Page 29: Safety Control System (Scs)
Safety Control System (SCS) Introduction The Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series printers are equipped with a Category 3, Performance Level 'd' Safety Control System (SCS) to protect the operator and any other personnel when working with the machine. The printer is equipped with Emergency Stop Buttons, several Interlock Switches and an Automation Interface for auxiliary equipment (handling the printer output material).
Page 30 Safety Control System (SCS) Beacon Light Status A green beacon light, located on the carriage, indicates to the operator the status of the Safety Control System and the printer. Beacon off indicates the printer can be approached without caution. The machine cannot initiate movement since the Safety Control System has disabled all motion and hazardous hardware.
Page 31: Safety Awareness
This section contains two sets of principles that must be followed to assure maximum safety when operating your Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series printer. The first set uses negative examples to show you things to avoid in order to prevent injury to the operator. The second set of principles illustrates some of the residual risks that are inherent in the operation of the printer.

Page 48 Safety Awareness Residual Safety Risks Your Arizona printer is engineered to minimize machine components and operating procedures that may compromise operator safety. However, in order to maintain some machine operations and functionality, certain compromises are required. The following table documents some of these residual hazards.
Page 49 Safety Awareness Residual Risk Area Hazard WARNING High Risk crush/Pinch Hazard A high risk crushing/pinch hazard is cre- ated by the table and the gantry. Gantry Z-Axis motion can cause injury if body parts become trapped. The Emergency Stops and the Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion.

Page 90: Media Registration
Media Registration Media Registration Introduction Media can be registered on the table using the built-in registration pins and the table rulers. The registration pins can be linked to the vacuum switch or activated manually by the operator to allow quick registration of the media to the printer origin. The rulers are printed on the table and provide a horizontal and vertical rule that originate from the 0,0 print origin point on the table.
Page 91 Media Registration The media registration pins behaviors include: • Off • Independent of vacuum (manual) • Linked to vacuum, Zone A only (both groups - vertical and horizontal); • Linked to vacuum, Zone B only (both groups - vertical and horizontal); •...
Page 92 Media Registration Registration Pin Error Handling Three Levels of Safety: 1. Before any gantry motion begins, the printer software retracts all registration pins. 2. Each of 4 pin groups has a “safety zone”. When the moving gentry enters any of these zones, all pins from the appropriate group retract to provide safe gantry passage.
Page 93: Static Suppression System Reduces Static
The Static Suppression System (sometimes referred to as an Anti-static or Ionizer Bar) is located on the gantry of your Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series printer. If you are experiencing static- related imaging problems this anti-static bar provides a solution to reduce static. Some rigid media can have a large static surface charge.

Page 96: High Flow Table Vacuum Controls
High Flow Table Vacuum Controls High Flow Table Vacuum Controls Introduction Your printer uses a High-flow vacuum system to secure media to the printer table. Three vacuum pumps are used to evacuate the air inside the table. In order for the system to work effectively during printing, all the holes on the vacuum table must be covered.
Page 97 High Flow Table Vacuum Controls Vacuum Gauge A vacuum gauge is located on the table. It provides a visual representation of the actual pressure in the vacuum table. NOTE If the vacuum gauge reads below 40"H O and vacuum vents are closed and all vacuum holes are covered with I/O paper or similar non-porous media, there may be a leak in the vacuum system.
Page 98 High Flow Table Vacuum Controls NOTE The number of active pumps, the level of venting, and media characteristics affect the level of vacuum required to secure the media to the table. It is up to the operator to determine the level of vacuum sufficient to draw down and secure media to the vacuum table without having a negative effect on print quality.
Page 99 High Flow Table Vacuum Controls IMPORTANT Do not step or put pressure on the ends of the printer vacuum table where the no-step label is placed. If pressure is put on the edges of the vacuum overlay they can bend or warp and thus affect the flatness of the printer table and therefore print quality.

Page 172: How To Change A Uv Lamp Bulb
Canon recommends that both UV Lamp bulbs be replaced at the same time to ensure that the curing effect is balanced when printing in both directions. In the case of a premature failure or accidental breakage of one lamp, the operator can decide to replace only one lamp but should confirm image consistency after the replacement.
Page 173 How to Change a UV Lamp Bulb How to Remove the Lamp Bulb It is not necessary to shut the printer power off the while replacing the UV lamp bulbs. However, make sure you turn them off by de-selecting the lamp icon in the user interface before you start and allow a few minutes for the bulbs to cool down.
