Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a RJ-6000 Series (RJ-6000-43, RJ-6000-54, RJ6000-62) Full-color Inkjet Printer.

This RJ-6000 Series is a full-color inkjet printer equipped with 360 dpi, 720 dpi and simulated 1440 dpi resolution, that supports Centronics (bi-directional parallel interface, IEEE1284 compatible, with Nibble and ECP modes) and, optionally, Ethernet interfaces.

This User Guide deals with printer installation and operation methods as well as usage precautions. In order to use the printer safely and effectively, please read the User Guide carefully before you use the printer and then use it correctly.

Keep the manual beside the printer. It is sure to be useful in case something that you are not sure about should occur while you are using the printer.

IMPORTANT

• Because the RJ-6000 Series is an inkjet printer, it needs to be cleaned and inspected periodically. User registration and a service contract are recommended for prompt detecting trouble promptly and maintaining printing quality in top condition. For details, contact your local Mutoh dealer.

In order to operate the printer's functions, first look up the operation you wish to perform by referring to "When you want to do this".

Then check the explanation of the function under "Understanding the functions".

Next, refer to the actual operation under "How to set parameters".

RJ-6000 Series USER GUIDE Functions Edition

Understanding the Functions

Command Settings

Name of Function

Command

This specifies the commands and conditions that are transferred from the computer. The following commands are supported:

•RTL-PASS:

•MH-GL, GL2 (MH-RTL): Mutoh MH-GL/MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL)

commands (conform to HewlettPackard HP-GL, HP-GL/2 (HP-RTL) commands)

•MH-GL2 (MH-RTL): Mutoh MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL) commands

(conform to Hewlett-Packard HP-GL/2 (HP-RTL) commands)

(MH-GL, GL2 printing unit is 0.025 mm)

Plot Area

This specifies environmental functions for the printer. It specifies the printing area (hardclip area) for the media size.

•Normal: Specifies the standard printing area for RJ-6000

Series printers

Distance from edges of media:

Cut sheet - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 10 mm Roll media - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 10 mm

•Expanded: Specifies a printing range for the RJ-6000 printer

that is interchangeable with Mutoh XP Series pen

plotters. However, since the maximum printing range is 1351.6 mm for a 54-inch printer and 1554.8 mm for a 62-inch printer, if expanded mode is specified with media wider than 1361.6 mm for a 54-inch printer, or 1564.8 mm for a 62-inch printer, the left and right margin shown below will be differed.

Distance from edges of media:

Cut sheet - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 5 mm

Roll media - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 5 mm (media width 54 inch: 1361.6 mm or less, 62 inch: 1564.8 mm or less)

•LL: The initial position is at the lower left of the hardclip.

•Full: The initial position is at the lower left of the media.

Terminator

Ink Dry Time

Ink drying times differ according to the type of media. After the printing is finished, roll media is cut off and falls into the ejected media basket. If the ink is not yet dry, the media will be soiled. Ink drying time is the delay to allow the ink to dry between the end of printing and the cutting of the roll media.

•Ink drying time: 0 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 40 sec,

50 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec, 150 sec, 180 sec, 210 sec, 240 sec, 270 sec, 300 sec, 6M, 7M, 8M, 9M, 10M, 15M, 20M, 25M, 30M, 35M, 40M, 45M, 50M, 55M, 60M.

Halftone

This specifies the method for expressing pseudo-halftone processing of MH-GL/2 (vector) data or unbinarized MH-RTL (raster) data.

•Speed diffusion: Rapid expression of tones with an

error diffusion matrix

•Quality diffusion: High quality expression of tones by

mean error minimization

•Thin diffusion: Try this if the data was prepared for

another brand of printer and high speed diffusion appears too dense.

Direction

In a case where data is to be printed on roll media, this function specifies whether the layout of the image on the media is to be based on the size of the data including spaces or only on the area that will actually be printed.

•Command: If a command specifying page size is contained in

the data, media size will be judged from that command.

•MAX-MIN: The maximum and minimum values of the data

determine the size of media that will contain that data, regardless of origin coordinates or page size commands, and the layout matches the center of the area to the center of the media.

CAUTION

• Electronic components are susceptible to damage by static electricity. Remove static charge from your clothes and body by touching your hands to the board box before you touch the network interface board.

Step 3

Fasten the two interface mounting screws.

Step 4

Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable compatible with both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX to the connector on the interface board. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network hub.

Installation of Options

Memory Extension

Standard internal memory for the RJ-6000 Series printer is 8 MB + 32 MB (slot

1) but this can be extended by fitting an additional 16 MB (SIM16M) or 32 MB (SIM32M) memory chips (sold separately). The following procedure explains how to install extended memory.

CAUTION

• The power to the printer must be switched off and the power cord removed before the additional memory is installed.

Step 1

Remove roll media and scroller from the printer. Undo the three screws holding the board box on the printer main unit and carefully lower the board box. Remove two thumb screws to reveal the memory slot.

Board Box Fastening Screws

CAUTION

• Dust in the slot may cause damage. Blow it out with an air duster before installing the additional memory.

Step 2

The optional memory chip to be added should be inserted in slot 2 on the lower right of the board with the nicked end of the chip at the right hand end of the slot.

Messaged Errors and Countermeasures

A messaged error impedes the operation of the printer. Sometimes an error is displayed and printing continues or printing may cease when an error is displayed. If printing stops, it will be reprinted when the cause of the error is removed. When a messaged error occurs, the beeper will beep twice unless there is insufficient memory.

The capping position is not recorded. The error will not be cancelled until the capping position is adjusted. Contact your local Mutoh dealer regarding capping position adjustment.

An error has occurred during media detection. Either media smaller than the minimum size or larger than the maximum size was detected or the hold lever was up or a media jam occurred during media detection. This error also occurs if the media is not loaded in the correct position. Put the hold lever up and reload the media.

There was insufficient memory during data processing or printing. In this case the beeper gives three long beeps. Printing continues but the result can not be guaranteed. Since the required memory size is displayed, you should consider extending the memory.

(See page 82)

Data Error Display and Countermeasures

Data errors occur when there is a fault in communication between the printer and the computer. There are three types of data error:

• Errors related to communication conditions

• Errors caused by faulty handshaking

• Escape sequence command format errors

The beeper gives three long beeps when a data error occurs.

NOTE

• The command that caused the error may be shown enclosed in brackets in the data error message.

The beeper gives three long beeps when a data error occurs.

NOTE

• A command error may occur together with a data error (related to error code I15). In this case the communication settings should be checked.

• The command that caused the error may be shown enclosed in brackets in the data error message.

Errors Requiring a Restart

Errors requiring a restart are fatal to the operation of the printer. The power to the printer must be switched off and the printer must be restarted. They are caused by an obstruction to the printer drive or damage related to a printer board.

When an error requiring restart occurs, the printer behaves as follows.

(a) Drive power is shut down automatically. (b)All LEDs on the control panel flash and the beeper sounds continu-

ously. The beeper will not stop until a key is pressed.

Errors Requiring Restart that Involve the Mechanical System

If an error has occurred in the mechanical system, remove the foreign object, paper scraps, etc. that are causing the obstruction and restart the printer.
