Fixing the Carriage After completion of printing, the carriage is mechanically locked by the lock arm in the purge unit at the same moment the printhead is capped. Before transporting the printer, secure the carriage at its home position using belt stoppers[1] so that the carriage does not become separated from the lock arm and damage or ink does not leak.
Page 78 Chapter 1 3. Vent holes This printer has four vent holes, [1] to [4]. Do not block the vent holes when the printer is in service F-1-57 4. Contact of Linear Scale/Carriage Shaft Please do not touch a linear scale and the carriage shaft when the inside of the top cover is opened, and execute maintenance.

Chapter 2 2.3.2.2 Ink Tank Unit 2.3.2.2.1 Structure of Ink Tank Unit 0013-4300 iPF5000 / iPF5100 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.
Page 105 Chapter 2 f) Ink supply valve The ink supply valve is located between the ink tank and ink tube to prevent ink leakage from occurring when the ink tube on the ink tank side is opened during replacement of the ink tank. The ink supply valve is opened and closed by the valve open/close mechanism which is driven by the valve motor.
Page 106: Carriage Unit
Chapter 2 2.3.2.3 Carriage Unit 2.3.2.3.1 Functions of Carriage Unit 0013-4306 iPF5000 a) Printhead mounting function The carriage mechanically locks the printhead and is connected to the printhead via the terminals on the carriage PCB. b) Control function The carriage incorporates a carriage PCB that relays the signal from the main controller, a linear encoder that generates a print timing signal based on the detected carriage position, and a multi sensor that detects the media width and skewing to adjust the registration and height.
Page 107 Chapter 2 f) Media thickness adjustment function If the gap between the printhead face and the media increases due to the difference in media thickness, cockling, curling, and so on, more ink mist is generated. In reverse, if the gap decreases, the head can touch the media surface more frequently. To maintain the proper gap, the remote lifter is driven to adjust the head height automatically according to the selected media type, media supply method, printing conditions (borderless/priority print type), environmental conditions (temperature/humidity), and the result of measurement by the multi sensor.

Page 117 Chapter 2 b) Wiper unit The wiper unit operated by the purge motor wipes the print head face. The printer is provided with a pair of wiper blades for better wiping performance. The wiping operation is performed by a "slide wipe" method by which the purge motor rotates (in the normal direction) to slide the wiper blade via the wiper cam. It is performed by a constant-speed movement toward the front of the printer as viewed from the printer front.
