2.3 Banding Reduction System (BRS)/ Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP)
Overview
To ensure high-speed printing and high print quality, this printer is provided with the Banding Reduction System (BRS) and Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP) function, which are
outlined below:
Table 2-6. Outline of Banding Reduction System and Paper Feed Profile Correction Function
Supported Printing Mode
Outline
Conventional models perform overlapping printing (two-pass or fourpass printing) to reduce banding for ensuring high print quality.
However, the printer provided with the Banding Reduction System
BRS
corrects the dot generation rate (amount of settled ink) for each raster,
and performs one-pass printing. This function ensures both high print
quality (reduction of banding) and high-speed printing.
The conventional paper feed adjustment method is such that the
correction value calculated from the data based on a specific part of the
sheet is reflected to almost all over the sheet. Therefore, the
conventional method cannot cope with the fluctuating error in the paper
feed rate during paper feeding. However, the Paper Feed Profile
PFP
Correction function measures the error in the paper feed rate at each of
minutely distributed measuring points on the sheet and provides a
correction value for each point. Thus with this function, the printer
realizes high print quality and high-speed printing on a supported paper
type and in a supported printing resolution.

How to prepare correction data
For each of BRS and PFP, print the relevant pattern for correction data preparation and read the printed pattern through the scanner. Then calculate the correction data and store the data
in the serial flash ROM on the Main Board. The correction data are applied to printing in the supported printing mode.
Refer to Chapter 5 “Adjustment” for details of correction data
preparation for BRS and PFP.

reversing the disassembly procedure.
4.1.1 Precautions
See the precautions given under the heading “WARNING” and “CAUTION” in the
following column when disassembling or assembling the product.
Things, if not strictly observed, that could result in injury or loss of life are described
under the heading “Warning”.
Precautions for any disassembly or assembly procedures are described under the
heading “CAUTION”.
Chips for disassembling procedures are described under the heading “CHECK
POINT”.
If the assembling procedure is different from the reversed procedure of the
disassembling, the procedure is described under the heading “REASSEMBLY”.
Any adjustments required after disassembling the units are described under the heading
“ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED”.
When you have to remove any units or parts that are not described in this chapter, refer
to the exploded diagrams in the appendix.
Read precautions described in the next section before starting.
Remove the batteries and unplug the AC adapter before
disassembling the Stylus Photo RX585/595/610.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid
injury from sharp metal edges.
To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static
discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when
accessing internal components.
When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for
cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such
products containing flammable gas is prohibited.

4.1.3 Preparation before Disassembly
Make the following preparations before disassembling the Stylus Photo RX585/595/610:
When the Main Board is to be replaced, make a copy of the EEPROM data.
When the Carriage Assy is to be moved out of its home position, locate it at a
position other than the home position before starting disassembly by turning the
power ON and turning it OFF timely. (See
(p.61)
)
As soon as the repaired product has been returned to the user, there may be a case
a maintenance call occurs because of the expiration of the life of a service part.
Avoid such a case, if possible, as follows: Check the maintenance counter for
regularly replaced parts before disassembly. If the life of any part is found almost
expired, communicate with the user to that effect. If the user's consent is obtained,
replace also the relevant service parts with new ones.
