Shipping Considerations:
The ink supplies have been tested to the -40C to +60C storage range.
Ink supplies should only be used after slowly getting back to operating temperature.
Avoid causing any thermal shocks, such as dumping cartridges in hot water or microwaving the ink supplies.
Encoder / TOF Specifications
Encoder
Connector - M12 eurofast 8 pin
Input Voltage: 5.0V
Output Type: Line Driver
Quadrature encoder needs to represent 600 lines per inch (2400 quadrature counts per inch).
Recommended encoder:
EPC - TR1-U1R6-3600NV1QHV-K00
(included with CP1170 and TK1170)
TOF Sensor
Connector - M8 eurofast 4 pin
Input Voltage: 12V
Output Type: NPN
It is recommended that the sensor has a light on / dark on switch.
Included Sensor:
Banner Q3XTBLD-Q8
(included on AP1170, CP1170, TK1170, NF1170)
Please note that the 1170 printhead requires a very accurate 600 lines per inch - for best print quality a programmable encoder is recommended or ensuring that the encoder is placed as close to the printhead as possible on a flat area of the belt.
