Section 5 Troubleshooting (Engine and SCSI Controllers)
Section 5
Troubleshooting (Engine and SCSI Controllers)
This section describes how to troubleshoot engine or SCSI controller errors. If a print quality defect occurs, no error appears on the LCD in most cases. If the printer has other troubles, the error lamp lights and an error message appears on the LCD. Print quality defects are judged by nozzle check patterns. If an error message appears, check the cause and location of the trouble according to the error message and take appropriate measure. If no error message is displayed, determine the cause and location and take appropriate measure.
5.1
Print Quality Defects
If a print quality defect occurs, no error message appears on the LCD in most cases. A print quality defect caused by a head cannot be detected by printing a nozzle check pattern. The judgement criteria for print quality defects caused by heads during installation or operation are described below. 1) Check patterns should be in the failure mode range that can be checked with nozzle check patterns. 2) Determine whether it is caused by the electrical system or ink system. 1. All heads are faulty. --- Electrical system 2. One head is faulty. Replace the FFC connected to the head with another head, and output a pattern. - If the symptom appears with the head --- Ink system or head - If the symptom appears with another head --- Electrical system
5-1
3) Isolation when the ink system is defective 1. If ink cannot be filled If ink is not absorbed, the possible causes are as follows: - The cap is stained --- Clean the cap with the cap cleaning liquid. - The capping position is incorrect. --- Correct the capping position. (See Section 7.7.) - Capping adsorption defect --- Replace the cap unit or parts. (pumpASSY, cap ASSY, olyfis, or sensor (AIR) - Bent ink supply tube --- Correct the tube. - The head nozzle is stained --- Charge the wipe cleaning liquid. - Height of the capping unit is incorrect --- Correct height of the capping unit (See 6.3.7). 2. If there is air remaining in the ink tube Even if there is a little air in the ink tube, it does not affect printing. However, if there is much air, an ejection error may occur. - Insufficient cap adsorption --- Replace the cap unit or parts. - Tube air leak --- Tighten joints. - Head air leak --- Replace the head. 4) Measure to be taken if a head is defective If an ejection defect is caused by a head, take the following measure. If the problem is not solved, replace the head. 1. Manual cleaning - Cleaning in user mode When this function is executed, air and dust in the head are removed and meniscus is correctly formed. The problem is mostly solved by manual cleaning. - The procedure is described in 7.9.2. 2. Fill cap - Perform this function in the User mode. This function charges ink into the cap, immerses the head (surface) in ink, leaves the printer for a while to solve the nozzle choking. Use this function when print missing cannot be solved even though performing the cleaning repeatedly . Leave the printer for one or two hours after performing this function. Instruct users to contact our service centers if the printer cannot be recovered after leaving for 214 hours. 3. Ink drain - If the problem is not solved by above steps 1 and 2, there may be air inside the head and it cannot be discharged. In this case, leave the printer as it is for a while (1 or 2 hours) or remove ink and refill refresh ink. (Use a new waste ink bottle when removing ink.) - See 7.9.4 for a detailed procedure. - Leave the printer more than one hour after charging ink.
5-2
4. Cleaning with refresh ink - If the printer is transported or left unused for a long time, the problem may not be solved by draining ink. In this case, clean the ink tube path, head damper filter head filter, and nozzles by , using cleaning maintenance liquid cartridges. (Use a new waste ink bottle for this cleaning.) - See 7.9 for a detailed procedure. 5) If it is caused by head rubbing or paper jam - If paper jams or rubbing occurs frequently, the head nozzle plate may be damaged. In this case, nozzle dots may not miss, but deflection may occur causing a poor , print quality. - The head height must be checked. Use the optimum paper, set paper correctly, and use the correct environment.
- If the problem cannot be fixed, replace the head itself.

6) If nozzle missing increases - Verify the head voltage. See and set the recommend voltage written on the head. 7) Ink adhesion - If ink adhere to the carridge cable and the head cable, wipe it up immediately . - If the carridge cable or the head cable is damaged, replace it.

Skew Correction Procedures 1 Check and correct skew according to the skew checklist. Screw Check Items 1-1 Paper setting 1) Warp Check the preset paper for its warp and the paper roll for its looseness. 2) Flange There shall be no gap between the flange and paper roller end face. 1-2 Mechanism 1) Paper guide F Check paper guide F for its installation position. The installation height of the guide should be horizontally leveled. If any skew is found in field, first check the media setting state as well as the paper guide attachment state. 2) Grid roller attachment (screw loose-fitting in the joint) Lift the pressurizing unit and check the grid roller for its backlash. 3) Pressurizing rollers gripping force grip the strip film to the pressurizing unit and check the gripping force of the film. Follow the measurement steps below: Apply a gripping force measurement jig (film) to pressuring rollers one by one. Go down and keep the pressurizing roller. Measure the gripping force using a push-pull gauge. The gripping force should be measured from roller to roller. A reference value of the gripping force is 650 g. It can vary depending upon the value of matte-based film and the surface state. The measurement value should be a value preset when staring up the film. Measurement Criteria: The difference between the measured maximum and minimum values shall be within 30% of the maximum value. If it exceeds 30%, increase or decrease a load applied to the pressurizing spring and adjust it so as not to exceed 30 %. Punch one position on the end face of the strip film using a puncher and insert a gauge in the punched hole. Size of Strip Film*: approx. W40 mm x L 210 mm (*or commercial OHP films)

4) Check the vacuum fan for its operation. 1-3 Paper feeding status 1) Check external impact during paper feeding. 2) Check aerial impact from airconditioners. 1-4 Miscellaneous 1) Paper check: Check that genuine paper is used and there is no crashes or breakage on the end of paper. 2) Operation environment check Check that operational environment temperature and humidity are within the specifications. 2 When there is no problem as a result of examination instructed in Section 1, namely screws have not been corrected, check the positions of the grid roller supporting block and the platen box. 2-1 Uncover the top cover (right and left plastic covers and Y rail cover). 2-2 Remove the capping unit and the wiping unit. 2-3 Check the positions of the grid roller supporting block and the platen box. 1) Platen box position control point: Apply to X-rail. 2) Grid roller supporting control point: Apply to the paper feeding side of the platen box. 3) Check and correction Uncover the respective covers and visually inspect the inside from both sides. There shall be no gap among the X-rail, the platen box and the grid roller supporting block. If not, loosen the screws fastened to the platen box and the grid roller supporting block. Let push the platen box and the grid roller supporting block to X-rail, and secure them.
3 When any problem was found as a result of examination instructed in Section 2, follow the correction steps below: 1) Remove the guide plate, guide plate R and L. Store them so as not subject the tube and FFC to stress. 2) Remove the bracket to hold the pressurizing unit. 3) Lift the pressurizing bracket. While lifting the bracket, loosen the screws that fasten the grid roller supporting block using a special screwdriver or ratchet. 4) Push the platen box and the grid roller supporting block up to the specified position, and fasten the grid roller supporting block securing screws. 5) Attach the pressurizing holding bracket. 6) Attach the guide plate and guide plates R and L. 7) Attach the capping unit and the wiping unit. 8) When there is no problem after completion of steps i through vii and skew check, attach the top cover.
7-42
When a problem cannot be found as a result of examination instructed in Sections 1 and 2, adjust eccentricity of the grid roller. Correct the optimum value that varies from side to side after paper feeding adjustment patterns are printed. Incorrect adjustment of eccentricity of the jointed grid roller can generate skew. Any eccentricity of the grid roller at the wiping unit side can usually generate screw. Adjust the grid roller towards the wiping unit side. Adjustment steps are as follows: 1) Remove the paper holder at the joint unit, i.e. plastic blade attached to the pressurizing roller. 2) Loosen the two screws that fasten the coupling and turn the grid roller of the wiping unit about 45 degrees. 3) Fasten the two screws, attach the paper holder and check the paper feeding adjustment patterns. 4) Repeat steps 1) through 3) and find the point where the optimum value of paper feeding adjustment patterns are equal from side to side. You should turn the grid roller of the wiping unit one side.
Skew Criteria Print two PATTERN3 (3 m in length and 1-dot checkered patterns) , and judge skew based on the skew size and printhead rubbing. Paper should not be reset until printings are completed. Printhead rubbing occurred during printings (2 sheets of paper) should be rejected as NG: Not Good, even if the skew size shall be not larger than 5 mm on a longitudinal standard basis.

Section 8
Operations
This section describes the mechanical operations of the paper transport system, carriage transport system, ink system, and operations of the electric control system, engine controller firmware, and network controller firmware.
8.1
System Operation Overview

The roll paper set in the printer is fed by grid rollers and passed over the platen in the X direction. The piezo heads that pass over the platen in Y direction eject color inks for printing. The platen sucks paper with a vacuum fan to adjust the correct gap between the paper and the head. The heads installed on the carriage are driven by the carriage motor (DC servo motor) with a steel belt and moved horizontally. The head position is detected with a linear scale, linear encoder, and edge sensor. A maintenance stage (MS) is installed to prevent stains and damage to the head surface due to drying when it is not used for a long time. The MS protects the head surface by its cleaning with a wiper, suction and capping with the capping unit. Cleaning is performed after printing a specified area. Capping is performed automatically by the capping unit after printing. Ink is supplied directly to the head from the ink cartridge through a tube. The printer has three heaters; a front heater for pre-heating of the media in the for media supply side, a print heater for penetrating and fixing ink under the platen unit, and a rear heater for drying in the media outlet side. The paper feed unit and paper delivery unit have a paper feed sensor and a paper delivery sensor to detect paper jams.

1) Paper feed unit The paper feed unit can perform 2-way feeding of roll paper and cut sheets. The paper feed unit can be operated from the front. - Remove roller paper and set cut sheets according to the guide line on the front paper guide. - The Pressure roller up/down lever is used to release the pressure roller grip when roll paper and cut sheets are set. The lever sensor is a photosensor located near the nip release lever on the right side frame to detect lever opening/closing. If the nip is released, paper cannot be transported. Therefore, if nip release is detected, the machine operation stops. If the nip is detected again, paper may be set again, it is used as a signal that performs a paper detection sequence. - Roll paper or cut sheets are specified from the operation panel. The type of media is also specified from the operation panel. - The paper feed sensor is a reflective type photosensor installed on the paper feed controller. It detects paper by reflection over its surface so that the engine controller firmware recognizes the paper condition. 2) Drive unit The drive unit consists of an X motor (paper feed motor), a grip roller, a pressure roller and a lever. The paper feed motor is a DC servo motor for paper feeding, which is controlled by the software servo control unit of the engine controller. When this motor is run, the grip roller turns and transports the paper gripped by the pressure roller. The pressure roller is gripped or released by the lever. 3) Platen and suction fan When paper is transported to the platen, it stucks to the platen by sucking air through the holes in the platen to prevent its lift and contact with the print heads. There are three sction fans. Each of the three fans can be driven independently of each other according to media width. The sucked air is exhausted from the bottom of the machine. 4) Paper guide, paper delivery sensor The paper guide is a guide plate that is curved to prevent bending of the printed paper on the platen. The paper delivery sensor is a reflective type photosensor installed on the paper outlet, which detects paper by reflection over its surface so that the engine controller firmware recognizes the paper condition. 5) Interlock switches The four interlock switches are installed on the rear cover to detect cover opening/closing. When the cover is opened, the interlock switches turn OFF to forcibly turn OFF the +35 V and +24 V power of the power supply unit. The carriage and other drive units are forced to stop.
8-3
6) Winder The printer can print a drawing up to 50 m long. The winder is used to wind such a long drawing and is installed on the bottom of the electrical box of the main unit. The winder must be installed when installing the printer. The winder consists of a winding unit (right and left), a loose sensor and a winding scroller. The winding scroller has a paper core at the time of installation. If another paper core is necessary, use a paper core of an used paper roll. Tape paper on the scroller paper core, and set paper so that it moves over the sensor on the right winding unit. This sensor is called a loose sensor and when paper blocks the sensor light path, the engine controller firmware recognizes that the paper is loose and winds it. If the winder is not used, place, the tension bar on the winder unit. (1) Tension winding The printer supports the tension winding mode winding the media with pulling tention by the winding unit, additionally to the slant winding mode. The following two items must be done to alternate the winding mode. 1. 2. Wwinding mode alternation the operation panel. Changing the tension bar position.
(2) External winding / internal winding The winding direction can be selected regardless of the winding modes. Change the winding direction by using the alternation switch on the winding unit. Only when the slant mode is used, the sensor position must be adjusted according to the winding directions. (3) ON/OFF Set the external winding/internal winding switch lever center to turn the winding unit OFF.

8.3
Carriage Transport System

The carriage transport system consists of units 1 to 7. 1) Carriage motor DC servo motor located under the left cover of the printer. This motor moves the carriage forward and backward and controls its speed from the minimum to the maximum value. The speed is controlled by detecting motor revoluations and position from the linear encoder installed on the Y rail. (The ink ejection timing is controlled by the linear encoder signal. There are three carriage speeds: 1) 678 mm/sec (Printing) 2) 230 mm/sec (For maintenance, except for printing) 3) 20 mm/sec (Paper edge detection) 2) Carriage The carriage is a print unit installed on the Y rail of the printer with a bearing, and is driven by a motor with a steel belt. This unit has a carriage board, six heads, an edge sensor, and a linear encoder. 3) Carriage board The board installed on the carriage has the following features: - Relay data, clock, head drive voltage, etc. coming from the engine control board to the heads. - Relay signals from sensors, such as thermistor output (head temperature), paper edge detection, inside temperature, and linear scale reading, installed on the carriage. - Convert a differential signal coming from the engine control board to the signal format appropriate to the print heads. 4) Edge sensor Located at the side of the carriage. The edge sensor detects paper on the platen, the right and left sides, and leading edge of paper, and controls the entire printing as a reference for paper when the CPUT on the engine control board detects print start position, cut position and skew. The edge sensor sends a signal from the carriage board to the engine control board and it is detected by the CPU. 5) Home position sensor Photosensor located at the home position of the Y rail of the printer. The engine controller cannot recognize the carriage position immediately after the power turns ON, so it is moved to the position (home position) where the home position sensor turns ON to detect the initial position of the carriage. 6) T fence (linear scale), linear encoder Sensor (photointerrupter) installed on top of the carriage. Since the absolute position of the carriage must be recognized at all time for printing, a T fence (linear scale) is installed in the range of the carriage movement. The linear encoder sensor reads the linear scale and generates two-phase clocks with different phases. The engine controller firmware recognizes the absolute position of the carriage all the time by counting pulses from this sensor. The signal detected by the linear encoder is used for servo control of the carriage motor. Ink is ejected from the head nozzle according to the output signal from this sensor. 8-5

1) Heads The heads used for the printer are driven by electrostriction vibrators. A signal voltage pulse is applied to a piezo element to distort it and change the capacity of the ink pressure chamber to eject ink. The printer has six heads for six colors, using a head with 512 nozzles for each color, to implement high-speed printing. - Drive frequency Each nozzle is driven on 10 KHz, and the ABC sequence is driven on 30 KHz. Since the print head changes the capacity of the ink pressure chamber by distorting the piezo elements arranged like comb teeth, the adjacent channels cannot be ejected at the same time. The incoming print data is divided into three groups (A, B, and C) for which ink is ejected in order. Since the basic nozzle layout of the head is 180 dpi, a resolution of 720 dpi is implemented by four passes. - Temperature control Ink changes in viscosity with temperature, so the drive voltage is controlled according to the temperature. - Air damper To prevent damage to the head meniscus by the movement of the ink in the ink tube due to acceleration of the carriage, a damper is installed to reduce variations of pressure. 2) Ink cartridge Ink is contained in a laminate film pack. The capacity of each color ink cartridge is 500 ml. A pack is set in the plastic cartridge (case). The ink pack has a sensor that detects the remaining amount of ink. A memory chip is installed in the end of the pack (near the ink supply section) to store IDs in the manufacture process and store various logs from the printer during use. Memory ID: Ink type ID (color) Manufacture date Unit record log: Ink consumption
8-7
3) Cartridge box The cartridge box has ink cartridge slots: three slots for Bk, Lc, and Lm at the left, and three slots for C, M, and Y at the right side of the printer. The cartridge box has an insertion error prevention mechanism, shutter, ink needle, and an ink relay board. - Insertion error prevention mechanism, shutter Each color ink cartridge has a different insertion error prevention key and the cartridge box face has a slit corresponding to each cartridge. Each cartridge can only be inserted into its slot. When an ink cartridge is installed, the shutter opens automatically. If no cartridge is installed, the inside of the slot is protected. - Ink needle A needle is inserted into the spout of the ink cartridge pack, the ink in the pack joins and is supplied to the tube. - Ink relay board Relay board that reads from and writes into the ink cartridge memory - Ink cartridge cover switch Microswitch located under the right and left ink cartridge covers Switch that detects ink cartridge cover opening and closing. When this switch detects closing of the cover after replacing the ink cartridge, an ink cartridge replacement sequence starts. 4) Ink supply tube The ink in the ink cartridge set in the printer is supplied to the head unit through the ink needle, filter, ink pump, and ink tube. The 20-micron filter that follows the ink needle traps rubber scraps that are produced when the ink cartridge pack is torn. When an ink cartridge is installed, the ink is supplied to each ink pump by an ink charge operation. 5) Capping unit - Configuration The capping unit is located at the right side of the printer. The capping unit is driven by a pump motor and two air open solenoids. When the pump motor runs normally, it turns the cam, lifts the cap and rotates the pump (suction). When the motor runs reversely, the cap is lowered and no pump operation is performed with a one-way clutch. - Functions When the carriage is at its home position, capping and ink suction is performed with the pump motor. When the carriage is at its home position, capping is performed to protect the head surface. A porous sheet is installed in the cap rubber to prevent ink bubbling in the cap during suction and suck ink in the cap during empty suction.
8-8
- Ink pump The ink pump is a rotary tube pump that sucks ink by squeezing the rubber tube by rotation. The ink pump rotates the cam roller with a pump motor and squeezes the rubber tube to suck ink. The pump tube is always squeezed by the cam roller, so ink does not flow back. Three or six colors are sucked at the same time by turning the air open solenoid ON/OFF that will be described later. The waste ink sucked by the pump is discharged into the waste ink bottle. - Air open solenoid The air open solenoid is a DC solenoid, and opens or closes the orifice at the end of the tube connected to the cap rubber with the rubber installed at the end of the solenoid plunger by turning the solenoid ON/OFF. The DC solenoid plunger has a spring, and its force is used to close the orifice to shut out the outside air. Two DC air open solenoids are used to control suction of Bk, Lc, Lm, and C, M, Y. When ink is sucked by an ink suction operation and the pressure is released, the cap rubber is filled with ink. Meniscus is formed in the head nozzles by removing (sucking) the ink. If this operation is not performed, the meniscus is broken when the cap filled with ink is opened. The ink in the cap and the air are sucked by turning the air open solenoids ON and performing a suction (empty suction) operation to form a meniscus. 6) Wiping unit - Configuration The wiping unit is located at the left of the printer (the opposite side of the capping unit). The wiper blade is used by installing an urethane rubber on a caterpillar belt. The wiper unit rotates the belt on which the wiper blade is installed and wipes the head surface with the blade edge. The wiper is rotated by running the wipe motor (DC motor) in the unit. The motor runs in only one direction. - Functions The wiper blade cleans the head surface to prevent ink ejection bending. The pad cleans the wiper blade that cleans the head surface. The wipe motor turns the wipe blade. 7) Waste ink bottle The waste ink bottle is made of HDP (High Density Polyethylene). The waste ink is used to collect the waste ink absorbed by pumps. The maximum capacity of the bottle is approx.3 little.

Print Functions
1) Cleaning sequence The printer has the following cleaning sequence to maintain the optimum printing. Cleaning is performed with the capping unit, wiping unit and ink system control firmware. Flushing is carried out with the head unit and control firmware. - Manual cleaning Manual cleaning is performed by operating the menu from the operation panel. It is used if missing nozzle dots are not solved by automatic cleaning that is performed by the printer. - Automatic cleaning This cleaning is performed automatically during printing. - Cleaning when the printer is not used (fill cap) This cleaning is performed automatically when the printer is not used to guarantee the optimum printing for the next printing. - Paper jam If a paper jam occurs, paper may touch the head nozzles, and dust may stick to them or meniscus may be damaged. It is carried out after clearing the jam. - Interval, time, and ink consumption

2) Head drive voltage control - Head drive voltage rank setting The head drive voltage is set for each color to keep a constant density and stabilize ink ejection. Since the drive voltage differs due to manufacture variations (lot, material characteristics, and processing), the voltage is marked on each head at the production stage. The drive voltage shown on the head is set from the operation panel in the adjustment process in the unit assembly plant. - Temperature control As temperature decreases, the viscosity of ink increases, and as it increases, the viscosity decreases. When viscosity increases, high energy is required to eject ink. On the contrary, when viscosity decreases, energy may be low. The ejection energy is controlled by changing voltage. It is controlled digitally. The temperature of the head PZT element is detected with a thermistor, and a specific drive voltage is set and the head is driven by engine controller firmware control. The parameters for this temperature control is listed, and it is different for each head voltage rank. 3) Bi-directional shift correction in the main scanning direction Print dot position correction function during bi-directional printing of the carriage 4) Head position correction This function corrects the position where the ink drop hits if it is incorrect due to the head installation position or head ink ejection speed variations. 5) Side registration correction This function corrects the print start position in the paper width direction. Variations of each unit for the design value are corrected by software. 6) Edge registration correction This function corrects the print start position in the paper feeding direction. Variations of each unit for the design value are corrected by software. 7) Vertical magnification correction This function corrects variations in paper feed amount. Variations of each unit for the design value are corrected by software. 8) Dot position adjustment in the sub-scanning direction The dot drop position of each head is adjusted by adjusting the paper feeding direction of each head is adjusted mechanically (with screws). 9) Head inclination adjustment The inclination of each head is adjusted mechanically by turning it (with eccentric pins) to adjust the position where the ink drop hits. 10) Head L, R adjustment The jet timing of right and left heads are adjusted.
8-11
11) Paper smoothness action If paper is left in the printer for a long time, the leading edge may be wrinkled and cause a paper jam. The paper is discharged when printing starts after the setting time to eliminate such a deformed part of paper. Operations When the printer receives no print data and waits a print at exceeding of setting time, the printer feeds the edge of the paper roll automatically upto the front of the rear cover. (This action is ommitted when the edge of the paper roll exists in the front of the rear cover.) After receiving print data, the printer performs paper smoothness action (repetitious feed and rewind) and then cuts the edge of the paper roll automatically. (When using the winder unit, the printer feeds the paper upto the edge of the paper roll and prints after performing the paper smoothness action.) At powering off the printer, the printer feeds the edge of the paper roll upto the front of the rear cover and then shutdowns automatically. (When using the winder unit, the printer shutdown with no action.) When using the sheet paper, the printer feeds out the paper after setting time. Parameter = NONE Automatic edge cut function does not work in all types of paper. Parameter = 30 min Automatic paper smoothness action works after 30 minutes for all types of paper. Before 30 minites, the printer performs paper smoothness action before print. (Do not set 30 min for the sheet paper.) Parameter= 1 hour Automatic paper smoothness action works after 1 hour for all types of paper. Parameter = 2 hour Automatic paper smoothness action works after 2 hours for all types of paper. Parameter= 4 hour Automatic paper smoothness action works after 4 hours for all types of paper.

Engine Unit Operation
- Head board (Head assembly) The head board has piezo elements with 512 nozzles and eight driver ICs, and has six heads for six colors. The head assembly is connected with the carriage board that relays a head signal with a 30pole FFC cable. The drive voltage for the head piezo element is 16 V (set by the F/W according to the temperature feedback). The logic voltage is 5 V. - Connector conversion board (PCB-ASSY-CNB1H) The connector conversion board is used to change the head board connector to the connector for the TFC cable. - Carriage board (PCB-ASSY-IPB1) The carriage board is installed on the carriage and relays data to six head assemblies. In addition to relaying data to the heads, it has the head temperature detection voltage and carriage internal ambient temperature detection voltage buffer and selection (amplifier circuit/analog multiplex) circuit. It contains the edge sensor for paper width and leading edge position detection (lightemitting diode current can be changed in four steps by the firmware), linear encoder (two phases, 180 dpi), and paper cutter up/down solenoid driver. It also has a driver/receiver IC as the data transfer circuit between the carriage and engine controller. - Engine controller board (PCB-ASSY-IPB1) The engine controller board is a core circuit block of the print engine and provides the following functions. (1) CPU (single-chip 32-bit CPU (SH-2)), peripheral I/O, A/D converter (internal) (2) Memory (SRAM memory (program), flash memory (boot program, system program, test pattern, engine parameter backup, basic alphanumeric fonts (bitmap fonts) storage), SDRAM (band memory storage), IC memory card (program load), NVRAM (parameter store)) (3) I/O (counter/timer, POI, RTC) (4) Host interface (SCSI I/F) (5) X, Y motor control (DC servo control), other motor control (ON/OFF control) (6) Various sensors/actuator/mechanical switch port control (solenoid, interlock switch, photosensors, etc.) (7) Head drive voltage variable control (15 to 32 V): VDD2 board that is different from the IPB1. (8) Data pass conversion (band memory control, data conversion, dot interpolation, margin generation, print mode, forward/backward print) (9) Operation panel control (Dedicated circuit: The dedicated circuit for communication with the panel is incorporated in the PTG (BRP).) (10) Others (Detection of the paper end) - Service station Capping unit: Cap the heads and suck. Wiping unit: Wipe head nozzle surface.

- Ink cartridge The printer supplies ink directly to the heads through tubes. Therefore, ink only exists in the head internal flow paths and ink tubes, as well as ink cartridges. The printer detects the remaining amount of ink in an ink cartridge by counting (calculating) the number of ink ejections. If it exceeds a specific value, a near-end warning is given. An ink cartridge contains an involatile memory (serial EEPROM) to store and update the remaining quantity of ink in each color ink cartridge. This memory contains ink IDs and manufacture dates, etc. to maintain ink quality. The remaining amount of ink is also detected from the change in the tube shape in the cartridge. If the sensor located on the bottom of the ink cartridge detects ink-out, the end of ink is reached. The communication with the involative memory is performed by F/W timing control through the PIO port on the engine controller board. - Mechanical control block This block has a main function of controlling the carriage motor and paper motor DC servo. In addition, it controls and operates the actuators (pump motors, wiper motors, solenoids, cutter motor, vacuum fans, etc.) of the service station and ink supply system.

- Data pass system This block receives data from a host or network controller in the engine controller, buffers and processes it into head transfer data, and sends it to the heads. All its functions are implemented by hardware. - Band memory The band memory is a memory that is physically separated from the main memory (CPU system memory + work RAM), and is a band image memory area that temporarily stores image from an upstream device. Images can be written directly into the memory from the CPU, and test patterns are generated in this way. Images are written directly into the band memory without passing through the CPU from an upstream SCSI I/F or network controller. Image data transfer from the host computer to the print engine supports three methods: line order, band surface order, and cell order. When a scan starts, data required for a scan is maintained, so it is called a band. Although it is a band memory, image data arrangement in it is different according to print modes (high speed, standard, super high quality). [Band memory specifications] (1) Memory capacity 256 MB for six colors (2) Memory 256-Mbit synchronous DRAM (3) Power supply voltage +3.3 V - ATG (Band Memory Address Generator) block This block corresponds to a gate array. It reads from and writes into the band memory (SDRAM) at high speed. It writes in the scanning direction and reads in the direction of nozzles (the scanning direction is perpendicular to the nozzle direction for this printer). Therefore, orthogonal conversion is performed. [ATG function] (1) Block memory access (2) Memory address generation (3) Synchronous DRAM timing generation (4) Mirror processing (bit swap: forward path ->, backward path <-) - RSM block This block performs various processes, such as addition of right and left print margins in each print mode and mirror processing (bit swap) for bi-directional printing, and finally transfers processed data to the PTG block. [RSM function] (1) Orthogonal conversion (horizontal/vertical conversion) (2) Dummy data addition in X direction (main scanning direction) (3) Dummy data addition in Y direction (sub scanning direction) (4) PTG transfer (PTG interface) (5) Mask processing. Mask scan line or column data according to print mode (720 x 720 dpi, 8 passes, bi-directional printing)

- Head data transmission FIFO This FIFO is built into the BRP and located between the RSM and PTG. It functions as an intermediate buffer to transfer binary head data converted to head nozzle arrangement from the RSM to each of the six heads. - PTG (Pixel Timing Generator) block This block serially transfers the head data converted by the preceding ATG block (data converted to nozzle arrangement) to driver ICs in six head assembly (eight driver ICs for each head), and adjusts timings for kicking ink ejection at a desired timing in synchronization with the ejection timing from the linear scale. [PTG specifications] (1) 720 dpi ejection rate (fire rate) generation (2) Fire timing adjustment A positional shift in the scan direction is set as a parameter for each of six heads, and fire timing is fine-adjusted. Specifically, each fire interval is divided into approx. 16 minutes and a desired time constant is added to fire timing. (3) Uni-directional/bi-directional printing Bi-directional printing is basically performed. Thus, the change in head control according to the printing direction is set as a parameter, and fire timing is fine-adjusted. (4) Three-phase timing Control fire timing by three groups A, B, and C, which is unique to the heads. - Image interface A normal voltage level differential driver receiver is used as a driver receiver for the image interface for the CRG. - Head drive voltage control (VDD2) This circuit is a variable regulator circuit that varies the head driver IC drive voltage. The variable voltage can be varied dynamically in the range +12 V to +32 V according to an algorithm (table) by feeding back the head (PZT) surface temperature. The +36 V variable voltage supply line must be controlled for each head, a total of six channel circuits are implemented. VDD2 out channel ch2 ch5 ch1 ch4 ch3 ch6 Head voltage for ICB board --> ON voltage for head 1 and head 2. --> OFF voltage for head 1 and head 2. --> ON voltage for head 3 and head 4. --> OFF voltage for head 3 and head 4. --> ON voltage for head 5 and head 6. --> OFF voltage for head 5 and head 6.
<Example> The VDD2 board generates higher voltage of head 1 ON voltage or head 2 ON voltage + a from ch2, and ther ICB1 board regulates head 1 ON voltage and head 2 voltage. The head drive voltage is controlled by feeding back the head temperature during print because the suitable head drive voltage changes successively according to the head temperature. 8-23
- Operation panel The operation panel is used to input various parameters of the printer and display information. It has a LCD module and input keys. The operation panel is controlled directly by the CPU on the engine controller (via PTG). Therefore, print adjustment patterns are output and various maintenance functions can be executed from the operation panel. [Operation panel requested specifications] (1) LCD 16 characters, 2 lines Alphanumeric (with backlight) (2) Key tops , online, enter, cancel, shift (3) LEDs ONLINE, DATA, ERROR, INK, ROLL (One for INK/ROLL each) (5) Power supply voltage 5V (6) Interface TTL, serial communication (7) Buzzer Automatic
