Modular Ink Delivery System

A modular ink delivery system is the separation of ink car tridges and printheads into individual, single-color components. Traditional inkjet printers use one black and one tricolor ink cartridge, each with integrated printheads. HP’s modular ink delivery system features four separat e ink cartr idges--o ne for each primary printing color--and four corresponding long-life printheads, with tubes connecting the components. I nc luding the standard and high-capacit y black ink cartr idges, t here are actually nine consumables, with on ly eight used in the printer at o ne time.

Product Information 1-1

Technology Update

How It Works

By separating the ink cartridge from the pr intheads, a modu lar ink delivery syste m allows the ink supply to remain in a permanent, fixed position. The printheads re main attached to the carriage and move back and forth, delivering ink to the page as the paper advances through the printer. Each printhead and ink cartridge is embedded with a tiny memory device called a smart chip that recognizes and stor es t he unique operat ing characteristics of the component to cr eate a totally integrat ed pr inting system that ensures consistent , high-quality printing at the lowest cost available.

A unique pressurization system maintains a constant supply of ink to the printheads. Smart chips monitor the amount of ink used by counting every drop that passes through each printhead. When the smart chips sense more ink is needed to maintain cont inuous printing, a plunger in each cartridge temporarily pressurizes the cartridges to deliver more ink to the printheads. With the modular ink delivery system, ink supply is instantly replenished, even at top speeds.

The new, individually replaceable pr intheads ar e des igned for long life and each should print 12,000 pages in black, 24,000 pages in color. As a result, you’ll go through many ink cartridges before the corresponding printhead will need replacement. With their modular design, ink cartridges contain twice the ink supply of current HP cartridges, so you’ll also get longer lasting cartridges. When a co mponent approaches the end of its print life, the smart chip not ifies the user through on-screen messages so a rep lacement can be purchased prior to the part expiring.

By separating the pr intheads and ink cartridges, you only replace the co mponent t hat is no longer usable. Pr intheads can be replaced one at a time without the need for cost ly or extensive servicing and aren’t discarded when the ink is expended. HP printheads also use a wet wiping system to eliminate nozzle clogging that plagues other permanent printhead designs. Component replacement is easy. Simply pull out t he used part and snap in a replacement.

Technology Update

The Benefit s

Cuts up to 30 percent off the printing costs of other methods



Modular design means only the component that is no longer useful is replaced.



Longer-life printheads and higher-capacity ink cartridges means less frequent

replacement.

Achieves color laser speed in a personal desktop printer



Each Printhead has 304 nozzles (1,216 total, the most in the industry) resulting in

faster pr int sp eeds.



Prints in 1/2-inch swath as opposed to the 1/5- or 1/3-inch swaths of integrated

print cartridges.



Ink cartridge pressurization system keeps constant flow of ink to printhead. Smart

chips store component information and alert user to low-ink, ink-out and printhead failure status.

The Centronics Parallel Cable has only 8 data lines, 5 status lines, 4 ground lines and ground connections bet ween t he host PC and the peripheral. Each of the signal lines has a correspond ing bit posit ion in a memor y address (register) in the host where data is read or written. Sending data to the printer follows the sequence below:



Host places data in Data Out register



Host sends pulse on Strobe line

mode and return the link to the Centronics (uni-directional) mode

The 1284 compliant cable supports the ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) mode in the transfer of data. The ECP protocol includes a series of protocols that differ from standard Centronics para llel port operation. These add it ional signaling methods a llow the host and peripheral to negotiate any of faster transfer modes (e.g. DMA, FIFO and RLE decompression). The protocol is hardware driven and the performance is limited by the ISA bus bandwidth. The primary advantage is that once data transfer is negotiated, data can flow without t he need of an ackno wledge or a return stat us signal. This ca n r e sult in a transfer rate of up to 10 times faster than that of the compatibility mode that the Centronics parallel cable supports.

To transfer data, the host first goes through a negotiation phase, which allows the host and peripheral to select a mutually-supported communications mode. During the negotiation phase, the host indicates which communication mode and options it would like to use via the Extensibility Request Value. If the peripheral device does not support the requested mode or options, it sets the Extensibility Flag low and the interface returns to Compatibil ity Mode.

Print Quality Menu

Item Value Explanation

PRINT QUALITY= NORMAL

NORMAL ECONOFAST BEST

NORMAL: Normal mode delivers high quality output and is the recommended setting for speed and quality. Normal mode is the default setting for most paper types.

ECONOFAST: Draft quality printing. EconoFast mode prints faster than Normal mode and delivers comparable output.

Using EconoFast will also cut down on the frequency of replacing your ink car tr idges because it uses less ink. EconoFast printing is available only when you select plain paper or transparency as the paper type.

BEST: High quality printing. Best mode produces the highest print quality for all paper types and eliminates the banding effect that some time s occu rs in solid areas. However, Best mode prints more slo w ly than Normal mo de for most docume nts.

Note

2. When printing in either Normal or Econofast mode, the printer will print bi-directionally (that is,

from left to r ight and right to left).

4. However in wh en printing in Best mode, the printer will print uni-directionally (that is, only from

right to left). Printing in Best mode will result in slower printing, but this can solve ban ding problems.

program is not able to diagnose correctly, r eplace the printheads one after another to identify the faulty printh ead.

The Printhead Diagn ost ic Process in steps:

1. “PRNT-HD DIAG” appears on LCD

2. Press GO

3. Open the Print Head Access Cover and remove C, M and Y Pr intheads

4. Close Printhead Access Cover

5. LCD will display “Detecting”

6. If B Print Head faulty LCD shows “B PRNT-HD FAULTY”

7. Press GO

8. LCD displays “REPLACE B PRNT-HD”

9. User replaces Black Pr inthead

10. LCD shows “DETECTING”

Error Codes

Recoverable Error Codes

A recoverable error is one that is defined as an anomaly that will cause the pr inter to pause until the user reso lves t he erro r.

The other two types of errors are: warning errors, which will highlight a potential problem to the user but does not cause the printer to stop op er ation, and unrecoverable errors, which are generally irresolvable by the user and will cause the printer to stop functioning altogether.

Also note that if the pr inter is in the Me nu state, error messages w i ll not be displayed until the printer is back in the Ready state.

Note: Brackets [ ] in the Message column indicate variables.

Some of the codes in the list below have a comment “Not Used”. These codes are only for development purposes and should no longer be triggered by the firmware. We do supply the full list of unrecoverable codes because experience told us that under some unique circumstances some of the development codes will still be displayed.
