1.7.3.7 Print Layout
The memory card direct print function supports two print layouts for printing images;
Borderless, and With Border. The Borderless layout is not allowed for some type of
paper (refer to Table 1-41 and Table 1-42). And see “ 1.2.5 Printing Area ” (p.23) for
information on the print area and margins of “Borderless” and “With Border” layouts.
Trimming Function
A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating an image with the
types of photo frames handled by the printer. This function can be switched On/
Off. This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and an image to be printed are matched in length along
one side and the image is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on
that side. Any part of the image that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed
away (not printed). However, if the number of pixels of the longer side of the
image are more than twice as long as the shortest side, the trimming function is not
effective when printing even the trimming is set. The trimming function is always
set On if borderless or upper half layout is selected.

Rules on Numbering and Rotating Images
The numbers shown in the figure below indicate the photo frame numbers used for
the print layout. Horizontally oriented images are printed as shown by the
numbers. Vertically oriented images, which has more pixels vertically than
horizontally, the vertical photo data is allocated instead, and the number shown in
the figure below is then rotated 90 degrees before being printed. In Index printing
mode, the numbers are printed as they are shown below, regardless of the shape of
the photo data.
However, when the photo data has an equal number of pixels vertically and
horizontally the photos are printed without rotation, regardless of the layout.
NOTE: The vertical photo data refers to when the photo data file itself is set for a
vertical (portrait) orientation. Photo data is defined as the vertical photo
data if it is taken by a digital camera with a portrait position detecting
function.)

2.2 Power-On Sequence
This section describes the power-on sequences in two conditions. The sequences for
these three series are basically similar with the exception of the CR lock setting
sequence (operation 8); therefore, they are described based on NX510 series in the
following conditions.
Condition 1: Normal power-on sequence (refer to Table 2-4)
Turning on the printer after turning it off without an error.
Completing ink charge.
No paper on the paper path.
The Printhead is capped with the Cap of the Ink System.
The Carriage is fixed by the CR Lock.
NOTE: For SX410/SX210 series, the CR lock setting sequence (operation 8)
differs from the sequence for NX510 series.
Condition 2: Power-on sequence after recovering from a paper jam error
(refer to Table 2-5)
Turning on the printer after turning it off with a paper jam error.
There still remains paper on the paper path out of the detecting area of the PE
sensor.
NOTE: For SX410 series, the detecting remaining paper sequence (operation 6)
is not implemented.

3.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to solve problems.
To avoid electric shocks, be careful when checking the electrical
N GW A R N I
circuit boards below while the power is on.
Touching an FET, transistor or heat sink with one hand while
touching a metal part of the mechanism with the other hand
could result in an electric shock, so carefully avoid this.
After initial filling of ink has been repeated several times,
immediate moving or tilting of the printer could result in
leaking of ink that has not been completely absorbed by the
Waste Ink Pad. When initial filling of ink has been repeated
several times, check the ink remaining in the tip of the Waste
Ink Tube and the waste ink not absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad
before moving the printer.

P O I N T
Disassembly and reassembly of parts is often required when
identifying the causes of problems. The parts should be
disassembled and re-assembled correctly while referring to
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.95) so that the operation
and status of each check item can be correctly verified.
Some individual part and units may require adjustment once
they are removed or replaced. If removing or replacing parts
which have specific instructions for adjustment included in
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.95), be sure to make these
adjustments after repairing the problem location.
In this chapter, the product names are called as follows:
Basically, description of this chapter is based on NX510/SX410/
SX210 series, but the remedies and instructions in the
checkpoints can be applied to NX420/NX220 series in the same
manner. For NX420 series; however, the number and the
location of the connectors on the Main Board differ from those
for other models. Therefore, use the number and the location of
the connectors as appropriate for NX420 series.

Motors
The resistance values for the CR motor and the PF motor are given below, however, the
values cannot be used to check the motors status since they are DC motor and the
resistance between the electric poles varies. Visually check the motors for abnormal
operation and if it is hard to judge, replace the motor.
