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 fi eld. Ther efore, the operations of the microprocessors used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of fro m 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."

1.2.10 Media take-up unit

iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100
0013-9216
Media take-up unit
The media take-up unit takes up roll media, ranging in width from 17 to 60 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. 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.

1.2.11 Hard disk drive

iPF9000
0012-6687
Each print job received from the host computer is saved to the 40GB hard disk drive(parallel ATA connection) attache d to t he pr inter, so the printer can print the job repeatedly as needed, without having to wait for its retransmission from the host computer.
Saving print jobs will offer the following benefits:
- Eased computer workload A print job may be automatically preserved to the hard disk when printing or may be preserved to the hard disk without printing. A print job preserve d can be printed in as many copies as needed without having to use the host computer.
- Reprinting after error occurrence If the printer encounters errors, such as paper out, while printing a print job, it can resume the print operation as soon as the errors are cleared, without needing its retransmission from the host computer.
- Higher print work eff iciency Print jobs can be printed selectively or in a specified number of copies without using a host computer. Multiple print jobs can be printed batched. Unattended print operations in the nighttime are also possible.

1.2.12 Hard disk drive

iPF9000S / iPF9100 Each print job received from the host computer is saved to the 80GB hard disk drive(serial ATA connection) attached to the printer, so the printer can print the job

- Eased computer workload A print job may be automatically preserved to the hard disk when printing or may be preserved to the hard disk without printing. A print job preserve d can be
