QUICK START

Inking System Assembly “A” away from Print Drum.

INSTALLING THE PRE-INKED ROLL

5 - Press the Inking System Assembly towards the Print Drum

and adjust the Position Adjusting Screw “F” until the
Knurled Drive Wheel “G” makes positive contact with the
Friction Bearer “H” on the Print Drum. When the Pivot
Arm Adjustment Knob “C” is tightened, the Knurled Drive
Wheel should only contact the Friction Bearer Ring with
enough pressure to drive positively when the print drum
is rotated.

Warning: Non-Porous inks contain flammable solvents. Do not smoke or handle these rolls in the
presence of sparks or open flames. Inks will also stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands.
Rubber gloves should be worn during the following procedures.

The ink roll you install on the coder must be properly pre-inked. If your coder was supplied with a dry XF
Neoprene ink roll, refer to the Maintenance Section page 27 for inking instructions.

Rollers that have been pre-inked at the factory are normally slightly oversaturated with ink to compensate for
potential solvent loss during shipping and storage. If you received a pre-inked ink roll with your coder, it is
important to examine the roll prior to installation. The ink roll should be thoroughly saturated with ink but not
dripping wet.
Excess ink can be easily removed by lightly rolling the ink roll across a clean piece of absorbent
paper.

1 - To install the pre-inked roll, first turn the Ink Roll Eccen-

tric Adjusting Knob “I” to the “MIN” position.

This moves the ink roller axle away from the Transfer Roll
and enables the ink roll to be installed without interference
with the Transfer Roll during reassembly of the inking sys-
tem.

This adjustment procedure also controls the Transfer Roll con-
tact with the printing dies. Excessive engagement pressure
should be avoided as this will cause unnecessary drag on the
print drum and result in smudged impressions.
