2. LIST OF ERROR DISPLAY / INDICATION

Errors and warnings are displayed by the following ways:

1. Operator call errors are indicated by the Alarm LED lit in orange, and the error and its solution are displayed on the LCD in text and by icon.

2. Messages during printing from a computer are displayed on the MP driver Status Monitor.

3. Error codes are printed in the "operator call/service call error record" area in EEPROM information print

Buttons valid when an operator call error occurs:

1. ON/OFF button: To turn the machine off and on again.

2. OK button: To clear and recover from an error. In some operator call errors, the error will automatically be cleared when the cause of the error is eliminated, and pressing the OK button may not be necessary.

3. Stop/Reset button: To cancel the job at error occurrence, and to clear the error.

Replace the ink absorber, and reset its counter. [See 3-3. Adjustment / Settings, (6) Service

mode.]

Pressing the OK button will exit the error, and enable printing without replacing the ink absorber. However, when the ink absorber becomes full, no further printing can be performed unless the applicable ink absorber is replaced.

Remove the cable between the camera and the machine.

The paper length is not supported for duplex printing. Press the OK button to eject the paper being used at error occurrence. Data which was to be printed on the back side of paper at error occurrence is skipped (not printed).

Press the OK button to clear the error, then perform the automatic print head again. (In the MP610, use Matte Photo Paper MP-101.)

An ink tank which has once been empty is installed. Replace the applicable ink tank with a new one. Printing with a once-empty ink tank can damage the machine. To continue printing without replacing the ink tank(s), press the Stop/Reset button for 5 sec. or longer to disable the function to detect the remaining ink amount. After the operation, it is recorded in the machine EEPROM that the function to detect the remaining ink amount was disabled.

A non-supported ink tank is installed (the ink tank LED is turned off). Install the supported ink tanks.

A hardware error occurred in an ink tank (the ink tank LED is turned off). Replace the ink tank(s).

Replace the empty ink tank(s), and close the scanning unit (printer cover). Printing with an empty ink tank can damage the machine. To continue printing without replacing the ink tank(s), press the Stop/Reset button for 5 sec. or longer to disable the function to detect the remaining ink amount. After the operation, it is recorded in the machine that the function to detect the remaining ink amount was disabled.

Remove the applicable USB hub from the PictBridge (USB) connector.

*1: General notes:

- Make sure that the flexible cables and wires in the harness are in the proper position and connected correctly. See 3-2.

Special Notes on Repair Servicing or the Parts Catalog for details.

- Do not drop the ferrite core, which may cause damage.

- Protect electrical parts from damage due to static electricity.

- Before removing a unit, after removing the power cord, allow the machine to sit for approx. 1 minute (for capacitor discharging to protect the logic board ass'y from damages).

- Do not touch the timing slit strip film, timing slit disk film, and timing slit disk eject film. No grease or abrasion is allowed.

- Protect the units from soiled with ink.

- Protect the housing from scratches.

- For the MP610 automatic print head alignment, use Matte Photo Paper (MP-101) to ensure alignment accuracy.

- Exercise caution with the screws, as follows:

i. The screws of the paper feed motor may be loosened only at replacement of the paper feed motor unit (DO

NOT loosen them in other cases).

After replacement:

1. Perform print head alignment in the user mode.

- Service test print

ii. DO NOT loosen the red screws on both sides of the main chassis, securing the carriage shaft positioning

(they are not adjustable in servicing)

Be sure to protect the machine from static electricity in repair servicing, especially the LCD, operation panel board, scanner unit, logic board, card board, and IrDA board.

(1) External housing, scanner unit, and document cover removal

1) Remove the cassette.

2) Open the front door and scanner unit, then remove the side cover R (3 screws). <While slightly pulling up the back of the scanner unit, remove the side cover R. The side cover R holds the scanner unit

hinge.>

3) Remove the document cover (document pressure plate unit). <While slightly pushing the left and right hinges toward the center, pull the cover upward to remove it. The cover will not

be removed just by pulling it.>

4) Remove the side cover L (3 screws).

15 / 43

<The side cover L holds the scanner unit hinge.> <Since the pressure of the scanner lock arm spring is in the upward direction, hold the scanner unit while removing the side

cover.>

5) Remove the scanner unit.

(2) Operation panel removal

18 / 43

1) Remove the screws from the bottom of the document cover (7 screws). <Remove the top cover from the base, while exercising caution not to break the claws.>

2) Remove the panel frame from the top cover (6 screws). <The FFC core is fixed to the unit with filament tape, as shown in the photo.> <Pull the operation panel cover upward to remove it. There are 4 claws each in the front and in the back.>

3) Remove the LCD and panel board from the panel frame.

19 / 43

<Using longnose pliers, hold the LCD hinge through its two holes. While moving the hinge to compress the spring, remove

the LCD from the panel frame.>

4) Remove the Easy-Scroll Wheel from the panel board. <Be cautious not to touch the grease between the wheel and the wheel base.>

See 3-3. Adjustment / Settings, (3) Grease application.

(3) Cable wiring and connection

20 / 43

1) Wiring on the right side <The cables are fit in the bottom case> <Be cautious of the position of the screw that fixes the ground wire. The ground wire passes through the same cores as the

card harness.>

2) Seen from the back side of the machine (Note the DC

harness position.)

3) Right side of the machine (AC adapter and bottom case removed)

(4) Emblem removal

21 / 43

Push the emblem bottom to remove from the double-sided adhesive tape.

(5) Printer unit separation from the bottom case (how to remove the screw under the purge unit)

1) Rotate the purge unit gear toward the rear side of the machine to unlock the carriage.

2) Slide the carriage to the opposite of the home position (to the left), and remove the screw.

3-3. Adjustment / Settings

(1) Paper feed motor adjustment

1) When attaching the motor, fasten the screws so that the belt is properly stretched (in the direction indicated by the blue arrow in the photo below).

2) After replacement, be sure to perform the service test print, and confirm that no strange noise or faulty print operation (due to dislocation of the belt or gear, or out-of-phase motor, etc.) occurs.

- The screws securing the paper feed motor may be loosened only at replacement of the paper feed motor unit. DO NOT loosen them in other cases.

(2) Document pressure plate sheet (sponge sheet) replacement

1) Peel off the cover sheet from the double-sided adhesive tape on the back of the document pressure plate sheet. With the long-side down, position the lower-right corner of the document pressure plate sheet at the scanning reference point on the platen glass (front right where the red lines cross in the photo above).

2) Slowly close the document pressure plate while maintaining the hinge position. The document pressure plate sheet will attach to the plate.

3) Open the plate to confirm the following:

- No extension of the sponge edges over the mold part of the upper scanner cover.

- No gap between the platen glass reference edges and the corresponding sponge edges.

Before replacement of the logic board, check the ink absorber counter value, and register it to the replaced new logic board. (The value can be set in 10% increments.) In addition, according to the ink absorber counter value, replace the ink absorber (ink absorber kit). When the ink absorber is replaced, reset the applicable ink absorber counter (to 0%).

- How to check the ink absorber counter value:

See 3-4. Verification Items, (1) Service test print.

- How to set the ink absorber counter:

See 3-3. Adjustment / Settings, (6) Service mode, "Ink absorber counter setting."
