Safety Information
General Safety Information
This information contained in this manual is not intended for end users and should never be used by untrained individuals.
Only BestCode trained individuals should perform service or maintenance on any of the BestCode Next Series 8 CIJ Printers.
Work performed by unauthorized individuals will damaged and void the warranty of the Printer.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Never use the multimeter to measure resistance while the printer is powered
on. This is a short circuit and may damage the electronics and the multimeter.
Do use multimeter to attempt to measure the charge voltage at the printhead. This will permanently
damage the main board.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: ALL FRONT, BACK, AND AIR FILTER DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED WHILE THE DEVICE IS
OPERATING. THIS HELPS PROTECT THE DEVICE FROM EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCES AND IN THE EVENT
OF A FIRE, THESE DOORS FORM THE FIRE BARRIER THAT PREVENTS FLAMES FROM EXITING THE
DEVICE.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Connect the pump fittings before powering on the machine for the 1st time.
Failure to follow this instruction will cause permanent damage to the pump.
Electrical Safety Information
This section contains information for proper electrical safety practices.
Earth Grounding
•BestCode Series 8 printers are Class I appliances, and therefore requires an earth ground for protection.
•The integrity of the insulation resistance between the live conductors and earth ground has been tested according
to EN 62368-1:2018.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Do not use any power cord that is not provided by
BestCode. Power cords must have 3 prongs, live, neutral, and ground provided. Power socket-outlet
must provide reliable earth ground. Power cord and outlet must remain clean and dry. The socket-
outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Do not use extension cords!
Follow all local safety regulations during installation and operation of the Next Series 8 CIJ.

v
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Do not operate the printer without earth grounding.
Failure to provide an earth ground will lead to shock. This may cause serious injury or death to the
operator and will also cause catastrophic damage to the electronic components.
Never print into an ungrounded container. This may cause serious injury or death to the operator and
will also cause catastrophic damage to the electronic components. Some fluids are flammable,
electrical shocks are a serious fire hazard.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: The resistance between equipment Cabinet or Printhead
and the factory earth ground should measure between 0 and 1 ohm. If that value is greater than 1
ohm, a dedicated earth ground may be required. This test should be regularly performed to ensure the
quality and reliability of the electronic circuitry.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: The Next Series 8 CIJ must be Grounded/Earthed! Failure
to provide adequate grounding/earthing will result in damage to the circuit board,
printhead, and the power supply. This damage will occur over time. The Next
Series 8 CIJ Power Supply generates a DC Ground to support the function of the
Printer, but this does not protect from static or power surges.
Supply Power
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: When connected to Supply Power, this Printer produces
Lethal Voltages. Only BestCode trained individuals should service or maintain the Printer. Follow all
local safety codes and regulations. Unless necessary, always disconnect the Printer from Supply Power
when performing maintenance. Unless necessary, never operate the Printer while the Electronics
Compartment door is open. Failure to observe these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Make sure that the Supply Power is within the acceptable
ranges for operating the Printer. These ranges are clearly marked on the side of the Printer.
100-240Vac @240V, 50hz –22.5V Amps (.225 watts)
50-60Hz @ 120V, 60hz –45V Amps (.45 watts)
3A MAX

vi
System Cables
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Do not use any power cord that is not provided by
BestCode. Power cords must have 3 prongs, live, neutral, and ground provided. Power socket-outlet
must provide reliable earth ground. Power cord and outlet must remain clean and dry. The socket-
outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. The Next Series 8 CIJ does
not have a mechanical power off switch, so the power cord plug is to be considered the primary
disconnect device. Do not use extension cords!
Follow all local safety regulations during installation and operation of the Next Series 8 CIJ.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Regularly inspect cables, sockets, and power supply
module for signs of wear, damage, and corrosion. Inspect all ground connections for corrosion, ink
build-up, or any other contaminant that would impede the ability to provide earth ground to the
Printer. Damaged or poorly connected cables can cause damage to the Printer and may also cause
serious injury or death.
Fluidic Safety Guidelines
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY: THE SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS) IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF SAFE HANDLING
INSTRUCTION FOR THE USE OF INKS, MAKEUPS, AND CLEANERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BESTCODE
NEXT SERIES 8 CIJ PRINTER. FAILURE TO OFFER TRAINING IN COMPLIANCE TO 29 CFR 1926.59 IS IN
BREACH OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION
AND LABELING OF CHEMICALS (GHS).
GHS TRAINING INFO:
https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/osha2254.pdf
BESTCODE SAFETY DATA SHEETS:
https://support.bestcode.co/safety-data-sheets/

vii
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Most Inks and Makeups are highly flammable liquid.
Dried ink can also be highly flammable, so great care should be taken to avoid exposing the fluid to
heat, sparks, static, and any other potential source of spark.
Inks and Makeups are potentially hazardous substances. Always read the SDS of the Ink, Makeup, and
Cleaner before operating, servicing, or performing maintenance on the Printer. Always wear proper
protective equipment when handling Ink, Makeup, or Cleaner. Wear solvent resistant gloves (Nitrile)
and safety glasses to prevent accidental exposure. Never use cleaner to wash Ink or Makeup stains
from skin, hair, or nails.
BESTCODE SAFETY DATA SHEETS:
https://support.bestcode.co/safety-data-sheets/
WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Do not add Ink or Makeup to the Printer without being prompted by the
system. Over-filling the Printer can cause leaks and damage.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: The printhead should never be submerged in Cleaner. This can cause
un-repairable damage to the printhead.
The printhead must be dry before starting the Printer.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Ink and Makeup produce vapor that is high flammable.
Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided for the Printer. Failure to provide adequate ventilation
may cause high volumes of vapor to accumulate around or inside the printer. These high levels of
fumes are easily ignited, and also have negative health effects. This may cause serious damage to the
Printer and can potentially cause serious injury or death. See SDS for proper vapor handling
instructions.
