Safety Information

UV Ink and Flush
Introduction
General Safety Information
You can find the power-marking label near the mains entrance. If connection to a different mains
voltage is required, contact Customer Service.
Do not remove caution labels or caution notations. If a label or notation is soiled, please clean the
label or notation. If you cannot make label or notation legible, or if the label or notation is
damaged, please contact your service representative.
The required operating space of this product is located in the Site Preparation Guide. It also has
some specific safety information, including the dimensions of the product, the recommended
room volume and ventilation rate. The Guide is available from the DGS website: https://
dgs.oce.com/.
UV Ink and Flush
Safe handling and use of UV ink and Flush are detailed in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
documents. Review them before handling UV ink and flush.
NOTE
The Safety Data Sheets for all UV inks and Flush are available from the Océ website. For the
latest SDS and PSDS, visit: http://downloads.oce.com/
CAUTION
UV inks can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow the MSDS guidelines carefully in order
to ensure maximum safety. The information below is a summary of the MSDS documents
published by the UV ink manufacturer.
UV Ink Personal Safety
The operator must wear nitrile gloves, a protective apron, and safety glasses with side shields
when handling inks. Read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the MSDS for each ink.
Post these documents in the work area as required by prevailing law. MSDS are provided with all
inks and flush when you purchase them.
NOTE
Permeation time of ink components through different protective aprons will vary. Protective
aprons must be replaced once contaminated.
Chemicals in UV ink begin to permeate nitrile gloves in less than 10 minutes. While this action
may not be visible, changing contaminated gloves should occur every few minutes. These
penetrating chemicals have no pigment so they are not visible; therefore just because you don’t
have pigment on the glove or your skin doesn’t mean that exposure has not occurred.
Do not use latex gloves. Harmful chemicals in the ink and flush can easily penetrate latex gloves.
Océ recommends that only nitrile gloves, which have been checked for chemical resistance and
approved by the Océ Occupational Health and Safety department, are used. At present, this
includes only the Ansell Touch N Tuff gloves, 92-600 for smooth or 92-605 for textured. Use the
gloves one time only. The 92-605 gloves have a longer cuff and offer more protection at the wrist.
Replace them immediately if they are punctured or degraded. Never re-use contaminated gloves
once they are removed.
UV Ink and Flush
16 Chapter 3 - Safety Information
Océ Arizona 1200 Series

CAUTION
Always use Nitrile gloves when working with UV curing inks. If you get ink on your skin, wash
it off immediately with mild soap and water. Never use alcohol to remove UV ink from your
skin as this will transport the chemicals more easily through your skin and into your body.
Hands should be inspected on a regular basis for any signs of skin damage or inflammation.
UV-curable ink contains sensitizing components. Do not allow skin contact with ink.
Cumulative exposure can lead to sensitization.
Disposal of UV Ink
All waste containing uncured or partly cured UV ink is hazardous and must be disposed of
separately according to local regulations. Do not mix ink waste with non-hazardous waste
(household, office, etc). Do not allow it to reach sewage systems or drinking water supplies. Ink
waste includes maintenance cloths, gloves and any other material containing uncured or partly
cured UV ink.
UV Ink Misting - Carriage Height Warning
Always measure the thickness of the media in use and set the carriage height correctly for that
media. Avoid printing at a height greater than measured as this causes excessive emissions of
UV light and ink mist.
Flush Care and Storage
A small bottle (125ml) is supplied with the printer accessory kit. Use it only to hold flush for use
during the swab procedure. Discard the bottle if it shows signs of physical damage (cracking or
leaking).
Before first use, proceed as follows: Label this bottle as "Flush", add the actual date of receipt of
the bottle and the date of expiry (two years after receipt).
CAUTION
Discard the bottle if it shows any sign of wear or physical damage (cracking or leaking) or at
expiry.
Flush must not be exposed to air for long periods. Always store flush in a sealed container. Flush
has a recommended shelf life of one year. Discard it after one year has passed.
Flush is a solvent and should not be splashed or sprayed around sensitive areas such as the
electronics of the printheads (when cleaning printheads make sure it is only placed on the nozzles
and does not move up the sides.

UV Curing System
Introduction
The UV Curing System on the Océ Arizona printers generates hazardous levels of thermal,
electrical and UV energies. UV-curable ink need a high energy level of UV light to cure. The UV
curing system is made up of two mercury arc lamps attached to the carriage.
How to Handle UV Lamps: UV lamps operate at high temperatures. Never touch a lamp in
operation. Let the lamps cool for a minimum of five minutes before attempting any maintenance.
Use extreme care in handling the UV lamp bulbs. The UV bulbs contain a small amount of
metallic mercury which is toxic when ingested, handled, or breathed. Therefore, if bulbs are
broken, care should be taken to clean up the spill immediately, and then disposed of according to
local regulations concerning Mercury disposal.
UV Lamp Hazards : Superficial eye damage and burning of the skin can occur with even brief
exposure to UV light. Serious injuries can result from prolonged exposure, especially if
unshielded. Special restrictions and protective measures are essential when the printers are used.
Wear Industrial Protective Eyewear with lenses that block both UVA and UVB. Gloves and long-
sleeved work clothes are essential to reduce the skin's exposure to UV emissions.
Bare skin contact with the UV lamp bulbs must be avoided. When heated, compounds from the
skin can form permanent etching on the surface of the UV bulb. A contaminated bulb may fail
prematurely.
Ozone: As a UV lamp warms up, it briefly passes through a section of the light spectrum which
excites oxygen molecules enough to create ozone. Once a UV lamp has completely warmed up,
only very minute amounts of ozone are present.
NOTE
A high concentration of ozone can cause irritation, headaches or nausea. Provide adequate
ventilation as indicated in the Site Preparation Guide.
Replace both lamp bulbs after 500 hours of use to help ensure that the ink in prints is fully cured.
Personal Safety
WARNING
UV Light Emissions can be harmful:
Protective measures are essential in the workplace. Use the UV safety glasses with side shields
supplied with the printer. Wear appropriate clothing that protects the skin from UV light
exposure.
Keep a distance of at least 1 m (3 ft) from UV lamps while printing.
Wear Industrial Protective Eyewear with lenses that block both UVA and UVB. Gloves and long-
sleeved work clothes are essential to reduce the skin's exposure to UV emissions.
CAUTION
Warning for Seated Individuals: UV emissions are highest at a height of 90 cm (35 inches) above
the floor and increase significantly the closer you are to the lamp. This can be an issue for
individuals seated near the printer.
Remove all chairs within 5 meters (16 feet) of the printer.

Safety Interlock System
Introduction
The printer has three Emergency-Stop buttons. The Maintenance Station drawer is part of the
safety interlock system. A beacon light indicates the status of the safety system and the printer.
Components of the Interlock System
Emergency Stop Buttons:
These are located on the Operator Control Station, and on each end of the Gantry. Activating an
Emergency-Stop button stops all printer motion and turns off the UV curing system.
To re-activate the printer after you press an Emergency Stop button, turn the button counter-
clockwise. Upon release of the button, no motion can be initiated without acknowledgment of the
Operator from the Control Station.
Maintenance Station Interlock Function:
The Maintenance Station is located under the carriage and provides access to perform Printhead
Maintenance and swab printheads. Carriage and Gantry motion motors are disabled and UV
lamps are turned off (if they were On), when the station drawer is open. The Interlock system is
automatically reset when the drawer is closed.
Beacon Light Status
A green beacon light is mounted to the top surface of the printer carriage. The purpose of this
light is to indicate basic printer status to the operator.
Beacon off: indicates the printer can be approached without caution. The machine cannot initiate
movement since the interlock Safety System has disabled all motion and hazardous hardware.
Beacon on: indicates the printer is powered up and ready to initiate motion. This tells an operator
to approach the machine with caution, because it can initiate motion at any moment.
