The Ioline FJ printer and StudioJet have many fast moving compo-
nents. Please read and follow these safety guidelines before begin­ning operation of the printer:
Do not try to repair the machine without factory authoriza-
tion. Only qualified service personnel should attempt any
disassembly or access to internal components. If external mechanical adjustments are necessary, turn off the printer and disconnect it from all power sources (both the computer and the wall outlet).
Be careful with hair, jewelry, or loose clothing near the printer.
They can become caught in the mechanical parts.
Safety &
Cautions
Never attempt to move the carriage by hand when the power is
on. Always use the Arrow keys to move the carriage.
To park the carriage safely in the Service Station and protect the print cartridges, press the Clean but­ton.
Keep hands away
from the carriage when the printer is in operation. The car-
riage will automati­cally move to touch the left end plate then back to the right end (the Service Station position) when the power is turned on.
Never insert hands or other objects into the Service Station
area on the right side of the printer. The carriage occasionally
enters this area without warning and could collide with an obstruction, potentially causing and injury.
Be careful when moving or lifting the printer. Moving the print-
er requires at least 2 people. To avoid injury to your fingers, do not lift the printer by the end plates. Hold the bottom surfaces of the end covers to lift or move it. See Figure 1.
Keep fingers away from the drive shaft when the printer is in
operation. Serious injury could result.
Figure 1. Hold the bottom sur­faces of the end covers to avoid injury to your ngers.
To improve readability, the StudioJet is mentioned in this manual only when necessary to clarify differences in service or maintenance procedures vis à vis the FJ Printer. Unless otherwise noted, instructions pertaining to the FJ Printer are identical for the StudioJet.

How the printer works
The Ioline FJ Printer combines paper and ink cartridge motion to create vector outputs in a wide 72 in format. The data are sent to the printer via either a standard RS- 232 serial or USB cable. When a fi le is sent to the printer, the electronic system translates the vectors into instructions for the “X” ( paper motion) and “Y” ( Ink cartridge mo­tion) motors. At the same time instructions are sent to the carriage assembly to apply ink to the paper.
Paper movement
Paper motion is ac­complished by pull­ing paper through the machine with a trac­tion shaft. The shaft is connected to the X-axis motor with a timing belt transmisison assembly. The drive-shaft rotates in one direction.
Figure 8. Paper direction.
Chapter 1: Overview
25
Carriage movement
The Y-Axis transmis­sion powers a timing belt that transports a V wheel carriage along the Y-Axis traverse extrusion. The ink cartridges are attached to the carriage and are made to apply ink to the paper by actuating the electronics of the ink cartridge. When not printing, the carriage assembly is stored in the Service Station to keep the ink cartridges clean and capped so they don’t dry out.
Figure 9. Carriage movement.
Serial number identifi cation
Identifi cation of Ioline Corporation products is accomplished by use of a serial number located on the back of the right side cover on the printer. You can determine the model and date of manufacture us­ing the following guidelines:

Ioline recommends using FlexPlot for marker making on the FJ Printer. FlexPlot offers the most robust and fl exible workfl ow available for creating output. It’s especially useful when many fi le formats are used, a common situation for service bureaus. To set-up and learn how to use the software, see the FlexPlot User Guide.
The FJ Printer is designed to work in many different production environments. The type of marker printing you do will often deter­mine your preferred communication method. Two typical methods for sending markers are:
1. Plot directly from the marker or design software to the
printer. (See Figure 10.)
Unlike other marker printers, the FJ Printer is capable of oper-
ating as a stand-alone device with no extra software running on the computer. This method works if your CAD software in­cludes a driver for any Ioline product, such as the Ioline 600Ae or the Summit 2200. It will also work if the CAD software can create a compatible HPGL- or DM/ PL- formatted fi le.

Caution
Keep hands and loose clothing away from all moving parts of the
printer. Make sure the Service
Station area is not obstructed.
Power on
Turn on the computer and the printer to make sure they both work. The printer power switch is located next to the power cord on the back of the machine, behind the keypad. When the printer is pow­ered up, the carriage will move toward the left side of the machine, then return to the opposite side to park in the Service Station. The OK light will turn red and the Square light will turn green on the front panel after the start-up process has fi nished.
Installing FlexPlot and the Control Center
The FJ Printer includes two software interfaces: FlexPlot and the Control Center. FlexPlot will import and queue marker les from
many design programs to optimize production operations. The Control Center is an interface for adjusting parameters to optimize printer performance. The printer comes with a CD-ROM which has Microsoft Windows® 98/2000/XP versions of the programs as well as PDF user guides and the required Adobe® Acrobat® reader.

The Control Center
Overview
The Control Center is a utility program that does two things:
Allows you to adjust settings to tailor output (e.g. scale, line
width) from the computer.
Provides an interface to send completed fi les to the printer.
To avoid communication port confl icts, do not simultaneously run more than one application that communicates with the printer.
Note

Line Width
Controls the weight of the plotted line using line width. Three levels are available; Thin, Normal, and Thick. Thin lines use less ink and make fi ne details like Asian text and small pieces easier to see. Thick lines use more ink to produce higher contrast lines.
Used in conjunction with the Quality Setting (see below), the FJ Print­er provides six options for output quality, to enable you to produce clearly visible lines using the least possible amount of ink.
Scale
The printer scale ranges from 1% to 999%. The factory default Scale is 100%. A scale set to 50% prints at half size. Changes do not take effect until the Set Scale button is pressed. Note: Both X- and Y-Axes are set independently.
Frame Size
Most design software sends long plots to printers by breaking them into smaller pieces called frames. In general, design software does this automatically and adjusts the Frame Size in the printer to match. The Frame Size setting establishes clipping limits for each data frame. If the printed size of a plot frame exceeds the frame size set in the printer, the excess is clipped or thrown away. (If the plot is clipped, try increasing the Frame Size manually.) The factory-set X-axis (paper direction) frame size is 46 in (116.8-cm), maximum is 21600 in (54,864-cm). Default and maximum Y-axis ( carriage direc­tion) frame size is 72 in (182.9-cm).
Page 32

Ioline FJ Printer & StudioJet Service Manual
Quality Setting
Choose Draft or Best to control line density. Draft mode uses 300 DPI. Best mode uses 600 DPI. A lower DPI setting uses less ink by creating a fainter line. Higher DPI uses more ink but makes a darker line. Use this setting in conjunction with the Line Width (see above) to fi nd a bal- ance between saving ink and making clearly visible lines.
Measurement Units
Choose between English or Metric units for settings display.

General troubleshooting
This section contains guidelines and testing procedures for resolving basic operatioinal diffi culties and diagnosing mechanical, electri- cal and electronic processes. Chapter 4 also contains related repair procedures.
If the system isn’t functioning correctly, fi rst determine which com- ponent is causing the problem. Likely diffi culties may involve:
 The computer
Chapter 3
Troubleshooting &
Testing
 The power cord or communication cables
 The apparel/marker design software
 The FJ Printer
Changes to the computer operating system or the installation of new peripherals or software can cause confl icts. If the problem appears to be with the computer or apparel design software, consult the appro­priate documentation or an Ioline dealer.
If the problem is with the printer, begin by making sure power is on and that the cable between the machines and the PC is connected correctly.
The information in this chapter begins with the simplest and most common issues, and progresses to more complex and invasive troubleshooting. If you are unable to resolve a problem after consult­ing this manual, fi ll out the Diagnostic Record at the beginning of Chapter 4, then contact Ioline Customer Service.
Error messages
Error messages that are specifi c to the Ioline FJ Printer are divided into two catagories: Control Center software errors and LED codes. Software errors present themselves on the computer screen and usu­ally indicate a communication problem. LED codes are visible on the keypad and can be a green light, a red light or a combination of both.
The keypad LED code table (Figure 21) is helpful for isolating the cause of obvious external or communication problems. Comprehen­sive information later in the chapter can help troubleshoot mechani­cal and electrical diffi culties. Errors caused by the operating system or the plotting software should be resolved with the software author.

Power problems
If the printer won’t power on or initialize—or if the fan does not spin—follow these initial diagnostic steps:
1. Check the power cord. Make sure that it is fi rmly plugged into the wall and into the back of the printer.
2. Check the voltage at the wall outlet and verifi y that it is within the operating limits as specifi ed in Chapter 1, Speci cations.
If there are no obvious power problems, proceed to the Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic Diagnostics later in this chapter.
Communications
The Printer won’t respond to the computer
If the printer doesn’t accept commands from the computer, try the following:
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & Testing
41
1. Verifi y that the communication cable is correctly connected to the printer and to the proper communications port on the computer.
2. Change the computer COM port settings to match the printer’s serial communications settings. (See Serial Communication, below.)
Serial communication
The serial port on the printer has an adjustable baud rate. Available speeds are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. It is critical that the Control Center, FlexPlot or design software use the same baud rate that the printer is using.
If there is ever any doubt about what baud rate the printer is using, Ioline recommends resetting it to the default of 38400. To reset the baud rate:
1. Turn off the power to the printer.
2. Press and hold the Page Advance key (the key below Set Origin) while turning power on.
3. Continue holding the Page Advance key until the OK light turns red and the Square light turns green.
If using a terminal program like TeraTerm™ to communicate with the printer, make sure to use 8 Data Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and Xon/Xoff ( software) Flow Control.

Paper problems
Regular or intermittent paper tearing
Common situations that cause paper tearing while the printer is operat­ing include:
The paper was incorrectly loaded in the machine.
A pinchwheel(s) is positioned over a drive shaft bearing.
Figure 22 represents the proper paper path, with the paper after it is inserted properly and taped to the take-up shaft. The illustration shows the dancer bar in place.

Media tracking
Tracking is the process that controls media motion over the platen and assures accurate lines. If the paper slips under the pinchwheels or is out of alignment, printing quality will degrade. To resolve tracking diffi culties try the following suggestions:
Install paper correctly. See the Operation chapter in the User
Guide for more details.
Make sure the paper path and dancer bars are set correctly (as
shown in Figure 22 (and in the User Guide.)
Inspect the paper for wrinkles or folds. Never use paper that is
folded, wrinkled, or torn in any way. It may cause paper jams.
Make sure the pinchwheels are spaced across the paper as out-
lined in the User Guide.
The pinchwheels should never be positioned over bearings on
the drive shaft as paper tearing and bunching will occur. Verify that the pinchwheels are positioned over treads (e.g. under the white markers affi xed to the traverse.)
Check to make sure that the printer is level. See the Quick Start
Guide for more information.
The paper may slip when debris accumulates on the drive shaft.
Inspect and clean the drive shaft. Refer to the Routine Mainte- nance chapter in the User Guide for more information.
Contact an Ioline distributor or Ioline Customer Service if you
are unable to resolve the problem or if the printer is damaged.
Print quality problems
Line quality
In most cases, poor line quality is caused by one of several things:
The ink cartridge is empty, dirty, damaged or dried up.
The Motion Factor or Carriage Calibration needs adjustment.
The platen is not level
If line quality is uneven, try the following:
1. Press Start/Stop then the Clean keys on the keypad to automatically clean the cartridges.
2. Inspect the ink level window on cartridge. If it is black, then the cartridge is empty. Replace it with a new one.
3. Remove the cartridge(s) and manu­ally clean the print head with a (de­ionized) water-moistened, lint-free cloth. (See Cartridge Maintenance and Handling in the User Guide.)

4. Plot on higher quality or undamaged (free of wrinkles and bubbles) paper.
5. Use genuine HP 45 cartridges as recommended by Ioline.
6. Recalibrate cartridges as described below.
7. Level the platen as outlined in the Quick Start Guide.
8. Contact an Ioline distributor or Ioline Customer Service if you need further help.

Dirty or damaged cartridge
Sometimes a cartridge will go bad for no apparent reason. The cartridge may look perfect and be full of ink, but it will not plot. If this occurs fi rst try pressing the Clean button on the keypad. Install a new cartridge and the tests to see if this fi xes the problem.
If this has no effect remove, clean, inspect for damage, then test. If the cartridge fails again replace it.

Cartridge calibration
The Cartridge Calibration window is located in the Control Center and can be accessed in the Tools menu. Step-by-step instructions on the calibration process are provided in the User Guide.
The examples below show different results and settings of the car­tridge calibration window. If the printer is printing poorly, check some of the examples here for a possible fi x.
Calibration overview
Cartridge Alignment: Aligns the ink cartridges with each other.
On 1-head machines, cartridge calibration is not neccessary.
Motion Adjustment: Aligns (side to side) each pass of the car-
riage with the next pass.
Frame Gap: Aligns (from top to bottom) each pass of the
carriage.
Page 51
Cartridge alignment
The Control Center includes cartridge alignment settings ( Figure
). These are used for other Ioline inkjet plotter models. Since the
27
FJ Printer only has one print head, you do not need to perform ink cartridge alignment.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & Testing
51
Figure 28. The Cartridge Calibration window in the Control Center.

Ioline FJ Printer & StudioJet Service Manual
Motion adjustment
To understand Motion Adjustment, think of each reversal in car­riage direction as a “pass”. With every pass, each head draws a line
1/2
-in long. If the FJ Printer has 2 heads, it draws a 1-in line for each
pass. A four-head machine will draw a 2-in line.
If the Motion Factor is too low, the printer will draw the line too late. Visu­ally, this appears as if the line drifts to the right, as shown in Figure 29. Mo- tion Factor set too high results in drift to the left.
Motion Adjustment is done when each carriage pass doesn’t line up with the previous one. Lines will “Stair-Step” back and forth and not look right. When the carriage is in motion the ‘Motion Adjustment’ will tell the ink cartridge to print sooner or later de­pending on the number in the ‘Motion Adjustment fi eld’ in the FJ8 Control Center.

Unexplained frame gaps
If your plots exhibit occasional frame gaps, like Figure 32 for instance, may indicate that the printer body is not level. Notice how the right and left lines are right on, but the middle line mis-aligned.
Try releveling the printer to see if this corrects the problem. The Quick Start Guide provides detailed instructions. You’ll need to locate the height-adjust­ing spacer in the Accessory Kit for this task (see Figure 33).
If the leveling procedure does not cor­rect the problem, see Ink cartridge stall problems later in this chapter.

Frame Size Adjustment
Panel size is based on older pen plotters and the software that runs them. Pen plotters plot on a fi xed panel before pulling more paper through the machine to plot on the next panel. Although the printer runs continuously, panel size still applies.
Most software, like PAD® and Optitex®, have a Panel or Frame Size setting. Both the software and the plotter must match for the plot to look right. If a gap forms in the plot, then the panels should be adjusted.
1. Make sure the plotter is connected to the computer. Press Set Origin to illuminate the green OK LED on the keypad.
2. Open Control Center.
3. In the upper right corner of the Control Center window, you will see X- and Y-axis panel size fi elds.
4. For most software to work properly, the X-axis panel needs to be set to 35 inches. (The default is 21,600 inches).
5. Type 35 in the X-axis panel fi eld
6. In the Y-axis fi eld, type the width of your paper in inches. (The default is 72 inches.)
If you use Flex Plot software to send the plot to the plotter, you can skip the Panel Size Adjust-
ment procedure.
Note
7. Once you are done click the Set Size button
8. Close the Control Center.
9. Open the software you use to design your plot fi les ( PAD®, Optitex®, etc.)
10. Change the X- and Y-axis panel sizes to match the values in the Control Center.
11. If you are unsure of how to do this, contact your software ven­dor for help.

Ink cartridge stall problems
Always remember to close and lock the cartridge doors after remov­ing or replacing an ink cartridge. Failure to do so can damage the print electronics. Ink cartridge stalls can also crack from mishandling, causing print misalignment that is diffi cult to calibrate.
Cracked stall
Figure 34. The ink stall can crack if the cartridge door is not closed and locked.
Noisy carriage movement
If you notice unusual noise coming from the carriage, the wheel on the carriage assembly may need cleaning or replacement. Remove the carriage assembly from the traverse and clean the wheel. Also wipe the traverse rails before re-installing the carriage assembly. If cleaning does not resolve the noise, contact Ioline Customer Service.
Figure 35. If the carriage makes noise, you may need to clean or replace the wheel.
Page 57
Mechanical, electrical, and electronic diagnostics
Electrical problems
If, during power on, the printer experiences one or all of the follow­ing, it may have a blown transistor:
Smoke coming from inside the machine.
The carriage won’t move.
The carriage hits the right or left side hard.
The carriage moves in only one direction.
Motors only move in one direction
A motor on the machine will try to keep turning after it stops.
The most common reason for a transistor to fail is a bad or old mo­tor. As motors age, their bearings start to break down due to insuf­ cient lubrication. As this break-down happens the transistors have to work harder to move the motor, causing them to heat up and eventually fail. (Figure 36).
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & Testing
57
Solder
Figure 36. A good transitor on the left; the one on the right has failed. The presence of
solder bubbling out of the chip indicates it overheated.
In most cases, both the transistor and motor will need replacement. Contact Ioline Tech Support for more detailed instructions on testing a transistor.
Troubleshooting sensors
The printer uses the same sensor in multiple places for tracking pa­per path status. The sensors are industrial-grade and will withstand many years of use. If a sensor ever fails, the following conditions might occur:
Page 58
58
Ioline FJ Printer & StudioJet Service Manual
1. The paper take up motor will not stop rotating and will pull the paper tight against the platen. This might result in an X motor jam and a ‘popping’ noise during printing.
2. The Paper Out sensors will not detect that the paper feed roll is empty and printing may continue with no paper in the printer.
To replace a defective sensor:
IMPORTANT: Never disconnect or connect sensors to the machine or electronics when power is on. This will permanently damage the sensor and might affect the logic board.
1. Power off the printer.
2. Disconnect the plug from the sensor.
3. Note the orientation of the old sensor, specifi cally where the optical ‘eye’ is pointing.
4. Remove the old sensor by removing the hardware or adhesive.
5. Mount the new sensor in exactly the same orientation as the old one.
6. Connect the plug to the sensor, it is keyed to only connect one­way.
7. Power on and test the installation.
General mechanical / electrical issues
If you encounter any of the following problems, try the diagnostics test outlined below:
The printer didn’t initialize (No LEDs, fans not running, car-
riage didn’t move, small jerking motion during power up)
The printer works, but did not initialize after being reset (e.g.
after printer was turned off, then back on).
Jam messages occur without media or other objects obstructing
normal operation.
The carriage is making loud or unusual sounds.

Simple electrical diagnostics test:
1. Turn the power to the machine off.
2. Inspect the printer for any obvious damage or signs of mechan­ical malfunction.
3. Measure the voltage at the wall socket. Verify that the AC volt­age is between 85 and 250 VAC.
4. Clear all paper from the machine and make sure that nothing is obstructing movement of the front take-up roll.
5. Move the carriage from side to side by hand. If the carriage resists easy movement, the motor may be bad or there could be a short on the main board. (See Motor Problems and Testing the Logic Board later in this chapter.)
Motor problems
The following are possible motor problems:
1. Bad or burned motor components.
2. The motor brushes are worn down.
3. A transistor has blown on the logic board.
4. The motor is unplugged.
5. The encoder is dirty, damaged or unreadable.
Testing the servo ( Y-axis) motor
Perform the following simple test to determine if a motor problem exists.
This test applies to all the motors on the FJ Printer.
Note
Caution
Ensure that the FJ Printer is unplugged from the
wall outlet and that all AC power cables are removed from the printer before replacing the cable.
The discharge of static electric­ity may damage the carriage and logic board components. Use the included ground strap throughout the procedure. Attach one end of the ground strap (included in the Upgrade Kit) to your wrist and the other end to a bare metal portion of the printer (like the frame the holds the service sta­tion.) Keep plastic objects away from the carriage and logic board assemblies. Remove the wrist strap only after the new carriage is attached to the traverse, the cover is installed, and the metal cover is secured over the main logic board.
1. Turn machine off and unplug the power and data cables.
2. Follow the procedure for removing the right cover.
3. Locate the Y-axis motor behind the keypad of the plotter.

4. Unplug the yellow and black wires from the motor.
5. Using a piece of metal (like a paperclip) touch the two connec­tor lugs on the motor. (Putting the paperclip through the holes in the lugs works well.)
6. Move the carriage back and forth slowly by hand.
7. While moving the carriage back and forth, remove the paper­clip from the lugs on the motor.
8. You should notice a huge difference in resistance when touch­ing the lugs together and not. If this is the case, the servo motor is good and does not need replacing.
9. If you notice NO difference when touching the two lugs to­gether and and not, the motor is most likely bad and needs to be replaced.
Testing the X-axis servo motor
1. Follow the procedure for removing the bottom cover.
2. Locate the X axis motor behind the main PCB inside the plotter body.
3. Unplug the red and black wires from the motor.
4. Using a piece of metal (like a paperclip) touch the two connec­tor lugs on the motor. (Putting the paperclip through the holes in the lugs works well.)
5. Rotate the main drive shaft by hand.
6. While rotating the shaft, remove the paperclip from the lugs on the motor.
7. You should notice a huge difference in resistance when touch­ing the terminal lugs together and not. If this is the case, the servo motor is good and does not need replacing.
9. If you notice NO difference when touching the two terminal lugs together, the motor is most likely bad and needs to be replaced.
