The purpose of standby power is to provide the printer with AC power and low voltage DC power. Figure 1 shows the standby power components.
When the power cord is plugged into the power receptacle, ACH (AC High) and ACN (AC Neutral) are sent to the Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS).
The LVPS converts the AC voltage to +42 VDC and +5 VDC. The +42 VDC is used by the Main PWB and the motors in the printer. The +5 VDC is used by the Main PWB and other components in the printer.
The Power On/Reset switch does not remove DC power from the printer. It merely enables and disables the printer operation.
Figure 1 shows the location of the LVPS. Locate the LVPS in the printer.
Run control functions
The run control components perform the following principle functions:
Monitor the input signals during standby.
Provide the output signals to switch the
printer components on and off at the correct time during the print cycle.
Monitor the input signals to detect a printer malfunction during the print cycle.
Main PWB
The Main PWB is the principal printer control component. The Main PWB contains the control logic, which sends signals that are preprogrammed to synchronize the mechanical drive systems and the electrical functions that control the printer. Figure 2 shows the location of the Main PWB.
Locate the Main PWB in the printer.

Control console
The Control Console on the front of the printer contains the pushbuttons, which allow the user to operate the printer, and indicators, which show the user the status of the printer.
The Control Console PWB, located behind the front of the Main Cover, is connected to the Main PWB by a ribbon cable.
When the operator selects a mode, the Control Console PWB sends a signal to the Main PWB. The Main PWB interprets the signal and provides a signal to switch on the corresponding LEDs on the console, which indicates the current mode and the printer status.
Locate the Control Console PWB on the
printer.
Bi-Directional Cable
The Printer is connected to the PC via a parallel cable. If a unidirectional cable is used, only basic Printer status information is transmitted to the PC. In order to achieve the best results from the DocuPrint XJ6C printer, a Bi-directional cable must be used. A Bi-directional cable provides for complete two way communications between the Printer and the PC. Printer Status (Ready, Not Ready, Printhead and Ink levels) and error signals are communicated to the PC via the cable.
Printing and priming
The purpose of the printing subsystem is to supply and deliver ink for the printing process.
This topic is divided into the following sections:
Printing
Print Control
Cleaning and Priming
Printing
The Printhead, located on the Carriage, contains
paper. The Printhead, Ink Cartridges, and the nozzles are shown in Figure 3.

Cleaning and Priming
A microheater is located inside each nozzle. Current is applied to the microheater, which heats the ink inside the nozzle. As the ink heats, a bubble forms, as shown in Figure 4. The pressure from the expanding bubble ejects the ink from the nozzle. After the ink has been ejected from the nozzle, the current is turned off. When the ink cools, the bubble disappears, and the nozzle fills with ink again.
Ink
Bubble

Microheater
Figure 4. Ink ejection from the nozzle
The cleaning and priming functions are used to clean the Ink Cartridges and the nozzles in order to maintain optimum print quality. When the Cartridge Change / Clean button is pressed, the ink that is clogging the nozzles is ejected and removed by the cleaning components. Also, when an Ink Cartridge is replaced and the button is pressed, the priming function takes place automatically. The cleaning and priming components are shown in Figure 5. When the Cartridge Change / Clean button is pressed, the Carriage and the Printhead move to the right into position for Printhead removal and replacement.
Pump
Maintenance Station
When the button is pressed again, the Carriage and Printhead move to the left into to the parked position. At the same time the waste ink tube is clamped by the pinch arm on the Maintenance Station and temporarily restricted. As the paper feed motor rotates, it actuates the pump. The pump action creates a small vacuum on the blocked tube. This creates suction that pulls ink from the Printhead. The waste ink tube moves the ink to the waste ink pad located in the printer base.
The pump is actuated whenever the Paper Feed Motor rotates, creating flow from the Printhead to the pump.
Ink Cartridge
Tube
Print control
The print control logic in the Main PWB sends the print signals to the Ink Cartridge control logic in the Ink Cartridge through a ribbon cable. The ink control logic then turns on the microheaters to eject the ink from the appropriate nozzles. This forms the characters or the graphics as the Carriage scans. The power and ground signals are also sent to the Ink Cartridge. An enable signal is sent from the cartridge to inform the Main PWB that a cartridge is present.

Ink Level Sensing
The Ink Level Sensor measures for a color printhead being present, low, and out of ink conditions. Two angled reflective surfaces are molded into each cartridge. The Ink Level Sensor contains two emitters (ink cartridge present and ink level) and a shared detector.

the printer will display a cartridge missing error condition.
Low Ink Detection: The Ink Level Sensor scans the cartridge ink levels. The sensors level emitter is energized and signals for each cartridge are checked by the shared detector. Infrared light from the emitter is absorbed by the ink in the rear reservoir. If the rear reservoir is empty, the reflective surfaces return a low signal. The printer will display a low ink condition, warning the user that the cartridge will soon be empty.with approximately 10% of the usable ink remaining.
Out of Ink Detection: As printing continues, after the low ink condition is detected, the number of drops printed is reduced by a NVM counter. This value is communicated to the printer status display via a bi-directional parallel cable and is reflected in the ink level “Gas Gauge “ on the users PC screen. This low ink counter is reset to full, when the “not low” to low state change is first detected. Once the counter has reached zero, the printer status screen will display an out of ink error condition. The user must then replace the empty ink cartridge to continue printing. After the user performs a Cartridge change in the printer, the cartridge levels are scanned and the state change is detected by the Ink Level sensor. The state changes from low ink to not low and resets the counters in NVM and clears the out of ink error.
Ink Cartridge Present
As the carriage is moved, the Ink Level Sensor scans the printheads four color cartridges. The Ink Sensors ink cartridge present emitter is energized and its beam reflects off both surfaces and returns to the shared detector (See Figure
7.). If an ink cartridge is not present, or is incorrectly installed, no beam will be reflected and

Carriage Drive
The purpose of the Carriage subsystem is to position the Printhead for the printing process.
This topic is divided into the following sections:
Carriage drive
Encoder
Carriage drive
The Carriage Motor, MOT1, is a stepper motor that is controlled by the Main PWB.
The motor moves the Carriage from right to left and left to right on the Carriage shaft via the Carriage belt and pulleys. The pulleys are mounted on the Encoder (discussed later in this module) and the Carriage Motor. A spring on the Encoder prevents slack in the Carriage belt.
The Carriage Home Sensor, detects the Carriage at the home position. The sensor is mounted on the underside of the Carriage. At power on, or after an error has been cleared, the Carriage moves to the right and then to the left. When the Carriage moves to the home position, the Home Sensor detects the Carriage home plate, which is located on the Encoder plate, and a home position detection signal is sent to the Main PWB. The Carriage drive components are shown in Figure 7.

Carriage movement at power on
disk
The Carriage movement sequence at power on is described below:
1. The Carriage moves to the right to activate the Carriage Home Sensor. This action also wipes the ink nozzles.
2. The Paper Feed Motor turns on and rotates the cam gear to move the Paper Tray up and down. This prepares the first sheet of paper to feed into the printer.
3. The Carriage moves to the right about three inches. The Carriage stops for approximately one second. Then the Carriage increments to the left, where the ink level in the Ink Cartridges is monitored by the Ink Level Sensor. The Carriage then returns to the home position.
Pulley
Encoder
Photosensor
Carriage motor
4. A page is printed and ejected into the Paper Output Shelf. When print data is received, the Carriage moves to the right, the Paper Feed Motor turns on, and the paper is fed to the printing position.
5. The process is repeated for additional pages.
6. When the printing is finished, the Carriage returns to the home position.
General Procedures 6/98
Switch off the printer power. Switch on the
printer power and observe the Carriage movement described in steps 1 through 3 above.
Refer to steps 1 through 5 in the “Replacing /
Swapping the Printhead“ section of the user guide and remove the Printhead. (Do not discard the Printhead.) Be careful not to touch the uncovered nozzles or nozzle area.
Refer to the “Replacing/Swapping the
Printhead“ section of the user guide and reinstall the Printhead.
Figure 8. Encoder
Encoder
The Encoder, shown in Figure 8, tracks the Carriage position. The Encoder contains a disk that has 480 radial lines. The disk is mounted on the same shaft as the Encoder pulley that is moved by the Carriage belt. (See “Carriage drive“ information in this module.) The photosensor detects each radial line and sends a reference signal to the Main PWB for each 1/300 of an inch of Carriage movement from the home position. The Main PWB uses this signal to position the Carriage.

Paper Supply / Paper Feed
The purpose of the paper supply and paper feed subsystem is to store, transport and eject the paper from the printer.
This Topic is divided into the following sections:
Paper supply
Paper feed
Load/Eject mechanism
Paper Supply
For multisheet feeding, paper is supplied to the printer via the Paper Tray. The Paper Tray holds up to 125 sheets of paper 20LB. (See Table 1. Printer Capabilities). Paper guide in the Paper Tray are adjusted to match the size of the paper. Envelopes and cards can be inserted into the Paper Tray for printing by flipping the envelope guide to match the size of the envelopes. Extremely thin paper and chemically processed paper, such as thermal paper, should be avoided as they may result in paper misfeeds.
Paper feed
The paper feed assembly feeds and ejects the paper. The rotational force of the Paper Feed Motor, MOT 2, drives the loading and paper feed mechanisms for registering, feeding and ejecting the paper. Each of these functions is controlled independently by changing the direction of the motor rotation.
Load and eject mechanism
The Paper Feed Motor, MOT 2, when turning in the clockwise direction rotates the paper loading gears and the cam. These gears and cam operate at power up. The cam gear also rotates when paper is loaded (before it is fed). When the cam rotates, the bottom of the Paper Tray moves in and out to position the paper stack in the tray. At the same time the retard pad is energized and moves into the path to prevent more than one sheet of paper being fed at a time. The Retard pad is retracted after the lead edge of the sheet reaches the Paper Feed Switch, SW1.
When the motor rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the paper feed gears, paper feed and exit rolls turn. Paper is fed by the paper feed roller until it is in position for the Printhead to begin placing ink on the paper. At the end of the job, the paper is pressed against the exit roller by the starwheels in the exit guide and is ejected into the paper output shelf. Signals from the Main PWB control the incremental movement of the Paper Feed Motor and the Carriage Motor. This control of the Paper Feed Motor and Carriage Motor allows for precise placement of the ink on the paper.

printer:
Paper Feed Motor
Cam

operation of the Paper Tray and the Paper Feed mechanism during the print cycle.
6/98 General Procedures
XJ6C 6-18 Printer Overview / Technical Overview
Sensors and status indicators
Sensors
The Paper Feed Switch, SW1, detects the presence of the paper and sends a signal to the Main PWB. This signal is used as a reference for the top margin. If the top margin is not detected, no signal is sent to the Main PWB. If the top margin is not detected, the error lamp will light, indicating there is no paper in the Paper Tray. The Paper Feed Switch is shown in Figure 9.
The Cam Sensor, Q1, is located on the cam shaft. The sensor detects the movement of the cam shaft during the power on cycle and sends a cam sensor signal to the Main PWB. The Main PWB uses this signal to control the Paper Feed Motor during the paper loading cycle. The Cam Sensor is shown in Figure
9.
Status indicators
