SPINJET 6200 is intended for use on the Designjet Z6200 and Z6100 HP large format printer models (referred to as the Printer) only. The instructions for installation and operation of both Printer and SPINJET 6200 must be followed. SPINJET 6200 is intended for permanent installation on the above-mentioned printer models. Normal single-sided printing is possible without removing or tilting down the SPINJET 6200.

- OPERATORS MANUAL

The system comprises two major assemblies: The Front Unit and the Control Box, the latter being located on the rear of the Printer. The basic functions of the system are: Receive a sheet, which is printed from the Roll by the Printer. Feed the sheet back into the Printer for reverse side printing. Manage the Media from the Roll while carrying out reverse side

printing. The following cartoon explains how this handling is taking place:

2. Tilting the Front Unit up and down Pay special attention to following points when tilting the Front Unit up and down:

Gently support the Front Unit when moving from lower to upper

position. Insufficient support may damage the Front Unit. Do not release the grip until the Front Unit rests against the

Printer in the upper position or when it is fully lowered. Stop tilting down the Front Unit when a resistance is felt. DO

NOT try to force it beyond this position, and DO NOT reach the position with any impact, as this may damage the SPINJET.

Please note:

Printing will be inhibited with the Front Unit in the lower position.

An Error 01 will occur if sending a print job and the Front Unit is in lower position. Please refer to Section 6. Troubleshooting.

Tilting up the Front Unit must only be done when the Printer is when ‘Ready’ is indicated on the Printer Control Panel. An Error 02 will occur if moving the Front unit to lower position during a print job. Please refer to Section 6. Troubleshooting.

Leave the Front Unit in upper position when the Printer carries out a calibration.

The Front Unit must be left in the upper position when unattended.

2.1 Mounting spacer blocks The Spacer Blocks must be used every time the Front Unit is dismounted.

Tilt down the Front Unit and hold the two Spacer Blocks in gap

between the upper and lower leg. DO NOT put fingers into gap between the upper and lower leg.

Gently tilt up the Front Unit so it rests against the Spacer Blocks. Make sure that the Front Unit rests firmly on the Spacer Blocks

The Spacer Blocks must be used every time the Front Unit is dismounted.

- OPERATORS MANUAL

Gently move the Front Unit to lower position. DO NOT try to force it beyond this position, and DO NOT reach the position with any impact, as this may damage the SPINJET. Place the Media Roll into the bearings of the roll attachment as illustrated on Figure 21.

Figure 21

Leave the SPINJET in lower position and load the Media following the standard procedure and instructions of the printer display. Be careful to carry out the alignment of the Media correctly (refer to the section ‘Load and unload Media’ in the Pocket Guide for further instructions on how to load Media).

When the Printer has completed the normal roll loading procedure, the Front Unit must be gently raised to the upright position. DO NOT release the grip of the Front Unit before it rests against the Printer, as this may damage the SPINJET.

3.2 Trim Waste Strips

Occasionally the Printer produces trim Waste Strips. E.g. when executing the command ‘Form feed & Cut’ or when a print is cancelled. Trim Waste Strips must be removed from the SPINJET immediately, as they may cause paper jam. Tilt down the Front Unit and remove the Trim Waste Strip from the SPINJET manually.

Insert into bearing

- OPERATORS MANUAL

4. Operation

Connect the SPINJET Control Box to a power outlet (see ‘Safety precautions’ on page 1). Switch the Control Box on with the rocker switch. A red light in the button indicates the Control Box is ‘on’. The normal, automatic SPINJET sequence upon power up is: Initialize followed by Standby. Switch the Printer on. The normal, automatic SPINJET sequence during initialization of Printer is: Initialize followed by Ready. If SPINJET does not enter Ready mode during initialization of Printer please refer to Section 4.1 Printer Set Up.

Please Note: Always turn on the SPINJET before the Printer.

4.1 Printer Set Up

Check that the Printer is set according to the requirements of the installation procedure. In particular, the following should be observed: Set up the Printer as follows: PRINTER SETUP / ACCESSORIES / DUPLEXER / YES

The SPINJET will perform following automatic SPINJET sequence when setting DUPLEXER from NO to YES: Initialize followed by Ready. Please note: Unload Roll media from Printer before setting DUPLEXER to YES.

Setting DUPLEXER to NO will disable all communication between

the Printer and the SPINJET and double sided printing is disabled.

4.2 Color calibration on the Printer

The Printer Color Calibration will not work when Duplexer is installed.

In order to calibrate color you must select “Uninstall Duplexer” in the “Paper menu / Accessories / Duplexer” menu When duplexer is uninstalled go to Setup Menu / Configuration / Color Calibration / Select “Calibrate Now” When calibration is finished; unload media Go to Paper menu / Accessories / Duplexer select “Install Duplexer” Reload media roll.

4.3 Operation Modes

The SPINJET has 7 operation modes indicated by the LED’s on the Keypad.

- OPERATORS MANUAL

Figure 22 – Keypad on SPINJET 6200.

Operation modes will be chosen automatically by the SPINJET for all normal use. Only in the case special functions are wanted, manual switching between the modes will be required.

1). Self Test (red ‘Standby’ LED flashing) A self-test can be carried out at any time by pressing the ‘Standby’ button for more than 2 seconds. Queued print jobs will not be cancelled. Once the self-test is complete and the SPINJET operates correctly it will change to ‘Standby’ mode. 2). Initialize (red ‘Standby’ LED flashing) The purpose of initialization is to ensure that the SPINJET is ready to receive a new single- or double-sided print or make sure that prints can run through the SPINJET if DUPLEXER has been set to NO. The SPINJET will initialize at these actions: The SPINJET is powered on.* A print is sent to the Printer. ** The Front Unit is tilted to upper position.* The ‘Standby’ button is pressed in ‘Ready’ mode.** Printer is turned on or off.*

DUPLEXER is set to YES or NO.

* At all times. ** Only when DUPLEXER has been set to YES (refer to Section “printer Set Up”).

3). Standby (red ‘Standby’ LED constantly on) ‘Standby’ mode indicates that the SPINJET is fully functional but it is unknown whether communication with the Printer is possible. SPINJET has most likely been restarted or reset after the printer has been turned on if the printer is set up according to Section ”Printer Set Up” and SPINJET is ‘Standby’. When a print job is sent to the Printer, the SPINJET will change to ‘Initialize’ mode followed by either ‘Single’ or ‘Double’ mode and then ‘Ready’ when print job is finished.

4). Ready (green ‘Ready’ LED constantly on) In the ‘Ready’ mode the SPINJET is ready to receive prints from the Printer. Before entering the ‘Ready’ mode the printer needs to communicate with the printer. This is done when setting DUPLEXER to YES (refer to Section “Printer Set Up”) or during Printer Power Up and Single/Double print jobs when DUPLEXER has been set to YES: 5). Double (green ‘Double’ LED constantly on) The SPINJET will change to the ‘Double’ mode when performing a double-sided print. DO NOT tilt down the Front Unit in this mode. 6). Single (green ‘Single’ LED constantly on) The SPINJET will change to the ‘Single’ mode when performing a single-sided print. DO NOT tilt down the Front Unit in this mode. 7). Info (yellow ‘Info’ LED flashing)

- OPERATORS MANUAL

Please check the Printer Display for any information or refer to section “Troubleshooting” for directions. Whenever the SPINJET is tilted down it will change to ‘Info’ mode immediately. Push button on SPINJET The ‘Standby’ button located on the SPINJET keypad has two functions:

Switch from ‘Ready’ to ‘Standby’ mode.

This is done by pressing the button for less than 2 seconds. (Function suppressed while printing.)

Reset.

Pressing the button for more than 2 seconds cancels printing on the reverse side.

When printing jobs according to the requirements listed in section “Job Requirements”, it will normally not be necessary to give any inputs to the Control Panel at all, as single- or double-sided printing is identified automatically by the system. Please Note: For normal, automatic operation it is important that the SPINJET Control Box is switched ON while the Printer is ON in order to monitor and react to the jobs flowing to the Printer.

5. Job Requirements

Two prerequisites have to be fulfilled in order to output a double-sided print on SPINJET 6200:

The files front- and back side must have identical

geometrical size. The files must be sent to the SPINJET from an application, RIP or

interface that supports the SPINJET. Possible methods available at present are listed below.

TechSage has a two-legged interface strategy:

User interface via the SPINFLOW interface Direct integration by the vendors of Prepress Workflow Systems

(RIPs).

5.1 SPINFLOW

SPINFLOW is the enhanced data interface between host Pre-Press Systems and the HP Designjet Z6200 and Z6100 Series range of large format colour printers hosting the SPINJET 6200. Please refer to the SPINFLOW manual.

5.2 OEM RIP integration

The SPINJET system has been integrated in several prepress workflow systems and more system providers are currently testing the integration of the SPINJET into their workflow system. Please ask you workflow system provider if the SPINJET is supported by their solutions.

6. Troubleshooting In case of any doubt regarding the general source (TechSage SPINJET system or HP Designjet system) of a problem encountered, do the following: Set DUPLEXER to NO (refer to Section 4.1 Printer Set Up), turn off the SPINJET and move it to lower position. Send jobs using single side, but otherwise similar to the trouble condition, to the Printer and check whether the problems persist. In the case the failure or damage is attributable to the HP Designjet Printer the contact is HP Support Organization.

- OPERATORS MANUAL

Should the failure or damage come from the SPINJET 6200, use the table below to identify possible causes and their remedies. If the outcome is ‘Call service’ or unidentified, the contact is TechSage or its reseller. In this case, reset the error message, if any, on the panel by keeping the power button pressed for more than two seconds. Turn the SPINJET off. Make sure that DUPLEXER has been set to NO on the Printer. Send jobs using single side, but otherwise similar to the trouble condition, to the printer and check whether it passes through the SPINJET and exits from its upper slot. If this can be done without the occurrence of a problem, the SPINJET should be left in this position for continued single sided printer use until service can be carried out.

In all other cases, leave the SPINJET Front Unit tilted down and turned off.

Please note: Setting DUPLEXER to NO will disable all communication between the Printer and the SPINJET and double sided printing is disabled.
