Description
The strobe pulse. Read-in of data is
performed at the falling edge of this
pulse.
The data 0 to data 7 signals represent
data bits 0 to 7, respectively. Each signal
is at HIGH level when data is logical 1
and LOW level when data is logical 0.
This signal is a negative pulse indicating
that the printer can again accept data.
When this signal is at HIGH level, the
printer is not ready to accept data.
When this sign is at HIGH level, the paper
empty status is detected.
Always at HIGH level when the printer is
powered on.
Not used.
The falling edge of a negative pulse or a
low signal on this line causes the printer
to initialize. Minimum 50 us pulse is
necessary.
When the printer detects an error, this
signal goes LOW.
Not used.
Pulled up to +5V via 3.9 K ohm resistor.

1.3.4 Preventing Data Transfer Time-out from Hosts

Generally, hosts abandon data transfer to peripherals when a peripheral is BUSY continuously for dozens of
seconds. To prevent this kind of time-out, the printer receives data very slowly, several bytes per minute,
even if the printer is in a busy state. This slowdown starts when the remainder of the input buffer drops under
several hundred bytes. Finally, the printer is BUSY continuously when the input buffer is full.
1.3.5 Interface Selection

The EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 has three types of interfaces available: parallel, serial, and optional
interfaces. Each interface can be selected manually or automatically. Both modes are selected thorough the
default setting mode.
Manual selection
One of 3 interfaces selected through the default setting mode. The selected interface is fixed.
Automatic selection
When the printer is in this mode, the printer is initialized to the idle state when it is turned on. Then the
interface that receives data first is selected. When the host stops data transfer and the printer is in the
stand-by state for the specific time, the printer returns to the idle state. As long as the host sends data or
the printer interface is in busy state, the selected interface remains active.
Interface State and Interface Selection
When the parallel interface is not selected, the interface goes into the busy state.
When the serial interface is not selected, the interface sets the DTR signal MARK.
When the printer is initialized or returned to the idle state, the parallel interface goes into the ready
state and the serial interface sets the DTR signal SPACE.
Note) An interrupt signal such as the /INIT signal on the parallel interface is ignored while that
interface is not selected.

CAUTION
;
;
1-24
The power switch is connected to the secondary side of the electrical circuit. Since it has a delay
circuit, voltage is still applied for the specified period of time after the printer power is off.
As long as the printer is plugged in, voltage is applied to the primary side of the electrical circuit.
Therefore, be sure to unplug the printer before servicing or replacing the interface.

1.4.3 LED Indicators

Several printer conditions are indicated by the LEDs on the control panel. When any of the errors listed
below occurs, the printer indicates an error condition, the /ERROR signal is LOW, and BUSY is HIGH,
stopping data transfer. This automatically puts the printer into a paused state.
The carriage moves abnormally (fatal error).
Paper is out or there is paper jam.
The PG for the paper currently loaded is inaccurate.
No ink cartridge or ink is out.
Maintenance is required.

2.1 Overview
This chapter describes the operating principles of the printer mechanism and electrical circuit.
2.2 Printer Mechanism Operating Principles

2.2.1.1 M-4I60 Printer Mechanism
This printer is composed mainly of the printhead unit, paper feeding mechanism, CR mechanism and the
pump mechanism. The block chart for the printer mechanism is shown in Figure 2-1. The printer mechanism
of this printer has 2 motors: CR and PF. The torque from the CR motor moves the CR in the column
direction. The torque from the PF motor is transmitted to both the paper feeding mechanism and the pump
mechanism. The direction is determined by the CR position. The release lever transmits torque from the PF
motor to the tractor side to feed continuous paper.

2.2.2 Printing Mechanism

The printer uses an on-demand ink jet system to print, as used by other EPSON ink jet printers. This printer,
however, has a new printhead, which is designed to produce high quality output at a higher speed. The
printing mechanism has 2 parts: ink cartridge and printhead.
2.2.2.1 Printhead Structure

This printer has a black printhead and color printhead. The structures of the printheads are basically the
same except for the nozzle configuration. The black printhead has 128 nozzles (32 nozzles for each of 4
rows) The color printhead, with 3 heads for Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow, has 64 nozzles (32 nozzles for each
of 2 rows) for each color.

Figure 2-2. Printhead Structure

2.2.2.2 Printing Process

The stages below describe how with the on-demand ink jet system ejects ink from each nozzle.
Step 1 Normal state
When no print signal is output, the PZT does not move and the pressure in the cavity is kept at a constant
level.
Step 2 Ejecting state
A print signal is output by the head driver board to a specific nozzle to drive the PZT. The voltage is
produced in the common driver circuit board on the control board. When voltage is applied to the PZT, the
PZT moves and the pressure in the cavity changes. This operation causes the ink in the cavity to spurt out
from the nozzle.
Normal State
Cavity
Ejecting State
Piezo
Nozzle
Ejected Ink
Figure 2-3. Printing Operation States
During ink charging or cleaning, negative pressure in the cavity absorbs the ink from the cartridge to refill the
cavity. The unused ink adheres to the nozzle surface and increases viscosity in the nozzles, causing low
printing quality. To prevent this problem, the ink is periodically absorbed and sent into the waste ink drain
pads by the pump mechanism. Ink viscosity tends to change with the temperature around the printhead. To
prevent this, a thermistor is attached to the driver circuit board. This is used to determine the proper drive
pulse automatically based on the detected temperature.
2.2.2.3 Printing Methods

This printer has special printing modes for various types of graphic images.
Y Double-Firing Normal Dot / One Dot Print Modes
In ANK or bitmap image mode the printer forms 1 dot with double ink ejections. In raster graphics mode,
which requires high-resolution, it forms 1 dot with a single ink ejection.
Y EPSON Micro Dot Printing
Both black and color printouts can be made in normal dot print mode and EPSON micro dot print mode.
In the normal dot print mode, the printer uses less ink to create sharper dots. This expands the gradation
range for a more delicate tone. This mode is available when 1440 720-dpi-paper or glossy film is
selected.
Y Microweave Printing
In this mode, nozzles to be activated are divided and only specific nozzles are used for each pass. The
paper is fed in smaller increments for this operation. This mode eliminates white banding that can occur
between lines, resulting in improved graphic images. This mode does have a decreased feed speed.
Microweave printing can be selected through the printer driver.

2.2.3 Carriage (CR) Mechanism

The CR mechanism is composed of the CR unit, CR motor, timing belt, CR guide shaft, paper eject frame,
and HP sensor (Home Position sensor). Torque from the CR motor is transmitted via the timing belt to the
CR unit right and left along the paper eject frame and CR guide shaft, depending on the way the CR motor
rotates. The CR is detected at the home position by the HP sensor when the printer is turned on. Its position
is controlled by an open loop. Table 2-2 and 2-3 show the specifications for the CR motor and its drive
frequencies.

2.2.4 Paper Feed Mechanism

The paper feed mechanism of this printer consists of the integrated ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder), tractor, PF
(Paper Feed) motor, front/rear PE (Paper End) sensors, PF roller, paper guide mechanism, paper eject unit,
and PF motor drive disengage mechanism. Torque from the PF motor is transmitted to load, feed and eject
paper. While the printer is not printing, the disengage mechanism switches torque from the PF motor to the
pump mechanism. While paper is being fed, the PF motor transmits torque via the PF motor pinion gear and
disengage gear to the PF roller, where torque goes 2 directions. One is to the paper eject mechanism via the
gear train in the paper guide assembly. The other is to the ASF mechanism via the transmission gear.
The tractor drive gear train is set at the left end of the PF roller. Table 2-4 and Table 2-5 show the
specifications for the PF motor and drive terms. Figure 2-5 illustrates the paper feed mechanism.

2.2.4.1 ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder) Mechanism

The PF roller creates torque that is transmitted to the pick up roller in the ASF mechanism via the planetary
gear. The PF motor drive disengage mechanism switches the torque based on the detected position of the
CR unit. The pick up roller shaft has 2 arms on the right and left, which push down the paper support so the
paper surface contacts the pick up roller. The one way clutch rotates the pick up roller to load paper. The
paper feed mechanism feeds the loaded paper and disengages the gear transmission from the planetary
gear.

2.2.4.2 Tractor Mechanism

When the release lever is moved, the PF motor sends torque to the gears at the left end of the PF roller that
is transmitted to the tractor gears via the disengage mechanism. When the release lever is set to the tractor
side, the release sensor detects the position and torque from the ASF mechanism is disengaged.

2.2.4.3 Manual Feed Mechanism

The printer loads cut sheets and roll paper through the rear paper slot. While paper is detected by the rear
PE sensor, the CR unit is out of the ASF paper feeding position. Therefore, paper must be loaded manually,
even if there is paper in the ASF.
2.2.5 Platen Gap (PG) Adjust Mechanism

The PG adjust mechanism, at the top right of the printer mechanism, allows the user to set the proper platen
gap (distance between paper and nozzle surface) for the paper thickness to prevent ink from smudging. The
PG adjust mechanism consists of the PG adjust lever, CR guide shaft, and parallelism adjustment bushing.
The parallelism adjustment bushing joins the CR guide shaft, with an eccentricity toward the guide shaft.
Shifting the lever from 0 to 1 rotates the CR guide shaft away from or toward the platen, changing the
platen gap from wide to narrow or vice versa.

The PF motor also functions as the pump motor when the PF motor drive disengage mechanism
switches its operation. When the CR unit returns to the home position, its switch lever pushes the cam
lever. The disengage gear switches torque from the ASF to the pump mechanism via the gear train.
Figure 2-11 illustrates how the torque is transmitted from the paper feed mechanism to the pump
mechanism.

When the CR unit shifts from the right end to the left end, the lever in the CR unit pushes the
cam release. Then the disengage gear switches torque from the pump mechanism to the paper
feed mechanism. Figure 2-13 illustrates how torque is transmitted from the pump mechanism to
the paper feed mechanism.

The pump mechanism absorbs ink inside the printhead and drains ink to the waste ink drain pads via the
cap. Since the printer has black and color printheads, the pump mechanism functions for the both by using
the alternating directions of the PF motor. When the PF motor rotates forward (the direction for feeding
paper), the pump is used for the black printhead. When the PF motor rotates backward (the direction for
feeding back paper) the pump is used for the color printhead. The pump mechanism is composed of 2
rollers, a tube, and a pulley. To draw ink, the pulley rotates the rollers, squeezing the tube to produce
negative pressure, absorbing the ink and draining it to the waste ink drain pad.

2.2.7 Capping Mechanism

The capping mechanism covers the printheads with the cap holders to prevent ink around the nozzles from
increasing in viscosity while the printer is in stand-by or power is off. The cap is individually equipped for the
black and color printheads. When the CR moves right, the cap holder also shifts right and strikes the right
frame. This motion opens the air valve to release air in the cap. To start printing, the CR moves right from
the home position to strike the right frame with the cap holder so that the air valve opens. This brings
negative pressure in the cap back to normal and the CR goes back to the home position. The power switch
of the printer uses a secondary circuit that keeps power on until the capping operation is complete, even if
the printer is turned off during the operation.

2.2.7.1 Wiping/CR Lock Mechanism

The wiping mechanism removes ink and dust that collect around the nozzles during the cleaning sequence.
When the PF motor rotates backward, torque sent via the head cleaner (wiper) drive gear and the clutch
moves the head cleaner to the path of the printhead. Then the CR unit moves right and left to wipe the
nozzle surface against the head cleaner. The forward rotation of the PF motor causes the head cleaner to
leave the path. Only one head cleaner is used for both black and color printheads. The head cleaner is used
as the CR lock mechanism. When the printer power is off, it locks the CR unit off the printing side. The right
frame also locks the CR at the right end. The CR remains in the capping position while transported.

2.3.1 C172 PSB/PSE Electrical Circuit Board

The input voltages for the PSB/PSE board are shown in Table 2-7. Since the electrical circuit of this printer is
a secondary circuit, it uses a delay timer to make the printer execute the capping operation even after the
printer is turned off. The printer uses this function to prevent ink clogging or smudging caused by an exposed
printhead.

The electrical circuitry of this board uses the RCC (Ringing Choke Converter) switching regulator. AC
voltage is first input to the filter circuit for higher harmonics absorption and is then input to the rectification
and smoothing circuits, where it is converted into DC voltage. The DC voltage is then input to the switching
circuit. An FET on the primary side performs this switching operation then generates +42 voltage that is
stabilized on the secondary side and then converted into a stable +5 VDC by the regulator IC.
The CPU on the C211 main board monitors the on/off power signals from the control panel. When the power
goes off, the CPU sends a Power Off signal (PSC) to the electrical circuit. The electrical board has a delay
circuit (ZD86, C82 and Q84) to delay power-off. The electrolytic capacitor, which controls the delay period,
continues to output +5 V and +42 V by keeping the main circuit switch on the primary side active until all
electric charge is discharged. (The delay period is normally a minimum of 20 seconds, depending on the
capacitor size.)

The operating principles for the various protection and controller circuits shown above are described below.
Y +5 VDC line over-voltage protection circuit
The output voltage level of the 5 V line is monitored by a Zener diode (ZD53). If the voltage level
exceeds 9 V, information is fed back to the primary switching circuit through the transistor (Q82) and
Photo coupler (PC1) to cut the +42 V line to the regulator (OC51).
Y +5 VDC line constant voltage control circuit
Voltage in the +5 VDC line is controlled by the regulator IC (IC51). When abnormal voltage in the +5
VDC line is detected, information is input to the internal comparator of the regulator so it controls the
voltage.
Y +42 VDC line over-voltage protection circuit
The output level of the +42 VDC line is monitored by 2 Zener diodes, ZD52 and ZD87. The circuit
operates as follows:
S Output level of the +42 VDC line exceeds +48 V
S Thyristor (CY52) goes ON
S Transistor (Q81) goes ON
S Photo coupler (PC21) goes ON
S Switching FET operation on the primary side goes OFF
Y +42 VDC line constant voltage control circuit
Voltage at the +42 VDC line is monitored by the Zener diodes (ZD51, ZD81ZD86). This circuit feeds
back the output voltage level status through Photo coupler (PC1) to the primary switching circuit to
control the on/off time of the switching FET for constant output voltage.
Y +42 VDC line overcurrent protection circuit
The output current is monitored by the transistors Q81 and Q82. When the output current is abnormally
2-17

low, the transistors assume there is a short circuit and feed information to the primary circuit to stop the
switching FET operation.

2.3.2.1 Reset Circuits

The C211 main board contains two reset circuits: the logic line (+5 V) and the power (+42 V) line. Reset IC
M51955BFP (IC4) monitors the +42 V line. When the voltage level drops below 33.2 V, It outputs an /NMI
signal to the CPU and the gate array to cut off the power to the motors. When the voltage level drops below
42 V, Reset IC RST592D (IC1) monitors the +5 V line and sends a LOW pulse. During printer power-on, it
outputs LOW until a stabilized +5 V is produced to ensure the CPUs proper operation.

2.3.2.2 Sensor Circuits

This printer has 9 sensors to monitor its condition.
Y HP Sensor (Home position sensor)
The HP sensor uses the photo interrupter system. When the CR unit is at the home position, the signal
goes LOW. A HIGH signal level indicates that the CR unit is off the home position. The photo interrupt
system is highly reliable because it has no contact with any other mechanism.
Y PE_R sensor (Rear Paper End sensor)
The PE_R sensor, attached to the rear side of the paper path, detects paper for continuous feeding or cut
sheets set in the rear side of the paper path. A mechanical switch used for this sensor opens when paper
is fed and closes when no paper is detected.
Y PE_F sensor (Front Paper End sensor)
The PE_F sensor, located in the paper guide unit, detects cut sheets in the ASF. This sensor uses a
mechanical switch, which opens when paper is detected, and closes when no paper is detected.
Y REL sensor (Release sensor)
The REL sensor is built into the rear part of the left frame of the printer mechanism. It determines
whether the release lever is set to the cut sheet side (friction mode), or the continuous paper side (tractor
mode). A mechanical switch opens when the lever is set for friction mode and closes when the lever is
set for tractor mode.
Y DE sensor (Disengage sensor)
DE sensor built into the middle frame detects the CR position. A mechanical switch used for this sensor
opens when the CR is at the pump side and it closes when the CR is at the paper feeding side.
Y BCO sensor (Black ink cartridge sensor)
BCO sensor, attached to the black ink cartridge holder in the CR unit, detects the black ink cartridge
installation condition. A mechanical switch used for this sensor indicates Low when the cartridge is
installed and goes High when the cartridge is not installed. When the sensor detects no cartridge
condition, it resets the ink consumption counter.
2-20
Y CCO sensor (Color ink cartridge sensor)
CCO sensor, attached to the color ink cartridge holder in the CR unit, detects if the color ink cartridge is
installed. A mechanical switch used for this sensor indicates Low with a cartridge installed and goes High
without it. When the sensor detects no cartridge condition, it resets the ink consumption counter.
Y Cover open sensor
Cover open sensor, located at the right end of the printer mechanism unit, monitors the open/close status
for the printer cover. A mechanical switch for this sensor opens when the cover is closed and closes
when the cover is opened. When a cover open condition is detected, the printer sopts printing at the end
of the line and returns the CR slowly to the CR lock position. When printing is commanded, the CR is left
unlocked.
Y Thermistor
Thermistor is attached onto the color head to monitor the temperatures around the head. It is operated to
avoid change in ink viscosity, which affects printing result. The signal output from the sensor is directly
transmitted to the analog port of the CPU.

2.3.2.3 CR Motor Driver Circuits

The CR motor driver IC SLA7043M (IC15) sends motor phase data using the serial data (XCRCLK,
XCRSTB, CRASERI, CRBSERI) and voltage reference data (CRV) from the gate array E05B34 to the driver
to control the phase current in the driver. The data output from the phase A and phase B (CRASERI,
CRBSERI) are transferred synchronizing with the clock signal (XCRCLK). Then the data is read at the driver
IC by the strobe signal (XCRSTB). This sequence enables the micro step with a minimum of 0.026 mm pulse
driven at 2W1-2 phase excitation. The hold signal (CRHLD) also drives 2 phases to place the CR to the
home position and to the cartridge change position. The Figure 2-22 shows the CR motor driver circuit block
diagram.

2.3.2.5 Printhead Driver Circuit

This printer has 2 separate printhead driver circuits, one for the black printhead and one for the color
printhead. Each circuit has the common voltage driver circuit attached to the main board and the nozzle
selection circuit attached to the printhead driver circuit board. The common driver circuits for the both black
and color printheads are composed of the hybrid ICs (IC19) and the terminal transistors. A 128-bit transfer
gate array IC IR2C72C is used for the black printhead nozzle selection circuit. A 128-bit transfer gate array
IC IR2C72C (for cyan and yellow) and a 64-bit transfer gate array IC IR2C73C (for magenta) are used for the
color printhead nozzle selection circuit. Printing data is separated into a common voltage signal and nozzle
selection signal at the gate array E05B33 (IC6) and is then transferred to the corresponding circuit. Figure 224 shows the printhead driver circuit block diagram.

Y Common driver circuit for the black printhead
Gate array E05B33 (IC6) sends serial data to the head nozzle selection circuit on the head to select
nozzles to activate. The data is transferred to the common driver on the control board to drive piezos
that correspond to each nozzle. The operating principles for the black printhead is as follows:
T Nozzle selection circuit
Nozzles for the black printhead are divided into 2 rows with 64 nozzles each, and 2 deferent types of
nozzle selection signals (BAHDATA and BBHDATA) are sent in serial data to the corresponding rows.
Clock signals (BHCLK) are composed of the pulses from #1 to #64. The nozzles to be activated are
determined by the nozzle selection signals synchronized with the clock signals by the latch signals
(BHLAT). However, the numbers used for the pulses and corresponding nozzles are not the same.
T Common driver circuit
The common voltage (VH) is established to correspond to each of the black printhead characteristics.
This value is stored in advance in the EEPROM when printer power is off. At power on, this value is
stored in the RAM. The gate array E05B33 (IC6) refers to the value for the common voltage when
outputting the serial data (SBDATA) as voltage control signals to the common driver circuit. The
serial data transmission control signals (SCLK, SSTB and SCLR) are used for this operation. The
thermistor controls the common voltage by outputting signals to prevent changes in ink viscosity.

Y Color printhead nozzle selector circuit
The operating principles for the color printhead and black printhead are the same except that color
printing is performed with data for 3 different colors: yellow, cyan, and magenta. The operating principles
for the color printhead is described below:
T Nozzle selection circuit
Nozzles for the color printhead are divided into 3 for yellow, cyan, and magenta with 64 nozzles
each. The nozzle selection signals for each color (YHDATA for yellow, MHDATA for magenta and
CHDATA for magenta) are sent simultaneously as serial data. The clock signal (CHCLK) is
composed of the pulses from #1 to #64. The nozzle selection signal and the corresponding clock
signal are synchronized by the latch signal (CHLAT) to determine the nozzle to use. However, the
numbers used for the pulses and corresponding nozzles are not the same.
T Common driver circuit
Common voltage (VH) is established to correspond to each of the black printhead characteristics.
This value is stored in advance in the EEPROM when printer power is off. At power on, the value is
stored in RAM. The gate array E05B33 (IC6) outputs the serial data SCDATA from voltage control
signals to the common driver circuits. The control signals for the serial transmission SCLK, SSTB
and SCLR are used for this operation. The thermistor controls the common voltage by outputting the
signals to prevent changes in ink viscosity.

Ink Cartridge Replacement
The control panel indicates when the ink cartridge needs replacing. It checks for ink cartridge and runs a
cleaning sequence, if necessary.
Cleaning
Prevents a decline in print quality caused by an abnormal nozzle status such as nozzle clogging or
inaccurate ink ejection.
Print Start
Runs the cleaning or flushing cycle after power on, before the printer starts printing.
Flushing
Ejects a few ink dots during printing to prevent ink from increasing viscosity.
Waiting
Runs the flushing operation after printing to avoid nozzle clogging caused by the viscous ink.
False Absorbing
Absorbs the ink inside the cap and eliminates the ink on the nozzle plate after ink is absorbed.
Rubbing
Eliminates the ink and dust that adhere to the nozzle surface. Some dots of ink are absorbed to moisten
the nozzle surface prior to this operation.
Micro Absorbing
Ejects bubbles formed inside the cavity.
Carriage Lock
Locks the carriage when turning off the printer or after nothing is printed for 5 minutes.

2.4.2 Counters
This printer is equipped with following counters. The values for the counters are stored in the EEPROM on
the main control board.
Y Protect Counter A
This counter is used to manage the total amount of drained ink. If the counter value exceeds 65,000, a
maintenance error occurs and the current printing job stops consequently. (Refer to Section 1.4.11.) This
error requires EEPROM clearing and waste ink drain pad replacement. (Refer to Section 1.4.3 and
Section 3.2.9.) The current value for this counter can be found in the default setting mode. (Refer to
Section 1.4.5.) To reset the counter, clear EEPROM through the control panel or by running the
adjustment program.
Y Protect Counter C
This counter is used to manage the amount of ink flushed in the left waste ink drain pad located at left
end of the paper eject drive unit. The counter value corresponds to the amount of ink accumulated in the
pad. If the counter value exceeds the specified value, a maintenance error is indicated and the current
printing job stops consequently. (Refer to Section 1.4.11.) With an occurrence of this error, the waste ink
drain pads must be replaced. (Refer to Section 1.4.3 and Section 3.2.9.) The current value for this
counter can be found in the default setting mode. (Refer to Section 1.4.5.)
Y Black/Color One-time Flag
This flag set in the EEPROM sets a limit to prevent the user from running frequent initial ink charging.
Normally, initial ink charging is performed when the user starts using a new printer. The flag is reset by
clearing the EEPROM through the control panel or adjustment program.
Y Ink Consumption Counter
This counter monitors the amount of ink used throughout the printing, cleaning, and flushing operations
after a new cartridge is installed. The value determines the amount of ink remaining in the cartridge. This
counter is reset when the cartridge is removed.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the waste ink drain pads and the left ink pad when the EEPROM is cleared. (Refer to
Chapter 3.)

Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
This chapter provides information on maintenance of this printer. This printer is basically designed to require
no cleaning. It is, however, preferable to perform cleaning to keep the optimum quality of functionality and
output for a long period of time.
WARNING
;
;
;
Be sure to unplug the AC power cable before cleaning the printer.

Be careful not to get ink in your eyes. If ink does get in your eyes, flush them immediately with fresh
water and see a doctor.
Follow the instructions below when handling the lithium battery installed on the C211 main board.
T Keep the battery away from any metal materials.
T Insert the battery in the right direction. Otherwise it may result in an explosion.
T Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or fire.
CAUTION
;
;
;
Never apply thinner, trichloroethilene, or toner-based solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the
printer. In case of stains, use a cloth soaked with mild detergent.
To prevent damage to cases, do not use a hard brush for cleaning.
Be careful not to damage any interior parts when cleaning inside the printer.
CAUTION
;
;
When transporting the printer, make sure the ink cartridges are installed and the CR unit is fixed.
The ASP printer mechanism is not lubricated. Apply lubricants to the paper eject frame when
replacing it.
6-1
6.2 Service Maintenance

When abnormal printing or a maintenance request error occurs, perform the maintenance service described
below.
6.2.1 Printhead Cleaning

If abnormal printing occurs, run a printhead cleaning sequence through the control panel. This may not have
an impact on printing performance, however, because the most suitable printhead cleaning sequence
(including flushing) is automatically performed during printing to keep the printer in its best condition.
1. Press the Pause button to put the printer into off-line status. (Pause LED goes off.)
2. Press the Shift and LF/FF buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The printer enters the black printhead
cleaning mode. (Press the Shift and Load/Eject buttons for the color printhead cleaning.) The printer
automatically exits the cleaning mode and returns to off-line status.
3. Press the Pause button after the cleaning is executed, and the printer goes into stand-by.
CAUTION
;
;
Do not perform cleaning unless the printouts are obviously abnormal.

Excessive cleaning may shorten carriage life.
6.2.2 Maintenance Request

This printer monitors the capacity of the ink drain pad by monitoring the amount of ink absorbed from the ink
cartridge. When the ink drain pads are close to capacity, a maintenance request error is indicated. While the
printer is in this status, it does not accept data from the host or any operation through the control panel.
Power on/off may also be ignored. In this case, reset the EEPROM. (Refer to Section 1.4.3 in Chapter 1.)
CAUTION
6-2
Replace the waste ink drain pads when resetting the EEPROM.
Maintenance
6.3 Lubrication and Adhesion

Use of lubricants and adhesives has a considerable affect on the performance and durability of the printer,
especially lubrication at low temperatures, which requires careful selection of the lubricant. Therefore, apply
adequate lubrication as specified by this manual, which is based on the analysis of technical information and
results from the experimental use of a wide range of lubricants and adhesives. Note the following when using
adhesives and lubricants:
Clean the lubrication points prior to applying adhesive.

Lubricate the printer periodically as specified.
Lubricate the printer after cleaning, disassembling, and assembling the printer for parts replacement.
Apply adhesive when assembling the printer or replacing parts. Be sure to used adequate amounts of
adhesive and let it dry thoroughly. The overflow of adhesives may cause malfunctions in nearby parts.
CAUTION
The lubricants and adhesives specified for this printer are selected based on testing with this printer.
Never apply items that are not specified, or printer life and performance might decrease.
