Page 109: Safety And Precautions
1.7.1.1 Moving Parts 0013-3746 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S Moving parts of the printer include the carriage unit driven by the carriage motor, the carriage belt, the ink tube, the flexible cable, the feed roller drives the feed motor, the pinch roller, and the purge unit driven by the purge motor.
Page 110 Chapter 1 - Although the ink is not harmful to the human body, it contains organic solvents. Ink may contaminate the surrounding parts. Carry out the work with due caution. If your hands are stained with ink, wash them with a plenty of water. Be careful not to allow the ink to get into your mouth or eyes.
Page 111: Electric Parts
1.7.1.3 Electric Parts 0016-8168 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S The electric parts of the printer are activated when the printer is connected to the AC power supply. At the left rear of the printer are the main controller, power supply, and interface connector. The carriage PCB is incorporated in the carriage unit, and the operation panel is on the upper right top cover.

Capping The printer will perform the capping operation when printing has ended or during standby due to an error, in order to protect the printhead and avoid ink leakage. If the power cord is accidentally unplugged, turn off the Power button, reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the Power button.
Page 113: Ink Tank
If you cannot remove ink completely, replace the electrical units with new ones. If electrical units are powered with ink leaked onto them, the units may damage. Never connect the power cord when ink has leaded onto the electrical units. 1.7.2.3 Ink Tank 0013-1924 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S 1-97...

Precautions against Static Electricity Certain clothing may generate static electricity, causing an electrical charge to build up on your body. Such a charge can damage electrical devices or change their electrical characteristics.
Page 115 Chapter 1 2. 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 116 Chapter 1 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. When touching a linear scale and the carriage shaft, it might cause defective movement of the carriage and a defective print. F-1-47 [1] Linear Scale [2] Carriage Shaft...

The ink passage consists of an ink tank, a carriage unit having a printhead, a purge unit. and a maintenance cartridge unit which are used to supply, circulate, and suck ink.
Page 145: Ink Passage
2.3.2.1.1 Overview of Ink Passage 0013-4299 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S The ink passage consists of ink tanks, printhead, cap, waste ink collection unit, ink tubes for connecting the mechanical components, and an ink suction pump which is operated to suck ink. These components are used to supply, circulate, and suck ink.

Page 147: Ink Tank Unit
2.3.2.2.1 Structure of Ink Tank Unit 0013-4300 iPF6100 / iPF6200 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 148 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.

Chapter 2 2.3.2.3.2 Structure of Carriage Unit 0016-8195 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S a) Printhead mounting unit The printhead is secured to the carriage by the printhead fixer lever. When the printhead is secured to the carriage, the signal contact of the carriage PCB touches the signal contact point of the printhead, allowing print signals to be transmitted.

2.3.2.4 Printhead 2.3.2.4.1 Structure of Printhead 0013-4821 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S A printhead incorporates six nozzle arrays. Each nozzle can be controlled individually so that a six-color discharge action can be performed by a single printhead. a) Nozzle arrays A total of 2560 nozzles are arranged in a two-column staggered pattern.

The portion that touches the face plate is made from rubber. Two left caps are ar- ranged for the printhead (six arrays of nozzles) installed in the carriage.
Page 158 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.

2.3.2.7.1 Air flow 0016-8199 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S This printer has two fans, a mist fan used to collect mist and a suction fan used to suck media onto the platen. Ink mist that floats inside the printer and ink splashes from the media are collected in the filter through the front duct and the air flow path inside the printer by the driving of the mist fan, thus preventing mist from discharged outside the printer.
Page 161: Paper Path
2.3.3.1.1 Overview of Paper Path 0016-8200 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S The paper path consist of roll feed unit, feed roller unit, pinch roller drive unit that applies/releases pressure to/from the pinch roller, spur drive unit that moves the spur up/down, and various sensors that detect the media feed status, allowing media to be fed in three ways, fed, and ejected.

2.3.3.2.2 Roll Media Pick-up Sequence 0013-4173 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S When the roll media detects the loaded roll media, roll media pick-up operation starts. When media is fed from the auto roll feed unit by the specified length, the nulti sensor performs the adjustments and detection shown below, thus completing the roll media pick-up operation.

2.3.3.2.3 Structure of Manual Feed Unit 0016-8204 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S a) Manual feed (from front) The cut sheet fed from the front (ejection unit) of the printer is fed to the rear of the printer [1], and then fed onto to platen [2] for printing.
Page 166 Chapter 2 The pick-up timing of the paper fed to the rear of the printer is controlled by the paper detection sensor. Paper detection sensor F-2-35 b) Manual feed (from rear) The paper loaded in the paper tray provided at the rear of the printer is fed onto the platen for printing. This method of feeding paper can be used only when an acceptable media type is selected from the Manual Feed menu in the user mode.
Page 167: Manual Feed (From Front) Sequence
2.3.3.2.4 Manual Feed (from Front) Sequence 0013-4174 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S This sequence can be performed according to the messages shown on the operation panel only when a specific type of media is selected after selecting the manual feed mode from the menu shown on the operation panel. When a cut sheet is loaded according to the message shown on the operation panel, the printer performs various adjustments and detection using the multi sensor and then feeds the cut sheet to the rear of the printer.
Page 168 Chapter 2 Cut sheet loading (manual) Detection of cut sheet *1 Light intensity/ Head hight adjustment Detection of paper width Detection of skewed movement of paper End of cut sheet pick-up operation Printing The auto roll feed unit starts feeding the cut sheet when the roll media detection sensor detects the media. When the auto roll feed unit is not mounted, the printer starts feeding the media when the paper detection sensor detects the media.
Page 169: Structure Of Feed Roller Unit
2.3.3.2.6 Structure of Feed Roller Unit 0016-8218 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S The feed roller unit consists of media feeding mechanisms such as feed rollers driven by the feed motor and the pinch roller unit operating in conjunction with the feed rollers.

Chapter 2 2.3.3.2.8 Structure of Ejection Spur 0016-8220 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S a) Outline The ejection spur unit consists of a spur, a spur motor that moves the spur, a spur cam sensor, and an eject roller. b) Spur lift mechanism The spur must be moved up and down according to the selected media type and feed mode.
Page 172: Cutter Unit
2.3.3.3.1 Structure of Cutter unit 0016-8205 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S If roll media are used, the cutter unit attached on the front of the spur unit cuts the leading end of the media on loading and cuts the media on ejection. Whether to perform cutting or not is determined by the choice of the main menu and the specifications of the printer driver.
