Chapter 1 1.7 Safety and Precautions 1.7.1 Safety Precautions 1.7.1.1 Moving Parts 0023-1446 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 Moving parts of the printer include the carriage unit driven by the carriage motor, the carriage belt, the ink tube, the flexible cable, the feed roller driven by the feed motor, the pinch roller, and the purge unit driven by the purge motor.
Chapter 1 1.7.1.2 Adhesion of Ink 0023-1463 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 (1) Ink passages Be careful not to touch the ink passages of the printer to prevent the printer, workbench, ands, and clothes from being stained with ink. The ink flows through the ink tank unit, carriage unit, purge unit, maintenance cartridge, and the ink tubes that relay ink to individual units.
Chapter 1 1.7.1.3 Electric Parts 0023-1464 iPF765 / iPF755 The electric parts of the printer are activated when the printer is connected to the AC power supply. At the rear and left/right side of the printer are the main controller, power supply, HDD, and interface connector. The carriage PCB is incorporated in the carriage unit, and the operation panel is on the upper right top cover.
Page 81
Chapter 1 1.7.1.4 Electric Parts 0023-2465 iPF760 / iPF750 The electric parts of the printer are activated when the printer is connected to the AC power supply. At the rear and left/right side of the printer are the main controller, power supply and interface connector. The carriage PCB is incorporated in the carriage unit, and the operation panel is on the upper right top cover.
Chapter 1 1.7.2 Other Precautions 1.7.2.1 Printhead 0020-1924 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 1. How to Handle the Printhead Do not open the printhead package until you are ready to install the head. When installing the printhead in the printer, hold the knob and then remove the protective cap 1 and protective cap 2 in that order. Do not reattach the protective cap to the printhead because the cap may damage the nozzles.
Chapter 1 1.7.2.2 Ink Tank 0023-1466 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 1. Unpacking the Ink Tank Do not unpack the ink tank until you are ready to install it. When installing the ink tank, be sure to shake it slowly 1 to 2 times before unpacking it. Otherwise, the ink ingredients may precipitate and degrade the print quality. To prevent foreign matter from entering the ink port, install the unpacked ink tank in the printer immediately.
Page 84
Chapter 1 3. Contact of Linear Scale/Carriage Shaft Do not touch the linear scale and carriage shaft when the upper cover is opened, for maintenance. Touching the linear scale and carriage shaft might cause abnormal movement of the carriage and produce defective prints. F-1-47 [1] Linear Scale [2] Carriage Shaft...
Chapter 1 1.7.3 Precautions When Servicing Printer 1.7.3.1 Notes on the Data Stored in the Printer 0013-5942 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 This printer counts the print length, number of ink tank replacements, carriage driving time, number of cleaning operations, number of cutter operations, and so on and stores them in the main controller's EEPROM as a COUNTER in Service mode.
Chapter 1 1.7.3.6 Disposing of the Lithium Battery 0013-5952 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 The main controller PCB of this printer is equipped with a lithium battery to back up various data.

Chapter 2 2.1.3 Print Signal Sequence 0025-9730 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 The signal sequence from when the printer receives the print signals until printing starts is shown in the following figure. Image data Host computer Mask pattern data Heat pulse Printer driver Command data...
Chapter 2 2.1.4 Print Driving 0012-6491 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 Print and control signals are transferred via the carriage PCB to the printheads to discharge inks from the nozzle assembly at printing. Each printhead has 12 trains of nozzles arranged in a zigzag pattern. This printer uses one printhead.
Page 95
Chapter 2 2. Print drive timing Each printhead houses 12 trains of nozzles, which share the same data transfer clock (Hx-CLK) and data latch pulses (Hx-LT). Even-numbered nozzle data (Hx-x-DATA-x-EV), odd-numbered nozzle data (Hx-x-DATA-x-OD) and the Heat Enable (Hx-x-HE-x) signal are generated for each nozzle train and controlled individually.
Chapter 2 2.2 Firmware 2.2.1 Operation Sequence at Power-on 0012-6310 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 The sequence of printer operations, from power-on to transition to online mode, is flowcharted below. The printer takes less than 1 minute to initialize itself(*). * Excluding the times spent supplying inks and cleaning the printhead after leaving the printer for extended periods of time.
Chapter 2 2.2.2 Operation Sequence at Power-off 0012-6311 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 Turning off the power switch cuts off the drive voltage supply, launching a firmware power-off sequence as shown below. If the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet or the upper cover or any other cover is opend, the printer cancels the ongoing operation and shuts down immediately.
Chapter 2 2.2.3 Print Control 0023-2633 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 1. Print mode This printer is capable of fast, high-quality printing without blur and non-uniform density by changing the carriage operation, media feeding, other printing methods according to the selected media type, print quality, print data and so on. Printing is performed for each color using a maximum of 16 paths in each print mode according to the selected print quality.

Chapter 2 2.2.4 Print Position Adjustment Function 0012-6313 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 This printer supports a print position adjustment for the vertical and horizontal print positions, the bidirectional print position of the printhead mounted on the car- riage, and the feedrate.
Chapter 2 2.2.10 Hard Disk Drive 0013-9239 iPF765 / iPF755 This printer features a hard disk drive, which provides the following functions. - Early release of the host computer - Error recovery - Job preservation - Preserved job print - Job queue handling 1) Early release of the host computer Each print job received from the host computer is preserved to the hard disk drive attached to the printer, so the printer can proceed with independent printing, releasing the host computer before the print job completes.
Chapter 2 2.3 Printer Mechanical System 2.3.1 Outline 2.3.1.1 Outline 0023-1469 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 The printer mechanism can be broadly divided into two major components: the ink passage and paper path. The ink passage consists of the ink tank unit, the carriage unit having the printhead, the purge unit, the maintenance cartridge, and the tube unit which are used to supply, circulate, and suck ink.
Chapter 2 2.3.2.2 Ink Tank Unit 2.3.2.2.1 Structure of Ink Tank Unit 0023-1471 iPF765 / iPF760 / iPF750 / iPF755 a) Ink tank Each ink tank contains 130 ml of ink (the starter ink tank supplied with the printer contains 90 ml of ink) for each color. The amount of ink is memorized in the EEPROM mounted to the ink tank.
