Question UJF-6042 White Ink circulation settings & timer How do I turn it off or adjust settings ?

[Tipgypsy]

Is there a setting or parameter I can access to adjust the white Ink circulation timer or turn it off completely. I run my printers with a direct line to the Damper & give them a shake. Timer still pauses the printer & runs the circ pump randomly would be awesome to do away with all the waiting. This is the older cartridge version of the machine.

Couldn't find a setting on mine, or anything in the service manual about disabling it. I am curious about the direct line ink system you have though - got any photos of it?

Might be able to just unplug the pump motor and go from there. Typically just a stepper motor without an encoder for feedback. Alternatively, if it's a MK 1, just remove the blue roller cap on the pump and will quiet the thing down a lot.

Nothing special really just used existing tubing and routed direct from the white cartridges to the dampers the pump loop is disconnected. Works the same as the Mk 1 3042

Its an old Mk1 - I have 2 of the beasts - Motor is still in place I just removed the tubing from the plastic IV pump. It runs for several minutes at start up and every few hours. Its just a bit annoying when your running a job and the timer pauses your print till the cycle completes. Not sure what it would do if I unplugged the pump motor connector - might stop the cycle or could just error code. Ill try that.
