Page 55: Other Precautions
Chapter 1 1.7.2 Other Precautions 1.7.2.1 Printhead 0013-1936 a. Handling the printhead Do not unpack the printhead until it is ready for immediate use. When mounting the printhead on the printer, remove protective caps 1 and 2 in this order by holding them by the lugs.
Page 56: Ink Tank
Chapter 1 b. Capping action The printer performs a capping action at the end of printing or when it stands by in the wake of an error occurrence, to protect the printhead and prevent ink leaks. If the printer has been powered off by inadvertently disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, reconnect the power cord to the wall out and turn on the power key.
Page 57: Handling The Printer
Chapter 1 To prevent foreign matter from infiltrating the ink passage to impair ink suction or print quality, never touch contact [3] or ink port [4] of ink tank [1]. Depressing ink tank cover [2] of the printer would cause a needle to pierce the ink port, linking the ink passage of linking ink tank [1] to the printer.
Page 58 Chapter 1 b. Securing the carriage in position The carriage is mechanically locked by the lock arm in the purge unit at the same time as the printhead caps itself at the end of printing. Before shipping the printer, secure the carriage at the home position with a belt stopper so the carriage won't be damaged when it is released from the lock arm or inks won't leak during transit.
Page 59: Precautions When Servicing Printer
Chapter 1 d. Handling maintenance cartridges Be careful in unloading a maintenance cartridge from the printer not to keep the used ink from spilling over. e. Refilling the printer with inks If the printer has been purged of inks through an automatic or manual ink drain for disassembly/reassembly or for reshipping, refill the printer with inks as soon as possible after the completion of the work.
Page 60: Precautions For Disassembly/Reassembly
Chapter 1 Before disassembling the printer for servicing, discharge any static buildup by touching a grounded metal fitting or the like. 1.7.3.4 Precautions for Disassembly/Reassembly 0013-5150 The precautions for disassembly/reassembly are described in "Disassembly/Reassembly". 1.7.3.5 Self-diagnostic Feature 0013-5151 The printer has a self-diagnostic feature to analyze hardware problems.

Chapter 2 c) The main controller decompresses the print data transmitted to the ASIC and gets it through resolution, color and 5-color binarization conversion while loading the data into DDR-SDRAM from time to time. It also converts the print data to 5-color binary equivalents of image and command data. d) The ASIC (IC1) generates image data synthesized with mask data within the ASIC in sync with the discharge time while loading the data into DDR-SDRAM from time to time.
Page 67 Chapter 2 Block No. 2559 The pattern is repeated until 2560 nozzles is reached. F-2-3...
Page 68 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. Printing is carried out in two ways through reciprocating motion of the carriage.

Page 79: Printer Mechanical System
Chapter 2 2.3 Printer Mechanical System 2.3.1 Outline 2.3.1.1 Outline 0012-6256 The printer mechanism is broken down into two broad sections: the passage and paper passage. Consisting mainly of a carriage unit that houses ink tanks and a printhead, and a maintenance cartridge, the ink passage supplies, circulates, sucks and otherwise handles inks.
Page 80: Ink Passage
Chapter 2 2.3.2 Ink Passage 2.3.2.1 Ink Passage 2.3.2.1.1 Overview of Ink Passage 0013-6730 The ink passage comprises ink tanks, a printhead, caps, a waste ink collector, ink tubes interconnecting the mechanical components, and a suction pump that is driven to suck inks. It supplies, circulates, sucks and otherwise handles inks.
Page 81 Chapter 2 a) Supplying inks from the ink tanks to the ink supply valve assembly The ink tanks each contain an ink to feed the printhead. Head differences allow the inks to flow from the ink tanks to the ink supply valves. b) Inks flowing from the ink tanks into the subbuffer As the inks flow from the ink tanks to the subbuffers due to head differences, air infiltrates the ink tanks through air passages in the subbuffers to keep its internal pressure constant.
