Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams,
represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow
indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, however, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.2.2 Printhead
0013-2742

The printhead that mounts on the carriage is an integrated six-color disposable printhead.
It has 2,560 nozzles for each color, comprising two trays of 1,280 nozzles each arranged in a zigzag pattern.
If print quality remains unimproved even after a specified cleaning operation, replace the printhead. Replacement about one year after the date of initial unpacking
is also recommended.

1.2.3 Ink tank
0012-6218

Ink tanks are disposable.
The ink tanks come with 12 colors: mat black (MBK), black (BK), photocyan (PC), cyan (C), photomagenta (PM), magenta (M), yellow (Y), red (R), blue (B),
green (G), gray (GY) and photogray (PGY). Each of these inks are pigment ink.
The tanks are also available in two capacities: 330 mL and 700 mL.
Each tank is furnished with a notch for preventing incorrect installation, which will allow the tank to be installed only at the position marked in the right color.
An ink tank should be replaced when an ink tank replacement prompt message appears or when six months expire after the date of initial unpacking, whichever
occurs earlier.

1.2.4 Cutter unit
0013-6369

The cutter unit that mounts on the carriage unit is disposable.
Replace the cutter unit when it gets dull.

F-1-4

1.2.5 Roll holder
0013-6371

The printer comes with a roll holder for paper tubes having an inside diameter of 2 inches as standard. It supports an optional roller holder for paper tubes having
an inside diameter of 3 inches.
Both roll holders clamp the paper tubes of roll media with an outside diameter of 150 mm or less from inside.

F-1-5

1.2.6 Media take-up unit (option)
0014-8824

The media take-up unit takes up roll media, ranging in width from 17 to 44 inches, on a 2 or 3-inch paper tube in roll form after they are printed by the host computer.
Taking up begins automatically when a sensor attached to the bottom of the stand detects a roll delivered after printing falling down due to the weight of a weight
roller.
Rolls may also be manually taken up by using a button on the media take-up unit.

1-2

Chapter 1
The media take-up unit has an overload protection feature to prevent accidents while taking up rolls. (The feature will shut down the motor automatically when an
overload occurs while taking up a roll.)
Additional features of the media take-up unit include:
- An adapter may be installed to support a 3-inch paper tube.
- Rolls can be rewound by feeding them backward to visually check images.
- Weight rollers varying in length to suit specific roll widths ensure added takeup efficiency.
- The printer detects errors in the media take-up unit by itself.
- Linked with the printer's sleep mode.

Although the ink is not harmful to the human body, it contains organic solvents.
Avoid getting the ink in your mouth or eyes.
Flush well with water and see a doctor if contact occurs.
In case of accidental ingestion of a large quantity, call a doctor immediately.
Since this ink contains pigment, stains will not come out of clothing.

1-17

Chapter 1
2. Ink mist
Since the printhead prints by squirting ink onto the media, a minute amount of ink mist is generated in the printing unit during printing. The ink mist is collected in
the printer by the airflow. However, uncollected ink mist may stain the platen unit, carriage unit, main rail unit, external unit, or purge unit.
These stains may soil the print media or hands and clothes when servicing the printer, wipe them off carefully with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth.

1.7.2 Other Precautions
1.7.2.1 Printhead
0013-1937

1. How to Handle the Printhead
Do not open the printhead package until you are ready to install the head.
When installing the printhead in the printer, hold the knob[1] and then remove the protective cap 1[2] and protective cap 2[3] in that order.
Do not reattach the protective cap 2[3] to the printhead because the cap may damage the nozzles[4].
To prevent the nozzles from getting clogged with foreign matter or dried ink, install the printhead immediately after you remove the protective caps.
Also make sure to press down the locking lever of the printhead until you feel a click.
In addition, to prevent clogging of the nozzles with foreign matter and improper supply of ink, never touch the nozzles[4] or ink port[6], or wipe it with tissue paper
or anything else.
Do not touch Electrical contact[5].
Also, never attempt to disassemble/reassemble the printhead or wash it with water.

1-18

Chapter 1
MEMO:
If the nozzles are clogged or an ink suction problem occurs, white lines can appear on the printout a constant frequency or color dulling can occur. If this problem
is not resolved by cleaning operations, replace the printhead with a new one.

2. Capping
The printer will perform the capping operation when printing has ended or during standby due to an error, in order to protect the printhead and avoid ink leakage.
If the power cord is accidentally unplugged, turn off the Power button, reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the Power button. Confirm that the printer starts
up properly and enters to the "Online" or "Offline" status, and then power off the printer using the Power button.

Improper "capping operation" may cause clogged nozzles due to dried ink or ink leakage from the printhead.
3. When the printer is not used for a long time
Keep the printhead installed in the printer even when it is not used for an extended period of time.

If the printhead is left uninstalled, a printing failure may arise from closed nozzles due to depositing of foreign matter or dried ink when it is reinstalled.
Even if the head remains installed, the nozzle may dry out and cause a printing failure if the ink is drained for transport.
4. Conductivity of Ink
The ink used in this printer is electrically conductive. If ink leaks to into the mechanical unit, wipe clean with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth. If ink leaks onto
electrical units, wipe them completely using tissue paper. If you cannot remove ink completely, replace the electrical units with new ones.

If electrical units are powered with ink leaked onto them, the units may damage.
Never connect the power cord when ink has leaded onto the electrical units.

1.7.2.2 Ink tank
0012-6292

1. Unpacking the Ink Tank
Do not unpack the ink tank until you are ready to install it.
When installing the ink tank, be sure to shake it slowly 7 to 8 times before unpacking it. Otherwise, the ink ingredients may precipitate and degrade the print quality.
To prevent foreign matter from entering the ink port, installed the unpacked ink tank in the printer immediately.
2. Handling the Ink Tank
To prevent foreign matter from entering the ink flow path and causing ink suction and printing problems, never touch the ink port and contacts of the ink tank.
When you press down the ink tank cover, the needle enters the ink port, allowing ink to flow between the printer and ink tank.
Do not raise or lower the ink tank cover except when replacing the ink tank.

1-19

Chapter 1

F-1-29

1.7.2.3 Handling the Printer
0012-6294

1. Precautions against Static Electricity
Certain clothing may generate static electricity, causing an electrical charge to build up on your body. Such a charge can damage electrical devices or change their
electrical characteristics.
In particular, never touch the printhead contacts[1].

[1]

F-1-30

2. Fixing the Carriage
After completion of printing, the carriage is mechanically locked by the lock arm in the purge unit at the same moment the printhead is capped.
Before transporting the printer, secure the carriage at its home position using belt stoppers[1] so that the carriage does not become separated from the lock arm and
damage or ink does not leak.

[1]

F-1-31

3. Replacing the maintenance cartridge
When the maintenance cartridge detects that tank is full, the "Repl. Maint. C" error appears. In this case the maintenance cartridge must be replaced.
The printer will not operate until the error is cancelled.
Be careful that the waste ink does not splash when you remove the used maintenance cartridge from the printer.
MEMO:
This printer has an EEPROM in the maintenance cartridge and the maintenance cartridge status is controlled by the main controller PCB which reads and writes
the content of that EEPROM. Therefore, initializing the counter information will not be needed when the maintenance cartridge is replaced.

1-20

Chapter 1
4. Refilling the ink
After removing the ink in the printer according to the automatic or manual ink draining procedure to disassemble, reassemble, or transport/ship the printer, refill
the ink as soon as possible upon completion of those tasks.
If the ink remaining in the printer after the removal has dried up, the ink deposits on the surfaces of the components may cause damage or abnormal operation.

1.7.3 Precautions When Servicing Printer
1.7.3.1 Notes on the Data Stored in the Printer
0013-5942

This printer counts the print length, number of ink tank replacements, carriage driving time, number of cleaning operations, number of cutter operations, and so on
and stores them in the main controller's EEPROM as a COUNTER in Service mode.
COUNTER provides important information about the printer usage status.
You can check this information by printing it in the service mode or displaying it on the display.
Following the precautions below when servicing the printer.
a) Repairing/replacing the PCB
When replacing the main controller, follow the specified replacement procedure.
b) After replacing the carriage unit
The information about the carriage driving time arises in the carriage unit. After replacing the carriage unit, select INITIALIZE > CARRIAGE in the service mode
to initialize the information about the carriage driving time.
c) After replacing the purge unit
The information about the number of cleanings arises in the purge unit. After replacing the purge unit, select INITIALIZE > PURGE in the service mode to initialize
the information about the number of cleanings.
Reference:
For the main controller replacement procedure, see Disassembly/Reassembly > Points to Note on Disassembly and Reassembly > PCBs.

You cannot check the counter information once it is initialized. Be careful not to initialize the counter information before checking it.
You cannot modify the counter information from the operation panel.

1.7.3.2 Confirming the Firmware Version
Firmware has been downloaded to the main controller.
When you have replaced the main controller, check that the firmware is the latest version. If not, update it to the latest version.

0013-5945

Reference:
For how to up update the main controller, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING > Version Up.

1.7.3.3 Precautions Against Static Electricity
Certain clothing may generate static electricity, causing an electrical charge to build up on your body. Such a charge can damage electrical devices.
To prevent this, discharge any static buildup by touching a grounded metal fitting before you start disassembling the printer.

0013-5947

1.7.3.4 Precautions for Disassembly/Reassembly
The precautions for disassembly/Reassembly are described in DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY

0013-5948

1.7.3.5 Self-diagnostic feature

2.1.2 Print Driving
0012-6309

During printing, print signals and control signals are issued to the printhead via the carriage relay PCB and Head relay PCB in order to discharge ink from the
nozzles.
On a printhead, six arrays of nozzles are provided in six arrays in a staggered pattern.
This printer uses a pair of printheads.
(The Y, PC, C, PGy, Gy, MBk, PM, M, Bk, R, G, B nozzles are mounted in this order from the left.)
Even-numbered nozzle data and odd-numbered nozzle data -- which are print signals -- are sent to each nozzle array in sync with the data sending clock and data
latch pulse timings.
Drive control signals include a Heat Enable signal and a Sub Heat Enable signal. The Heat Enable signal is used to discharge ink from nozzles. The Sub Heat Enable
signal is used to raise the printhead temperature to a suitable value to maintain the ink discharge amount constant.

2.2 Firmware

2.2.3 Print Control
0012-6312

1. Print modes
Print methods, such as carriage and paper feed operation, are varied according to the media type, print quality, kind of print data and so forth to achieve high-quality
high-speed print free from blurring and uneven density.
Because each color prints in up to 16 passes according the print quality requirement for a print mode, uneven density problems caused by variations in the rate of
discharge among different nozzles are eliminated. Deferred print timings do not allow a new ink to overprint the preceding ink until the preceding ink has virtually
fixed, thereby reducing the chances of blurred printing.
Different operations take place even in the same print mode according to the paper setting of the print driver.
a) Draft mode
Imaging data is thinned out to print in one or two passes per band (equivalent of the length of a nozzle).
Configure the print driver for print quality Draft to enable draft mode
b) Standard mode
Imaging data prints in one to six (one, two, four or six) passes per band (equivalent of the length of a nozzle).
Configure the print driver for print quality setting Standard to enable standard mode.
c) High quality mode
Imaging data prints in two, four or eight passes per band.
Configure the print driver for print quality High to enable high quality mode.
d) Highest quality mode
Imaging data prints in eight or 16passes per band.
Configure the print driver for print quality Highest to enable highest quality mode.

2.2.4 Print Position Adjustment Function
0012-6313

This printer supports a print position adjust the vertical and horizontal print position and the bidirectional print position of the print head mounted on the carriage
and the feedrate.
Print position adjustment work in two modes: automatic adjustment, in which print position adjustment patterns printed are detected by a multi sensor attached to
the lower left part of the carriage, and manual adjustment, in which print position adjustment patterns that are slightly modified from one another are printed, so
that visually verified adjustment values can be set from the operation panel.
To make print position adjustment, A3-or-larger-sized roll media or cut media are needed.

2.2.5 Head Management
0012-6314

This printer supports a nozzle check function to spot non-discharging nozzles in the printhead.
When the printer detects a non-discharging nozzle. it starts cleaning the printhead automatically to correct its discharge failure. If cleaning does not work, the printer
backs up the non-discharging nozzle with an alternative nozzle automatically to ensure unfailing print performance.
Detection timings (automatic):
Power-on, carriage cover open detection, print start (check timing variable by selecting Nozzle Check from the system menu).

2.2.6 Printhead Overheating Protection Control
0012-6315

When an abnormal temperature rise in the printhead is detected, overheating protection control launches.
Overheating could occur in the printhaed after a spell of print operations without the nozzles being filled with inks.
Overheating protection control is implemented on the basis of the temperature detected by the head temperature sensor for each nozzle. When an abnormal temperature is detected in any nozzle train, overheating protection control is exerted at one of two levels according to that temperature.
Protection level 1:
If the head temperature sensor (DI sensor) detects a temperature higher than the protection temperature, it halts the carriage temporarily at the scan end position in
the direction of travel according to the carriage scan status.
Printing resumes when the printhead radiates naturally to cool down to below a predetermined temperature or when 30 seconds or longer have elapsed since the
detection of the temperature higher than the protection temperature.
Protection level 2:
If the head temperature sensor (DI sensor) detects a temperature higher than the abnormal temperature, the printer shuts down the print operation immediately,
moving the carriage to the home position for capping, with an error indication on the display.

2.2.7 Pause between Pages
0012-6320

An inter-page function is available to prevent ink rubbing, which keeps paper just printed hanging above the platen and waiting for a predetermined period of time
before delivery.
The wait time is user-programmable from the print driver. This feature is particularly useful on paper that takes time to dry after printing, such as films.

2.2.8 White Raster Skip
This printer supports a white raster skip function to bypass carriage scanning in a consecutive sequence of voids in print data for added throughput.

0012-6322

2.2.9 Sleep mode
0012-6324

The printer has sleep mode to save on its standby power requirement.
The printer transitions to sleep mode automatically when it has been left idle or no print data has been received for a predetermined period of time while the printer
is online or offline.
The printer exits sleep mode when any operation panel key is activated or print data is received from the host computer.
The time to transition to sleep mode is variable from the operation panel (Default: 5minutes).

2.3 Printer Mechanical System
2.3.1 Outline
2.3.1.1 Outline
0012-6326

The printer mechanism is broken down into two broad sections: ink passage and paper passage.
The ink passage consists primarily of carriage unit[2] that houses ink tanks[1] and a printhead, purge unit[3] and maintenance cartridge[4], and supplies, circulates,
sucks and otherwise handles inks.
The paper passage consists of mechanical components, such as a paper feed unit[5], and is designed to feed, convey and deliver paper in two ways.
A summary description of each mechanical component of the printer is given below.

0012-6328

The ink passage comprises ink tanks, a printheads, caps, a maintenance jet tray, a maintenance cartridge, ink tubes interconnecting the mechanical components of
the printer, and a suction pump that is driven to suck inks. It supplies, circulates, sucks and otherwise handles inks.
The ink passage (per color) is schematically shown below, along with the ink flow.

a) Supplying inks from the ink tanks to the ink supply valve assembly
The ink tanks each contain an ink to feed the printhead.
Head differences allow the inks to flow from the ink tanks to the subtanks first, then to the ink supply valves.
Air is discharged through the air passage of the subtanks to keep the internal pressure of the ink tanks constant.
b) Supplying inks from the ink supply valves to the printhead
The ink stored in an ink tank flows to the printhead when the suction pipe is driven with the ink supply valve opened and the head capped.
c) Supplying inks while printing
The ink supply valves are kept open while printing, so that inks are constantly feeding to the printhead under the negative pressure of the nozzle assembly caused
by discharging inks.
Further, waste inks sucked in a cleaning operation and inks from the maintenance jet tray flow into the maintenance cartridge.

Opening all the ink passages (by opening both the ink supply valve and the printhead fixer lever with an ink tank yet to be installed) while an ink tube is filled with
an ink could cause the ink in the ink tube to flow backward due to a head difference, leaking through the hollow needle in the ink tank.
As a precaution, never open all the ink passages at the same time while the ink tubes are filled with inks.
d) Ink agitating
Ink will be agitated to prevent the element of the pigment ink from subsiding in the ink tank and the sub-tank.
The drive of valve motor is transmitted to the agitation cam, the agitation fin in a sub-tank rotates and ink in a sub-tank will be agitated. In addition, ink flows
backward by moving the piston under the needle(ink supply) up and down in the ink tank, and ink in the ink tank will be agitated.

2.3.2.2 Ink Tank Unit
2.3.2.2.1 Structure of Ink Tank Unit
0012-6329

a) Ink tanks
The ink level in each ink tank is memorized in EEPROM attached to the tank and is detected as a dot count on the basis of the EEPROM information.
When an electrode attached to a hollow needle detects no continuity, it displays a message reporting that the ink tank is nearly empty.
If the dot count reaches a predesigned value in this state, an ink out condition is assumed.
b) Ink port
Depressing the ink tank fixer lever on the printer would cause would cause a hollow needle to pierce the ink tank port sealed by a rubber plug, linking the ink passage
of the ink to the printer.
c) Air passage
Depressing the ink tank fixer lever on the printer would cause an open hollow needle to pierce the air passage sealed by a rubber plug releasing the internal pressure
of the ink tank to keep it constant.
d) Notches for preventing incorrect installation
Ink tanks are furnished with a notch for preventing incorrect installation.
If the installation of an ink tank in incorrect position is attempted, the notch would interfere with it, preventing its installation.
The ink tank fixer lever won't lower without the ink tank fully inserted to reach the mounting position, so the ink cannot be supplied.

e) Subtank
The subtank installed under each ink tank complements the work of the ink tank, agitating the ink in the tank.
If the ink tank runs out of the ink while printing, the ink stored in the subtank is available, allowing the ink tank to be replaced without having to stop printing.
f) Ink supply valves
Ink tank supply valves are located halfway between the ink tanks and the ink tubes. These valves prevent the leakage of inks that might otherwise be caused by the
opening of the ink tubes on the side of the ink tanks during their replacement.
The ink supply valves are caused to open and close by the valve open/close mechanism that is activated by driving the valve motors.
The ink tank unit consists of tank bases each organized into one group of six colors, and six-color ink tubes.
The color-specific ink supply valves are linked with the valve cams so they will open and close at the same time for all colors.

2.3.2.3 Carriage Unit
2.3.2.3.1 Functions of Carriage unit
0012-6330

a) Printhead mounting function
The carriage, which fixes the printhead in position mechanically, is connected to the contact of the head relay PCB.
b) Control function
The carriage carries a carriage relay PCB, which relays drive signals from the main controller PCB, a head relay PCB,which relay printhead drive signals to printhead, a linear encoder, which generates print timing signals, and a multi sensor, which detects the width of paper and skews in it, adjusts is registration and head
height.
The carriage relay PCB is connected to the main controller PCB by a flexible cable.
c) Carriage drive function
The carriage is caused to reciprocate level on the platen by means of the carriage belt that is driven by the power imparted from the carriage motor.
d) Printhead maintenance function
This printer performs cleaning operations, such as wiping the printhead and sucking inks, with the carriage halted at its home position.
e) Nozzle check function
This printer carries out an ink discharge operation with the carriage halted at the head management sensor, locating a non-discharging nozzle in the printhead.
f) Carriage height adjustment function
If the separation between the face of the printhead and the paper (carriage height) is varied as a result of differing paper thicknesses, cockled or curled paper or other
problems, the printer is liable to mist generation as the carriage height increases or to head rubbing as the carriage height decreases.
To maintain an acceptable carriage height, the lift motor is driven according to the selected paper type, feeding method, print conditions (borderless printing/prioritized picture quality) , environmental condition(temperature/humidity) and multi sensor measurements to automatically adjust the separation between the face of
the printhead and the paper
The table below shows the relation between the form kind and the height of the head.

h) Automatic printhead position adjustment function
The multi sensor attached to the lower left part of the carriage reads an adjustment pattern printed on a form and adjusts the print timing of each printhead automatically.
i) Remaining roll media detection function
The printer prints a bar code on roll media upon delivery. The multi sensor attached to the lower left part of the carriage indicates the remaining volume of roll media.
j) Internal unit temperature sensor
A thermistor installed on the head relay PCB detects the internal unit temperature near the printhead.
2.3.2.3.2 Structure of Carriage Unit
0012-6332

a) Printhead mount
The printhead is secured to the carriage by the printhead fixer cover and the printhead fixer lever.
When the printhead is secured to the carriage, the signal contact of the head relay PCB is pressed against that of the printhead to convey print signals.
Further, the ink passage from the ink tanks is connected to the printhead via the ink tubes.
b) Ink port
Ink is supplied to the printhead via an ink tube, which runs between the tube guides via joints to reach the carriage and follows up is motion.

c) Controller
The Carriage relay PCB is connected to the head relay PCB by means of a short flexible cable.
The flexible cable between the main controller and the carriage relay PCB follows up the motion of the carriage together with the tube guide.
A photocoupler encoder mounted in the lower part of the back of the carriage detects a linear scale reading as the carriage moves.
d) Carriage drive
Mechanical misregistrations in the vertical/horizontal and bidirectional print positions of the printhead mounted can be corrected by selecting Adjust Printer from
the main menu to shift the print timing.
A DC-operated carriage motor drives the carriage reciprocally on the platen by way of the carriage belt.
The carriage home position, or the capping position, is detected by the sensor flag on the right side of the carriage and the photointerrupter-based carriage HP sensor
on the right side of the printer. When the linear scale position is set as a reference home position for use in subsequent position control operations, the carriage motor
is driven by a control signal generated from the main controller PCB.
e) Printhead maintenance unit
This printer cleans the printhead with the carriage halted at its home position.
Wiping takes through the rotation of the motor.
Wiper blades mounted on the carriage wipe the printhead while the carriage is halted at its home position.
Wet wiping is carried out for added wiping removal performance, whereby the wiper blades are moistened with glycerin as they are pressed against an absorber
impregnated with glycerin.
Maintenance jet ejection is carried out on the cap, at the maintenance jet tray, borderless printing ink tray and on the paper surface.
A suction operation is carried out by a suction cap in the purge unit.
f) Carriage height adjustment unit
The head height is adjusted with the carriage halted at its home position.
The lift motor is driven to rotate the lift shaft within the carriage, in sync with which the lift cams on both sides of the carriage move the head holder up and down,
thereby varying the separation between the face of the printhead and the paper.
The printhead height is detected from the lift cam sensor within the carriage and the distance of rotation of the lift motor.
g) Multi sensor
The multi sensor attached to the lower left part of the carriage consists of four LEDs (red, blue, green, infrared) and two light-receiving sensors to detect the leading
edges and width of paper and skews in it, and to adjust its registration and head height.
The multi sensor standard has a white plate attached to it, so that a reference value can be calculated during carriage height measurement by measuring the intensity
of light reflected upon the white plate.
(Service mode: SERVICE MODE>ADJUST>GAP CALIB)
h) Rail cleaner
The shaft cleaner located in the right rear of the carriage helps keep the main rail clean.
i) Internal unit temperature sensor
One thermistor is installed on the head relay PCB on the back of the head holder to detect the internal unit temperature.

2.3.2.5 Purge Unit
2.3.2.5.1 Functions of Purge Unit
0012-6344

The purge unit maintains the nozzle assembly of the printhead to maintain print quality.
Functions provided by the purge unit include capping, cleaning and ink supply.
a) Capping function
The capping function presses the caps in the purge unit against the face plate of the nozzle assembly in the printhead to protect from drying and foreign matter
adherence.
Capping takes place at the end of printing, during a suction operation and when the printer stands by in the wake of an error occurrence.
The capping function connects the printhead to the ink passage of the purge unit.
b) Cleaning function
The cleaning function restores the nozzle to facilitate ink discharges through them.

2.3.2.5.2 Structure of Purge Unit
0012-6341

a) Caps
The caps cap the nozzle assembly in the left printhead during capping and cleaning. The part of the caps that comes into contact with the face plate of the nozzle
assembly is made of rubber. Two caps are in position to meet each of the printheads mounted on the carriage (six trains of nozzles).

2-12

Chapter 2
The caps are activated to protect the nozzle assembly on capping. When the carriage moves to the home position , the caps are elevated by the cap can that is driven
by the capping motor, capping the nozzle assembly to protect it.
These caps cap the nozzle assembly to suck inks from the printhead by means of the suction pump.

F-2-12

b) Wipers
The wipers are driven by the purge motor to wipe the six trains of nozzles in the nozzle assembly in the printhead simultaneously.
A pair of wiper blades are in position to ensure wiping performance. The wiping operation operates on a slide wiping basis, sliding the wiper blades via wiper cams
through the normal rotation normal of the purge motor.
Wiping is executed by the wiper blades moving at a constant speed to the front of the printer after the end of a print or suction operation.
A wiper blade set perpendicularly to the head wipes the entire face of the printhead, followed by a narrower blade wiping the nozzle assembly.
The wiper blades are cleaned before they are replaced at the wiping position after wiping to preserve wiping performance.
Wiper blade cleaning is carried out by scraping off the inks that have been wiped off from the head with an ink scraper linked to the maintenance cartridge, then
wiping the blades with a blade cleaner.
Wet wiping is carried out for added wiping removal performance, whereby the wiper blades are moistened with glycerin as they are pressed against an absorber
impregnated with glycerin. The quantity of glycerin used is managed by counting the number of times the wiper blades have been pressed against the absorber.
When this count falls to equal any of the following values, either a replacement warning (continued print available) or replacement required indication (service call
error) is issued.

c) Pump
The pump (suction pump) is a tube pump that pressurizes the ink tubes with rotating rollers to generate a negative pressure for sucking inks.
A single tube is sequentially pressurized by a pair of rotating rollers to control the level of ink suction by a wide margin.
The timing at which the rotating rollers rotate is detected by the pump cam sensor, with the distance of rotation being controlled by the driving of the purge motor.

2.3.2.6 Maintenance Cartridge
2.3.2.6.1 Maintenance cartridge
0012-6346

a) Maintenance cartridge
The maintenance cartridge holds as much about 1200 mL of used inks (about 1280 g: including the evaporation of moisture from the used inks).
b) Used maintenance cartridge ink detection
Used maintenance cartridge ink detection is monitored with regard to a dot count.
When the quantity of the used ink reaches about 960 mL (about 1024 g, 80% of the cartridge capacity), the warning message "Maintenance C Space Check" isdisplayed to tell that the maintenance cartridge is nearly full.
Printing may continue even when the warning message is displayed.
When the quantity of the used ink reaches about 1200 mL (about 1280 g, 100% of the cartridge capacity), a replacement prompt error message is displayed, telling
that the maintenance cartridge is full.
When the printer determines that the maintenance cartridge is full, it shuts down even while it is printing.
The printer will remain inoperable until the maintenance cartridge is replaced.

Memo:
- The maintenance cartridge houses EEPROM, so that engine firmware can control the status of the maintenance cartridge by writing to and reading from the
EEPROM content.
There is no need to initialize the counter information, therefore, when the maintenance cartridge is replaced.

3.1.2.2 Assembling the Stand
Assemble the stand.

0014-8921

Stand assembly requires two or more people working on a flat floor. Assembling the stand alone may cause injury or accidental bending of the stand.
Stand casters are locked at the time of factory shipment. Do not release the lock until the stand has been fully assembled. In addition, release the lock before moving
the stand. Moving the stand while the casters are locked may scratch the floor or cause injury.
1) Position the left stand leg and right stand leg so that the markings on the bottom are right-side up and can be read. Insert the left side of the bottom stand stay
into the side slot [1] of the left stand leg, and insert the right side of the bottom stand stay into the side slot [2] of the right stand leg.

4.5 Adjustment and Setup Items
4.5.1 Action to take after replacing the feed roller HP sensor, feed roller encoder, or feed roller
0012-6594

Action to take after replacing the feed roller HP sensor, feed roller encoder or feed roller
Feed roller eccentricity is factory-adjusted (correction of variation in the paper feed amount per rotation). It is necessary to adjust feed roller eccentricity after replacing the feed roller HP sensor, feed roller encoder or feed roller.
In the service mode, perform automatic adjustment of feed roller eccentricity.
Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > PRINT PATTERN > LF TUNING
Media type : Photo glossy paper

4.5.2 Action to take after replacing the carriage unit or multi sensor
0013-7133

a) Note on replacing the carriage unit and the multi sensor
The multi sensor reference plate must be replaced at the same time whenever the carriage or the multi sensor is being replaced.
b) Multi Sensor Recalibration
Because the distance between the multi sensor (in the carriage unit) and the nozzles (in each printhead) is varied from one unit to another, the printer has its optical
axis corrected and paper gap adjustment sensor gain and calibration adjusted prior to shipment. When the carriage unit or multi sensor has been replaced, they
should require adjustment.
Execute service mode under the following conditions to launch automatic adjustment:
1) Optical axis correction
- Service mode: SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > PRINT PATTERN > OPTICAL AXIS
Media type: Gloss photo paper
2) Paper gap adjustment
- Service mode: SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > GAP CALIB
3) Sensor correction for calibration
- Service mode: SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > SENSOR CALIB

4.5.3 Action to take after replacing the head management sensor
0013-7146

Since the distance between the head management sensor and the carriage unit varies among printers, the optical axis is factory-adjusted to adjust the non-discharging
detection position. When you have replaced the head management sensor or performed assembly/reassembly of surrounding parts that can change the distance between the head management sensor and the carriage unit, readjustment is required
Perform the readjustment in the service mode.
Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > NOZZLE CHK POS.

2. Precautions for Troubleshooting
1) Check the environmental conditions and the media used for printing.
2) Before performing troubleshooting, make sure that all connectors and cables are connected properly.
3) When servicing the printer with the external cover removed and the AC power supplied, be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and shorting electrical
devices.
4) In the following sections, the troubleshooting steps are described such that the component related to the most probable cause of the problem will be repaired or
replaced first, being followed by components with less problem probability. If multiple components have the same problem probability, the steps are described
begging with the easiest one.
After performing each step, check to see if the problem has been resolved by making test prints. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.
5) After completion of the troubleshooting, check that all connectors and cables have been reconnected and screws have been tightened firmly.
6) Whenever you have performed replacement or repair services, make test prints to check whether the problem has been resolved.

7.2 Special Mode
7.2.1 Special Modes for Servicing
This printer supports the following special modes in addition to the service mode:
- PCB replacement mode
- Download mode

0013-9804

1. PCB replacement mode
This mode is used when replacing the main controller PCB or maintenance cartridge relay PCB.
By executing this mode,
- Backup data of the settings and counter values stored in the maintenance cartridge relay PCB are moved to the new main controller PCB.
- The data such as the settings and counter values are copied to the maintenance cartridge relay PCB.
a) Entering the PCB replacement mode
Follow the same procedure as that for entering the service mode.
(With the "Paper Source" button and "Information" button pressed down, turn on the printer.)
When the printer starts up, compare the serial number memorized in the main PCB's EEPROM with that memorized in the maintenance cartridge relay PCB's EEPROM. If they do not match, or no serial number is memorized in either EEPROM, enter the PCB replacement mode.
While you are in the PCB replacement mode, the MESSAGE LED, roll media LED, and ONLINE LED are lit.
b) Procedure
Select "CPU BOARD" or "MC BOARD" using the [ ] and [ ] buttons, and then press the [OK] button to determine it.
- CPU BOARD
Select this after replacing the main controller PCB.
The data in the maintenance cartridge relay PCB is copied to the main controller PCB.
- MC BOARD
Select this before replacing the main controller PCB.
The data in the main PCB is copied to the maintenance cartridge relay PCB.
Use this when the maintenance cartridge relay PCB is a new one.
c) Exiting the PCB replacement mode
Turning off the Power button of the printer allows you to exit the PCB replacement mode.
For details on how to replace the PCB, see "Parts Replacement Procedure" > "Disassembly/Reassembly" > "Points to Note on Disassembly and Reassembly" >
"PCBs".
2. Download mode
Use this mode only when updating the firmware without performing initialization.
a) Entering the download mode
1) Turn off the printer.
2) With the "Stop" and "Information" buttons pressed down, turn on the printer.
b) Procedure
When "Download Mode/Send Firmware" is shown on the display, transfer the firmware.
When downloading of the firmware is completed, the printer will be turned off automatically.

0014-9474

The printer indicates errors using the display and LEDs.
If an error occurs during printing, the printer status is also displayed on the status monitor of the printer driver.
The following three types of errors are displayed on the display:
- Warning
Status where the print operation can be continued without remedying the cause of the problem. This can, however, adversely affect the printing results.
- Error
Status where the print operation is stopped, and the regular operation cannot be recovered until the cause of the problem is remedied.
- Service call error
When a service call error occurs, the error is not cleared and the error indication remains on the operation panel even if the printer is powered off and on again.
(Occurrence of the service call error is indicated again at power-on.)
This measure is taken to prevent user's recovery of the service call error and damages to the printer.
Service call errors can be cleared, however, by starting up the printer in the service mode.
For how to take actions against warnings and errors, refer to "Troubleshooting".
