lect OPEN RIGHT COVER and press OK
button. Approximately after 20 seconds the T11236
ink cover is unlocked and slightly opened.

• Open the ink compartment cover by hand
fully.
• Remove each fluid cartridge from its pack-
age.
#
Do not touch the green IC chip on the
side of the ink cartridge. Doing so
may prevent normal operation and
CLICK
printing.
• Install the 2 x Liquid Dot and 3 x Mainte-

nance Fluid cartridges in the printer ac-
cording to the label on the inner side of the
ink cover as shown. Hold each cartridge T11237
with the green IC chip facing up and point-

ing to the rear of the printer, and then in-
sert it into its slot as far as it will go until it
clicks. Liquid Dot and Maintenance Fluid
cartridges can in principle be placed in any
slot. We recommend to place Liquid Dot in
slot 3 and 4 (PK and Y) and the Maintenance Fluid into slots 1,2 and 5. After ink has
been charged the cartridges should normally remain in their respective positions.
They can be moved in case of e.g. nozzle loss, please refer to the user manual for in-
structions on how to do this. The RIP is default setup to use ink channel Pk and Y, if
other channels are used then the PlateWriter device setup has to be changed accord-
ingly.
"
Small labels in the ink compartment cover can be moved to indicate which
slots currently has Liquid Dot and maintenance Fluid installed.
• After installing all 5 cartridges, close the ink compartment cover. The printer begins
charging and CHARGING INK flashes on LCD display. Follow the instructions on
the display.
$
Stay with the PlateWriter during the charging process. Charging takes about
10 minutes. Never turn off the printer, open the top cover, open the ink
cartridges cover or remove the maintenance tank while the CHARGING INK
is flashing on LCD display, or you may damage the printer.
When PAPER OUT, LOAD PAPER flashes on the LCD display, charging is complete.
Press the t button repeatedly until appears on LCD display instead of a roll.
$
Always turn off the printer using the power button. Then wait until the
LCD display turns off. This ensures that the print head is safely capped.

Printer adjustment and set up

The following items needs to be checked and adjusted during the installation of the
PlateWriter.
• Disabling of auto nozzle check

• Initial adjustment of print bed/print plane
• Print head initial height and print head protection adjustment
• Print head slant (CR)/bias adjustment
• Resetting bidirectional setting in printer

• Fine adjustment of print head height and tilt
• Front registration system adjustment

• Side registration system adjustment
• Adjustment of the printer feed

• Bidirectional fine tuning
Disabling of auto nozzle check

If the auto nozzle check is enabled, then the printer will try to detect if all nozzles are
working. Because the Liquid Dot ink is not consistently detected, then repeated cleans
will be performed and eventually result in an error message from the printer.
The auto nozzle check should be switched off in the printer by selecting:
PRINTER SETUP -> AUTO NOZZLE CHECK -> OFF.

Initial adjustment of print bed/print plane
General
The print bed has been setup from the factory and does not normally require any
adjustment. The print bed must be adjusted if it has been removed and reinstalled. It is
however recommended to do a basic verification on the adjustment during installation.
The print bed is adjusted in each of the four corners by means of the pointed
screws (1). The print bed is secured by the two retaining screws (2).
The height of the print bed in the input side is measured against the feed roller shaft
(4). The height of the print bed in the exit side is measured as the difference between
the height of the print bed at the input side compared to the output side.
Measuring input side height

The height is measured on the input side as shown in the picture. Note that the
backside of the caliper is resting against the print head carriage shaft (3).

Adjustment procedure
• Adjust one side at a time, left side or right side.
• Loosen the retaining screw (2).
• Adjust the two pointed screws (1). Turning clockwise will increase the print bed
height.
Turning counter clockwise will decrease the print bed height. Not that this may not
be measurable before the retaining screw is tightened.
• First adjust the input side height relative to the feed roller shaft (3).
• Then adjust the exit side by measuring the distance b and c and calculating the dif-
ference.
• Tighten the retaining screw (2). It is important to tighten gently (app. ½ turn after
screw head have contact with print bed), not to deform the print bed.
• Verify the measurements, as they may change slightly when the retaining screw is
tightened.
• Repeat the procedure for the other side.
Always verify both sides are correct after the adjustment has been finished.

The Printer
2-6
Print head initial height and print head protection adjustment

The initial adjustment of the print head height is done to ensure that the print head
will not touch the plate during printing.
The print head protection is a physical guard and a sensor that will help prevent that
dented or otherwise distorted plates will touch the print head during printing. The
guards are protecting the edges of the print head from contact with the plate. The
sensor will stop the printing and thus the movement of the print head if it touches the
plate during printing.
"
Carefully examine the plate before printing. It should be flat and without
dents. The print head protection will normally protect the head and stop
printing before any damage to the head occurs. However, it cannot be
guaranteed that all problematic plates will be detected.
Initial print head height adjustment

Resetting bidirectional setting in printer
General
The printer keeps a number of reference settings which are used in the timing of
ejecting the droplet when bidirectional printing is performed. The bidirectional
settings in the printer are closely related to the distance between the print head and the
printing plate. In other words the printer setting and the head height must match to
achieve best possible print quality.
The bidirectional settings used for the PlateWriter will be set to a fixed reference value.
This means that the match between timing and print head height can be adjusted by
changing the actual physical head height.
In this way the absolute print head height can be verified by printing a job in
bidirectional print mode. This eliminates the need to use feeler gauges to perform head
height adjustment.
The resetting of the bidirectional setting to this fixed value is normally performed from
the factory. It needs only to be done, one time for all, for the narrow head height and
one time for the standard head height.
The bidirectional settings in the printer can be changed only through an adjustment
procedure built into the printer. The procedure uses relative values from 1 to 7 to alter
the actual printer settings.
It may be necessary to repeat the procedure more than once if the deviation to the fixed
value is larger than one relative change can accommodate.
There are three main steps for checking and resetting the bidirectional setting in the
printer:
1. Print an “adjustment variables” status sheet from the printer. The sheet lists the
actual absolute bidirectional setting s in the printer.
2. Start the utility and key in the values as read from the sheet. The utility will calculate
a number of relative ‘adjustment’ values as a result.
3. Change the settings in the printer according to the results from the utility.

Print an “adjustment variables” status sheet from the printer
• Start printer in Serviceman Mode by pressing the while pressing u, q, and OK

button simultaneously.
• Load a sheet of paper at least the size of A3.
• Print “adj. variables” sheet from Serviceman Mode.
(MENU -> MECHA ADJUSTMENT -> PRINT ADJUSTMENT VARIABLE).
• Locate the section named Bi-d VSD4 (see picture below). The section contains num-
bers in hex notation, each representing a bidir setting for a specific nozzlerow. It is
not necessary to understand how hex numbers works, just use the alphanumeric as
if they were two letter words.
The 10 values in the PG 0.8 mm row correspond to the narrow head height.
The 10 values in the PG 1.2 mm row correspond to the standard head height.

The resetting has to done for both narrow and standard platen gap (head height).
The procedures are much the same but they have to be performed individually. Start
with the narrow platen gap.

Key in the 10 alphanumeric values as they are read from the adj. var. sheet.
Note the two last rows at the bottom of the utility called “Value to use in 1.

which are used to change the printer bidirectional settings. Disregard the “Value to
use in 2. adjustment” row for now.
If all of the values in the “Value to use in 1. adjustment” is 4, then the bidirectional
setting for the narrow platen gap is OK. Skip the rest of this procedure and proceed
with checking the standard platen gap.
If any of the values in the “Value to use in 1. adjustment” differ from 4, then the
bidirectional setting for the narrow platen gap has to be changed.

Changing the bidirectional settings in the printer

1. Power the printer on (User Mode).
2. Set platen gap (head height) to narrow,

MENU -> PRINTER SETUP -> PLATEN GAP -> NARROW.

Remember to set the platen gap (head height) back after adjustment has been
finished, or power printer off which will also reset platen gap (head height) to
standard.
3. Select MENU -> HEAD ALIGNMENT -> PAPER THICKNESS ->

SELECT THICKNESS -> 8 mil. (0.2 MM).
4. Select MENU -> HEAD ALIGNMENT -> ALIGNMENT -> MANUAL ->
BI-D ALL -> PRINT.
5. Load a sheet of paper at least the size of A4, portrait direction, into the printer.
(The printed sheet will not be used but is printed to gain access to the bidirectional
settings menu in the printer.)
6. If the loaded paper sheet is smaller than 407 mm, then the print will be split up.
When the first page finishes return to main menu using t key, then release the
page and load the second sheet.
7. When the pattern job finishes, the sheet will be released automatically and the bidir
setting menu is displayed in the printer display.
8. Tap the OK key, until reaching #3 C1.
"
Be careful not to tap too far, as it is not possible to tap backwards, you have to
start all over again.
9. Change the values for each of the 10 rows of #3 according to the listing in
the PW Bidir setting utility “Value to use in 1. Adjustment” by using qand p key.
10. When #4 C1 is reached just use the OK button to tap past these 10 last settings.
Now refer to the last row at the bottom of the utility called “Value to use in 2.
adjustment”.

The Printer
2-15
If all of the values in the “Value to use in 2. adjustment” is 4, then the bidirectional
setting for the narrow platen gap is OK. Skip the rest of this procedure and proceed
with checking the standard platen gap.
If any of the values in the “Value to use in 2. adjustment” differ from 4, then the
bidirectional setting for the narrow platen gap must be further changed. Repeat the
above procedure from item 5.
Verifying and changing the bidirectional settings for the standard platen gap
The procedure for the standard platen gap (head height) is almost identical to the
procedure for the narrow platen gap. The exceptions are:
1. Use the utility for the standard platen gap.
2. Set platen gap to standard, MENU -> PRINTER SETUP -> PLATEN GAP ->
STANDARD.
3. Select MENU -> HEAD ALIGNMENT -> PAPER THICKNESS ->

SELECT THICKNESS -> 12 mil. (0.3 MM).
Final verification for the bidirectional settings

If any changes have been made to the bidirectional settings for the narrow or standard
platen gap (head height), then perform the following final verification:
1. Print the “adj. variables” status sheet as previously explained, from Serviceman
Mode.
2. Key in the values for narrow platen gap (0.8 mm) in the utility and verify that all
values in the two lowest rows are 4. If not perform the procedure “Verifying and
changing the bidirectional settings for the narrow platen gap” again.
3. Key in the values for standard platen gap (1.2 mm) in the utility and verify that all
values in the two lowest rows are 4. If not perform the procedure “Verifying and
changing the bidirectional settings for the standard platen gap” again.

Fine adjustment of print head height and tilt
"
Make sure the print plane and print head height is adjusted as previously
described.
If there, at any time during this adjustment, is any doubt about print head
height becoming too low, use the adjustment plate to verify the height again.
The PlateWriter can be used with three different plate gauges: 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm and
0.30 mm. The printer moves the print head up or down prior to printing according to
the print head height setting in the job.
The head height can be either narrow or standard. Standard head height is approx. 0.4
mm higher than narrow.
The head height is set in the RIP PlateWriter device configuration. (See device
configuration in the Operating Manual).
The head height (and head angles, tilt and bias) can be adjusted mechanically. It is
important to understand that this adjustment will be common for both narrow and
standard head heights.
The print head height and head angles are adjusted by printing a special job. The
printed patterns are visually inspected and the mechanical adjustment done
accordingly.
The adjustment is done for one plate gauge only. The adjustment should be made
using the thickest plate gauge available. E. g. if both 0.15 and 0.30 mm plate is to be
used, then adjustment should be made using the 0.30 mm plate.
For 0.15 mm plate gauge use and adjust the narrow head height.
For 0.20 and 0.30 mm plate gauge use and adjust the standard head height.

The Printer
2-17
There are six print jobs available (“C:\GJ Tools\Raw Print\test jobs\bidir”) - only one
job is used for the adjustment:
• HeadHeigth-C1C2-Standard.prn
• HeadHeigth-C1C2-Narrow.prn
• HeadHeigth-M1M2-Standard.prn
• HeadHeigth-M1M2-Narrow.prn
• HeadHeigth-Y1Y2-Standard.prn
• HeadHeigth-Y1Y2-Narrow.prn
The jobs will print using the narrow or standard head height and they will use
different nozzle rows. It is recommended to use the outermost located nozzle rows
available. The listing is ordered having the jobs printing on the outermost rows first.
"
Take care not to push the print head carriage downwards towards the print
plane when adjusting. This can potentially make the print head touch the
print plane and damage it.
Head height and tilt adjustment

The job prints a number of identical blocks of patterns. Each pattern block indicates the
head height at the specific position. The double blocks (red frame) at the left margin is
used to adjust the head height in left and right side of head as well as head tilt.
The repeated blocks (green frames) across the printing media is used to indicate the
adjustment height of the printing plane.

If just one of the four corners does not have a straight line, then the head
height may be too low and touch the plate when printing. Use the adjustment
jig to verify and possibly adjust the head height again.

Examine the outermost lines and find the most straight line in each corner. Mark the
number in each corner. Remember to disregard the centerpart of the lines, only
examine the outermost parts, closest to the printed numbers.

The tilt can be seen as the difference between the upper number and the lower
number. Both sides can be used for this.
In this case the front (exit) side of the head is +4 higher than the rear side. This can be
seen in both sides of the head, the right side: -2 to +2 = +4, the left side 0 to +4 = +4.
If the head is too high at the front adjust the head tilt lever downwards.
If the head is low at the front adjust the head tilt lever upwards.

The general head height will be affected when the tilt is adjusted. This is
because the head is hinged at the back (input) side.
When the tilt is correct the numbers marked at the top should be identical to the
numbers marked at the bottom (but not necessarily from left to right).

Part 3: The Finisher
General
The Finisher is designed to cure and dry the Liquid Dot (LD) that is jetted onto the
iPlate by the imagine unit. It also applies iFinisher to cover and protect the iPlate. The
heating of the plate together with iFinisher application will ensure a clean background
of the iPlate when set on press.
When the iPlate is placed over the optic sensor in the front belts the belts will start to
move the plates into the oven. When the oven sensor is activated by the iPlate the
speed of the belt and temperature of the oven is regulated to get the correct
temperature on the plate.
The iFinisher pump will start recycling so that iFinisher is applied to the rubber rollers
via the PUR application roller.
The Finisher is also controlling the ink dryer inside/on top of the imaging unit. Plate
registration is also controlled from the Finisher if applicable.
Connection the FU to the RIP PC

Launching the RIP for the first time
First plug in the dongle.
If you do not plug in the dongle, the RIP will fail to launch with a "Super
" Pro, C Plus Activator dongle not plugged in or invalid" error.
• Locate the Navigator icon which was placed on your desktop by the installer.
• Double-click it to launch the RIP.

• When launching the RIP for the very first time, it will ask to select User Interface
Language.
• Select English (United States). This is the keyboard map for the keyboard supplied
with RIP workstation.
• When selected the User Interface Language, the RIP will advise that it will need to
restart.
"
If the German user interface is installed, it can be enabled here. Choose
German, click Enable, type the password and click OK.

RIP Installation
4-21
The RIP will advise that it will boot into chosen language next time.
• Click OK to continue and then restart the RIP.

• The very first time the RIP starts, it will automatically run a start-up configuration.
• The Navigator splash screen will appear, and behind it is the main screen.
The main screen is called the Throughput Window and it displays information
about the RIP, settings, jobs and the overall status.
• In the Throughput Window you will see how much memory the RIP has allocated,
the plug-ins installed, the RIP serial number and anything else that may be installed.
This can be useful information when troubleshooting (determining versions of
plug-ins etc).

RIP Installation
4-22
• Once the Splash screen has disappeared, the Output Controller/Monitor Window
will appear (if it does not, press Ctrl + O).
The Output Controller/Monitor Window shows jobs that are in the queue and jobs
that have already been printed. It can be toggled On and Off by pressing the Ctrl + O
keys. Any time you click in the background, it will disappear and you will need to
toggle Ctrl + O to make it reappear.
• In order to reduce the time it takes to set up and configure the RIP, we have preset
some settings in a file called GJ factory default. You will have to print this file.
• Click in the Navigator window to bring it to the front.
• Select Navigator -> Print File…

• In the Print File window navigate to the folder C:\Xitron\Navigator 8.3r1\Factory
default. Double-click the folder to open it.

• You will see text scroll down the Throughput Window.
Once it has finished, select Navigator -> Quit.
• Restart Navigator RIP.
"
Printing the GJ factory default file sets up the RIP’s Buffers, configures the
Memory requirements, installs some Calibrations, Tone Curves (dot gain
curves), and Page Setups for various printing press types. Also printing the
file will provide most users with all the settings they need to start using the
RIP immediately.
"
Once the RIP has restarted you will need to enter your unlock codes before
you can start using the RIP.
• Run file: C:\Xitron\Navigator 8.3r1\Utilities\migrate\SW_Migrate\Migrate.exe.

• Select old and new RIP and click 'Migrate'.

• Click 'OK'.
• Click 'Yes' and the transfer is completed.

RIP Installation
4-25
Configuring the RIP
"
After printing the GJ factory default file, all security unlock codes for the
plug-ins will be erased.
Therefore when launching the RIP after printing the file you get several error
messages. This is normal and is due to the RIP trying to activate the device for
which the codes have not been entered.
The next step in configuring the RIP is to check that the buffer and memory
settings have been configured correctly by the GJ factory default file, then to
enter the Security Unlock codes for your devices/plug-ins and to restart the
RIP one last time to activate the devices/plug-ins so that all the settings
become active.
• Select Navigator -> Configure RIP.
• This opens the Configure RIP dialog.
Set Page buffering to Multiple (Parallel).

Set Network buffer to 64.
Set Printer buffer to 40000.
Click on Options.

Part 5: Trouble shooting
General
If the iCtP system does not work properly, refer to the following pages to find the
paragraph that comes closest to your problem.
For cleaning and maintenance subjects see the iCtP system User's Manual.
The electrical diagrams are located in Appendix of this manual.
To change a fuse, switch off all power to the processor first.

" Always ensure that the new fuse is of the correct rating according to the
diagram.
Before starting troubleshooting
IMPORTANT
$
Plates and finisher solution are very sensitive materials and correct storage is
vital to obtain a satisfactory production result. Incorrect storage may very well
result in unsatisfactory processing quality etc.
Contact your local supplier for information about storage requirements for
plates and finisher solution. Before making adjustments of the equipment
make sure that incorrect storage of plates and finisher solution can be
excluded.

Trouble shooting
5-36
IF a nozzle test shows a drop out of nozzles in either one or several rows, it is
important first to establish the possible cause of the nozzle loss. It could be inflicted by
several situations such as:
Problem Possible cause for the error

Random nozzle loss Lack of cleaning or maintenance.
Pump Cap assy malfunction or wear.
Head crash Plate hit the head and damage the surface on
print head.
Nozzles Clogged Head left uncapped for several hours.
iCtP system not used for prolonged period, i.e.
months.
Pump Cap assy malfunction or wear.
Nozzles fluids starvation Stand still over night and weekend, normally
cured by a single clean.
Dampers in selector unit contaminated.
Upgrade from original formula Liquid Dot to
new High Density Liquid Dot with insignificant
cleaning procedure or use incorrect version of
Liquid Dot.
If any of the above cases marked is the
situation then a head replacement should
include a Selector Unit replacement.

Trouble shooting
5-37
Step What to do
1 Make a Nozzle check and see if all nozzles
are present and that the lines are not
broken.
Go to Menu->Test print->Nozzle
check->Print.
2 If one or more lines are broken, perform a
normal clean in pairs.
Go to Menu->Maintenance->Cleaning->
Clean color pairs->Y/PK->Execute.
3 Perform nozzle test again and evaluate the
result.
If improvement go to Step 4.
If no improvement by cleaning go to Step
9.
4 Continue the cleaning with the CL3 in
Serviceman mode. It saves fluids compared
to the power clean.
Go to Serviceman menu->Maintenance->
Cleaning->CL3->Y/PK->Execute.
5 Perform the nozzle test again and evaluate
the result.
6 If the reslut is ok as on the picture, then
the Printer is ready for setting jobs.
7 If the result is not ok, and still ''gaining''
lines jump back to Step 4 and perform CL3
again.
8 If no improvement by CL3 cleaning, go to
Step 9.
9 Dismount the Pump Cap assy.
10 Gently clean the rim of the print head with

the cleaning fluid and the cleaning stick.
11 Control print head for the surface damage.
If visual scratches on surface because of
the mechanical damages, change the print
head.
12 Mount the Pump Cap assy again.
Perform a CL1 clean from the Serviceman
menu and perform a Nozzle test.
If the result is not ok, continue to Step 13.

Trouble shooting
5-38
13 If the Pump Cap assy has been maintained

weekly, then jump to the Step 18.
If the Pump Cap assy has not been
maintained, then jump to the Step 14.
14 Make a weekly cleaning according to the
manual 10055648 current revision
chapters 3-5 or watch the maintenance
video.
Go to Serviceman menu->Maintenance->
Sequence->Ok.
15 Clean the Wiper with the cleaning stick.
16 Clean the Head Cap seal with the cleaning
stick.
17 After cleaning jump to the next step.
18 Test of the pump.

Take out the LD cassettes and weight the
cassettes.
19 Make the CL3 Clean -LD current channels,
then remove and weight the LD cassettes
again and each cassette should now have
lost at least 12-17 grams.
If less than 10 grams are consumed per
CL3 clean, then the ink head may be
clogged or the Pump Cap assy may be
malfunctioning.
If not, Pump Cap assy is likely not to be at
least working and need to be replaced.
Other possibilities can be bad
cassette/inside valve.
20 If above mentioned steps are done and
Nozzle test still not ok, continue to Step
21.

Trouble shooting
5-39
21 Perform Y/PK CL3 clean from the

Serviceman menu.
When the cleaning starts, turn the Head
Height Cam to Narrow mode (9 o'clock).
Caps are closer to the print head during the
cleaning process.
Perform a Nozzle test and evaluate the
result.
22 If still not ok:
Dismount the selector unit. Clean it with
the cleaning fluid dampers and clean the
connection pipe with the cleaning stick.
Mount the selector unit again.
23 Perform a Y/PK CL3 clean from the
Serviceman menu.
During the cleaning cycles head park,
squeeze the selector unit together with the
head as shown on the picture.
Only when it is pumping!
24 If above mentioned steps are done and a

Nozzle test is still not ok, continue to the
Step 25 for changing the rows in the print
head.
25 Make sure that the correct version of the

RIP (and Output Plug-in) is installed as on
the picture.
Change the print head row selection
according to the manual 10055648
current revison chapters 4-1 Using the RIP.

Trouble shooting
5-40
26 Change and weight the LD cassettes and

charge LD in the new selected channels
with a CL4 clean.
Weight LD cassettes again and each
cassette should now have lost at least
17-20 grams.
Perform a Nozzle test.
If no nozzles, perform another CL4
cleaning.
If the result is ok as on the picture, then
the Printer is ready for the job.
Here showed PK-Y, it could also be M-C,
MK-M, MK-C, etc.
If the result is not ok, and all steps are
done, then the Printer is defect and you
have to continue to Step 27.
27 Fill out the print head warranty claim form
from the DVD 10072489 current revision
and return the print head to G&J according
to the instructions in the form.
