Symbols Used

This documentation uses the following symbols to indicate special information:

Symbol Description

Indicates an item of a non-specific nature, possibly classified as Note, Caution, or Warning.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid electric shocks.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid combustion (fire).

Indicates an item prohibiting disassembly to avoid electric shocks or problems.

Indicates an item requiring disconnection of the power plug from the electric outlet.

Indicates an item intended to provide notes assisting the understanding of the topic in question.

Memo

Introduction

REF.

Indicates an item of reference assisting the understanding of the topic in question.

Provides a description of a service mode.

Provides a description of the nature of an error indication.

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 Features

1.2.1 Features

- High resolutions of 2,400 x 1,200 dpi maximum, coupled with the exceptionally light-fast, water-proof and ozone-proof five-color pigment inks of Y, M, C, PBK and MBK, deliver high-quality photographic picture quality.

- Black ink suitable for the selected media type is automatically selected from two types of black ink, "black ink" for vivid and glossy printing and "matte black ink" for matte and high-quality printing.

- A 160-by-128-dot-large LCD

- One-inch wide printhead having 2,560 nozzles per color, which are as many as the those of the existing models. High-density printhead technology "FINE" that can satisfy both of beautiful and fast printing requirements of a high order is employed for accurate ejection of ultrasmall 4-pl drops of ink to the target positions. Prints with 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution can be made at a high speed.

- Imaging processor "L-COA" incorporated for high-speed image data processing. High-speed processing of 5-color, 12-bit large-size images and printer control for high-accuracy operation of high-density head can be performed with a single chip.

- Standard support for 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T and USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.

- Borderless printing on and auto cutting of roll media.

- All operations such as loading the roll media and cut sheet and replacing the ink tank can be carried out at the front (top) of the printer.

- The printer can be installed with its back in touch with the wall, requiring no installation space at the back of the printer.

- A subtank mounted at the ink port allows you to replace the ink tank during printing.

- The pressure of suction from the borderless printing ink catch groove changes automatically with the media size, preventing shift of media edges and staining of the backside of the media.

- A printhead having nozzles (I-shaped nozzle) with a new shape reduces ink mist, ensuring superfine printing.

- Compatibility with e-maintenance/imageWARE Remote allows centralized management of customers' printer information.

0028-0098

- The newly designed operation panel allows you to operate the printer intuitively.

Functional enhancements new to this model include:

- The processing ability of the printed data will enhance by improvement of throughput.

1.2.2 Printhead

The printhead that mounts on the carriage is an integrated six-color disposable printhead. It has 5,120 nozzles for MBK and 2,560 nozzles for each additional color arranged in a staggered pattern.

0013-2741

If print quality remains unimproved even after a specified cleaning operation, replace the printhead.

F-1-2

1.2.3 Ink Tank

The ink tank is disposable. There are four dye-based ink colors (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) and one pigment-based ink color (matte black). This printer features a mechanism by which only the correct color ink tank will fit in the given slot. When the message that ink tank is empty is displayed, replace the ink tank with a new one.

1.2.4 Cutter

The cutter attached to the cutter unit is a round cutter.
