text_image Plastic cover Cutouts for ramps
  1. Remove the plastic cover from the printing system.
  2. Remove the packing material from around the base of the printing system enclosure on the short side of the box next to the two cutouts in the pallet rim for the ramps.
  3. Remove the screws taped to the ramps.
  4. Secure the ramps to the pallet with the screws supplied. Use the pre-drilled holes on the pallet frame at each cutout.

  5. Unlock the printing system enclosure (cabinet) caster locks.

Caution: The following steps should be done by two persons. If you are alone, exercise additional caution.

  1. If two persons are available, tilt the cabinet slightly toward either of its long sides, and then pull any packing material under it out. If you are alone, cut away any packing material underneath the cabinet that blocks the casters

  2. Roll the cabinet down the ramp and onto the floor.

  3. Stop the cabinet when it is level with all four casters on the floor and lock the casters.

Hint: It is easier and safer to pull the cabinet down the ramp rather than to push it down. The printer weighs approximately 100 lbs (45 kg), and pulling the cabinet down allows you to guide and slow it as it moves down the ramps.

Caution: Do not let the cabinet roll free or tip more than 20 degrees as it moves down the ramps.

  1. Remove any packaging material from inside the cabinet.

  2. Remove the umbilical and printhead housing from inside the cabinet and coil the umbilical on top of the cabinet and nest the printhead housing within the coils.

Note: Leave the protective packaging on the printhead housing. This packaging should not be removed until you perform the printhead installation (see "Printheads").

  1. Roll the cabinet to where the printing system is to be installed.

  2. Continue with the printing system installation procedure (see "System Inventory").

System Inventory

Before starting to unpack the printing system enclosure, use the following procedure to inventory its contents.

Sort / Stop

If the printing system requires sort codes sent over the sort relay connector, a sort relay cable must be connected between the external device or an I/O box and the SORT / STOP connector on the printer back panel. Either of the following types of cable can be used:

- Cable, relay contacts:

The standard CABLE, RELAY CONTACTS (0178910) is 30.0 ft (9.14 m). This cable is part of FRU 0178938 which includes this procedure as instruction 0178939.

- C u s t o m :

A customer-supplied cable can be used for specialized applications. A custom cable can have wires only for the connector pins being used.

The following procedure describes how to connect the standard cable. For custom cable specifications, or additional information regarding the use of sort codes, contact technical support.

Use the following procedure to connect the relay contacts cable to the SORT / STOP connector:

  1. Select which side (half) of the split cable to use depending on type of contacts on the external device (see Table 3.2).

Chapter 4. System Installation

This chapter describes the following printing system installation procedures:

• Enclosure positioning
- Controller positioning
- System connections
- Installing software.

To ensure that you complete all steps of these procedures, complete the in "Printing System Checklist" in Appendix A.

Enclosure Positioning

Use the following procedure to position the system enclosure:

  1. Check that the umbilical is safely coiled inside the cabinet and that all packing material is clear of the casters. If the umbilical was uncoiled, coil it safely inside the cabinet (see Figure 4.1).

Figure 4.1 Cabinet, ready for positioning
KODAK Versamark DP5120 - Enclosure Positioning - 1

text_image Umbilical not coiled Casters
  1. Unlock the enclosure casters.

The casters should have been locked after removing the enclosure from its shipping pallet (see "Chapter 2. Removing System Packaging").

  1. Roll the cabinet by pushing the front (see Figure 4.2). The enclosure is easier to control if pushed and steered from the front because the front casters swivel, and the rear casters are fixed.

Figure 4.2 Enclosure ready for positioning
KODAK Versamark DP5120 - Enclosure Positioning - 2

text_image Enclosure front Casters, unlocked
  1. If possible, position the system enclosure where you have at least 3 feet (1m) of clearance in front and in back.

Note: Less clearance makes cabling the system difficult.

  1. Lock the casters.
  2. Route the umbilical.

Controller Positioning

Use the following procedure to position the controller components on top of the system enclosure:

  1. When the cabinet is properly positioned, check that the casters are locked to ensure that the cabinet does not roll while components are being placed on top of it.
  2. Check that all boxes were brought from the location where the shipping pallet was unpacked.
  3. Unpack the controller PC and place the processor chassis on top of the enclosure.
  4. Unpack the monitor and place it on top of the controller PC (see Figure 4.3).

Caution: Take all precautions recommended by the monitor manufacturer to protect the monitor from dust.

  1. Unpack the keyboard and place it on top of the enclosure. The keyboard skin can be installed, if desired.
  2. Unpack the mouse and mouse pad and place them on top of the enclosure.

• Domestic power cord, 13A, 125V (0100238-026)
• European power cord, 10A, 200-230V (0181015)
- Japanese power cord, 12A, 100V (0100238-017).

Apply the following guidelines when installing a power cord:

  • If installing a printing system in an environment that uses 50 Hz, 220 volts (or higher), use the European power cord.
  • On a DP5120 or DP5122 printer, check that the voltage selector switch is properly set.
  • On a Jetscape controller PC, set the voltage switch to 115V if the printer voltage is set to 100 or 120 volts. Set the PC to 240V if the printer voltage is set to 200, 220, 230, or 240 volts.

Check that the power cord option received is correct, and then connect it using the following procedure:

  1. Put the power strip line switch in the offline (O) position.
  2. Plug the female end of the cord into the main receptacle on the enclosure power strip (see Figure 4.5).
  3. Install the cable-tie strain relief as shown in Figure 4.5.
  4. Plug the male end of the power cord into the input power source receptacle.

  2. You can also run a test job from the Production screen, or press the [TEST PRINT] button on the printer operator panel.
  3. To stop printing, press [TEST PRINT] again.
  4. Check the test patterns.
  5. If test patterns print, check the print quality. If the print quality is acceptable, the system is operational, and the installation is complete. Continue with the installation report.
  6. If print quality is not acceptable, adjust the printhead phase and voltage (see "Printhead Adjustment"). If test patterns do not print, run full diagnostics starting with the printhead (see "Fluidics Tests" in Chapter 1, and "Diagnostics" of the Service Guide).

Printhead Adjustment

Use the procedures in this section to adjust the printhead if the print quality of the test patterns initially produced by the printer are not acceptable.

Note: Always print the first test patterns using the factory phase and voltage settings. Adjustments should be made only after print defects are observed in the test patterns.

Phase Adjustment

Phase adjustment defines the phase “window” that produces optimum print quality. The phase window is a range of voltage values. Use test patterns to check the changes in print quality produced by phase window adjustments. Use these adjustments to calculate the phase window that produces the best print quality.

Apply the following guidelines to phase adjustment:

  • A voltage setting that is out of the print window range can affect the phase window.
  • A phase setting that is near the edge of the phase window range can affect the print window.
  • Print speed may also affect the print window. Use 400 fpm (122 mpm) as the standard print speed for print window evaluation.

Use the following procedure to establish the phase window:

  1. Enter Diagnostics.
  2. Select Mode → Settings → Printer Setup.
  3. Check the printhead height, phase and voltage settings.
    a. Use typical settings to print test images, such as height 0.10 in, 15 phase and 140 volts for DP5120.

  4. Print test images.

  5. Examine the test patterns for defects.

a. If the test pattern is normal, go to step 7.
b. If missing spots or bands of print occur (Figure 6.1), go to step 6.

Figure 6.1 Missing spots or bands of print
KODAK Versamark DP5120 - Phase Adjustment - 1

natural_image Abstract pattern of black and white vertical stripes with no text or symbols
  1. Raise the phase setting and check each adjustment by printing test patterns. Stop when a you produce a test pattern with voids or dark defects (see Figure 6.1). Note this setting; it is the high end of the phase window.
  2. Raise the phase setting, and print a test pattern to check the effect of the adjustment. Continue this process until you produce a test pattern with no visible defects. Note this setting; it is the low end of the phase window.
  3. Determine the middle of the phase window by subtracting the low end value from the high end value.
    For example: 12 - 48 = -36.
  4. If the result is a negative number, subtract it from 56. The resulting value is the size of the phase window.
    For the example above: 56 - 36 = 20.
  5. Divide the phase window size by 2.
    For the example above: 20 ÷ 2 = 10 .
  6. Add this value to the low-end phase window setting.
    For the example above: 48 + 10 = 58 .
  7. If the resulting value exceeds 55, subtract it from the high-end setting.
    For the example above: 48 + 10 = 58 ; 12 - 10 = 2.
  8. Note the resulting value; it is the mid-range phase setting.
  9. Select Mode → Settings → Printer Setup and enter the mid-range value.
  10. Press APPLY to save this setting.

Adjusting Voltage

Use the following procedure to determine the print window and the mid-range value to be used as the voltage setting. This procedure assumes that you have printed test patterns that reveal print quality problems.

  1. In Diagnostics, select Mode → Settings → Printer Setup.

  2. Enter 165 for the printhead volts parameter.

  3. If the printer does not operate properly at 165 volts, reduce the volts setting incrementally until you find the highest setting at which the printer operates properly.

  4. Print a test pattern and examine it for defects.

  5. Beginning at 165 volts (or the setting determined in step 2), lower the voltage setting by 5 and check print quality.

  6. Continue lowering the voltage incrementally until you produce a test pattern with dark defects (see Figure 6.2). Note this setting; it is the low end of the print window.

Figure 6.2 Dark defect, defines low end of print window
KODAK Versamark DP5120 - Adjusting Voltage - 1

natural_image Abstract pattern of black and white vertical stripes with no text or symbols

TEST PATTERN

Caution: Operating the printer at voltages below the low-end setting of the print window causes increased dark defects. As the voltage drops further, streakers appear.

  1. Select Mode → Settings → Printer Setup and enter a value 10 volts above the low-end setting.
  2. Press APPLY to save this setting.
  3. Print another test pattern to verify the phase and voltage settings. If print quality is unsatisfactory, repeat both procedures.
