7. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING IN ASIA

7-1. Resetting the Main and Platen Waste Ink Counters

The iP2000 has separate waste ink counters for the main waste ink absorber and the platen waste ink absorber, respectively. At waste ink absorber replacement, in the service mode, reset the applicable waste ink counter according to the replaced waste ink absorber. (When both the main and platen waste ink absorbers are replaced, reset both the main and platen waste ink counters.)

For the main waste ink absorber, a new design has been adopted so that a half portion of the main waste ink absorber can be replaced just by removing the printer housing. When compared with replacement of the entire main waste ink absorber, replacement of the half portion is extremely simple and easy, as it does not require removal of other components such as the chassis and ASF. The printable number of pages after replacement of the half portion of the main waste ink absorber is 2,000 pages. According to the above, 2 methods are available for replacement of the main waste ink absorber, and the main waste ink counter should be reset according to the replacement method.

- Replacement of the half of the main waste ink absorber:

Easy, and the printable number of pages after the replacement is approx. 2,000.

- Replacement of the entire main waste ink absorber:

Difficult, and the printable number of pages after the replacement is approx. 4,000.

After replacement, the main or platen waste ink counter should be reset according to the replaced absorber portion.

Replaced waste ink absorber Waste ink counter value

Entire main waste ink absorber Reset the main waste ink counter (0%). Half of the main waste ink absorber* Re-set the main waste ink counter value to 50%. Entire platen waste ink absorber Reset the platen waste ink counter (0%).

* How to replace half of the main waste ink absorber:

1. Remove the upper cover unit.

2. Replace the 4 ink absorbers (2 types, equivalent to half of the main waste ink absorber), shown in the figure below.

1. Error check Perform EEPROM information printing, and check the following values:

- D: Main waste ink counter

- PD: Platen waste ink counter

2. Replace the applicable waste ink absorber(s).

3. Reset the waste ink counter. For waste ink counter resetting procedures, see 4. ADJUSTMENT / SETTINGS, 4-2. Service Mode.

Replaceable half portion (4 ink absorbers)

fter the half portion is replaced, re-set the

Remove the packing material fixing the carriage.

Open the access cover, and install the ink tanks properly.

1. Perform roller cleaning from the printer driver.

2. Change the paper feed method by the Paper Feed switch.

3. Clean the paper feed roller with moistened cloth.

1. Fan the paper and set them.

2. In case of PR-101, set the paper sheet by sheet.

1. Perform roller cleaning from the printer driver.

2. Clean the paper feed roller with moistened cloth.

3. Reduce the number of envelopes loaded in the ASF.

4. Flatten the envelope (with a pen).

Set a sheet of Credit Card size paper in the ASF with the longer edge in vertical orientation, and press the Resume/Cancel button. When using the ASF, remove the jammed paper from the paper pick-up side. When using the front sheet feeder, open the rear cover, and remove the jammed paper.

The user may not have removed the packing material at unpacking and installation. Although a caution sheet is packaged together with the printer, the user may not have noticed it. Note: Even if the packing material

remains, no parts are damaged. Since the user did not seat the ink tanks completely at unpacking, installation, or ink tank replacement, the ink tank contacts the main case.

The paper feed roller slips on the paper at paper feeding, or the Paper Feed switch setting is not correct. Note: Camera Direct Printing is available

only when paper feeds from the

ASF. In the high temperature and high humidity environment, the frictional force between the front and back sides of paper becomes high, and sheets stick to each other, contributing to multi-feeding. The paper feed roller slips on the paper at paper feeding. Note: Depending on the paper lots. This

phenomenon may occur in DL

envelope.

When Credit Card size paper is set with the shorter edge in vertical orientation, the paper does not reach the LF roller, and the paper is not fed. As the LF roller slips on the paper, the paper is not fed, causing the jam error at paper ejecting.

1. Recommend printing in the print quality assurance area.

2. Change the print quality from standard to high mode.

3. Try other paper (PP-101)

Change the print quality from standard to high mode.

The edge of paper rises due when paper is curled, causing the print head to rub against the printed surface of paper, resulting in smearing.

When borderless printing is conducted continuously, ink mist attaches to the ribs on the platen, and is transferred to the backside of the following paper.

When the paper end comes off the pinch roller, printing is performed without the paper being held, preventing the ink drops from being ejected in the correct positions, resulting in unevenness. Note: The problem is less noticeable

than that of the i320. As the print media slightly slips while being fed by the LF roller, printed areas overlap, causing the problem.

Page 17

8-2. Major Functions

(1) Borderless printing (up to A4 and LTR sizes)

- Smearing on the address side of postcards in continuous borderless printing on the message side.

-> Perform bottom plate cleaning, and clean the ribs on the platen.

- Smearing on the backside of paper in continuous borderless printing.

-> Perform bottom plate cleaning, and clean the ribs on the platen.

- Ink mist on the platen.

-> Perform bottom plate cleaning, and clean the ribs on the platen.

(2) 2 types of paper path feeding (paper feeding from the ASF and front sheet feeder)

The printer has 2 paper feeding methods, from the ASF and from the front sheet feeder. Paper feeding from the front sheet feeder does not support,

- paper size smaller than A5,

- Camera Direct Printing, and

- printing on the back side of paper in duplex printing.

- “No paper” error due to incorrect Paper Feed switch setting (such as when the Resume/Cancel button is pressed after Paper Feed switch setting).

Printer driver default setting: Paper Source is set to Paper Feed Switch. Printer’s Paper Feed switch default setting: ASF Paper feed setting priority: Printer driver setting over printer’s Paper Feed switch setting

- Paper feed problem due to incorrect paper size setting (the front sheet feeder supports only A5- or larger-sized paper).

(3) Remaining ink level detection function

The printer has a function to detect the remaining ink level. (Default setting: ON)

Detection method: Dot counting (Counted for each BK/CL ink tank) CL tank: The remaining ink level is detected by total counted dot values of 3

colors of ink. Display method: Displayed on the Status Monitor (at 3 levels listed below for each BK/CL ink tank) Level 1: Half level of remaining ink level (Approx. 40% of ink remaining) Level 2: Indication of “!” mark (Approx. 10% of ink remaining) Level 3: Indication of “?” mark (Remaining ink level is unknown, ink may be

used up anytime) Note: Remaining ink detection function displays the status only, and does not

cause errors. Accuracy: The margin of error of detection accuracy is +/-10% in normal printing. The margin of error is likely to be large in the following specific print patterns: When printing continuously using any one of the CMY colors of ink

-> As the remaining ink level is calculated by total counted dot values of 3

colors of ink, if any of the C/M/Y inks is heavily consumed, the margin of error for remaining ink increases.

When performing continuous BK solid printing

-> With continuous printing, ink flow from the tank to the ink chamber can be

interrupted, after which ink remains unused in the tank.

Reset procedure: Perform the following operations from the printer driver’s Maintenance tab:

1. In Low Ink Warning Setting, enable Display low ink warning.

2. In Ink Counter Reset, reset the applicable ink counter(s). Note: Be sure to reset the ink counter from the printer driver’s Maintenance tab

after replacing ink tanks.

- Due to user error, the actual remaining ink level does not match the indicated remaining ink level, resulting in “ink out”, etc.

User error: Forgetting to reset the ink counter / ink counter reset other than when replacing ink

tanks.

- Due to the specific print pattern, the actual remaining ink level does not match the indicated remaining ink level, resulting in “ink out”.

Specific print pattern: Continuous printing using any one of the CMY colors of ink / continuous

BK solid printing, etc.

(4) Print head deep cleaning

The printer has a print head deep cleaning (refreshing) function.

Print head deep cleaning (refreshing): This is a deep cleaning function in order to resolve print failure due to ink clogging

the print head. (The black ink is pigment-based, and clogs easier than other dye-based ink.)

Perform from the printer driver’s Maintenance tab.

- Excessive ink consumption when conducting print head deep cleaning repeatedly. (The amount of ink used is approx. 10 to 15 times the normal manual cleaning amount.)

(5) Print head alignment

The printer has a print head alignment function (print head position adjustment function). As it is not necessary to perform print head alignment at setup or installation of the printer, the function is only briefly introduced at installation.

Print head alignment: This is a function to correct displacements between the nozzle lines of the

print head, and incorrect print position at bi-directional printing.

The adjustment is conducted using the printed head position adjustment

pattern. A: Print head alignment between black even and odd nozzles B: Print head alignment between cyan even and odd large nozzles C: Print head alignment between magenta even and odd large nozzles D: Print head alignment between cyan even and odd small nozzles E: Print head alignment between magenta even and odd small nozzles F: Print head alignment in bi-directional black printing G: Print head alignment of large nozzles in color bi-directional printing H: Print head alignment between black and photo black nozzles
