Section 5 Troubleshooting (Engine and SCSI Controllers)


This section describes how to troubleshoot engine or SCSI controller errors.

If a print quality defect occurs, no error appears on the LCD in most cases. If the printer has

other troubles, the error lamp lights and an error message appears on the LCD.

Print quality defects are judged by nozzle check patterns. If an error message appears, check

the cause and location of the trouble according to the error message and take appropriate

measure. If no error message is displayed, determine the cause and location and take

appropriate measure.

5.1 Print Quality Defects

If a print quality defect occurs, no error message appears on the LCD in most cases. A print

quality defect caused by a head cannot be detected by printing a nozzle check pattern.

The judgement criteria for print quality defects caused by heads during installation or

operation are described below.

1) Check patterns should be in the failure mode range that can be checked with nozzle

check patterns.

2) Determine whether it is caused by the electrical system or ink system.

1. All heads are faulty. --- Electrical system

2. One head is faulty.

Replace the FFC connected to the head with another head, and output a pattern.

- If the symptom appears with the head --- Ink system or head

- If the symptom appears with another head --- Electrical system

5-2

3) Isolation when the ink system is defective

1. If ink cannot be filled

If ink is not absorbed, the possible causes are as follows:

- The cap is stained --- Clean the cap with the cap cleaning liquid.

- The capping position is incorrect. --- Correct the capping position. (See Section 7.7.)

- Capping adsorption defect --- Replace the cap unit or parts. (pump ASSY, cap

ASSY, olyfis, or sensor (AIR)

- Bent ink supply tube --- Correct the tube.

- The head nozzle is stained --- Charge the wipe cleaning liquid.

- Height of the capping unit is incorrect --- Correct height of the capping unit (See

6.3.7).

2. If there is air remaining in the ink tube

Even if there is a little air in the ink tube, it does not affect printing. However, if there

is much air, an ejection error may occur.

- Insufficient cap adsorption --- Replace the cap unit or parts.

- Tube air leak --- Tighten joints.

- Head air leak --- Replace the head.

4) Measure to be taken if a head is defective

If an ejection defect is caused by a head, take the following measure. If the problem is

not solved, replace the head.

1. Manual cleaning

- Cleaning in user mode

When this function is executed, air and dust in the head are removed and menis-

cus is correctly formed.

The problem is mostly solved by manual cleaning.

- The procedure is described in 7.9.2.

2. Fill cap

- Perform this function in the User mode.

This function charges ink into the cap, immerses the head (surface) in ink, leaves

the printer for a while to solve the nozzle choking. Use this function when print

missing cannot be solved even though performing the cleaning repeatedly.

Leave the printer for one or two hours after performing this function.

Instruct users to contact our service centers if the printer cannot be recovered

after leaving for 214 hours.

3. Ink drain

- If the problem is not solved by above steps 1 and 2, there may be air inside the

head and it cannot be discharged.

In this case, leave the printer as it is for a while (1 or 2 hours) or remove ink and

refill refresh ink. (Use a new waste ink bottle when removing ink.)

- See 7.9.4 for a detailed procedure.

- Leave the printer more than one hour after charging ink.

5-3


4. Cleaning with refresh ink

- If the printer is transported or left unused for a long time, the problem may not be

solved by draining ink.

In this case, clean the ink tube path, head damper filter, head filter, and nozzles by

using cleaning maintenance liquid cartridges. (Use a new waste ink bottle for this

cleaning.)

- See 7.9 for a detailed procedure.

5) If it is caused by head rubbing or paper jam

- If paper jams or rubbing occurs frequently, the head nozzle plate may be dam-

aged.

In this case, nozzle dots may not miss, but deflection may occur, causing a poor

print quality.

- The head height must be checked.

Use the optimum paper, set paper correctly, and use the correct environment.

- If the problem cannot be fixed, replace the head itself.

6) If nozzle missing increases

- Verify the head voltage. See and set the recommend voltage written on the

head.

7) Ink adhesion

- If ink adhere to the carridge cable and the head cable, wipe it up immediately.

- If the carridge cable or the head cable is damaged, replace it.

The printer starts according to the normal sequence by turning ON the power switch on the

operation panel.

The following power-on sequence can be used for troubleshooting or special operation.

(1) Power On

Skip the POC of the engine.

The printer can be started by the following procedure without performing the engine POC.

- Press the key and the power switch on the operation panel at the same time.

It is useful to change menu setting when a POC error occurs.

Keep pressing the key until “INITIALIZING” is displayed on the operation panel.

(2) , Power On

Skip the error recovery of the engine.

The printer can be started by the following procedure without performing the error recovery of

the engine.

1. Press the key, the key, and the power switch on the operation panel at the

same time.

2. The printer starts without performing the error recovery and the password input

display appears. (When an error engine error exists, the engine error message is displayed.

However, go step 3.)

3. Put a password (Press the , , , and keys). Top menu of the engine

maintenance mode appears.

There is a case that the Err message is displayed continuously without entering the engine

maintenance mode. In that case, go forward with any keys.

Operations after skipping the error recovery differ from the operations for normal starting by

pressing the power switch in the following points:

(1) The printer works in the engine maintenance mode.

(2) The printer requires no recovery operation for errors (i.e. no paper). Panel operation is

available. However, close the rear cover at rear cover open error.

(3) The printer leaves the menu without performing the adjust pattern print.

(4) The printer leaves the menu without performing the cleaning.

Skipping the error recovery of the engine are useful for the following cases:

(1) Ink draining without paper setting

Ink drawing can be performed without paper setting at reinstallation of the printer. At

normal starting of the printer, the operation panel cannot be operated without paper setting.

(2) Recovery of the damaged NVRAM

When the NVRAM is damaged and an engine error occurs during operation, the damaged

NVRAM can be recovered in the engine maintenance mode on the operation panel.

5-44

5.10 Countermeasures for No Error Message

(1)When no error message appears on the operation panel.

Run the Booting program to display “Booting” on the operation panel.

If “Booting” does not appear on the operation panel, do the followings:

- Check whether the operation panel works correctly.

- Write Boot program.

- Replace the IPB1 board.

- Write ASIC program.

(2)When the printer displays “Booting” on the operation panel, but freezes action.

The Boot program performs H/W POC after displaying “Booting” on the operation panel, and

then copies the SYSTEM program to the SRAM.

If the printer freezes action after displaying “Booting” on the operation panel, do the

followings:

- Rewrite the SYSTEM program.

- Start the printer after removing the WIM1 board. If the problem is fixed, replace the WIM1

board.

- Write ASIC program.

6.3 Maintenance Parts Disassembly and Reassembly

Reassembly procedures are not described in most cases. Reassemble parts in the reverse

order of disassembly. If the replacement procedure is the same, a section to be referred to is

shown.

- Before starting maintenance, turn the power

switch OFF and remove the power cable from

the outlet.

- If ink sticks to an electrical part and an electrically conductive foreign matter

attaches to the ink, it may cause fire, though ink itself is not conductive. If

ink sticks to electrical or other components, wipe it off with cleaning paper.

For information on adjustment procedures, see Section 8, Adjustment.

Skew Correction Procedures

1 Check and correct skew according to the skew checklist.

Screw Check Items

1-1 Paper setting

1) Warp

Check the preset paper for its warp and the paper roll for its looseness.

2) Flange

There shall be no gap between the flange and paper roller end face.

1-2 Mechanism

1) Paper guide F

Check paper guide F for its installation position. The installation height of the guide should

be horizontally leveled. If any skew is found in field, first check the media setting state as

well as the paper guide attachment state.

2) Grid roller attachment (screw loose-fitting in the joint)

Lift the pressurizing unit and check the grid roller for its backlash.

3) Pressurizing roller’s gripping force grip the strip film to the pressurizing unit and check the

gripping force of the film. Follow the measurement steps below:

Apply a gripping force measurement jig (film) to pressuring rollers one by one. Go

down and keep the pressurizing roller. Measure the gripping force using a push-pull

gauge. The gripping force should be measured from roller to roller. A reference value

of the gripping force is 650 g. It can vary depending upon the value of matte-based film

and the surface state.

The measurement value should be a value preset when staring up the film.

Measurement Criteria:

The difference between the measured maximum and minimum values shall be within 30% of the

maximum value. If it exceeds 30%, increase or decrease a load applied to the pressurizing spring

and adjust it so as not to exceed 30 %.

Size of Strip Film*: approx. W40 mm x L 210 mm (*or commercial OHP films)

Punch one position on the end face of thestrip film using a puncher and insert a gaugein the punched hole.

7-42

4) Check the vacuum fan for its operation.

1-3 Paper feeding status

1) Check external impact during paper feeding.

2) Check aerial impact from airconditioners.

1-4 Miscellaneous

1) Paper check: Check that genuine paper is used and there is no crashes or breakage on the end

of paper.

2) Operation environment check

Check that operational environment temperature and humidity are within the specifications.

2 When there is no problem as a result of examination instructed in Section 1, namely screws

have not been corrected, check the positions of the grid roller supporting block and the platen

box.

2-1 Uncover the top cover (right and left plastic covers and Y rail cover).

2-2 Remove the capping unit and the wiping unit.

2-3 Check the positions of the grid roller supporting block and the platen box.

1) Platen box position control point: Apply to X-rail.

2) Grid roller supporting control point: Apply to the paper feeding side of the platen box.

3) Check and correction

Uncover the respective covers and visually inspect the inside from both sides. There

shall be no gap among the X-rail, the platen box and the grid roller supporting block. If

not, loosen the screws fastened to the platen box and the grid roller supporting block.

Let push the platen box and the grid roller supporting block to X-rail, and secure them.

3 When any problem was found as a result of examination instructed in Section 2, follow the

correction steps below:

1) Remove the guide plate, guide plate R and L. Store them so as not subject the tube and FFC

to stress.

2) Remove the bracket to hold the pressurizing unit.

3) Lift the pressurizing bracket. While lifting the bracket, loosen the screws that fasten the grid

roller supporting block using a special screwdriver or ratchet.

4) Push the platen box and the grid roller supporting block up to the specified position, and

fasten the grid roller supporting block securing screws.

5) Attach the pressurizing holding bracket.

6) Attach the guide plate and guide plates R and L.

8) When there is no problem after completion of steps i through vii and skew check, attach the

top cover.


7-43

4 When a problem cannot be found as a result of examination instructed in Sections 1 and 2,

adjust eccentricity of the grid roller.

Correct the optimum value that varies from side to side after paper feeding adjustment patterns

are printed. Incorrect adjustment of eccentricity of the jointed grid roller can generate skew.

Any eccentricity of the grid roller at the wiping unit side can usually generate screw. Adjust the

grid roller towards the wiping unit side. Adjustment steps are as follows:

1) Remove the paper holder at the joint unit, i.e. plastic blade attached to the pressurizing roller.

2) Loosen the two screws that fasten the coupling and turn the grid roller of the wiping unit about

45 degrees.

3) Fasten the two screws, attach the paper holder and check the paper feeding adjustment

patterns.

4) Repeat steps 1) through 3) and find the point where the optimum value of paper feeding

adjustment patterns are equal from side to side. You should turn the grid roller of the wiping

unit one side.

5 Skew Criteria

Print two PATTERN3 (3 m in length and 1-dot checkered patterns) , and judge skew based on the

skew size and printhead rubbing. Paper should not be reset until printings are completed.

Printhead rubbing occurred during printings (2 sheets of paper) should be rejected as NG: Not

Good, even if the skew size

shall be not larger than 5 mm on a longitudinal standard basis.

Section 8 Operations


This section describes the mechanical operations of the paper transport system, carriage

transport system, ink system, and operations of the electric control system, engine controller

firmware, and network controller firmware.

8.1 System Operation Overview

The roll paper set in the printer is fed by grid rollers and passed over the platen in the X

direction. The piezo heads that pass over the platen in Y direction eject color inks for

printing. The platen sucks paper with a vacuum fan to adjust the correct gap between the

paper and the head.

The heads installed on the carriage are driven by the carriage motor (DC servo motor) with

a steel belt and moved horizontally.

The head position is detected with a linear scale, linear encoder, and edge sensor.

A maintenance stage (MS) is installed to prevent stains and damage to the head surface due

to drying when it is not used for a long time.

The MS protects the head surface by its cleaning with a wiper, suction and capping with the

capping unit.

Cleaning is performed after printing a specified area.

Capping is performed automatically by the capping unit after printing. Ink is supplied

directly to the head from the ink cartridge through a tube.

The printer has three heaters; a front heater for pre-heating of the media in the for media

supply side, a print heater for penetrating and fixing ink under the platen unit, and a rear

heater for drying in the media outlet side.

The paper feed unit and paper delivery unit have a paper feed sensor and a paper delivery

sensor to detect paper jams.

1) Paper feed unit

The paper feed unit can perform 2-way feeding of roll paper and cut sheets. The paper feed

unit can be operated from the front.

- Remove roller paper and set cut sheets according to the guide line on the front paper guide.

- The Pressure roller up/down lever is used to release the pressure roller grip when roll paper

and cut sheets are set. The lever sensor is a photosensor located near the nip release lever

on the right side frame to detect lever opening/closing. If the nip is released, paper cannot

be transported. Therefore, if nip release is detected, the machine operation stops. If the nip

is detected again, paper may be set again, it is used as a signal that performs a paper

detection sequence.

- Roll paper or cut sheets are specified from the operation panel. The type of media is also

specified from the operation panel.

- The paper feed sensor is a reflective type photosensor installed on the paper feed

controller. It detects paper by reflection over its surface so that the engine controller

firmware recognizes the paper condition.

2) Drive unit

The drive unit consists of an X motor (paper feed motor), a grip roller, a pressure roller and

a lever. The paper feed motor is a DC servo motor for paper feeding, which is controlled by

the software servo control unit of the engine controller. When this motor is run, the grip

roller turns and transports the paper gripped by the pressure roller. The pressure roller is

gripped or released by the lever.

3) Platen and suction fan

When paper is transported to the platen, it stucks to the platen by sucking air through the

holes in the platen to prevent its lift and contact with the print heads.

There are three sction fans. Each of the three fans can be driven independently of each other

according to media width.

The sucked air is exhausted from the bottom of the machine.

4) Paper guide, paper delivery sensor

The paper guide is a guide plate that is curved to prevent bending of the printed paper on the

platen. The paper delivery sensor is a reflective type photosensor installed on the paper

outlet, which detects paper by reflection over its surface so that the engine controller

firmware recognizes the paper condition.

5) Interlock switches

The four interlock switches are installed on the rear cover to detect cover opening/closing.

When the cover is opened, the interlock switches turn OFF to forcibly turn OFF the +35 V

and +24 V power of the power supply unit. The carriage and other drive units are forced to

stop.

8-4

6) Winder

The printer can print a drawing up to 50 m long. The winder is used to wind such a long

drawing and is installed on the bottom of the electrical box of the main unit. The winder

must be installed when installing the printer.

The winder consists of a winding unit (right and left), a loose sensor and a winding scroller.

The winding scroller has a paper core at the time of installation. If another paper core is

necessary, use a paper core of an used paper roll.

Tape paper on the scroller paper core, and set paper so that it moves over the sensor on the

right winding unit. This sensor is called a loose sensor and when paper blocks the sensor

light path, the engine controller firmware recognizes that the paper is loose and winds it.

If the winder is not used, place, the tension bar on the winder unit.

(1) Tension winding

The printer supports the tension winding mode winding the media with pulling tention by

the winding unit, additionally to the slant winding mode.

The following two items must be done to alternate the winding mode.

1. Wwinding mode alternation the operation panel.

2. Changing the tension bar position.

(2) External winding / internal winding

The winding direction can be selected regardless of the winding modes.

Change the winding direction by using the alternation switch on the winding unit.

Only when the slant mode is used, the sensor position must be adjusted according to the

winding directions.

(3) ON/OFF

Set the external winding/internal winding switch lever center to turn the winding unit OFF.

8-5


8.3 Carriage Transport System

The carriage transport system consists of units 1 to 7.

1) Carriage motor

DC servo motor located under the left cover of the printer. This motor moves the carriage

forward and backward and controls its speed from the minimum to the maximum value.

The speed is controlled by detecting motor revoluations and position from the linear encoder

installed on the Y rail. (The ink ejection timing is controlled by the linear encoder signal.

There are three carriage speeds:

1) 678 mm/sec (Printing)

2) 230 mm/sec (For maintenance, except for printing)

3) 20 mm/sec (Paper edge detection)

2) Carriage

The carriage is a print unit installed on the Y rail of the printer with a bearing, and is driven

by a motor with a steel belt. This unit has a carriage board, six heads, an edge sensor, and a

linear encoder.

3) Carriage board

The board installed on the carriage has the following features:

- Relay data, clock, head drive voltage, etc. coming from the engine control board to the

heads.

- Relay signals from sensors, such as thermistor output (head temperature), paper edge

detection, inside temperature, and linear scale reading, installed on the carriage.

- Convert a differential signal coming from the engine control board to the signal format

appropriate to the print heads.

4) Edge sensor

Located at the side of the carriage. The edge sensor detects paper on the platen, the right and

left sides, and leading edge of paper, and controls the entire printing as a reference for paper

when the CPUT on the engine control board detects print start position, cut position and

skew. The edge sensor sends a signal from the carriage board to the engine control board and

it is detected by the CPU.

5) Home position sensor

Photosensor located at the home position of the Y rail of the printer.

The engine controller cannot recognize the carriage position immediately after the power

turns ON, so it is moved to the position (home position) where the home position sensor

turns ON to detect the initial position of the carriage.

6) T fence (linear scale), linear encoder

Sensor (photointerrupter) installed on top of the carriage. Since the absolute position of the

carriage must be recognized at all time for printing, a T fence (linear scale) is installed in the

range of the carriage movement. The linear encoder sensor reads the linear scale and

generates two-phase clocks with different phases. The engine controller firmware

recognizes the absolute position of the carriage all the time by counting pulses from this

sensor. The signal detected by the linear encoder is used for servo control of the carriage

motor. Ink is ejected from the head nozzle according to the output signal from this sensor.

1) Heads

The heads used for the printer are driven by electrostriction vibrators. A signal voltage pulse

is applied to a piezo element to distort it and change the capacity of the ink pressure chamber

to eject ink.

The printer has six heads for six colors, using a head with 512 nozzles for each color, to

implement high-speed printing.

- Drive frequency

Each nozzle is driven on 10 KHz, and the ABC sequence is driven on 30 KHz.

Since the print head changes the capacity of the ink pressure chamber by distorting the

piezo elements arranged like comb teeth, the adjacent channels cannot be ejected at the

same time.

The incoming print data is divided into three groups (A, B, and C) for which ink is

ejected in order.

Since the basic nozzle layout of the head is 180 dpi, a resolution of 720 dpi is

implemented by four passes.

- Temperature control

Ink changes in viscosity with temperature, so the drive voltage is controlled according to

the temperature.

- Air damper

To prevent damage to the head meniscus by the movement of the ink in the ink tube due

to acceleration of the carriage, a damper is installed to reduce variations of pressure.

2) Ink cartridge

Ink is contained in a laminate film pack. The capacity of each color ink cartridge is 500 ml.

A pack is set in the plastic cartridge (case). The ink pack has a sensor that detects the

remaining amount of ink. A memory chip is installed in the end of the pack (near the ink

supply section) to store IDs in the manufacture process and store various logs from the

printer during use.

Memory ID: Ink type ID (color)

Manufacture date

Unit record log: Ink consumption

8-8

3) Cartridge box

The cartridge box has ink cartridge slots: three slots for Bk, Lc, and Lm at the left, and three

slots for C, M, and Y at the right side of the printer. The cartridge box has an insertion error

prevention mechanism, shutter, ink needle, and an ink relay board.

- Insertion error prevention mechanism, shutter

Each color ink cartridge has a different insertion error prevention key and the cartridge

box face has a slit corresponding to each cartridge. Each cartridge can only be inserted

into its slot. When an ink cartridge is installed, the shutter opens automatically. If no

cartridge is installed, the inside of the slot is protected.

- Ink needle

A needle is inserted into the spout of the ink cartridge pack, the ink in the pack joins and

is supplied to the tube.

- Ink relay board

Relay board that reads from and writes into the ink cartridge memory

- Ink cartridge cover switch

Microswitch located under the right and left ink cartridge covers Switch that detects ink

cartridge cover opening and closing.

When this switch detects closing of the cover after replacing the ink cartridge, an ink

cartridge replacement sequence starts.

4) Ink supply tube

The ink in the ink cartridge set in the printer is supplied to the head unit through the ink

needle, filter, ink pump, and ink tube.

The 20-micron filter that follows the ink needle traps rubber scraps that are produced when

the ink cartridge pack is torn.

When an ink cartridge is installed, the ink is supplied to each ink pump by an ink charge

operation.

5) Capping unit

- Configuration

The capping unit is located at the right side of the printer. The capping unit is driven by

a pump motor and two air open solenoids. When the pump motor runs normally, it turns

the cam, lifts the cap and rotates the pump (suction). When the motor runs reversely, the

cap is lowered and no pump operation is performed with a one-way clutch.

- Functions

When the carriage is at its home position, capping and ink suction is performed with the

pump motor. When the carriage is at its home position, capping is performed to protect

the head surface. A porous sheet is installed in the cap rubber to prevent ink bubbling in

the cap during suction and suck ink in the cap during empty suction.

8-9


- Ink pump

The ink pump is a rotary tube pump that sucks ink by squeezing the rubber tube by

rotation. The ink pump rotates the cam roller with a pump motor and squeezes the rubber

tube to suck ink. The pump tube is always squeezed by the cam roller, so ink does not

flow back. Three or six colors are sucked at the same time by turning the air open

solenoid ON/OFF that will be described later. The waste ink sucked by the pump is

discharged into the waste ink bottle.

- Air open solenoid

The air open solenoid is a DC solenoid, and opens or closes the orifice at the end of the

tube connected to the cap rubber with the rubber installed at the end of the solenoid

plunger by turning the solenoid ON/OFF.

The DC solenoid plunger has a spring, and its force is used to close the orifice to shut out

the outside air.

Two DC air open solenoids are used to control suction of Bk, Lc, Lm, and C, M, Y.

When ink is sucked by an ink suction operation and the pressure is released, the cap

rubber is filled with ink.

Meniscus is formed in the head nozzles by removing (sucking) the ink.

If this operation is not performed, the meniscus is broken when the cap filled with ink is

opened.

The ink in the cap and the air are sucked by turning the air open solenoids ON and

performing a suction (empty suction) operation to form a meniscus.

6) Wiping unit

- Configuration

The wiping unit is located at the left of the printer (the opposite side of the capping unit).

The wiper blade is used by installing an urethane rubber on a caterpillar belt. The wiper

unit rotates the belt on which the wiper blade is installed and wipes the head surface with

the blade edge. The wiper is rotated by running the wipe motor (DC motor) in the unit.

The motor runs in only one direction.

- Functions

The wiper blade cleans the head surface to prevent ink ejection bending.

The pad cleans the wiper blade that cleans the head surface.

The wipe motor turns the wipe blade.

7) Waste ink bottle

The waste ink bottle is made of HDP (High Density Polyethylene).

The waste ink is used to collect the waste ink absorbed by pumps. The maximum capacity

of the bottle is approx.3 little.

8-10

8.5 Print Functions

1) Cleaning sequence

The printer has the following cleaning sequence to maintain the optimum printing. Cleaning

is performed with the capping unit, wiping unit and ink system control firmware. Flushing is

carried out with the head unit and control firmware.

- Manual cleaning

Manual cleaning is performed by operating the menu from the operation panel. It is used

if missing nozzle dots are not solved by automatic cleaning that is performed by the

printer.

- Automatic cleaning

This cleaning is performed automatically during printing.

- Cleaning when the printer is not used (fill cap)

This cleaning is performed automatically when the printer is not used to guarantee the

optimum printing for the next printing.

- Paper jam

If a paper jam occurs, paper may touch the head nozzles, and dust may stick to them or

meniscus may be damaged. It is carried out after clearing the jam.

- Interval, time, and ink consumption

2) Head drive voltage control

- Head drive voltage rank setting

The head drive voltage is set for each color to keep a constant density and stabilize ink

ejection. Since the drive voltage differs due to manufacture variations (lot, material

characteristics, and processing), the voltage is marked on each head at the production

stage. The drive voltage shown on the head is set from the operation panel in the

adjustment process in the unit assembly plant.

- Temperature control

As temperature decreases, the viscosity of ink increases, and as it increases, the viscosity

decreases. When viscosity increases, high energy is required to eject ink. On the

contrary, when viscosity decreases, energy may be low. The ejection energy is

controlled by changing voltage. It is controlled digitally. The temperature of the head

PZT element is detected with a thermistor, and a specific drive voltage is set and the head

is driven by engine controller firmware control. The parameters for this temperature

control is listed, and it is different for each head voltage rank.

3) Bi-directional shift correction in the main scanning direction

Print dot position correction function during bi-directional printing of the carriage

4) Head position correction

This function corrects the position where the ink drop hits if it is incorrect due to the head

installation position or head ink ejection speed variations.

5) Side registration correction

This function corrects the print start position in the paper width direction. Variations of each

unit for the design value are corrected by software.

6) Edge registration correction

This function corrects the print start position in the paper feeding direction. Variations of

each unit for the design value are corrected by software.

7) Vertical magnification correction

This function corrects variations in paper feed amount. Variations of each unit for the design

value are corrected by software.

8) Dot position adjustment in the sub-scanning direction

The dot drop position of each head is adjusted by adjusting the paper feeding direction of

each head is adjusted mechanically (with screws).

9) Head inclination adjustment

The inclination of each head is adjusted mechanically by turning it (with eccentric pins) to

adjust the position where the ink drop hits.

10) Head L, R adjustment

The jet timing of right and left heads are adjusted.

8-12

11) Paper smoothness action

If paper is left in the printer for a long time, the leading edge may be wrinkled and cause a

paper jam.

The paper is discharged when printing starts after the setting time to eliminate such a

deformed part of paper.

• Operations

When the printer receives no print data and waits a print at exceeding of setting time, the

printer feeds the edge of the paper roll automatically upto the front of the rear cover.

(This action is ommitted when the edge of the paper roll exists in the front of the rear

cover.)

After receiving print data, the printer performs paper smoothness action (repetitious feed

and rewind) and then cuts the edge of the paper roll automatically.

(When using the winder unit, the printer feeds the paper upto the edge of the paper roll and

prints after performing the paper smoothness action.)

At powering off the printer, the printer feeds the edge of the paper roll upto the front of the

rear cover and then shutdowns automatically. (When using the winder unit, the printer

shutdown with no action.)

When using the sheet paper, the printer feeds out the paper after setting time.

• Parameter = NONE

Automatic edge cut function does not work in all types of paper.

• Parameter = 30 min

Automatic paper smoothness action works after 30 minutes for all types of paper.

Before 30 minites, the printer performs paper smoothness action before print.

(Do not set 30 min for the sheet paper.)

• Parameter= 1 hour

Automatic paper smoothness action works after 1 hour for all types of paper.

• Parameter = 2 hour

Automatic paper smoothness action works after 2 hours for all types of paper.

• Parameter= 4 hour

Automatic paper smoothness action works after 4 hours for all types of paper.

8-13


• Selection criteria, paper waste length

NOTE

1. Paper waste length shows paper feed length for cutting a paper wrinkle.

2. Determine a setting time according to condition of use to avoid paper wrinkle.

For example, choose "1 hour" when you print in one-hour interval and want to

avoid paper wrinkle.

12) Drying time setting function

For media with slow drying time, if the next print is made after ink dries, ink may blur.

To prevent this problem, the function provides a wait time for each scan and prints after ink

dries.

8.6 Principle of Head Drive

Head diagonal view

Head structure

The head ink drive unit consists of an actuator with grooves that look like comb teeth, a

cover plate, and a nozzle plate.

The actuator consists of a channel filled with ink, a wall and an electrode formed on the half

of the wall.

There is an orifice (hole) for ink ejection for each channel.

Ink is ejected from the orifice by vibrating the wall.

8.8 IPB1(Engine Control) Board

8.8.1 Basic configuration

Figure 8-7 is a block diagram that shows basic hardware configuration of the IP-6600

printer. It consists of six basic blocks (hatched areas).

Fig. 8-7 Basic hardware configuration

8-19


8.8.2 Engine Unit Operation

- Head board (Head assembly)

The head board has piezo elements with 512 nozzles and eight driver ICs, and has six heads

for six colors.

The head assembly is connected with the carriage board that relays a head signal with a 30-

pole FFC cable.

The drive voltage for the head piezo element is 16 V (set by the F/W according to the

temperature feedback). The logic voltage is 5 V.

- Connector conversion board (PCB-ASSY-CNB1H)

The connector conversion board is used to change the head board connector to the connector

for the TFC cable.

- Carriage board (PCB-ASSY-IPB1)

The carriage board is installed on the carriage and relays data to six head assemblies. In

addition to relaying data to the heads, it has the head temperature detection voltage and

carriage internal ambient temperature detection voltage buffer and selection (amplifier

circuit/analog multiplex) circuit.

It contains the edge sensor for paper width and leading edge position detection (light-

emitting diode current can be changed in four steps by the firmware), linear encoder (two

phases, 180 dpi), and paper cutter up/down solenoid driver.

It also has a driver/receiver IC as the data transfer circuit between the carriage and engine

controller.

- Engine controller board (PCB-ASSY-IPB1)

The engine controller board is a core circuit block of the print engine and provides the

following functions.

(1) CPU (single-chip 32-bit CPU (SH-2)), peripheral I/O, A/D converter (internal)

(2) Memory (SRAM memory (program), flash memory (boot program, system program,

test pattern, engine parameter backup, basic alphanumeric fonts (bitmap fonts)

storage), SDRAM (band memory storage), IC memory card (program load), NVRAM

(parameter store))

(3) I/O (counter/timer, POI, RTC)

(4) Host interface (SCSI I/F)

(5) X, Y motor control (DC servo control), other motor control (ON/OFF control)

(6) Various sensors/actuator/mechanical switch port control (solenoid, interlock switch,

photosensors, etc.)

(7) Head drive voltage variable control (15 to 32 V): VDD2 board that is different from

the IPB1.

(8) Data pass conversion (band memory control, data conversion, dot interpolation,

margin generation, print mode, forward/backward print)

(9) Operation panel control (Dedicated circuit: The dedicated circuit for communication

with the panel is incorporated in the PTG (BRP).)

(10) Others (Detection of the paper end)

- Service station

Capping unit: Cap the heads and suck.

Wiping unit: Wipe head nozzle surface.

8-20

Motors and Solenoids

- Ink cartridge

The printer supplies ink directly to the heads through tubes. Therefore, ink only exists in the

head internal flow paths and ink tubes, as well as ink cartridges.

The printer detects the remaining amount of ink in an ink cartridge by counting (calculating)

the number of ink ejections. If it exceeds a specific value, a near-end warning is given. An

ink cartridge contains an involatile memory (serial EEPROM) to store and update the

remaining quantity of ink in each color ink cartridge. This memory contains ink IDs and

manufacture dates, etc. to maintain ink quality. The remaining amount of ink is also

detected from the change in the tube shape in the cartridge. If the sensor located on the

bottom of the ink cartridge detects ink-out, the end of ink is reached.

The communication with the involative memory is performed by F/W timing control

through the PIO port on the engine controller board.

- Mechanical control block

This block has a main function of controlling the carriage motor and paper motor DC servo.

In addition, it controls and operates the actuators (pump motors, wiper motors, solenoids,

cutter motor, vacuum fans, etc.) of the service station and ink supply system.

- Data pass system

This block receives data from a host or network controller in the engine controller, buffers

and processes it into head transfer data, and sends it to the heads. All its functions are

implemented by hardware.

- Band memory

The band memory is a memory that is physically separated from the main memory (CPU

system memory + work RAM), and is a band image memory area that temporarily stores

image from an upstream device. Images can be written directly into the memory from the

CPU, and test patterns are generated in this way. Images are written directly into the band

memory without passing through the CPU from an upstream SCSI I/F or network controller.

Image data transfer from the host computer to the print engine supports three methods: line

order, band surface order, and cell order.

When a scan starts, data required for a scan is maintained, so it is called a band.

Although it is a band memory, image data arrangement in it is different according to print

modes (high speed, standard, super high quality).

[Band memory specifications]

(1) Memory capacity 256 MB for six colors

(2) Memory 256-Mbit synchronous DRAM

(3) Power supply voltage +3.3 V

- ATG (Band Memory Address Generator) block

This block corresponds to a gate array. It reads from and writes into the band memory

(SDRAM) at high speed. It writes in the scanning direction and reads in the direction of

nozzles (the scanning direction is perpendicular to the nozzle direction for this printer).

Therefore, orthogonal conversion is performed.

[ATG function]

(1) Block memory access

(2) Memory address generation

(3) Synchronous DRAM timing generation

(4) Mirror processing (bit swap: forward path ->, backward path <-)

- RSM block

This block performs various processes, such as addition of right and left print margins in

each print mode and mirror processing (bit swap) for bi-directional printing, and finally

transfers processed data to the PTG block.

[RSM function]

(1) Orthogonal conversion (horizontal/vertical conversion)

(2) Dummy data addition in X direction (main scanning direction)

(3) Dummy data addition in Y direction (sub scanning direction)

(4) PTG transfer (PTG interface)

(5) Mask processing. Mask scan line or column data according to print mode (720 x 720

dpi, 8 passes, bi-directional printing)

8-23


- Head data transmission FIFO

This FIFO is built into the BRP and located between the RSM and PTG. It functions as an

intermediate buffer to transfer binary head data converted to head nozzle arrangement from

the RSM to each of the six heads.

- PTG (Pixel Timing Generator) block

This block serially transfers the head data converted by the preceding ATG block (data

converted to nozzle arrangement) to driver ICs in six head assembly (eight driver ICs for

each head), and adjusts timings for kicking ink ejection at a desired timing in

synchronization with the ejection timing from the linear scale.

[PTG specifications]

(1) 720 dpi ejection rate (fire rate) generation

(2) Fire timing adjustment

A positional shift in the scan direction is set as a parameter for each of six heads, and fire

timing is fine-adjusted. Specifically, each fire interval is divided into approx. 16

minutes and a desired time constant is added to fire timing.

(3) Uni-directional/bi-directional printing

Bi-directional printing is basically performed. Thus, the change in head control

according to the printing direction is set as a parameter, and fire timing is fine-adjusted.

(4) Three-phase timing

Control fire timing by three groups A, B, and C, which is unique to the heads.

- Image interface

A normal voltage level differential driver receiver is used as a driver receiver for the image

interface for the CRG.

- Head drive voltage control (VDD2)

This circuit is a variable regulator circuit that varies the head driver IC drive voltage. The

variable voltage can be varied dynamically in the range +12 V to +32 V according to an

algorithm (table) by feeding back the head (PZT) surface temperature. The +36 V variable

voltage supply line must be controlled for each head, a total of six channel circuits are

implemented.

VDD2 out channel Head voltage for ICB board

ch2 --> ON voltage for head 1 and head 2.

ch5 --> OFF voltage for head 1 and head 2.





<Example>

The VDD2 board generates higher voltage of head 1 ON voltage or head 2 ON voltage +a

from ch2, and ther ICB1 board regulates head 1 ON voltage and head 2 voltage.

The head drive voltage is controlled by feeding back the head temperature during print because

the suitable head drive voltage changes successively according to the head temperature.

8-24

- Operation panel

The operation panel is used to input various parameters of the printer and display

information. It has a LCD module and input keys. The operation panel is controlled directly

by the CPU on the engine controller (via PTG). Therefore, print adjustment patterns are

output and various maintenance functions can be executed from the operation panel.

[Operation panel requested specifications]

(1) LCD 16 characters, 2 lines

Alphanumeric (with backlight)

(2) Key tops , online, enter, cancel, shift

(3) LEDs ONLINE, DATA, ERROR, INK, ROLL

(One for INK/ROLL each)

8.10.3 ON/OFF sequence

The power on/off state transition is shown below. The main switch is a circuit breaker.

8.10.4 Others

(1) Interlock release

When the printer's interlock is released, +36 V (CH1) outputs are forcibly turned OFF

through a relay. The other voltages (+5 V, +12 V,+24 V) are not affected.

(2) Voltage variable trimmer

CHI +5V can be adjusted.

(3) Leakage breaker

Inserted into both AC line LIVE (HOT) and NEUTRAL (COLD).

Rating: 100 to 240 V, 15 A

(4) Power supply fan

A +12 V Brussels UL standard fan is used.

(5) Overcurrent protection/overvoltage protection

All the outputs from the overcurrent and overvoltage protection circuits are OFF when

the +5 V protection circuit works, and +12 V/+24 V/+36 V output is OFF when the

+12V/+24 V/+36 V protection circuit works. The output is restored by turning the

power ON again.
