3. Accident prevention

The following presentation shows the measures in the event of an accident with ink and
solvent with the danger marking,
 slightly ignitable
 irritates the eyes and the respiratory organs.

3.1 Storage and handling (normal use)

GENERAL These products must only used at points that are free from
open flames and other ignition sources. Do not use pressure for
emptying – the container is not a pressure vessel. Good
household practice and regular, safe removal of the waste
materials restrict the danger of self-ignition and other risks of
fire to a minimum. The product can charge statically. When
pouring from one container to another use a mass lead. The
workers must wear anti-static shoes and clothing and the floors
must be conductive.

STORAGE Observe the marking information. Store at 5 to 25°C in a

warm, well ventilated location at a safe distance from heat and
ignition sources and direct sunlight.

Do not smoke! Do not grant access to unauthorised persons.

Open containers must be properly closed and stored upright in
order to avoid leakage.

Smoking, eating and drinking must be forbidden in the storage

and working areas. Always keep in containers from the same
material as the delivery containers.

HANDLING The development of combustible or explosive vapour concen-

trations must be prevented and vapour concentrations avoided
that are above the threshold values of the employers liability
insurance association. Keep containers closed tightly.

Keep sources of heat and sparks as well as open flames well

away.

Use only spark-free tools. Electrical devices must be protected

in accordance with the corresponding standard.

Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale vapours
and spray mist.

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 3 Accident prevention Page 25

3.2 First aid measures

EYES Contact lenses must be removed. Rinse thoroughly with pure,

fresh water for at least 10 minutes, keep eyelids spread and
call a doctor.

SKIN Remove contaminated clothes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap

and water or with a branded skin cleansing agent. DO NOT use
solvents or thinners.

INHALING Take patient into the fresh air and keep warm and calm. In the
event of irregular breathing or of breath being missed
resuscitate artificially. Do not give anything orally, place
unconscious patients on their side and call a doctor.

MISCELLANEOUS In case of doubt or with persistent symptoms call a doctor.

Never give anything orally to unconscious patients.

3.3 Fire fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING Recommended: Alcohol-resistant foam, spray water/mist, CO2

AGENTS or powder

DO NOT use water jets. Cool closed containers exposed to the

fire with spray water.

RISK OF FIRE AND As the product contains combustible organic constituents, a

EXPLOSION thick, black smoke develops in the event of fire that contains
dangerous combustion products. Decomposition products can
constitute a danger to health. Extinguishing waste water must
not enter the waste water channels or waters.

PROTECTIVE If necessary suitable, independent breathing apparatus is

MEASURES required.

JET2 neo Release R1.10 en

Page 26 Accident prevention Group 3

3.4 Measures in the event of accidental release (spillage)

PRECAUTIONARY Switch off sources of ignition and ventilate room. Keep

MEASURES personnel that are not absolutely necessary away. Do not
inhale any vapour. Observe the protective measures listed.

ENVIRONMENTAL DO NOT allow to enter waste water channels or waters.

PROTECTION
MEASURES Should the product enter waste water channels or the drainage
system the local water supply authority must be informed
immediately. In the event of contamination of streams, rivers or
lakes inform the national water authorities. Vapour is heavier
than air and can spread out on the ground. In combination with
air it can form an explosive mixture.

RESTORATION Restrict and suck up spilled substances with a non-combustible

absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, infusorial
earth) and collect in a suitable container for removal. Preferably
clean areas with spilled substances with a detergent. Avoid

5.3 Installation

For adaption to the production line several works have to be carried out and operating
parameters have to be set before start of operation.

5.3.1 Mains supply

Mains supply!

The device does not have a mains switch and should be only
connected to an easy accessible socket close to the installation
location!

The LEIBINGER JET2 neo should be connected to AC voltage 100-240 V AC, 50-60
Hz with an appropriate plug. The socket should be provided with a clear designation
(e.g.: JET2 neo).

After connecting to the mains power supply the initialization of the device will be
carried out automatically. After this process the JET2 neo is ready for operation.

You will find further information regarding the initialization in the

chapter Initialization of device!

5.3.2 Grounding (Potential equalization)

Grounding (Potential equalization)!

In case of a non existing grounding or that the grounding of the

printer is not carried out properly, this could cause serious injury or
death and it can also cause malfunctions or damages at the printer!

These dangers or demolitions can happen for example because of

electrostatic discharge (ESD) or potential difference.

Specially for countries without existing protected earth connection, there is a

special grounding point located at the side of the printer.

This threaded socket must be connected to ground if there is no ground pin in the
mains socket/plug.

The threaded case is sealed inwards and thus IP 65 conform. With a screw and a
ring terminal (cable lug) the grounding can be fixed easily.

JET2 neo Release R1.10 en

5.3.3 Explosion protection

The device has to be integrated in the lightning protection concept of the operator!

Further more protection measures regarding electrostatics have to be made!

5.3.4 Print head

Inflammable (Risk of fire)!

Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of

ignition must be kept away from the print head and the device!

Risk of injury!

Ink escapes from the head aperture. Spraying of ink into the eyes
can cause blindness. Eye protection is necessary!

The print head should be mounted to the printed product that the notch in the head
cover is placed vertical to the moving direction of the product. It can be installed
horizontal, vertical, from the top or from the bottom.

For installation from the bottom it has to be prevented that dirt can enter in the
print head. For this a head ventilation is required which can be purchased optionally.

The print head mounting should be carried out that a fast separation of the print
head from the device for cleaning purposes is possible.

6. Operation

6.1 Construction/Structure of the device

The high-performance LEIBINGER JET2 neo is manufactured of a solid two parts

stainless steel cabinet. Due to the two parts construction you will get a thermal
separation between the hydraulic- and electronic section. The device consists of the
following main components.

Figure 12
Equipment configuration (General view)

5 4 1

3 3

1 – Electronic cabinet 4 – Reservoir tank „Solvent“

2 – TFT – Touch Display 5 – Reservoir tank „Ink“
3 – Hydraulic cabinet 6 – Print head with umbilical

In the closed electronic cabinet you will find the essential electronic components as
power supply, the TFT-Touch Display as well as the controller board.

The central arranged TFT-Touch Display describes the interactive interface for the
operator. This central entry medium with its 5.7” color display with backlight allows
clear, self-explaining operator guidance without additional keys and switches.

In the hydraulic cabinet you find all components which are required for the
transportation and preparation of ink as well as the two reservoir tanks for ink and
solvent. The unpressurized tanks can be refilled without interrupt procedure, odorless
and splash-free during the operation.

JET2 neo Release R1.10 en

Page 52 Operation – Elements and procedures Group 6

The print head contains all mechanical, electronic and hydraulic components which are
required for the creation of print out. It is connected with the hydraulic cabinet by a
flexible umbilical.

6.2 Functional principle

6.2.1 Method of working

The JET2 neo works in accordance with the continuous ink jet process. In this a
constant ink jet is emitted from a jet nozzle which is broken down into a series of
equal size drops under the influence of mechanical oscillations.

If required these drops are individually charged up electrostatically and deflected

into a constant electrical field depending on the charge. As a result not just one
point but rather a line of points can be applied contact-free with one jet. If the
product used is moved vertically to the drop deflection two-dimensional patterns
(characters) can be created.

The drops that are not required for a programmed inscription are not charged and
flow uninfluenced through the electrical deflection field into a gutter. In the gutter
the drops are sucked up by a suction pump and fed back into the ink tank.
Depending on the application alphanumeric data and graphics can be entered with
the TFT touch display.

Data for font and texts are stored in the device (even in the event
of power failure). If required it can be called up, altered or deleted
quickly and easily.

Further more, all jobs, fonts and graphics can be saved as a back-
up e.g. on a USB-stick.

6.2.2 Drop creation

During the drop creation the ink is pressed through a jet nozzle under pressure and
at the same time modulated in such a way by highly frequent sinus oscillations that
are imposed on the drop that it attaches itself to the nodal points of the oscillations
and breaks down into individual drops at a specific distance lA (please see the
following figure “Creation of a character”) from the jet. The oscillations are created
with an oscillatory system that is excited by a Piezo oscillator.

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 6 Operation – Elements and procedures Page 53

6.2.3 Drop charging

In order to be able to charge the drops it is necessary for the ink to have electrical
conductivity. This is possible through the use of specific salts that dissociate in the
solvent used. The drop brake-off point of the modulated jet is automatically set in
such a manner that this happens inside the charging electrode.

The drops can now be charged up by creation of voltage between jet and charging
electrode, because they are given a negative charge through the charge shift
resulting in the charge electrode gap. A specific charge voltage is clearly allocated
for each drop charge.

6.2.4 Drop deflection

After the drops have left the charging electrode they fly through an electrical field.
Here, those droplets that were previously charged in the charging electrode are
deflected. The drops that have not been charged fly straight ahead into the gutter.
Here they are sucked up and fed back to the circular flow of ink. The charged drops
are only deflected in one direction, the other direction is performed by the product
to be inscribed.

6.2.5 Creation of a character

Each character is defined by a two-dimensional matrix, e.g. 7 x 5. An ink drop can

be assigned to every point of intersection. The character is formed by deflecting the
ink drops in a vertical direction and by moving the product which is to be imprinted
horizontally. The ink drops which are not to be positioned are not given electrostatic
charges in the charging electrode, and pass through the electrical field without
being deflected and on into the gutter tube. The controller (CPU) of the printer
calculates the values which are required for the generation of charging voltages of
the single characters.

corner of the main window.

Attention
The indicators only show approximated values of the respective filling levels.
The level metering is calibrated during each refilling with the activation of the
respective TAG.
If the TAG is activated at a subsequent date, this will lead to an erroneous filling
level indicator. Such kind of deviation can be corrected with the next refilling
and TAG activation.

Attention
The filling level indicators are meant for your guidance.
Ink or solvent must not be refilled as long as there is no respective message
displayed!
There is a high risk of overfilling if the operator carries out a refilling before the
respective message box indicates a refill!
Please follow the related hazard notes in the instruction manual.

addressing is done in binary form through the digital inputs of connector X4. For
details about interface X4 please see chapter 5.5.4 Interface X4 (Inputs) and the
Appendix. With each <PrintGo> signal the currently addressed print job will be
printed. Up to 1023 print jobs can be listed in an <Extern Jobselect> list (8). Job
lists can be saved through the <Save> (10) or the <Save as> (11) button either

Basic rules for the job list type <Extern job selection>:
 Each print job is managed separately.
 Each print job needs a <PrintGo> signal to be printed.
 If a single print job of the <External Job> job list has to be edited, this has to
be carried out with the job editor. The print job on the list has then to be
exchanged against the revised print job. It is not possible to edit a job on the job
list directly.
 <PrintGo distance>, <PrintGo repetition> and the option for <endless>
printing have to be set within the single print jobs.
 An empty address will be ignored. The last addressed print job will remain in the
print storage.
 The WYSIWYG preview of the main window always shows the print job that will
be printed with the next <PrintGo> signal (14).

Example for external job selection

The following print jobs shall be printed in a defined order:
Order Print job
1. Joblist-Job-1
2. Joblist-Job-7
3. Joblist-Job-5
4. Joblist-Job-3
5. Joblist-Job-9

The print jobs are selected by binary addressing them at interface X4. With each
PrintGo signal the currently selected print job will be printed.

With the VNC server running (indicated in the main window) it is possible to access the
VNC server with a VNC client running on an external device like a desktop PC, a
notebook or a tablet computer. In order to establish a connection between a VNC client
and the VNC server of the JET2neo printer the following settings are required:
 The VNC server on the JET2neo printer must be started
 The IP address of the JET2neo printer has to be adjusted to the network the
VNC client is running on.
 For a successful connection the password set for the VNC server of the JET2neo
printer is required.

Group 7 Data entry/Programming Page 129

Example
1. Set the IP address and subnet mask of the JET2neo printer. All other settings in
the IP address dialog box are not relevant for the setup of VNC connection.
The settings depend on the network into which the printer has to be
implemented.
2. Connect a WiFi router to the JET2neo.
3. Please see the manual of the router for details about the settings. In this example
the router is set to the following IP-address: 192.168.1.1.
The VNC server of the JET2neo printer uses port 5900.
4. Connect the external device on which the VNC client software is installed either
by cable or WiFI to the router.
5. Start the VNC client on the external device and enter the required settings. The
required settings depend on the VNC client used. Please see the VNC client’s
manual for details. With the correct settings a connection to the JET2neo printer
can be established.
The display of the JET2neo will be mirrored on the VNC client software and the
printer can be operated from the external device.
6. It is possible to add more than one WIFI device like e.g. laptops, Android/Apple
tablets /phones to the WIFI net of the router in order to access the JET2neo
printer. Make sure that there is a VNC client like Real VNC, Ultra VNC (Windows
OS) or screens VNC (IOS) installed on the device. For Android devices you can
use bVNC or Real VNC.
7. You can also make a cable connection to the router. The number of cable
connections depends on the type of router used. Cable connections may be used
e.g. to connect a desktop PC.
In that case you have to make sure that the LAN adapter of the PC is set to the
correct address space!

2. Jet monitoring (Ink-Flow-Sensor active):

The ink jet monitoring provides highest operating reliability due to the additional
monitoring of the ink backflow. The full automatic monitoring turns off the ink jet
as soon as the ink backflow is interrupted. The nozzle seal will be closed
automatically and head impurities are therefore prevented.

By pressing the button <Ink-Flow-Sensor active> the jet monitoring is turned on

or off.

3. Ink on/off:

With the two buttons <Ink on > and <Ink off > the ink delivery to the nozzle is
turned on or off.

This function can be generated also „remote-controlled“ by an electronic contact

(see also the informations under the following point „Extern ink on/off“).

4. Extern ink on/off:

During cleaning works at the print head it can be helpful (e.g. in case of a long
umbilical) that the ink delivery can be turned on/off externally. The JET2 neo
requires impulses for the control.

This can be reached with a bridge between pin 9 and 14 and a switch contact
(pushbutton) at the pins 21 and 13 of the I/O-interface X4.

Example:

First impulse = switches off the ink delivery

Second impulse = switches on again the ink delivery

JET2 neo Release R1.10 en

Diagram/Plug assignment:

The signal which is pending at the interface is only analyzed by the JET2 neo if
the function <Extern Ink on/off active> is turned on.

5. Piezo test and charge test

Dangerous electrical voltage in the printhead!

Have measurements on live parts done by qualified

electricians only! This work may only be carried out
by approved personnel or Leibinger Service
technicians!

 Oscillator voltage setting: Output of a constant oscillator voltage which serves

for matching with the oscillating voltage amplifier (pot TRM 1). The result of
the setting can be read, in the form of a tear-off curve in the display field
<Drop-Break-Off curve> of the functional area „Printhead page 1“.
 Charge voltage setting: Output of a constant charge voltage for adjustment of
the charge voltage amplifier (offset TRM 2, gain TRM3).

The button <Piezo test> (1) serves to set the oscillator voltage and the button
<Charge test> (2) to set the charge voltage.

8.4.2 Contrast value

The setting determines the print contrast of the object. The value can be set
between 0 – 7.

To get a contrast increasing of the print out, you have to place several dots on top
of each other (on the same position).

Example 0= no contrast increasing (single print out)

1= 2 dots are placed on top of each other
2= 3 dots are placed on top of each other
…..
7= 8 dots are placed on top of each other

The set value is shown on the accordant display field.

Contrast

Display: normal with contrast

Attention! From the technical side the function <Contrast> can only
used for complete strokes (vertical dot line). This means that all
further strokes which are placed above or below the attribute setting
are also generated with the contrast additionally to the affected
object.

Example:
For a double-spaced font only the lower line is reserved with the
attribute „Contrast“. The elements of the first line which are placed
above the attribute setting will be also printed automatically with the
attribute “Contrast”.

8.4.4 Bold level (Bold text)

To write a printing text “bold” you have to determine a bold level. The level can be

To get a bold text several dots are placed parallel (multiplication of strokes).

Example 0= no bold text (single strokes)

1= 2 dots are placed parallel (2 strokes)
2= 3 dots are placed parallel (3 strokes)

8.4.5 ICG-value

The setting determines the distance between the several characters. As larger the
character distance has been selected, as more „Blank strokes“ are inserted between
the single characters. The value can be set between 0 – 7.

Example 0 = no distance between the characters

1 = 1 blank stroke is generated between the characters

8.5.1.4 Printing mode

With the pop-up window <Print mode > you can select the required printing mode.
9 printing modes are available.

That means in the LEIBINGER JET2 neo one operating mode is available for every
printing mode for a very high-quality or fast print out (see following list).

 High quality mode: Allows the best possible position of the single dots and
therefore the best possible print quality.
If the required speed cannot be reached in this HQ-mode, it
has to be changed to the fast mode.
 Fast mode: Allows a higher printing speed than the HQ-Mode whereby a good
print quality is still achieved.
If the required speed can no longer be reached in this mode, the
High speed mode must be switched to.
 High speed mode: The font output is not designed to the best possible font
quality but to the fastest possible print speed.

Figure 119
Printstyle parameter values (Print mode)

Attention! You always have to set a print mode which is larger than
the selected matrix, otherwise incomplete imprints can be caused.

An error between the selected printing mode and the selected

matrix can be identified in the display field <Print image> of the
job editor.

High speed changes require the drop flying time compensation to prevent deviations
of the text positions. Condition is the setting of a higher print delay because the
drop charging has to start earlier for higher speed.

This function is only necessary if the printing is carried out at very slow but also
very fast processing speeds; that means if the speed differences are very high.

parameters, as well as externally by a sensor (e.g. light barrier, product sensor etc.).

This sensor is called as Print-Go source.

PrintGo-monitoring:
If the function is activated it is monitored if every Print-Go signal can be

Example:
A PrintGo is generated and is printed. The next PrintGo is generated; if the printing
process is not finished yet, an error message is generated on the display.

StrokeGo-monitoring:
If the function is activated, the stroke output is monitored, that means if the
StrokeGo-signal is generated faster than the printer can output the several strokes,
an error message is also generated.

8.5.2.2.5 MeterGo-Function

The Meter Go function is a special function for printing length specifications on cables,
pipes etc. The function results from several parameter settings.
With these settings one can ensure that the meter counter carries on counting even if
there are no printouts. The counter works independent from the printout as long as
there are encoder signals.
External encoder signals are required for the position and speed measuring. In addition
there should be an external PrintGo signal provided in exactly the same distance as the
required printout of the length specifications (e.g. after each meter).

It is not recommended to use the Meter-Go function with the internal PrintGo signal!

To use the internal PrintGo signal you would have to specify the cable speed. Even the
smallest deviation would sum up with each printout and this would lead to a significant
deviation between the printed length specifications and the current length of the cable.

Assumptions and pre settings for this example:
- The JET2neo printer is used for continuously printing on a cable emerging from a
cable extruder device.
- The cable extruder mustn’t stop even if the printout fails.
- After a print interruption, the printout should continue with the correct meter
number.

For this application, an encoder is used for speed measuring and position detection.
The printout is carried out each meter and shows the current number of meters.
Additionally a length measuring system has to provide a PrintGo signal after each meter.
These settings for the so called “meter counter” are shown in
Picture 5.

Example MeterGo function – Continuation

Picture 7 – Example function diagram

After 32 meters, the printout stops for e.g. print head cleaning. Nevertheless, the
JET2neo is still receiving PrintGo signals. Because of the <Counter Increment> setting
“with PrintGo”
(see picture 3) these signals can be used to keep the counter updated.
Therefore, the counter always has the current meter number no matter whether there
are printouts or not. So, it is possible to resume with the correct meter number after the
work on the print head.

8.5.3 Encoder parameter

The LEIBINGER JET2 neo composes the printed lines of single dots and therefore it
requires a signal encoder (encoder) which transfers when the single dot lines (so
called strokes) should be printed

Explanation: A stroke is a complete dot line

Example:
in vertical direction (dot height).

This encoder is also called StrokeGo-source. The required signal can be generated
internally as well as externally.

In the functional area <Encoder> you can carry out the basic settings of the signal
encoder.

The following settings can be carried out depending on the encoder signal source:

 Selection of encoder signal source  Resolution

 Rotating direction  Internal speed
 Lock backward on/off  Sensor Distance X5.5 to X5.4

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 8 Job editor Page 207

8.5.3.1 Encoder source (StrokeGo-source)

With this setting you can define the encoder source.

 Intern: If this function is activated, the signal is generated by the printer and
needs no external encoder device.

Additionally you have to enter the <Internal speed (intern Speed)> (3).

Attention! You should only work with an internal encoder source if

the product is always directed at the print head with a fix defined
and constant speed. For unsteady production speeds a distortion of
the print image can be caused.
You will find further information regarding this topic in the chapter
Internal speed (page 208)!

 Extern: If this function is activated the signal has to be generated by an external

encoder (e.g. incremental encoder). The encoder has to be connected to the
interface X1 of the LEIBINGER JET2 neo.

Additionally you have to define the <Encoder direction> (4) and the
<Resolution> (5).

2 – Inputfield <Sensor Distance X5.5 to X5.4>

8.5.3.2 Internal speed

If you work with the internal encoder source, the production speed, that means the
speed which you need to convey the product below the print head, has to be
determined exactly.

This value can be entered directly in the display field <Intern speed>. The input
happens in the unit m/min.

Attention! Unsteady production speeds can be not identified which

causes a distortion of the print image!

If the production speed is higher as the set value, the font will be
stretched! If the production speed is lower as the set value, the font
will be compressed.

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 8 Job editor Page 209

8.5.3.3 Rotating direction (Encoder direction)

With the setting you can select the rotating direction of the encoder.

 Rotating direction right (clockwise): If this control box is activated, the encoder
has to turn right for printing.
 Rotating direction left (counter clockwise): If this control box is activated the
encoder has to turn left for printing.
 Rotating direction both: If this control box is activated it is printed if the encoder
turns left or right.

Note: Encoder signals are only analyzed for correct set rotating direction.

8.5.3.4 Resolution

The setting determines the encoder resolution that means it defines how many
impulses are generated by the encoder per set measurement. The input happens in
the unit Pulse/mm.

The set value is shown on the accordant display field.

Example: An encoder which generates 10.000 impulses/rotation with a friction

wheel and which has a circumference of 200 mm is used.

Calculation: Resolution= Impulses/Rotation: Circumference

= 10.000: 200 = 50 (Pulses/mm)

Page 210 Job editor Group 8

8.5.3.5 Return stop (Lock backward)

With the control box <lock backward> (6) the function „lock backward movement
of the encoder“ is activated or deactivated.

For activated “lock backward” the strokes which are generated for a possible
backward motion will be included for following forward motion to control the
correct start of the text output.

That means the print will be only continued if the correct printing position has been
reached. Therefore you will get a print without any gaps or overlaps.

8.5.3.6 Speed measuring with two sensors

As an alternative to the use of an external encoder or a constant internal speed there is

a third option available:
The current production speed can be measured based on the signals from two sensors
connected to interface X5:
- Sensor 1 has to be connected to X5.5 (PrintGo Gate input) and
- Sensor 2 to X5.4 (PrintGo input).

With this setup PNP-sensors are required for both inputs.

Description of the functionality
 The two sensors have to be mounted on the production line in a way that they can
be activated by the products passing by. For this the two sensors have to be
mounted on the same height (1) and at a certain distance from each other (2).
 As higher the production (line) speed as larger should be the sensor distance.
 The maximum distance allowed is 250 mm (3).
 The distance between the two sensors has to be smaller than the distance between
two products (4).
 As a rule of thumb there must be never more than one product between the 2
sensors! (5)
 The actual distance has to be measured and entered in the corresponding input field
(6).
This input field is located on the tab <Encoder> in the dialogbox <Print

<Encoder> tab <Sensor Distance>

With a product, passing the first sensor (sensor 1) the speed measurement starts (7).
The measurement is stopped as soon as the product passes the second sensor (8)
(sensor 2). This second sensor (8) works also as the <PrintGo> sensor and controls
the start of the printout.

It is mandatory that sensor 1 (start sensor for speed measuring) is always mounted
before sensor 2 (stop sensor for speed measuring and PrintGo sensor).

The production speed is calculated from the time measured and the distance entered.
Working with short distances it may happen that right after the start of the production
line there are no values of the measured speed available. For this case, the internal
speed set (9) is taken as default.

8.6.6 Extern text

With the <Extern Text> object it is possible to use external text files as a data
source for the print-out. There are two options for using the external data:

1. A fixed length character string shall be transferred via an Ethernet

connection. For this requirement you can use the function <Extern Text>.
2. Data shall be transferred via an Ethernet connection as tab separated values.
With each transfer command one record will be transferred. This function is
called <Mailing>.
Requirements <Extern Text>
 You have to set the interface parameters in the interface dialog box.
 To use the <Extern Text> function you will have to create an extern text
object. The parameters for the object are set in the <Extern Text> dialog
box. For an <Extern Text> object you will have to define the number and
the characters for the <wildcards> and an optional <Offset>.
The data is transferred via the Ethernet interface.

INFORMATION

Please see chapter 7.2.3.2.1 Set connection type and port for further
details about the interfaces.

The data can be transferred with any terminal software e.g. like Hyperteminal.

You have to make sure that the parameters in the terminal software correspond
with the parameter set for the JET2neo.

Shoot & Print

Alternatively the data can be sent with a bar code scanner connected to the
Ethernet interface. The data is coded as bar code, read with a bar code scanner
and finally sent to the printer through the Ethernet interface. Working with this
method avoids errors by wrong data input.
For this option a bar code scanner with an Ethernet interface is required!
A bar code scanner with a USB interface (HID device) cannot be used in
combination with the <Extern Text for serial interface>.
Interface settings
With the JET2neo interface setting <Extern Text Ethernet> the JET2neo printer
does not expect any control characters. Each character sent will be interpreted as
data. This will also be true for control characters like <line feed>, <form feed>
or <carriage return>.

Requirements <Mailing>

 For the <Mailing> function you will have to set the parameters for the
external data source.
 To use the <Mailing> function you will have to create an <Extern Text>
object. The parameters for the object are set in the <Extern Text> dialog
box. You can define which field of a data set should be assigned to the
object and you can set <Wildcards> for this field.

INFORMATION
The JET2neo printer also offers the possibility of controlling print job
selection and print out using s special script language. Data and
commands can be sent by Ethernet interface using a terminal
software.
Shoot & Print
Data and commands can also be coded as bar codes and transferred
with a bar code scanner connected to serial interface to the JET2neo
printer.
For this option a bar code scanner with Ethernet interface is required!
A bar code scanner with a USB interface (HID device) cannot be used
in combination with the script language.

The dialog box for the interface settings can be accessed from the main window of
the printer:
<Main menu> - <Interface settings> (1).
The dialog box for the interface settings (2) offers two <Connection types> (3).
Ethernet
After the connection type <Extern Text Ethernet> (4) is selected you can set the
<Port> number (5) for the connection.
With this type of connection selected the printer can be controlled either by the
interface protocol respective the script language or by a bar code scanner with
Ethernet interface. Details about these options can be found in the documentation
of the script language and the Shoot&Print function.
Extern Text Ethernet
After the connection type <Extern Text Ethernet> (6) is selected you can set the
<Port> number (7) for the connection.
With this type of connection the printer expects pure data. Transferred commands
would also be interpreted as data! The data transmission can be done, for instance,
with a terminal software.
The plus/minus buttons to the right of the display field (9) can be used in order to
set the <Port> number (8). Alternatively a click in the display field will open a
numeric keypad for inputs (10).
You can save all settings and close the dialog box with the <OK> button (11).
The <Cancel> button (12) will discard all changes and close the dialog box
without saving. If you use the Ethernet interface you will have to make sure that
the IP-address settings of the printer are correct.
For this you will have to open the respective dialog box from the main window of
the printer:

<Main menu>-<Basic Settings>-<IP-Address> (13)

The tab shows the current settings (14). You will have to make sure that the IP
addresses of the printer and of the device used for the connection (e.g. Notebook)
are within the same logical address space respective within the same network.

On the tab <Extern Text> (7) you can choose the type of the extern text from a
drop-down list (8). The following description refers to the option <Extern Text>
(9). The <Mailing> option (10) is described separately.
The type <Extern Text: fixed length>offers several options:
 Settings for double prints (11)
 Settings for wildcards (12)
 Settings for an offset (13)
Wildcards
There is an indicator which shows the current number of wildcards (14) and a
display field for inputs (15). When you place the Cursor in the display field a
keyboard (17) respectively a numeric keypad (16) will open for inputs. Changing
the number and kind of the wildcard character will be immediately shown by the
indicator (15). In the job editor the defined <Wildcards> are shown as content of
the <Extern text> object (16).
Wildcards for an <Extern Text> object have two functions:
1. The characters of the wildcards represent the first character string to be
displayed and printed. They will then be replaced by the first received data.
2. Wildcards define the number of characters to be considered.
Character offset
With the character offset (13) you can define how many characters from the left
side of the received character string will be ignored. You can set the character
offset either with the arrow keys of the display field (13) or with a numeric keypad
(16) displayed when placing the cursor in the display field.

8.6.6.1.3 Extern Text: Print out/Deleting the input buffer

There can be up to 32 <Extern Text> objects within a print job. For each object
you can define the number of wildcards and the offset separately.

But nevertheless all <Extern Text> objects within a print job will process the
same received character string. It is just a matter of the wildcard and the offset
settings which part of the received character string is used by the
<Extern Text: Fixed length> object.

The received serial data are stored in an input buffer. The size of this buffer is
defined the <Extern Text> object that have the largest sum from wildcards and
offset.

If you like to use more than one <Extern Text> object in a print job it is
mandatory that the transferred string is always of the same length.
Example print-out:
This example is based on a print job with three <Extern Text> objects.
Each object has different settings for wildcards and offset (abbreviated: OS).
The character string 12ab345 shall be transmitted. The settings for each
<Extern Text> object look as follows:

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 8 Job editor Page 245

Object 1:
1 wildcard
Wildcards: X
0 offset
Offset: 0

Sum of wildcards and offset: 1

Object 2:
2 wildcard
Wildcards: YY
1 offset
Offset: 1

Sum of wildcards and offset: 3

Object 3:
3 wildcard
Wildcards: ZZZ
3 offset
Offset: 3

Sum of wildcards and offset: 6

The input buffer in this example has the length of 6 characters because the largest
sum of wildcards and offset is 6.

Beside the input buffer there is also a display buffer. The content of the display
buffer is what you see in the print preview of the main window of the JET2neo
printer.

There are three rules regarding the input and the display buffer:
1. The input buffer has to be completely filled before its content is transferred
to the display buffer.
2. The print-out always reflects the content of the display buffer (what you see
is what you get printed).
3. The input buffer is emptied as soon as its content is transferred to the
display buffer.
The current display buffer will be printed with each PrintGo signal received unless
you have selected the <Check Double Prints> option.

With the <Check Double Prints> option activated you will receive an error
message when a PrintGo signal occurs before a new character string was received.
So it is granted that each character string is only printed once.

The following tables show the data transmission, the buffer content and the print-
out. It also shows how the settings for the <wildcards> and the <offset> affect
the displayed characters and therefor the print-out.
The external data can be sent with any terminal software like e.g. Hyperterminal.
You have to make sure that the serial interface parameters of the terminal software
correspond with the parameters of the JET2neo interface.
Deleting the input buffer
The current content of the input buffer can be deleted at any time. For this you can
use the respective option in the <Main menu>:
<Main menu>-<Extras>-<Delete ExternText memory>

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 8 Job editor Page 247

After the input buffer was deleted it has

to be filled up again completely with
data. Only then the data will be
transferred to the display buffer in order
to be printed.

to the display buffer.
14 The input buffer is emptied after the transfer in the last step. This
state can also be set with the <Deleting ExternText

8.6.6.1 Mailing

The mailing function allows using ExternText objects as placeholders for external
data. These data have to be provided through the Ethernet interface of the printer
using the commands of the JET2neo interface protocol and the JET2neo script
language.
Basic mode of operation (please see Figure 147) :
The interface has to be set to <Ethernet> (1) (please see chapter 8.6.6.1.1 Extern
Text: Interface settings).
After an ExternText object is created (please see chapter 8.6.6.1.2 Extern Text:
Object settings and properties) the settings of the object are specified in the dialog
box for the <Object settings> (2) on the <Extern Text> tab (3). The object
type <Mailing> (4) is selected and a data field is assigned to the object (5). The
settings for <Wildcards> and the <Wildcard> characters are entered the same
way as for the ExternText object (6). The number of the <Wildcards> define the
number of the characters of the data field set which shall be printed. There can be
defined several ExternText objects and they can be assigned to different data fields
(7).

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 8 Job editor Page 249

Example:
There are three ExternText objects created and each object was assigned to a
different data field. Additionally for each object a different number of <Wildcards>
was defined (7, 8 und 9). As long as there are no data received the <Wildcards>
are displayed and printed (11).
The command for the data records transmission looks as follows:
^0=MR0 123 123456 12345 0x0D
MR stands for Mail Record and the 0 indicates the record number. There follow
three data fields separated by tabulators. The command is executed with a
<Return> command (0x0D Hexadecimal = 0D conforms to the ASCII character
13 in decimal code).
For the transmission a terminal software can be used (10).
Important
The transmission of external data for the Mailing function of the JET2neo
is described in separately available documentation.
Using the Mailing function it is strongly recommended working on the
basis of the respective documentation.

After the data was transferred they were displayed from the three Mailing objects
(12). Which of the transferred data are actually displayed depends on the
configuration of the <Wildcards>.
In this example the second data field has the value 123456. For the Mailing object
assigned to the second data field only 4 <Wildcards> were defined. For this from
this data field only the first 4 characters (1234) will be taken over. The data
content of the other two fields conforms to the number of <Wildcards> assigned
to the respective Mailing objects. Therefore all data of the fields will be displayed in
from the assigned Mailing objects.

Caution – Danger of explosion!

Before filling the device with the consumables, measures for the electrostatic discharge
have to be made!

The operator can carry out a discharge either by the direct touching of the LJ2 NEO-
cabinet or by standing with the appropriate ESD-shoes on an grounded surface!

Dangerous material in the machine!

Danger of serious damage through burns, skin irriation and poisoning! Read the safety
leaflets and the regulations on personal safety equipment!

10.1.1 Re-filling process and TAG-reader

10.1.1.1 General

The two reservoir tanks are always unpressurized and can be opened in every
device condition – also during the production.

The reservoir tanks and the sealing cap are color-coded and labelled to avoid any
mistakes in filling. Additionally the sealing caps are marked with the ink-no. or
solvent-no. which are admissible for the device.

For correct handling the LEIBINGER re-filling system allows an odor- and splash free
refilling of the consumables.

Inks and solvent made by Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG are identified by TAGs.
The TAG is located below the label of each re-fill bottle (see also afterimage). The
printer is equipped with a TAG reader to read the TAG codes.

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

Group 10 Equipping/Maintenance Page 261

10.1.1.2 TAG-reader

The TAG-reader of the Leibinger JET2neo printer is a guarantee for the faultless
function from side of ink and solvent.

Because of the TAG-reader the printer only allows only the usage of the set up ink
and solvent from LEIBINGER. So we can make sure that only released ink and
solvent is used.

If the printer is refilled with ink or solvent so the printer will ask for the so called
TAG-activation. If this activation is not be carried out the printer will shut down und
do not allow any operation. That’s why there is no production able anymore. Every
TAG can only be activated once.

10.1.1.3 Execution of the TAG-activation and refilling

The reservoir tanks should be not overfilled!

The refilling of the reservoir tanks must only be carried out if the
printer gives a message that the reservoir tank is empty!

Is one of the reservoir tanks empty the printer gives you a refilling message on the
touch display.

JET2 neo Release R1.10 en

Page 262 Equipping/Maintenance Group 10

When you ignore this message the printer will shut down after the time indicated.

Hints
 The shown examples are placed like the reservoir tanks in the
printer: ink on the left side, solvent on the right side.
 In the pictures shown ink and solvent numbers are just examples
and can be different for every printer!

1. Refilling messages for an empty ink and solvent reservoir tank.

Ink Solvent

1 – Remaining term until safety shut down in hh:mm:ss

The maximum remaining term for ink is 1 hour and for solvent 3 hours. After this
term the printer shuts down automatically and is put into standby mode. This shall
prevent ingress of air into the hydraulic system caused by the lack of ink or solvent.
Although it is possible to restart the printer from this mode it will be shut down
again if no refill is carried out.

2. Firstly it has to be ensured that only compatible ink or solvent is used for refills.
The ID-number of the ink respective the solvent that can be used for refills are
printed on the respective cap of the reservoir tank and they are also listed in the
<Info> dialog box of the printer.

3. To prove that you really have the right ink or solvent place the full and not
opened bottle in with the (risk) label right in front of the TAG-reader. You will
find it on the right side of the printer housing.

The scanned information will be shown on the touch display.

4. If you placed a bottle with the wrong ink or solvent you are not allowed to fill up
the reservoir tank with this bottle! The printer displays one of the following
messages.

5. As already mentioned you can activate a TAG only once. So it may happen that
an already activated bottle is placed in front of the TAG-reader. When your bottle
was already activated you are not allowed to fill up the reservoir tank! The printer
will display one of the following messages:

6. If you place a compatible and not activated bottle in front of the TAG-reader you
have to activate the ink or solvent before refilling. If you place a compatible not
activated bottle in front of the TAG reader the printer will display one of the
following messages:

Release R1.10 en JET2 neo

7. During the activation process the bottle has to be kept permanently in front of
the TAG reader! The readability is indicated by symbols located in the upper right
corner of the dialog box.

readable

TAG was not recognized

and was not read

8. If the activation was successful the following dialog boxes will be displayed:

Successfully activated ink Successfully activated solvent

Attention
In case a TAG is removed from the TAG reader during the activation
process an error message may be displayed:
Ink TAG activation not successful: Solvent TAG activation not
successful:

It is possible that a TAG may be damaged by a failed activation and

therefore it is not recognized by the TAG reader anymore.
In that case please contact your LEIBINGER dealer.

9. If the ink or solvent type is compatible and the bottle was successfully activated
the filling can be carried out as described in the following steps.

Inflammable (Risk of fire)!

Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of

ignition must be kept away from the device!

Attention!
 Before the filling process a static discharge has to be carried
out necessarily! For this you have to touch the cabinet of the
printer directly or you have to stand with ESD-shoes on an
grounded surface before the filling or during the process!
 The sealing of the refill bottle should be not opened!

Now open the red cap of the ink or solvent bottle but do not pull of or damage
the seal!

10. Fill up ink or solvent depending on the shown refilling message.

ATTENTION!
The ink reservoir tank is placed on the left side the solvent reservoir tank is
placed on the right side!

Screw on the still sealed re-fill bottle on the corresponding reservoir tank.
Because of this the seal of the bottle will be breached and the closing valve of
the tank will open automatically and the reservoir tank is filled up.

Do not remove the re-filling bottle until it is complete empty. When the printer
gives you a refilling message the reservoir tank is empty so that a complete
bottle can be filled in.
Twist off the empty re-filling bottle. The closing valve of the corresponding
reservoir tank will be closed automatically. Finally screw up the cap of the
reservoir tank as well as the empty refill bottle carefully.
Attention
Important hints!
 Do not dispose the empty bottles before you have activated the ink or
the solvent!
 After filling the reservoir tanks as well as the empty refill bottles, they
have to be closed carefully again.
 You have absolutely to fill in the complete bottle because the bottle will
be devaluated and can be not activated anymore!
11. When you refilled the reservoir tanks without the activation of an ink or a
solvent after a little while one or both of the following message will be
displayed. One is requested to carry out the TAG-activation of the refilled ink or
solvent afterwards.

12. Now you can carry out the TAG activation as described in points 3. to 9.

Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of ignition

must be kept away from the print head and the device!

Dangerous material in the machine!

Read the safety leaflets and the regulations on personal safety

equipment!

Risk of injury!

Ink escapes from the head aperture. Spraying of ink into the eyes can
cause blindness. Eye protection is necessary!

10.2.1 Daily servicing work

The daily servicing work includes the checking of the print head and in particular of
the deflector unit, the charging electrode as well as of the guides for dirt. If
necessary the components must be cleaned as described in the chapter Cleaning.

10.3 Cleaning

10.3.1 Cleaning the print head

Dangerous electrical voltage!

Contact causes serious damage through an electric shock! Disconnect

the device from the mains supply prior to opening. Remove mains
plug!

Inflammable (Risk of fire)!

Combustible gases and liquids cause serious burns. Sources of ignition

must be kept away from the print head and the device!

Risk of injury!

Ink escapes from the head aperture. Spraying of ink into the eyes can
cause blindness. Eye protection is necessary!

Risk of injury!

Upon contact the contents causes skin irritation. Protective equipment

is necessary!

The print head must be checked daily and cleaned in the event of recognisable dirt
through penetrating dust or ink. In this respect high release of solvent vapours
should be avoided through the economical use of Leibinger solvent (corresponding
to the Leibinger ink). This is achieved through applying the Leibinger solvent to fluff-
free paper with the spray bottle and wiping off the parts to be cleaned with this.
Direct spraying off of the print head with solvent should only be carried out with
very major dirt and should be limited to the front part of the print head. Following
intensive cleaning the nozzle seal must be lubricated with a commercially available
oil (spindle and guide). Oil must not get into the gutter (back absorption)! Solvent
dropping down must be collected using a solvent resistant metal vessel and
disposed of properly.

This work must only be carried out by trained personnel or by

Leibinger service technicians!

11. Taking out of operation/Dismantling

11.1 Taking out of operation

The ink and solvent which still remains in the high performance printer have to be
removed. For this a special draining routine is available.

You will find further information regarding the procedure of draining in the
chapter Special functions under the point Drain routine! (page159)

Dangerous material in the machine!

Read the safety leaflets and the regulations on personal safety equipment!

Now the high performance printer has to be turned off and disconnected from the mains
supply. Further more you have to disconnect possible connected additional devices. You
will find the capabilities of connecting lateral at the electronic-cabinet of the device. You
have to follow the instructions of the several devices!

Finally you have to clean the device of dirt, ink rests etc. as described in the chapter
Cleaning.

11.2 Dismantling/Disposal

The LEIBINGER JET2 neo has been developed and built with materials that ensure
problem-free dismantling and disposal. When dismantling, the information in the chapter
Taking out of operation as well as the respective country specific disposal regulations
(e.g. for inks and solvents) must be taken into consideration

12.2 Connection examples of the interfaces

The wiring examples which are described in the following are only for support. Other
combinations, actuators, sensors and switching elements are of course possible and
cannot be described completely here.

For the connection please pay attention to the specifications which are described for the
plug assignment!

12.2.1 Interface X3 (Outputs)

The described examples are possible at all 4 outputs.

Inputs:
Is used when an printer-output is connected to an input of a external logic (e.g.
PLC). Due to the high resistance of the low level signal of the output driver, a
20kOhm Pull-down resistor is recommended.
The resistor can be dropped if the following input wiring has already an accordant
low input resistance.

LED's:
LED can be connected by a series resistance. (as in the example for a LED with UF
= 2V and I nominal = 20mA)

Inductive Loads:
For the usage of inductive loads (relay, motors etc.) a parallel-diode is provided to
avoid a turning-off peak.

Lamps or Resistors:
Lamps or other resistor loads can be directly connected to the output, but the sum
of the output loads should not be higher than 700 mA (in sum of all outputs
together).
