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.

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.

C H E C K

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.
