    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.

    Chapter 1 4. Refilling the ink After removing the ink in the printer according to the automatic or manual ink draining procedure to disassemble, reassemble, or transport/ship the printer, refill the ink as soon as possible upon completion of those tasks. If the ink remaining in the printer after the removal has dried up, the ink deposits on the surfaces of the components may cause damage or abnormal operation.

    Chapter 2 T-2-7 Cleaning mode Name Cleaning operation Cleaning 1 Normal cleaning Removes fixed inks caused by dried nozzles and viscous ink matters adhering to their faces, paperdust and so on. Cleaning 2 Cleaning on ink level adjustment Performs normal cleaning after suction for ink level adjustment in the head. Cleaning 3 Cleaning on initial filling Performs normal cleaning after filling empty tubes with inks (at initial installation).
  • Page 55 Chapter 2 The caps are activated to protect the nozzle assembly on capping. When the carriage moves to the home position , the caps are elevated by the cap can that is driven by the capping motor, capping the nozzle assembly to protect it. These caps cap the nozzle assembly to suck inks from the printhead by means of the suction pump.

    Chapter 2 Multi sensor The photoreflector-based multi sensor consists of four LEDs (red, blue, green, infrared) and two light-receiving sensors to detect the leading edges and width of paper and skews in it, and to adjust its registration, head height and calibration. At head height adjustment, the two light-receiving sensors detect infrared light reflected upon the paper to work out the head height from differences in its meas- urement.
