1.3.3.3 Multi-slot Operations
Overview
Only one card is accessible from the computer and available for direct
printing at a time even though several different cards can be inserted into their
corresponding slots.
The slots have assigned priority to determine which slot will be accessed first
when cards are inserted in several slots at once.
To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, the card in the
active slot must be removed first.
• Direct printing:
Only the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame
numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is also inserted in
a non-selected slot.
• Connection to computer (Windows):
Only one drive is displayed at a time as a “removable disk” and only the
card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the removable disk. A card
that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed.
• Connection to computer (Macintosh):
Only the card in the active slot can be mounted on the desktop. A card that
has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be mounted on the desktop.
Details
Access priority
The access priority among slots is assigned as:
1: CF (Micro Drive)
2: SmartMedia/xD-Picture Card
3: Memory Stick (Memory Stick PRO)/SD (MMC)
Slot selection when power is turned on
If cards are inserted in several slots when the power is turned on, the active
slot is determined by the priority ranks listed above.
Example: If SmartMedia and Memory Stick are both inserted at power-on, the
SmartMedia slot becomes the active slot.
Slot selection after power is turned on
When a card is removed from the active slot, the slot with the next-highest
priority becomes the active slot (if a card has been inserted into it). There is no
need to re-insert any card before accessing it. If no slots contain any cards, the
highest-priority slot (CF Micro Drive) again becomes the active slot.
Cards can be removed from non-selected slots in any order.
Example: If a memory stick and CF card are inserted while SmartMedia is
selected, CF becomes selected (active) once SmartMedia is
removed.

1.5 Memory Card Print
1.5.1 Basic Specifications
1.5.1.1 File System
DCF Version 1.0 is the only file system that can be used with the product's stand-alone
printing functions. Operation is not guaranteed when any other file system is used.
The file system used by the card reader function depends on the host's specifications.
For a detailed description of the DCF specifications, see “Design Rule for Camera File
System Standard, DCF Version 2.0, JEIDA-CP-3461”.
1.5.1.2 Media Format
Media must be formatted according to DCF Version 1.0 or 2.0 standard.
DOS FAT formats (FAT12, FAT16) and single partition (basic partition)
1.5.1.3 File Formats
The file formats supported by the product are described below.
JPEG files (*.JPG)
These are photo data files that comply with the Exif Version 2.21. (Exif version
1.0/2.0/2.1/2.2/2.21)
Camera specification files (*.MRK)
These are definition files used when in camera specification mode. An
“AUTOPRINT.MRK” file whose full path name is no longer than 32 characters is
valid.
Note, however, any file that is saved in the following directories or their sub-directories
cannot be included as files to be printed.
Directories containing system properties or hidden properties
Directories that contain any double-byte characters in the directory name
“RECYCLED”: Windows directory for deleted files
“PREVIEW”: Directories containing CASIO’s DSC thumbnail images
“SCENE”: Directories containing data for CASIO’s DSC Best Shot function
“MSSONY”: Directories containing SONY’s DSC e-mail image data, voice
memos, video files, or non-compressed images
1.5.1.4 Valid Image Size
The maximum image size handled by the product is:
Horizontal: 80 X 9200 (pixels)
Vertical: 80 Y 9200 (pixels)
1.5.1.5 Maximum Number of Photo Data Files
The product can handle up to 999 photo data files. If the amount of photo data to be
recorded exceeds the capacity of one memory card, the product uses file sorting rules
to sort the photo data into valid photo data in frames numbered from 1 to 999.
Although it is possible to print photo data files with frame numbers over 999 that have
been specified for printing by camera specification files, the maximum number of
frames that can be specified is 999 frames.
If you insert a memory card that contains over 999 photo data files, only files up to 999
will be printed by the “Print All” or “Print index sheet” functions.
1.5.1.6 Thumbnail Image Data
The product handles thumbnail image data in the DCF Version 1.0 or 2.0 format (Exif
format, 160 x 120 pixels).
During the product's Index Sheet and memory card printing modes, the layout is 80
thumbnails per sheet (when using plain paper or special paper in high-speed print
mode).
1.5.1.7 File Sorting
The product stores all photo data files in the memory, using the photo data files' fullpath file names (for example, “\CIM\100EPSON\EPSN0000.JPG”), and assigned
photo frame numbers. Since photo frame numbers are assigned based on the product's
own proprietary file sorting rules, the assigned frame numbers do not necessarily
match those indicated by digital cameras.
“DCIM¥ALBUM¥IMAGE”: Directories containing CASIO’s DSC album data
save directory.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Memory Card Print 32
Page 33
EPSON Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F/CX6900F/CX7000F/DX7000F Revision D
1.5.1.8 File Sorting Rules
The product sorts photo data files based on the following prioritization rule.
File name is sorted in ASCII order as full path name.
NOTE: Sorting results are not guaranteed if two files have the same full-path file
names. (The same full-path file names are not allowed under the DOS
specification.)
1.5.1.9 Rules for Acquisition of Date/Time Data
The following priorities are used to fetch date and time information from photo data files.
1. Date/time data that complies with the standard format (Exif) for digital
cameras
2. Date/time data that complies with the DOS standard file system (file time
stamps)
3. Fixed values (01/01/1980, 00:00:00)
Note that the date/time data assigned to individual photo data files does not necessarily
match the date/time when the photo was actually taken. The photo date/time may be
modified due to the digital camera's calendar settings (presence/absence of functions,
incorrect date/time settings, etc.), processing of the photo data after the photo was
taken, or subsequent saving of data. In such cases, the product performs the relevant
processing based on the most recently modified date/time data.

1.5.3.1 Rules for Scanning Index Sheets
Index Sheet scan range
Setting an index sheet in scanner
• Place the sheet face down on the scan bed as described below.
Align the corner of the sheet to the upper left origin point on the scan bed
and make sure the sheet is not skewed. Skewed sheet is allowed as long as
the sheet remains within the scan bed's scan range (the maximum skewing
angle is about 2.8°).
• The cover must be closed on the original to enable scanning. (This is to
prevent any shifting of the position marks while scanning).
• Do not use paper that allows images to “bleed through” to the rear side.
(This is to prevent empty bubbles from being filled in by “bleed-through”.)

marks
• When two or three marks of one image are filled, larger number will be used
for the number of copies. (ex. 1 and 3 are filled, number of copies is 3.)
• When the optional “ALL” mark is filled, all images in the sheet will be
printed one by one regardless of each image mark is filled or not.
• Index Sheet error will be caused when any of image mark or “ALL” mark is
not filled.
• Index Sheet error will be caused when “Left and right edges”, “Right top
EPSON” and “Block codes” are not found correctly due to something like
smear.
• Place the index sheet so that the “Left top triangle” can meet the left top
corner of the scanner.
<OK/NG mark samples>
• The marks can be recognized if 50 % or more portion of each of them is
filled.
• For running out and excessive marking out, the two white/black search
patterns shown above are superimposed on the mark, and judgment is made
according to this matching ratio. The judgment criteria is as follows.
Black matching: 80 % or more White matching: 50% or more.
Errors during scanning or printing of index sheets
• Stops scanning and returns to the menu screen if the card is removed while
an index sheet is being scanned or printed.
• Index Sheet error (No index sheet) is displayed if the sheet cannot be
scanned because it is dirty, set backwards, etc.
• Index Sheet error (Incorrect marking) is displayed if the image bubbles
cannot be read because they are not filled in correctly.
• Index Sheet error (Incorrect card) is displayed if, after printing an index
sheet, you try to print from a non-matching memory card, such as a different
(replacement) card or a re-edited version of the same card.

A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating photo data with the types
of photo frames handled by the product. This function is always activated so that
printing photo data is in shapes that fit these photo frames.
This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and the photo to be printed are matched in length along one
side and the photo is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on that side.
Any part of the photo that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed away (not
printed).
The functions below will be available by marking to options on the index sheet.
Prints all photos one by one shown on the index sheet.

1.5.7 Assignment Rules for Photo Frame Numbers and Rotation
The rules concerning photo frame numbers that are referred to when assigning photos are
described below. The numbers shown in each diagram and photo frame below indicate the
photo frame numbers used for various types of layout.
The direction of the number shown in each photo frame matches the direction of the
printed photo to which the horizontal photo data was allocated. When there are more pixels
vertically than horizontally, the vertical photo data is allocated instead, and the number
shown in the figure below is then rotated 90° 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.)

2.2.2 Printhead
The Printhead is the same D4-CHIPS type as the previous SPC and makes it possible to
perform economy dot printing and variable dot printing.
The Printhead nozzle configuration is as follows.
Nozzle layout
Black : 90 nozzles x 1 row
Color : 90 nozzles x 3 row/color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)
The nozzle layout when viewed from the back surface of the Printhead is shown below.
The basic operating principles of the Printhead, which plays a major role in printing,
are the same as the previous printer; on-demand method which uses PZT (Piezo
Electric Element). The Printhead has its own Head ID (13-digit code for this Printhead
for Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F, 20-digit code for Stylus CX6900F/CX7000F/
DX7000F) which adjusts PZT voltage drive features to address unit-to-unit variation of
the head.
So, you are required to store the Head ID pasted on the Printhead into the EEPROM by
using the Adjustment Program when replacing the Printhead, the Main Board Unit, the
Printer Mechanism with new one. (Note: there are no resistor arrays to determine the
Head ID on the Main Board (ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808).) And then, based on the
stored Head ID into the EEPROM, the Main Board (ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808)
generates appropriate PZT drive voltage.
Following explains the basic components for the Printhead.
PZT
PZT is an abbreviation of Piezo Electric Element. Based on the drive waveform
generated on the Main Board, the PZT selected by the nozzle selector IC on the
Printhead pushes the top of the ink cavity, which has ink stored, to eject the ink
from each nozzle on the nozzle plate.
Electric poles for CSIC
This Electric Poles connects the CSIC chip mounted on the Ink Cartridge. By
using this poles, current ink consumption amount data is read out from the CSIC
chip. And, the latest ink consumption amount data is written into the CSIC chip.
Nozzle Plate
Figure 2-2. Nozzle layout
The plate with nozzle holes on the Printhead surface is called Nozzle Plate.
Filter
The Printhead has the Electric Poles (CSIC Connectors) to store the ink consumption
amount data into the CSIC chip mounted on the Ink Cartridge. By storing the ink
consumption amount data, this printer can detect the ink consumption status, such as
Ink Low/Out condition.
When the Ink Cartridge is installed, if any dirt or dust around the cartridge needle
is absorbed into the Printhead, there is a great possibility of causing nozzle clog
and disturbance of ink flow, and alignment failure and dot missing finally. To
prevent this problem, a filter is set under the cartridge needle.

2.2.2.1 Printing Process
This section explains the process which the Printheads of On-Demand inkjet printers
eject ink from each nozzle.
1. Normal state:
2. Ejecting state:
OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Mechanism 62
When the printing signal is not output from the Main Board (ASSY SP MAIN
BOARD 8808), or the PZT drive voltage is not applied, the PZT does not change
the shape. Therefore, the PZT does not push the ink cavity. The ink pressure inside
the ink cavity is kept normal. (refer to Figure 2-4 (p.62): Normal state)
When the print signal is output from Main Board (ASSY SP MAIN BOARD
8808), the nozzle selector IC located on the Printhead latches the data once by 1byte unit. Based on the drive waveform (common voltage) generated on the Main
Board, the PZT selected by the nozzle selector IC pushes the top of the ink cavity.
By this operation, the ink stored in the ink cavity is ejected from nozzles. (refer to
Figure 2-4 (p.62): Ejecting state)
Figure 2-4. Printhead printing process
2.2.2.2 Printing Method
The dot printing systems of EPSON Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F/CX6900F/CX7000F/
DX7000F are variable dot printing systems.
Variable dot printing
This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on exclusive paper.
This mode is basically the same as variable dot printing mode used on other
products; micro dot, middle dot and large dot compose this mode. The printing dot
size varies according to the print data and this mode enables to output even sharper
image on exclusive paper.

2.2.3 Carriage Mechanism
The Carriage Mechanism consists of Carriage Unit (including the Printhead, CR
Encoder Board and PW Sensor), CR Motor, Timing Belt and CR Scale etc.
Following figure shows you each component for the CR Mechanism.
2.2.3.1 Carriage Mechanism
The following DC motor controls the CR Mechanism on this printer.
Table 2-1. Carriage Motor specification
Items Specifications
Type DC motor with brushes
Drive Voltage 42 V (DC) ± 5 % (voltage applied to driver)
Armature resistance 29.1 Ω ± 10 %
Inductance 20.1 mH ± 25 %
Drive Method PWM, constant-current chopping
Driver IC A6615
Close loop control based on the CR Motor (DC Motor) and CR Encoder has
advantages in stabilized print quality.
Heat generation control
Using low-cost DC motors, this product grasps the variations of the torque
constants, coil resistances and power supply voltages of the individual DC motors
adequately to carry out heat generation control according to individual differences.
CR variation measurement sequence
The variations of the torque constant, coil resistance and power supply voltage of
the motor are measured in a CR variation measurement sequence when the CR
mechanical load is in the initial status and saved into the EEPROM. According to
the variations (individual differences) measured in this sequence, the voltage is
corrected to make the drive current value constant (without an individual
difference).
CR measurement sequence
To set the appropriate drive current value according to the variation of the CR
mechanical load, the mechanical load is measured in a CR measurement sequence
and saved into the EEPROM in a power-on or I/C change sequence. A fatal error
will occur if too much load is applied to the CR drive system.
The above control and sequences correct the drive current value of the CR Motor
according to not only the mechanical load but also the variations of the motor and like.
In addition, the resultant CR drive current value is used to calculate a heating value,
and when the specified heating value is reached, wait time is provided per CR path for
printing.

2.2.3.2 Carriage Home Position Detection
Like other conventional models, the carriage home position is detected using the CR
Motor drive current and the CR Encoder speed/position signals. Fundamental home
position detection sequence is described below.
1. Current position temporary detection sequence determines if the carriage is in the
carriage lock position and releases the carriage if it is locked.
2. The carriage is moved to the left frame hit position and the carriage motor is
stopped.
3. The position that is specified steps right from the stopping place is defined as an
origin, and from that time, positional information is monitored by the linear
encoder.
If the positional information could not be gained during detecting carriage home
position due to the following causes, fatal error occurs.
• Obstructions on the carriage path or other factors are giving too much
pressure on the CR motor.
• CR linear encoder failure, CR linear scale defect, etc.
2.2.3.3 Sequence Used for PW Detection
The PW (paper width detection) Sensor installed on the Carriage Unit bottom is used to
control the printer according to various sequences.
The following briefly describes the PW Sensor operating principle.
A dark voltage is measured by the PW Sensor in three places on the right end plane
(area without the absorber) of the Front Paper Guide every time power is switched on,
and the measurement values are saved into the EEPROM as threshold values.
Threshold value > detection voltage: Paper present
Threshold value < detection voltage: Paper absent
The following sequences are performed.
Paper Left/Right Edge Detection Control
Before start of printing (immediately after the end of paper locating), or during
printing, whether paper is present or not is detected to prevent off-paper printing
on the Paper Guide by borderless printing used in a wrong way.
Paper Top Edge Detection Control
Detects paper leading edge at start of printing. Also sets the amount of extension
for the paper leading edge during borderless printing.
Paper Bottom Edge Detection Control
Sets the amount of extension for the paper trailing edge during printing.

The drive of the PF motor is transmitted to the LD roller shaft and the PF roller through
gears for the Paper loading/feeding mechanism. The Paper loading mechanism plays a
role in loading a paper from the ASF unit to the PF roller. And also, the Paper feeding
mechanism plays a role in feeding a paper loaded from the ASF unit. The functions of
the Paper loading/feeding mechanism varies depending on the rotational direction of
the PF motor as the table below.

For your reference, the top or the end of a paper is usually detected with the PE Sensor.
In case that the PE Sensor cannot detect the top of a paper in the paper loading
sequence, the printer indicates the “Paper Out error”. If the PE Sensor cannot detect the
end of a paper in the paper feeding sequence, the printer indicates the “Paper Jam
error”. As for the details, refer to Chapter 3
“TROUBLESHOOTING”.
2.2.4.1 Paper Loading Mechanism
The Paper loading mechanism consists of the Change Lever in the Pump Unit, the
Holder Shaft Unit (including the Clutch mechanism) and the ASF Unit.
The Change Lever and the Clutch mechanism play a major role in the Paper loading
mechanism as follows.
1. ASF home position detection function
The ASF Unit on this printer does not have the ASF Home Position Sensor.
Instead of the ASF Home Position Sensor, the Change Lever and the Clutch
mechanism is used to detect the ASF home position.
When the Change Lever is set on the Clutch mechanism with the counterclockwise
rotation of the PF Motor pinion gear, the ASF home position is detected by this
lever for the paper loading operation. In this time, the printer cannot load a paper
from ASF Unit because the drive of the PF Motor is not transmitted to the LD
Roller Shaft.
2. Paper loading function
When the Change Lever is released from the Clutch mechanism with the
clockwise rotation of the PF Motor pinion gear, the ASF home position detection
function is changed over to the paper loading function. Therefore, the printer can
load a paper from ASF Unit because the drive of the PF Motor is transmitted to LD
Roller Shaft.
During paper loading, paper is transported from the ASF Unit into the printer by the
rotation of the 2 cams of the LD Roller.
Cam (Large) : Hopper release
Cam (Small) : Paper Back Lever release
When 1 page paper is loaded, the cams mentioned above prepare the Hopper and Paper
Back Lever for the next paper loading operation, and the remaining paper is returned to
the standby position.
Figure 2-7 (p.67) and Figure 2-8 (p.68) show you the ASF paper loading sequence and
the operation of each mechanism.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Mechanism 66

When the PF Motor pinion
gear rotates CCW direction
(right side view), the
Change Lever pushes down
the Clutch lever as right
figure and the Clutch lock
tooth is disengaged from
the Clutch Gear. As the
result, the LD Roller Shaft
dose not rotate at all
because the drive of the PF
Motor is not transmitted. In
this time, the Hopper is also
pushed down by the two
cams on the LD Roller
Shaft, and the Paper Back
Lever is set to avoid that
papers are slipped down
from the paper set position.
This position is the ASF
home position.
When a paper is loaded
from the ASF Unit, the
Change Lever moves to the
front side of the printer with
the CW rotation (right side
view) of the PF Motor
pinion gear and releases the
Clutch lever. As the result,
the Clutch turns back to the
engagement position by the
tension force of the
Extension Spring 0.143.
And, the Clutch gear is
engaged with the Clutch
lock tooth to transmit the
drive of the PF Motor as left
figure. In this time, the
Change Lever is locked
instantaneously by the
protrusion on the backside
of the Carriage Unit to
change over from the ASF
home position detection
function to the paper
loading function surely.

The PF Motor pinion gear
rotates CCW direction (right
side view), and the drive of
the PF Motor is transmitted
to the LD Roller Shaft
through the Clutch lock
tooth and the Clutch gear.
After the LD Roller pushes
down the Paper Back Lever
into the ASF Frame, the
Hopper is released by the
tension force of the
Compression Spring 5.58.
And, a paper is picked up
with the frictional force
between the LD Roller and

of a paper is loaded to the
PF Roller. In this rotation,
the Hopper returns to the

Back Lever is pushed up by
the cam of the LD Roller.
In this time, this lever
returns papers to the standby position in ASF Unit for

2.2.4.2 Paper Feeding Mechanism
The Paper feeding mechanism consists of PF Motor, PF Roller, EJ Roller, PE Sensor,
PF Encoder and PF Scale etc. The Paper feeding mechanism feeds a paper loaded from
ASF Unit by using pairs of rollers.
1. One pair is the PF Roller and the Paper Guide Roller which is assembled in the
Paper Guide Upper Unit. The drive of the PF Motor is transmitted to the Paper
Guide Roller through the PF Roller.
2. Another pair is the EJ Roller and the Star Wheel which is assembled on the EJ
Frame Unit. The drive of the PF Motor is transmitted to the Star Wheel through the
EJ Roller.
Following figure shows you the transmission path for the PF Roller & the Paper Guide
Roller and the EJ Roller & the Star Wheel.
The top of a paper is loaded to the PF Roller from the ASF Unit in the paper loading
sequence. And then, when the PF Motor pinion gear rotates CW direction (left side
view), a paper is fed by the PF Roller & the Paper Guide Roller and the EJ Roller & the
Star Wheel in the printing operation & the paper feed sequence.

Wiper mechanism
Pump mechanism

Note : Like the previous printers, this printer adopts the valveless cap system. The air valve
system used for the previous printer have two functions by the CR position in the
capping condition as follows.
This is to cover the surface of the Printhead with the cap in
order to prevent the nozzle from increasing viscosity.
This is to remove the foreign material and unnecessary ink on
the nozzle plate of the Printhead.
This is to eject the ink from the Ink Cartridge, the ink cavity and
the cap to the Waste Ink Pad.
This is to lock the Carriage Unit with the Change Lever while
the Carriage Unit is at the home position.
1) Valve closing condition (CL position)
By closing the air valve, the ink is forcibly absorbed from the Ink Cartridge
or the ink cavity by the Pump Unit and is ejected to the Waste Ink Pad while
the Carriage Unit is in the CL position.
2) Valve opening condition (Ink absorption position)
By opening the Air valve, the negative pressure is decreased and only the
ink inside the Cap is ejected while the Carriage Unit is in the further right
side than the CL position. (the ink is not absorbed from the Ink Cartridge or
the ink cavity.)
The following shows you the Carriage Unit position for each condition easily.
But, on the valveless cap system, the above 2) operation is done outside the
capping position. The Carriage Unit moves outside the CR home position and
the pump absorbs the ink inside the Cap.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Mechanism 70

The Carriage Unit moves to the Wiper
setting position on the rightmost
position of the Cap Frame with keeping
the Cap covered.
In this time, the hook of the Slider Lock
Lever is latched to the dent of the Cap
Frame.
When the wiping operation is
finished and the Carriage unit
moves further to the left side,
the hook of the Carriage unit
hits to the Slider lock lever.
In this time, the Slider lock
lever is released and the Cap
slider returns to the bottom
position completely.
(The broken line is the
position of the Carriage unit
& the Slider lock lever just
before being released.)
When the Carriage Unit moves to the
left side from the Wiper setting
position, the Cap Unit is pulled back
by the tension force of the
Extension
Spring 0.788
.
In this time, the Cap Unit is
automatically set to the wiping
position because the hook on the
Slider Lock Lever is latched to dent
of the Cap Frame. And, the wiping
operation is performed according to
the Carriage Unit movement.

2.2.5.1 Capping Mechanism
The Capping mechanism covers the Printhead with the Cap to prevent the nozzle from
increasing viscosity when the printer is in stand-by state or when the printer is off.
Wiper with the Cap unit
The wiping operation is controlled by the Carriage Unit movement. This operation
is usually performed with every CL sequence which is to absorb the ink from the
ink cartridge, the ink cavity by the Pump unit. Following figure shows you the
mechanism for the wiping operation.

The PF Motor also controls the Pump Unit mechanism (including the Change Lever) as
well as the Paper loading/feeding mechanism. The drive of the PF Motor is always
transmitted to the Pump Unit. (And also, its drive is transmitted to the LD Roller
through the Clutch mechanism & the Change Lever.)
On this printer, the Pump Unit mechanism including the Change Lever plays a major
role expecting the ink eject operation. And, these operations control depending on the
PF Motor rotational direction as the following table below.

2. Carriage lock operation by the Change Lever
Unlike the previous printer, this printer does not have the Carriage Lock Lever
with the Wiper.
Instead of the Carriage Lock Lever, the Change Lever is set to the front side of the
printer while the Carriage Unit is in the CR home position.
(As for the detailed mechanism for setting the Change Lever, refer to Figure 2-7
(p.67) Step 2)
2.2.6 Ink Sequence
Initial ink charge
After the printer is purchased and the power is turned on for the first time, the
printer must perform the Initial Ink Charge to charge the ink inside the ink cavity.
When the Initial Ink Charge is completed properly, the printer releases the flag
inside the EEPROM. Initial Ink Charge will take about 100 seconds for EPSON
Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F/CX6900F/CX7000F/DX7000F. If the power is turned
off during the Initial Ink Charge, the CL3 will be performed at next power on
timing.
Manual Cleaning
The EPSON Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F/CX6900F/CX7000F/DX7000F provides
three types of manual cleaning to clean air bubbles, clogged ink with viscosity or
foreign substances.
The manual CL can be performed by the Control Panel Operation, the Printer
Driver Utility and the Adjustment Program.
CL1
• Ink absorption (Maximum)
Black Ink: 0.181 (TBD) g, Color Ink: 0.543 (TBD) g
• Wiping operation
Wipes the nozzle plate by the rubber part on the Cap Unit.
• Flashing operation
Prevents color from mixing, and stabilizes ink surface inside the nozzle.
CL2
• Ink absorption (Maximum)
Black Ink: 0.445 (TBD) g, Color Ink: 1.335 (TBD) g
• Wiping operation
Wipes the nozzle plate by the rubber part on the Cap Unit.

• Flashing operation
Prevents color from mixing, and stabilizes ink surface inside the nozzle.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Mechanism 73
Page 74
EPSON Stylus CX5700F/CX5800F/CX6900F/CX7000F/DX7000F Revision D
Independently of the printing path after the previous CL, perform manual CL from
CL1 to CL3 in order if the cumulative printing timer counter is less than 9 min. Only
when the cumulative printing timer counter is more than 9 min, execute only CL1.
Additionally, if the I/C is Ink Low or Out condition, any manual cleaning is
prohibited and it is displayed on the LED indicators.
Timer Cleaning
Like the previous printers, this printer dose not have Lithium battery which is used
for the backup power source for Timer IC. So, this printer manages the printer off
period or cleaning cycle by using the following method.
The Printer Driver sends the timer command to the printer before printing. The
timer command is generated based on the PC’s timer and it consists of year,
month, date, hour, minute and second. As soon as the printer receives the timer
command from the Printer Driver, the printer stores its command in the EEPROM.
Then, it is compared with the latest CL time which is stored in the EEPROM. And,
In case that the timer cleaning period is over the specific period, the printer
performs the timer cleaning automatically. In this time, the printer stores the timer
command in the EEPROM.
Maximum 3.32 (TBD) g of the ink is consumed in the timer cleaning. (0.830
(TBD) g of black ink and 2.490 (TBD) g of color ink are consumed.)
Flashing
Two different flushing operations are executed for the following reasons.
Pre-printing flushing
This is done before a start of printing to eliminate ink viscosity in the
Printhead nozzles.
Periodic flushing
This is done during printing to prevent ink viscosity in the Printhead nozzles
from increasing.

way as previous A4 size scanners.
2.3.1 Scanner Carriage Mechanism
2.3.1.1 Scanner Carriage Unit Overview
The Scanner Carriage Unit is constructed of a CIS Board (including linear CCD), Rod
Lens Array, LED (light source), etc.
CIS Board
This takes the light information read from the document by the Rod Lens Array
and converts it to digital information using the linear CCD.
Rod Lens Array
Many rod-shaped lenses are arranged in parallel, and the upright multiple images
of each lens is overlapped to form a single continuous image. Compared to a
regular lens, this has the special ability to reduce the distances between images.
It can project at 1 to 1 size for imaging a linear CCD with a width identical to an
A4 size document.
Figure 2-13. Scanner Mechanism
LED
The unit uses an LED for an exposure light source. Using an LED eliminates the
need for an inverter board, and power consumption is reduced.

Scanning image is performed in the main scan direction (=1 line) by the CCD sensor
and in the sub-scan direction (=several lines) combined with Scanner Carriage Unit
movement. (refer to the figure below)
Line type, color CCD sensor can scan 1 line in main scan direction (parallel to the
Scanner Carriage Unit) by one time. When scanning next lines after the second line in
sub-scan direction, CR driving moves the Scanner Carriage Unit, which has CCD
sensor inside, and scan the other lines. The scanned data is sent to the control board.
The scanned data for “n” lines and “n-1” line are processed consecutively.

major characteristics of this ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808.
Lithium battery is not mounted
Adoption of 3.3V/1.8V drive logic circuit components
The 5V formed by A6615 (U11) of ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808 and the 3.3V
generated by BD9774 (U32) are used as the drive voltage for many elements.
When SPC shifts to low power mode, the 3.3V that was generated by BD9774
(U32) is stepped down to 1.8V by FS8860 (U17), and elements that had been
driven by 3.3V are then driven by 1.8V for less power consumption.

2.4.2.2 Printhead Driver Circuit
The Printhead driver circuit consists of the following two components:
Head common driver circuit (Common driver U314 & Wave amplifier
transistor Q7, Q8)
Nozzle selector IC on the Printhead driver
Figure 2-19 (p.80) for the Printhead
Figure 2-19. Printhead Driver Circuit
The common driver (U314) generates a basic drive waveform according to the output
signals from Complex Programmable Logic Device (U12). The basic drive waveform
is amplified by the transistors Q7 and Q8 (the amplified one is called drive waveform.)
and then transferred to the nozzle selector IC on the Printhead driver board. Print data
is converted to serial data by the CPLD and then sent to the nozzle selector IC on the
Printhead driver board. Based on the serial data, the nozzle selector IC determines the
nozzles to be actuated. The selected nozzles are driven by the drive waveforms
amplified by the transistor Q7 and Q8. Refer to
driver circuit block diagram.
Head common driver circuit
The basic drive waveform is generated in the common driver (U314) based on the
following 13 signal lines output from the CPLD (U12); DATA0-DATA9, LAT,
RST, and PSAVE.
By the DATA signal output from the CPLD, the original data for the basic drive
waveform is written in the memory in the common driver (U314). The addresses
for the written data are determined by DATA0-DATA9 signals. Then, the
necessary data is selected from the address and appropriate basic drive waveform
is generated. Generated basic drive waveform is transferred to nozzle selector IC
on the Printhead driver board through the transistor Q7 and Q8 and applied to the
nozzle PZT specified by nozzle selector IC.
Nozzle selector circuit
Printing data is allocated to the four rows (the number of the head nozzle rows)
and converted into serial data by the CPLD (U12). Then the converted data is
transferred to the nozzle selector IC through the four signals lines (PRIO8 to
PRIO11). Data transmission from the CPLD to the nozzle selector synchronizes
with the LAT signal and SCK clock signal. Based on the transmitted data,
appropriate nozzle is selected and the PZTs of the selected nozzle are driven by the
drive waveform output from the head common driver.

2.4.2.3 Motor Driver Circuit
CR/PF Motor drive circuit
The motor driver IC (U11) on ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808 drives CR/PF Motors.
This product uses DC motor and performs constant current PWM drive.
Based on the output pulse (signal) from CR Encoder or PF Encoder, the CPU (U3) sets
the appropriate drive current value for each operational action and outputs the value as
a special control signal to the Motor Driver (U11). Then, based on the signal output
from the CPU, the Motor Driver outputs the motor drive current to the CR/PF Motors.
When no data has been received for 5 minutes, the CPU sets the Motor Driver current
value to 0, turning off the Motor Driver, in order to conserve electricity.
Scanner Motor Driver Circuit
The motor driver IC (U11) on ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808 drives Scanner Motor.
This product uses PM type stepping motor and performs constant current bi-polar
drive. The Motor Driver IC (U11) forms the motor drive waveform based on the signal
output from the CPU (U3), controlling the Scanner Motor.
When no data has been received for 5 minutes, the CPU sets the Motor Driver current
value to 0, turning off the Motor Driver, in order to conserve electricity.

2.4.2.4 Combination Circuit
This printer differs from previous models by using a combination IC that integrates the
reset circuit, EEPROM and RTC.
Reset Circuit (TBD)
RTC IC (U2) on ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808 monitors the three voltage: +3.3V for
the logic line, +5V for the logic line and +42V for the drive line. Reset Circuit outputs
the reset signal to CPU (U3) in the following case.
+3.3V line reset circuit
The 3.3V line is monitored at the VDD port of U2, and if an abnormal voltage is
detected, a reset signal for the CPU is output from the FRST port of U2.
+5V line reset circuit
The 5V line is monitored at the VDD2 port of U2, and if an abnormal voltage is
detected, a reset signal for the CPU is output from the RST port of U2.
+42V line reset circuit
The 42V line is monitored at the VEX port of U2, and if an abnormal voltage is
detected, a reset signal for the CPU is output from the EXO port of U2.
EEPROM Control Circuit (TBD)
When the printer power is turned off, the following information is stored in EEPROM
(U2) which is nonvolatile memory. And, when the printer power is on, CPU (U3) reads
the information from EEPROM.
RTC Circuit
By adoption of the large-capacity capacitor (C167) for timer, the Power-off timer can
be backed up for about one week after power-off.
Figure 2-21. RTC Circuit Block Diagram
Information stored in EEPROM is listed below.
Various ink counter (I/C consumption counter, Waste Ink Pad counter, etc.)
Mechanical setting value (Head ID, Bi-D Adjustment, USB ID, etc.)
EEPROM is connected to CPU with 4 lines and each line has the following function.
CE : Chip selection signal
CLK : Data synchronism clock pulse
DI : Data writing line (serial data) at power off.
DO : Data reading line (serial data) at power on.

2.4.2.5 Sensor Circuit
CPU (U3) on the ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808 monitors the status of the printer
with several sensors. However, unlike the previous product, ASF Unit on this printer
does not have ASF Sensor. Instead of ASF Sensor, Change Lever and the Clutch
mechanism is used to detect ASF home position. (As for the ASF home position
detection, refer to
PE Sensor
This sensor is mounted at the right side center of the Printer Mechanism, and it
detects the presence/absence of paper when the paper passes through the Paper
Guide Rear. The PE Sensor is constructed of a transmissive photosensor and the
PE Sensor Lever.

PF Encoder Sensor
The sensor is composed of a transmissive photo sensors mounted to the loop scale
of the PF Roller Unit left side and to ASSY SP MAIN BOARD 8808. Minimum
resolution of 1/180 inch is provided, and output to the CPU is a high signal for the
black slits on the loop scale and a low signal for the transparent slits on the loop
scale. Control of the PF Motor is based on the output signal.
Thermistor (THM)
The thermistor is directly mounted on the Printhead driver board. It monitors the
temperature around the Printhead and determines the proper head drive voltage to
uniform the weight of the ink fired from the Printhead. This information is fed
back to the CPU analog port. When the temperature rises, the head drive circuit
lowers the drive voltage: When the temperature lowers, the head drive circuit rises
the drive voltage.
PG Large : A high signal is output to the CPU.
PW Sensor
The sensor is mounted to the bottom of the Carriage Unit. It detects the top and
bottom, left and right edges of the paper being fed.

2.5.2 Memory Configuration for Fax
The printer employs a SDRAM (3.5 MB) for fax memory.
As a characteristic of SDRAM, data stored in the memory (including backup data) will
be deleted once the unit is turned off.
File system inside the memory can basically be divided into three folders as follows:
Table 2-10. Fax Memory File System
Folder Description
• Stores scanned data to send faxes.
Scan job
• Used as a work area for converting send data.
• Maximum size to be stored: 2.3 MB
• Stores all the received data and fax report as print jobs.
Print job
• Printed/Cancelled fax data move to the backup folder. (Fax report
will be deleted.)
• Stores all the received data.
Backup job
• Data in this folder will be printed when reprinting.
• If the printer runs out of memory during fax operation, the oldest
data in this folder will automatically be deleted.
Note : 100 Kbytes of the whole memory is used to monitor the telephone line for 60 seconds
after the call is detected to check whether the call is a fax signal or not.

2.5.3 Workflow for Sending Faxes
1. When the user tries to send faxes from the LCD menu, the User Interface tells the
Fax Scan to perform scanning.
2. The Fax Scan scans the data based on the preset resolution and the contrast. When
the scanning is complete, scanned data is sent to the Fax Scheduler.
3. T30 Engine starts to communicate according to the preset parameters through the
Modem Driver.
4. By negotiating with the other end of the line, the resolution and the compression
method are determined. The scanned data is transmitted with the header and the
time added.
NOTE 1: For monochrome faxes, data will be sent after all the scanning is
complete.
2: For color faxes or larger sized data, the Fax Scan scans only the first
page and establishes the connection with the other end of the line. From
the second pages, the unit performs scanning and sending data
alternately page by page to avoid out of memory situations.
2.5.4 Workflow for Receiving Faxes
1. T30 Engine starts to receive data when the Engine detects the fax signal through
the Modem Driver.
2. The received data is sent to the Fax Scheduler. When the Fax Print is ready, the
data is transferred to the Fax Print.
3. The Fax Print examines the condition of the printer, and judges if it is okay to
print.
4. The printer starts printing based on the preset settings (such as auto reduction).
5. When the printing is finished, the received data moves to the Backup folder.
NOTE 1: When the Auto Answer is set to off, the user must confirm that the
incoming call is a fax signal by using the telephone connected to the EXT
jack, press the “Start” button (B&W or Color), and receive the fax
(manual answer mode).
2: When an error occurs during printing the first page, an incomplete page
will be printed. When an error occurs while printing the second or
subsequent page, printing will stop after printing the pages that have no
errors.
3: All the received data will be moved to the Backup folder regardless of the
data is printed or not.
4: Printing will be started after receiving all the data.
