1T220 Product Overview
1.1General Description
The Arizona T220 is a six color digital inkjet printer capable of producing large format
images on various rigid and flexible stock materials. The printer consists of a large
vacuum table and moving gantry. The material is held flat and stationary on the
vacuum table during printing. Printing occurs as the gantry moves from one end of the
table to the other. The printer uses solvent-based inks. An infrared heater attached to
the gantry provides curing of the ink on the media. The Arizona T220 must be operated
in accordance with certain environmental and safety reqirements noted in this
document.

(MSDS) for each ink. Post the document in the work area as required by prevailing law.
MSDS for all six inks and the CGS80 solvent are available via the Internet.
1. Go to www.3m.com
2. Click on Search, MSDS
3. Select 3M ID Number
4. Enter one of the following 11 digit numbers:
• 75-3470-3042-3 T2295 Black
• 75-3470-3043-1 T2296 Cyan

Personal Safety
The operator should wear butyl rubber gloves, a protective apron, an NIOSH-approved
respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator), and Safety glasses with side shields
when handling inks.
Risks Associated with Handling Inks
The Arizona T220 uses solvent-based inks; the liquid and the fumes are combustible.
The inks may cause eye irritation or skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated contact.
The inks may be absorbed through the skin, and may cause respiratory system irritation
and nervous system impairment.
Note: These numbers are printed on the cardboard box for the ink and on the ink
bottles themselves.

Safety Information |

What to do with Ink Spills on Surfaces
Observe precautions as noted above, then:
a) Ventilate the area;
b) Contain the spill;
c) Cover with absorbent material;
d) Collect spilled absorbent material;
e) Place in a closed container;
f) Clean up residue with water (do not release to waterways or sewer);
g) Incinerate in a permitted hazardous waste incinerator.
What to do with Ink Spills on Persons
•Eye contact: immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water. Get
immediate medical attention.
•Skin contact: flush skin with large amounts of water. If irritation persists,
get medical attention.
•Inhalation: remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, get immediate
medical attention and give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, get
immediate medical attention.
•If swallowed: call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the
instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
IR Heater
Two infared heaters mounted on the gantry are used to dry the ink during printing. Each
heater has two 3kw elements. The printer uses 3 of the 4 possible elements thus
providing a maximum of 9kw of heat. The carriage passes under the heater and has a
protective cover that reflects heat. The heater operates automatically and does not
require operator intervention.
Caution:
Keep hands clear of the heater assembly. This area will be hot during
and right after printing.

2Ink System Management
2.1Océ Ink
The Arizona T220 uses solvent-based pigmented inks including Cyan (C), Magenta
(M), Yellow (Y), Black (K), Light Magenta (LM), and Light Cyan (LC). The ink is
supplied in 0.95 liter (32 ounce) bottles. The Océ ink part numbers, which are
necessary for ordering more ink, are provided in the following table:
2.2Solvent
The T220 use CGS 80 (part #3000-0057) solvent as a maintenance solution.
Important: See “Safety Information” on page 4 before handling solvent or ink.

2.3Changing an Ink Bottle
The ink bottles are located on the Ink Station tray. Ink levels for each bottle are
monitored by sensors. Low ink levels are indicated on the control panel.
Figure 2 Ink Station showing Ink Bottles
When the control panel displays an “XXX ink low” message, that particular ink should
be replaced. Ink can be replaced at any time, with one exception — Do NOT replace inks
immediately after a purge since the ink pumps may be activated at that time. To replace
an ink bottle:
1. Unscrew the lid on a new ink bottle and remove the silver sealing foil;
2. Unscrew the lid on the empty ink bottle and unplug the coupler. Note that the lid
stays attached to the ink line and coupler. Put the old bottle aside and immediately
place the coupler into the new ink bottle by pushing the flange all the way into the
ink pick-up insert;
Important: To reduce the chance of poor image quality, do not shake the ink supply
bottles before installation or during printing. This may introduce air
bubbles into the ink supply system.
Important: Ensure that the coupler is fully inserted into the ink pick-up insert to
prevent air being drawn into the ink line when the pump is on.
