Direct answer: Before ordering the UPLIMARK UPL-VJ-1000-GEN-422 ink-system cooling fan, confirm the printer is within the listed Videojet 1000 Series scope, then compare the installed fan’s dimensions, voltage, mounting-hole spacing and connector. The store listing shows a white two-pin plug and identifies the item as one new compatible replacement fan assembly. It does not publish numeric dimensions or the electrical rating; confirm those against the installed part and applicable equipment documentation before purchase.
Store product photograph of the listed replacement assembly; it identifies the part, not fitment on an unverified revision.
Why the series name is only the first check
The listing identifies this fan for the ink-system compartment on Videojet 1000 Series CIJ printers. That family name alone does not establish that every cabinet revision uses the same fan. A matching plug or similar frame is not enough: voltage, mounting pattern, cable arrangement and airflow direction also matter. Check these on the installed assembly or verify them with the supplier; this article does not infer missing values.
CIJ Printer Parts is an independent supplier. The product page identifies UPLIMARK model UPL-VJ-1000-GEN-422 as a compatible replacement, not a genuine OEM component. Confirm exact supply status and contents when requesting a quote.
Pre-order fitment checklist
- Identify the printer. Record the full model and revision from the equipment nameplate; do not rely on a broad series name alone.
- Record the installed fan reference. Photograph any label or marking if safely accessible under the manufacturer’s procedure. If it is unreadable, say so rather than guessing.
- Compare physical interfaces. Measure the fan frame and mounting-hole spacing in consistent units. Compare connector housing, contact arrangement, cable exit and lead length. The listing shows a white two-pin plug; appearance does not establish pinout.
- Confirm electrical and airflow requirements. Check voltage and other specified ratings, wiring and airflow direction against the removed part or equipment documentation. The listing does not publish numeric ratings, so request confirmation before ordering.
- Confirm supply scope. The listing states one fan assembly. Ask whether separate guards, fasteners or other items are required; do not assume they are included.
- Send fitment evidence. Provide the printer model/revision, installed reference, clear fan/connector/mounting photos, dimensions, quantity and destination.
Safe replacement boundary
Fan removal and electrical checks should be performed only by qualified personnel using the machine maker’s shutdown and isolation procedure. Do not probe or disconnect a fan while the printer is energized. If the required rating, wiring or airflow direction cannot be verified from approved documentation, stop and request supplier or manufacturer guidance rather than substituting by appearance.
This is a procurement checklist, not a diagnosis that the fan has failed. A cabinet-temperature symptom can have other causes; see the general CIJ fan and restricted-airflow checks before deciding which part to replace.
Frequently asked questions
Does the white two-pin plug prove this fan will fit?
No. The connector is shown on the listing, but voltage, wiring, mounting dimensions and airflow direction also need confirmation for the exact configuration.
Is UPL-VJ-1000-GEN-422 a genuine OEM fan?
The store listing describes it as a new compatible replacement from an independent parts supplier, not a genuine OEM component.
What should I send with a quote request?
Send the exact printer model and revision, installed reference if available, fan and connector photos, measured dimensions, quantity and destination. Ask the supplier to confirm fitment, current availability and package scope.
Request a fitment check
Review the UPL-VJ-1000-GEN-422 product listing and the CIJ compatibility and ordering guide. For a quote, include the model/revision, fan reference, photos, dimensions, quantity and destination. Ask CIJ Printer Parts to confirm fitment and current supply details before ordering.
