Countermeasure Against Items Included With Printer Left In Printer Packing Box; Initial Setup; Phenomenon "Ink Flows Into The Buffer Room - Canon G1000 Series Service Manual

(12) Countermeasure against Items Included with Printer Left in Printer Packing Box

In order to prevent the items included with the printer such as cartridge, ink bottle, power cord, etc. left in the
printer packing box from being thrown away, the illustration is added to the inner flap covering the shock
absorbant material inside the printer packing box. This countermeasure has been implemented from May,
2016.
- The regions starting the sales from 2016 2H (AMR, EUR, AU):
Incorporated from the start of production.
- The regions having started the sales before 2016 2H (CN/ASA/LAM/TW/IN/CBR/EUM/EMB/HK/ID/KR):
Already implemented from May, 2016.

(13) Initial Setup

There are the following problems at the initial setup:
(1) Pressing and holding the Stop button is hard. (The Power lamp blinks twice)
(2) During ink filling on the printer, the message "The printer is performing another operation." is displayed.
The following two factors are assumed:
- It takes long time to perform ink filling, therefore, the test for confirming the communication is performed
before ink filling is completed (before the initial setup flag is turned off).
- The test for confirming the communication is performed before the operation of initial purging (pressing
and holding the Stop button) is executed.
<Countermeasures>
(1) GS1 (Getting Started 1) is revised as follows.
- The description of the printer operation status is in parallel with the one of the user's operations.
- The sentence alerting users that the operation of ink filling is required is added.
- The location of the description of the waiting time to ink filling (six minutes) is changed.
(2) Master Setup is revised as follows.
- The message window is added to remind users to perform initial purging (ink filling) after the printer
status during the setup of driver installation is detected.
- The Help button in the above-mentioned window directs users to the description of ink filling operation.

(14) Phenomenon "Ink flows into the buffer room"

The G1000 series, G2000 series, and G3000 series are equipped with the buffer room in order to adapt the
change of temperature and humidity (to prevent ink leakage due to the expanded air in the ink tank).
In the cases below, ink flows into the buffer room, therefore, the amount of the ink that is visible to users
seems to be reduced. However, the ink flowed into the buffer room is supplied to the print head through the
tube to be usually used.
1. When meniscus between the ink room and the buffer room is broken due to the impact on the printer
2. When rapid temperature change or pressure change occurs
3. When the cartridge is removed without opening the ink tank cover
4. When the joint lever is unseated as it is pushed again without opening the ink tank cover.
5. When the ink tank cover is closed without closing the caps of the main tank completely
