Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the startup of a continuous ink jet (CIJ) printer. Employing the present invention allows the start-up process including powering up and taking a start-up cycle to be a one-step process, as opposed to the lengthy two-step system currently in use. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention it is also allowed to cycle off and de-energize as one step.

[0017] This article adopts the following definitions:

[0018] Standby: A state in which main power is applied to the printer, but the operating parts of the printer are not powered.

[0019] Power on: the power supply unit (PSU, Power Supply Unit) of the printer can provide corresponding direct current (dc) power to the printer components.

[0020] On: The printer is powered on, and in addition, all system components are enabled and ready to accept operating commands through the user / external interface. In this state, the printer is not read...

Abstract

The invention provides a power-up / shut-down facility for a continuous inkjet printer which enables the printer to be readied for printing, and returned to standby, by operation of a single control.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to Continuous Inkjet (CIJ, Continuous Inkjet) printers for industrial and / or commercial marking and coding. Background technique [0002] Industrial marking and coding equipment is a well known technology. Items carried on a moving production line are transferred through a station where they are tagged. One marking device is a CIJ printer. [0003] For a typical CIJ printer, toggle the power switch to turn on the machine. Once turned on, the machine operator typically accesses menus on the user interface and selects options to put the machine through a start-up procedure. The start-up procedure may include, for example, cleaning the printhead and establishing a steady jet. Before shutdown, the operator also needs to access the control menu, select and operate the shutdown cycle, and toggle the power-off switch after the cycle is completed. [0004] Both startup and shutdown operations require the presence and particip...
