These include the carriage unit activated by the carriage motor, carriage belt, ink tube and flexible cable; feed motor-driven feed roller and pinch roller; and purge motor-driven purge unit.
Page 94: Adhesion Of Ink
Chapter 1 1.7.1.2 Adhesion of Ink 0014-0264 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 1. Ink passages Be careful not to touch the ink passages of the printer or to allow ink to stain the workbench, hands, clothes or the printer under repair. The ink flows through the ink tank unit, carriage unit, purge unit, maintenance-jet tray, borderless print ink groove, maintenance cartridge and the ink tubes that relay ink to each unit.
Page 95 Chapter 1 2. Ink mist Since the printhead prints by squirting ink onto the media, a minute amount of ink mist is generated in the printing unit during printing. The ink mist is collected in the printer by the airflow. However, uncollected ink mist may stain the platen unit, carriage unit, main rail unit, external unit, or purge unit. These stains may soil the print media or hands and clothes when servicing the printer, wipe them off carefully with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth.

When installing the printhead in the printer, hold the knob[1] and then remove the protective cap 1[2] and protective cap 2[3] in that order. Do not reattach the protective cap 2[3] to the printhead because the cap may damage the nozzles[4].

When installing the ink tank, be sure to shake it slowly 7 to 8 times before unpacking it. Otherwise, the ink ingredients may precipitate and degrade the print quality. To prevent foreign matter from entering the ink port, installed the unpacked ink tank in the printer immediately.

Chapter 2 2.2.2 Operation Sequence at Power-off 0012-6311 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 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.
Page 121: Print Control
Chapter 2 2.2.3 Print Control 0012-6312 iPF9000 1. Print modes Print methods, such as carriage and paper feed operation, are varied according to the media type, print quality, kind of print data and so forth to achieve high-quality high-speed print free from blurring and uneven density. Because each color prints in up to 16 passes according the print quality requirement for a print mode, uneven density problems caused by variations in the rate of discharge among different nozzles are eliminated.
Page 122 Chapter 2 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. This reduces density irregularities caused by the variation in the amounts of ink discharged from individual nozzles. In addition, it shifts the printing timing so that the current ink layer is nearly fixed before the next ink layer is applied, thus minimizing bleeding.

Chapter 2 2.3 Printer Mechanical System 2.3.1 Outline 2.3.1.1 Outline 0012-6326 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 The printer mechanism is broken down into two broad sections: ink passage and paper passage. The ink passage consists primarily of carriage unit[2] that houses ink tanks[1] and a printhead, purge unit[3] and maintenance cartridge[4], and supplies, circulates, sucks and otherwise handles inks.
Page 139: Ink Passage
Chapter 2 2.3.2 Ink Passage 2.3.2.1 Ink Passage 2.3.2.1.1 Overview of Ink Passage 0012-6328 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 The ink passage comprises ink tanks, a printheads, caps, a maintenance jet tray, a maintenance cartridge, ink tubes interconnecting the mechanical components of the printer, and a suction pump that is driven to suck inks.

Chapter 2 2.3.2.2 Ink Tank Unit 2.3.2.2.1 Structure of Ink Tank Unit 0012-6329 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 a) Ink tanks The ink level in each ink tank is memorized in EEPROM attached to the tank and is detected as a dot count on the basis of the EEPROM information. When an electrode attached to a hollow needle detects no continuity, it displays a message reporting that the ink tank is nearly empty.
Page 141 Chapter 2 e) Subtank The subtank installed under each ink tank complements the work of the ink tank, agitating the ink in the tank. If the ink tank runs out of the ink while printing, the ink stored in the subtank is available, allowing the ink tank to be replaced without having to stop printing. f) Ink supply valves Ink tank supply valves are located halfway between the ink tanks and the ink tubes.

Page 143: Structure Of Carriage Unit
Chapter 2 2.3.2.3.2 Structure of Carriage Unit 0012-6332 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 a) Printhead mount The printhead is secured to the carriage by the printhead fixer cover and the printhead fixer lever. When the printhead is secured to the carriage, the signal contact of the head relay PCB is pressed against that of the printhead to convey print signals. Further, the ink passage from the ink tanks is connected to the printhead via the ink tubes.
Page 144 Chapter 2 The multi sensor standard has a white plate attached to it, so that a reference value can be calculated during carriage height measurement by measuring the intensity of light reflected upon the white plate. (Service mode: SERVICE MODE>ADJUST>GAP CALIB) h) Rail cleaner The shaft cleaner located in the right rear of the carriage helps keep the main rail clean.

Chapter 2 2.3.2.5 Purge Unit 2.3.2.5.1 Functions of Purge Unit 0017-8318 iPF9000 / iPF9000S / iPF9100 To maintain high print quality, the purge unit performs maintenance of the nozzles o the printhead. The purge unit supports a capping function, cleaning function, and ink supply function. a) Capping function The capping function presses the cap of the purge unit against the face plate on the nozzle section of the printhead to prevent nozzle drying and dust adhesion.

Page 150 Chapter 2 c) Pump The pump (suction pump) is a tube pump that pressurizes the ink tubes with rotating rollers to generate a negative pressure for sucking inks. A single tube is sequentially pressurized by a pair of rotating rollers to control the level of ink suction by a wide margin. The timing at which the rotating rollers rotate is detected by the pump cam sensor, with the distance of rotation being controlled by the driving of the purge motor.
