After Air Purging - Ricoh D124 Detailed Descriptions Manual

5.4.5 AFTER AIR PURGING

After every air purging:
1. The carriage moves to the main ink level sensors [1] and [2]..
2. The carriage stops when the lower actuator [3] on the OCFS sensor feeler enters
the main ink level sensor.
 Main ink level sensor 2 [1] detects the actuators of K2, C, Y, and M.
 Main ink level sensor 1 [2] detects the actuator of K1 only.
 Two main ink level sensors are required because the K1 print head is not level
with the other 4 print heads.
3. The machine records how far the carriage has moved along the horizontal
encoder, and stores this as the new "Tank Full Position".
4. At the end of a job, the machine moves the carriage to the main ink level sensor to
compare with the most recent Tank Full Position.
 This sequence is also done at cleaning and flushing.
 The carriage does not move to this sensor during printing. (Ink level during
printing is checked with the OCFS sensors.)
