Safety Information
About FB7600 Printer
The FB7600 printer is a sheet-fed UV industrial flatbed digital printing press. It
is mainly composed of the main chassis, loading/unloading system, flatbed
printing table, printing bridge, and UV curing system. The machine prints on
sheet-fed media using UV ink.
There are two methods of loading substrate sheets: 3/4 Automatic loading and
Manual loading. Before starting a print run, the machine operator selects the
loading method in the machine software.
•3/4 Automatic loading - the substrates are placed by the machine operator
on the loader table one by one and pushed towards the loader entrance.
The loader aligns and feeds the substrates onto the printing table. If there is
more than one copy, the second substrate is placed immediately after the
loader has returned to its home position, even if the first substrate is still
being printed.
When the printing cycle is complete, the system automatically unloads the
first substrate and stacks it on the unloader lift. Simultaneously, it feeds the
second substrate onto the printing table.
•Manual loading - using the machine software, the operator moves the
printing table to the manual loading position and manually places the
substrate sheet on the printing table against the registration pins. The
operator presses the red button; the system activates the vacuum to the
printing table and lowers the registration pins.
The operator starts printing and after the print run is complete, manually
unloads the substrate from the printing table.
Installation and disassembly of the machine should be done by HP service
personnel only. Recycling and disposal should be done according to the local
laws and regulations.
Although the product has been tested against safety standards that cover the
intended use and the reasonably foreseeable misuse, the operator must avoid
any misuse and always follow all the safety recommendation contained in this
guide.
Maintenance and replacement of spare parts should be carried out only by HP
service personnel, or by a person who has been trained and authorized by HP
to maintain the machine.

4HP Scitex Industrial Presses Essential Health and Safety Instructions
Safe Operation Guidelines
The printer is designed and manufactured to ensure maximum safety
operation. It should be installed, operated, and maintained by qualified users
(authorized by HP Scitex) in strict compliance with the safety precautions,
warnings, and operating instructions provided by HP Scitex.
General
•The HP Scitex FB7600 has been designed to meet the safety requirements
applicable to printing equipment. However, anyone attempting to operate
the system must be fully aware of potential safety hazards. See Personal
Safety — Working with the Printer on page 25.
•HP Scitex is not responsible for any injury or damage to the machine
caused by use of the machine other than its intended use as described in the
manuals supplied by HP Scitex.
•The product should be installed, maintained, and serviced by qualified
field service engineers (authorized by HP Scitex), in accordance with the
information, procedures, and instructions provided by HP Scitex.
•The system in whole, or in part, should not be modified in any way without
obtaining the prior written approval of HP Scitex.
•The owner should make certain that only properly trained, fully qualified
personnel are authorized to operate and maintain the FB7600. An
authorized operators list should be maintained. Unauthorized personnel
should not be allowed access to the system.
•It is important that this, and all other HP Scitex FB7600 guides, should be
kept close at hand, studied carefully, and reviewed periodically by the
authorized technicians. However, the manufacturer or vendor of the
equipment makes no representation that the act of reading this guide – or
any other HP Scitex FB7600 guide – renders the reader qualified to operate,
test, or calibrate the system.
•Authorized operators should wear buttoned-up shirt sleeves and closed
shoes when operating the FB7600 printer.
•The HP Scitex FB7600 must have a dedicated power supply, which must
not - under any circumstances - be used for additional equipment.
•Pipes and cables that connect the external components (such as the UV
cabinet and the PDU) to the machine must be protected with a secure,
metal cover of 170 mm height.
•Before performing any maintenance procedure, shut down the system and
padlock the main power switch on the electrical cabinet in the OFF position.

Electrical Shock Hazards
Danger Internal circuits use high voltage, capable of causing serious injury. Do NOT dismantle
the electrical cabinet, or attempt to remove or open system covers or plugs!
Danger In case a local authorized electrician open the electrical cabinet, he should be aware that
after turning off the main power switch on the electrical cabinet, some components inside
of it stay energized (main circuit breaker, EMC filters, and distribution box phase
connection). In the UV electrical cabinet, after turning off the UV main isolator, the main
circuit breaker and EMC filters stay energized.
•Do not connect the printer to the main power switch unless all emergency
switches are reset.
•When working with electrical components, make sure the printer is
disconnected from the mains power supply.
•Place the printer on clean tiled or concrete floors. Anti-static carpeting or
anti-static tiles reduce the hazardous accumulation of static charge near the
printer.

6HP Scitex Industrial Presses Essential Health and Safety Instructions
•It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that electrical works comply
with the local electrical code and the relevant laws and regulations. The
customer should provide qualified and registered electricians to perform
operations as required by these laws and regulations.
•In general, HP service personnel are authorized to perform maintenance
operations in all printer’s parts and subassemblies, but not for the site
electrical infrastructure and printer’s connections to this structure. Safe
isolation of the printer from power prior to service operations shall be done
according to local regulations, and is under the customer’s responsibility.
•When servicing any electrical components, especially the vacuum pump
cabinet or loader cabinet, turn off the main power switch and padlock it
(see Figure 1-2 on page 5).
Danger Only a certified electrician is authorized to carry out any electrical work.
Fuses blown within 36 hours of being replaced may indicate malfunctioning
electrical circuits within the system. Have qualified service personnel check the
system, and do not attempt to replace the fuse again!
Danger An electrical hazard may exist if any light, monitor, or visual indicator stays ON. To
prevent possible injury, immediately turn OFF the switch in the mains power supply box
on the wall.
Fire Hazards
UV-based inks used with the HP Scitex FB7600 have flammable and irritant
properties. Their combustion products include oxides of carbon.
Danger Extreme care must be taken when handling inks and solvent to prevent the risk of fire. Do
not permit smoking or naked flames in the print production or storage areas and ensure
that warning signs (see Figure 1-3 below) are prominently displayed in appropriate
positions.
Figure 1-3 Warning Signs
Always keep two 6 kg fire extinguishers near each HP Scitex FB7600. Never
use water to extinguish a fire! In the event of a fire, switch the electricity OFF
before extinguishing the fire. Use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher only.
Danger Conductive fluids that seep into the active circuit components of the system may cause
short circuits, which can result in electrical fires. Therefore, do not place any liquid or
food on any part of the system.
DANGER: EXPLOSIVE VAPOR, NO SMOKING, NO OPEN FLAMES, NO SPARKS

Explosion Hazard
Do not plug in or turn on power to the system if hazardous substances are
detected in the environment. Should these substances be detected after the
system has been turned on, do not attempt to unplug it, or turn off power.
Evacuate and ventilate the area before turning off power to the system.
Danger Extreme care must be taken when handling inks and solvent, to prevent the risk of
explosion. Do not operate the system in the presence of explosive liquids, vapors, or
gases. Keep all sources of ignition away from the printer and work area.
Provision for an Eye Wash Station
When installing the HP Scitex FB7600, it is important to provide an eye wash
station and shower. If the system operator accidently splashes ink or solvent
into the eyes, he/she must be able to flush his/her eyes immediately with
copious amounts of clean water or sterile eye-wash solution, and maintain
flushing for a minimum of 15 consecutive minutes. In case ink or solvent
splashes onto the skin, the operator should flush it using a shower. The
provision of these facilities may help to reduce the risk of irritation and
possible damage to the eyes and/or skin.
Eye wash facilities may be provided by plumbing a system into a specific area
(reasonably close to the print production area), or installing a commercially
available eye wash station. These facilities should be located at a distance of no
more than 15 m (50 ft) from the print production area, and unobstructed access
should be maintained at all times.
The services of a plumber will be required for installation of the types of eye
wash fountains shown below (see Figure 1-4). Alternatively, commercially
available eye wash products (eye wash bottles containing sterile solution or
sealed flushing systems) may be used.

10 HP Scitex Industrial Presses Essential Health and Safety Instructions
Cleaning with Solvent and Alcohol
In addition to the safety precautions listed above, it is recommended to observe
the following precautions when cleaning FB7600 components with solvent
(MF10) or alcohol (for example, ethanol):
•Apply solvent and alcohol to wiping paper or a lint-free cloth before
starting to clean. Avoid applying solvent or alcohol directly to FB7600
components.
•Close the container and move it out of the vicinity of the FB7600.When a
cleaning procedure that includes the use of solvent or alcohol is finished,
make sure to do the following before resuming operation:
•Dispose of any used paper or cloth that may contain traces of solvent or
alcohol, according to local environmental regulations.
•Operate the waste pump to empty the waste bath of any possible traces
of solvent or alcohol.
•Verify that all FB7600 components that have been cleaned with solvent or
alcohol are completely dry before resuming machine operation.
Note The use of solvent and alcohol is restricted in California, and may be restricted in
other areas, due to its high VOC (volatile organic compound) content. Therefore, in
these restricted use areas, you must first clean the component using a dry, lint-free
cloth and compressed air. If any cured ink remains, it can be cleaned using a lint-free
cloth moistened with solvent or alcohol (as specified in the chapters that follow).
Waste Disposal
Verify that a covered fireproof container, clearly labeled as hazardous waste, is
available for disposal of waste solvent and ink.
This container must be electrically grounded during transfer of liquids into or
from the container. If solvent-soaked rags or absorbents are used to clean the
area, dispose of them in a closed fireproof container and label as hazardous
waste.
Contact local fire safety, occupational safety and hazardous waste disposal
regulatory agencies for information about specific storage and disposal
requirements for wastes associated with the printer. Waste containers should
not be discharged in sewers and are banned from landfills.

11
Danger Zone and Warning Labels
The Danger Zone around the FB7600 printing table is designated as shown in
Figure 1-5 on page 11. Upon installation of the printer, the Danger Zone will be
clearly marked with yellow/black striped cautionary adhesive tape.
Danger The Danger Zone is extremely hazardous when the printer is in operation and proper
safety guidelines must be followed to ensure a safe work environment.
To prevent possible injury, the SICK programmable safety scanner (see
Unloader Lift Safety Frame on page 25) is mounted on the rear left corner of
the machine chassis. The SICK scans the Danger Zone and stops the print run
and movement of all machine components when someone enters the SICK area
during the printer operation.
Figure 1-5 FB7600 Danger Zone
Figure 1-6 SICK Safety Scanner
Danger To make sure no one enters the SICK area when operating the FB7600, the customer
should install the "Do not enter!" warning labels as shown in Figure 1-5 on page 11.

UV System Safety
Introduction
All equipment is designed and manufactured to International Safety Standards
to ensure that the health and safety of the operator is protected at all times.
This is conditional on equipment being installed correctly by qualified
personnel and operating instructions being strictly adhered to.
Everyone who is required to work with the UV system in any way (including
installers, operators, service engineers, and so on), must be made familiar with
these safety instructions. The equipment is designed for the curing of UV inks.
This equipment is not designed for use in hazardous areas (i.e. it is not
flameproof). There are certain substances that can represent a safety hazard if
not handled correctly.
High Voltage
The UV system works at high voltages. It is therefore essential that the operator
switch the equipment off immediately should any fault develop.
Unless stated otherwise in this manual, the operator should not attempt to
service the equipment, but should instead call a qualified electrician who is
trained to service this type of equipment.
Fire Risk
With lamps running at 800 degrees Centigrade, there is always a risk of fire
should any substrate be under or in the lamp vicinity, or in the event of a build-
up of fluff, dirt or powder within the lamp housing.
Should such a situation occur, the operator must:
•Switch off the equipment immediately. If a fire extinguisher is to be used,
make sure it is of a type which is suitable for use with electrical equipment,
as described in Fire Hazards on page 6.
•A suitable fire extinguisher should be available near the unit.
•The equipment is fitted with high temperature lamps. It is not designed to
operate close to low flash point materials (solvents, etc.).
UV Ink and Generated Products
The relevant safety data sheets from the ink manufacturer must be followed
when handling UV inks.
The materials used in UV inks and varnishes are of a toxic nature. Before
handling, it is essential all operators are conversant with the instructions
provided by the supplier of these materials as to their safe use and disposal.
During operation, there is a possibility that an odor may be generated.
