discharged ink amount is not monitored by a sensor but by

checking how much ink has been discharged into the Caps, it is necessary

to reset the count when disposing of the discharged ink. Otherwise, the

reminder message doesn’t appear at the appropriate timing.

Transport of the MachineTo transport the machine, it is necessary to remove all ink from the machine

by performing the HEAD WASH. However, the machine can be transported

without removing ink if the situation meets the following conditions. Temperature does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius during the transport.

The transport shock is weak.

It is possible to turn on the power again within 48 hours.

Please make sure to fill with ink within 1 week once your perform the

HEAD WASH. If not, cleaning liquid remaining inside the heads could

cause the printing problems, such as missing dots or diagonally-fired dots.

In the worst case, the heads will be broken.

How to reduce the risk of White & Gloss Hairline

Usage Environment

Do not place LEC-300 in any place where it will be subjected to

direct air of the air-conditioner. The hairlines are likely to appear in

less than 25 degrees C temperature.

Avoid using the silver film in case of Gloss ink printing.

Use the media other than the silver film which has matte surface.

Cleaning

Perform the normal cleaning. The hairlines will mostly disappear.

Use ‘’CustomCUT’’ feature of VersaWorks

Since the hairlines are likely to appear from around 500mm length,

use “CustomCUT” feature when printing lengthy data for production

use. The whole job is divided by the specified length and it allows

the machine to perform automatic light cleaning in the beginning of

every page.

How to set the media size

1. Select [CustomCUT]

2. Enter the value of length.

** The value should be set

less than 500 mm.

3. Enter the number of copy.
