Hand Held Inkjet Coding Machine Manual

• Ink cartridge — minimum 20% remaining
• Print nozzle test on scrap paper — all 4 lines sharp
• Batch number, MFD, and expiry date verified — MUST match Machinery Log Book batch reference
• Ink dry time checked — quick-dry must be dry before stacking

1. Run test print on scrap material — verify legibility
2. Set print height — minimum 12mm (FSSAI requirement)

1. Run test print on scrap material — verify legibility
2. Set print height — minimum 12mm (FSSAI requirement)
3. Code each unit — hold perpendicular, 2–3cm from surface
4. Check every 20th unit for print clarity
5. Allow ink to dry before stacking — 3–5 seconds quick-dry

No separate shutdown step stated on the source card; follow the post-operation checklist.

• Run nozzle cleaning cycle
• Store machine UPRIGHT — never on its side
• Log: batch number printed | product | units coded | ink cartridge level at end

• Solvent-based ink — NO open flame nearby
• Ventilate area

CRITICAL RULE: Batch number on packed product MUST match batch number in Machinery Log Book. Any mismatch = FSSAI compliance failure. Stop production and report to supervisor immediately.

Routine prevention is embedded in the pre-operation and post-operation checks; no separate time-based preventive-maintenance interval is stated on the source card.
