• The cooperation of the user/operator is used effectively. acknowledgement you will usually get doubts and quibbles such as “I’m paying for
maintenance”, “I’m not familiar with the equipment” and “it only benefits the manufacturer.”

ideas on protective maintenance include:
• Adhere strictly to preventive maintenance periods. The following explains the items you need in order to understand fault conditions in detail:
• In a case of carrying out preventive maintenance, gain the approval of the user • Check error messages
beforehand. • Check user’s usage conditions
• Don’t press preventive maintenance on the user. • Output from diagnostic pattern
• Output from setup lists
3. Fault maintenance work • Retest after changing settings
A fault will hold up the user’s work and must be remedied quickly. The following are some
basic ideas on fault maintenance:
3-1 Use the user/operator to obtain a more detailed grasp of the fault.
• Conduct a primary consultation by “inquiry sheet”, “fax” and “telephone”
• Select applicable symptoms from the trouble-shooting lists and make inquiries in
accordance with the primary consultation form. (Check error messages, check the
user’s operating conditions, test again with changed settings, output test patterns, etc.)
3-2 If it is not solved by the primary consultation, take the necessary maintenance
items and make an on-site visit.
• Assemble the necessary maintenance parts from the matrix map
• At the user’s premises, first check the symptoms.
• Proceed with maintenance work in accordance with the fault tracing procedure.
• After the repair work is finished, be sure to check again by testing in accordance with
the test procedure.
3-3 If repair is not possible even though all the work has been done in accordance with
the fault tracing procedure, contact the Technical Support in the your local dealer.

mounted, or in an environment with sudden changes of temperature and humidity, the whole roll may not necessarily feed
properly.

1-11 • Is the printing bidirectional?

Since the head prints when moving both left and right, this plotter is able to print faster in standard and high
speed monochrome modes and in high speed color mode. However, in exchange for high speed, the printing
quality is reduced a little. For higher quality printing, it is recommended that high quality mode be used for
monochrome and standard or high quality mode be used for color.
→ Change mode and check the result.
1-12 • Have color adjustment settings been made in the plotter driver?

1-6 • If the symptoms occur after cartridges have been replaced or after cartridges have been removed and re-installed, check
whether any of the following items apply:
Good example 1. Ink cartridges are kept in a cool, dark place but they will freeze if they are stored for a long time below -3°C. Avoid
storage below freezing point.
If the ink has frozen, leave it for at least three hours at room temperature (20°C) and use it after it has thawed.
2. The seal should not be opened until just before the ink cartridge in inserted in the slot. If an ink cartridge has been left
unsealed for a long time, the printing will be faint and cleaning will be required.
3. An ink cartridge should not be removed from the slot until it is to be replaced otherwise normal printing may become
impossible even though there is ink remaining in the cartridge.
If it is removed and re-installed, at least cleaning will be needed and for recovery it may be necessary to replaced the
cartridge with a new one.
4. If a cartridge has been brought from a cold place into a warm place, dew may condense on the cartridge and it will need
to left for at least one hour until the dew has disappeared before it is used.
1-7 • Is the plotter installed within the guaranteed working temperature range for the print head, as stated in the Operation Manual
and has that environment been maintained in a stable condition for two hours?
→ It may not be possible to obtain good printing results in an environment which is outside the guaranteed working
temperature range or where there is a sudden rise or fall of temperature.
Check the environmental conditions and try again within the specified range.
1 • Dots are missing from the printing 1-8 • When printing is faint or dirty, first check the following three points:
1. Has image quality precision been adjusted?
Bad example → mage quality precision should be adjusted whenever there is a transverse line across the media feed direction or there is
a gap between the black and another color.
2. Are locations 1G to 7G printed normally in the primary consultation print pattern?
→ If there are parts missing from the primary consultation print pattern, clean three times in succession.
3. Has a cleaning been done?
→ For details of how to clean, refer to “Control panel” in the Operation Manual.

1 • The layout function does not work 1-1 Confirm: Is the Ideal LED in the panel layout section lit?
correctly No: Light up Ideal.
Yes: Go to 1-2
Reference: Refer to the item on "Control panel" in the Operation Manual regarding how to make layout settings.
Confirm: Which of the following applies to the symptoms?
1-2 Receives but does not plot (does not plot continuously) Go to 1-3
Plots but positioning is strange Go to 1-4
Confirm: Is plotting data being sent for as many pages as can be accommodated on one sheet?
1-3 (Example: If A1 roll media is mounted, are two A3 pages sent?)
No: When the layout (positioning of diagrams) is processed, if more plotting data can be accommodated in the
available white space, the plotter will for more data until the layout timeout period has elapsed. If no more plotting
data is sent during this waiting period, plotting will begin as soon as the layout timeout period has elapsed.
Therefore, this may be the cause of the symptom that no plotting occurs even though data has been received. To
solve this, either change the layout timeout period or send another page of the same diagram.
Yes: Go to 2-1
Reference: For details concerning how to control layout timeouts, refer to the item on “Menu” in “Plotter controls” of the
Operation Manual.
Confirm: Does the page size of the roll media function setting menu agree with the size (rated) of the plotting data that has been
1-4 sent?
No: Since layout will not proceed smoothly unless there is agreement between plotting data and plotter rating (A series,
B series, etc.), they should be set the same.
Yes: Go to 1-5
Reference: For details concerning how to control page size settings, refer to the item on “Menu” in “Plotter settings and
special functions” of the Operation Manual.
Confirm: Try changing the positioning method on the roll media function setting menu. Does the plotting position change?
1-5 Yes: The positioning method setting is what determines the standard that will be used for the layout. Since it is
important to use a setting for the layout that will be most appropriate with respect to the data sent by the driver,
you should advise the use of a setting that will give the correct plotting position.
No: Go to 1-6
Reference: For details concerning how to control positioning method settings, refer to the item on “Menu” in “Plotter

1-4 Confirm: Try changing pen priority settings on the plotter. Does this solve the problem?
Yes: Since pen priority specifies whether panel pen settings or command (plotting data) pen settings have
priority, a panel setting may not produce the expected plotting result unless the pen priority has been set to
panel. Similarly, a pen setting made on the CAD (driver) side may not produce the expected plotting result
unless the pen priority has been set to command. The pen priority should be set so that the desired plotting
result will be produced.

How to Measure the Y Rail Fitting Precision Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C REP1610

TEST NO
CAUTION: The Y Rail fitting precision affects picture quality and
rectangular accuracy. If, for any reason, you think the precision
has altered or the frame and XY rails have been removed and
readjustment is necessary, special jigs are available for taking
measurements. If the Y Rail height has changed, this will affect L1
picture quality precision and capping precision. If the amount
of change is minimal, it can be recovered by picture quality L2
adjustment and zone delay compensation but if it exceeds a
certain amount (maximum value - minimum value >= 0. *), it
will be beyond the range of control by zone delay.
If Y Rail parallelism (L2) has altered, this will affect rectangular
precision, XF sensor and cutter head distance, capping
precision, etc.
Y Rail height measurement can be measured with the covers

fitted but the jig must be fitted in a place where there is no
pressure unit. Fit the Jig Assembly to the Y Rail and read the
measurements with slight pressure. For Y Rail parallel Rail Height Jig Assembly

How to Clean the Head Nozzle Face Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C REP1660
If the nozzles are clogged by paper dust or foreign matter clinging to the Head
Nozzle Face, use the following procedure to remove it.
CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the nozzle face directly with
your fingers otherwise normal ejection may not be
possible.
1. Turn off the Power Switch and return the Head to the home position.
(The Power Cable may remain connected)
2. Open the Front Cover and remove the Plotting Board and Front Paper Guide
(You will need a short Phillips screwdriver to remove the Plotting board.)
3. Bring the Head to the printing area.
4. Soak a lint-free cloth in water or distiled water and gently wipe the Head
Nozzle Face.
(Lint-free cloth is closely woven from extremely fine threads and has no nap
and produces no dust.)
CAUTION: Don’t wipe with fluffy cloth or tissue paper as these
tend to make the clogging worse.
CAUTION: Be careful not to rub the nozzle face too hard.

5. Return the Head to the home position.
6. Refit the Plotting Board and Front Paper Guide.
7. Turn on the Power Switch and print out a diagnostic pattern. If there are no

Explanation of Operating Principles and Mechanisms Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C GID2000
Principles of Operation
1. Ink ejection principle
The printing system of RJ-800 Series heads is an on-demand piezoelectric operated system. The principle of this system is that, using the vibration of a piezo element, ink
enters the flow path and the path expands and contracts when the piezo element vibrates, ejecting the ink.
Therefore, when the head is to be used in a stable condition, it is vital that the ink enters and remains in the flow path in a stable condition. Also, at the leading edge of the
head (the ends of the nozzles) it is extremely important that the ink is kept in a condition (meniscus) such that it can be ejected at any time.
2. For stabilizing and ejecting ink
So long as the meniscus of the nozzle section is kept in a constant condition, the piezo head ought to be capable of stable ejection throughout its physical life. However,
the ink is not being ejected from the nozzle at constant intervals. In the periods when there is no ejection, the ink hardens in the nozzle and the meniscus may be
destroyed.
Therefore, restoring these conditions is a mandatory requirement for using the piezo head in a stable condition. Accordingly, a piezo type system is provided with a
cleaning unit and it would be no exaggeration to say that the reliability of the cleaning system is more important than the ejection. (Causes of nozzle clogging include dust
and hardening of the ink that has been left too long.)
3. Printing sequence
The piezo head is most stable when ink is being ejected regularly. Therefore, ink is ejected from all nozzles at certain regular intervals during printing. Naturally, it would
be wrong if this were to be ejected onto the media so a place for this ejection is provided near the cleaning unit. (For flushing: the flushing box)
4. Initial filling operation
After the user has purchased a plotter, this operation is required once only and it is intended to enable the head to print by filling the head with ink from the ink cartridges.
ink filling uses the cleaning unit pump motor to suck ink from the ink cartridges until it arrives at the head.
5. Cleaning and strong cleaning
This operation is to restore the head to normal condition by removing any foreign matter clinging to the head face or when the ink at the ends of the nozzles has hardened.

Color Printing Sequence (Including Flushing) Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C GID4090

Explanation of Operations Around the Head Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C GID4100b
• Head cleaning
This function is to remedy head nozzle blockage.
When ink is ejected by the pump attached to the capping unit, head maintenance is carried out by wiping and rubbing actions.
Cleaning modes include normal cleaning and powerful cleaning as well as periodic cleaning after each hour of accumulated printing time.
When the panel cleaning key is pressed, normal cleaning is done first.
After that, if the cleaning key is pressed again before three pages have been plotted, powerful cleaning will be carried out automatically.
• Function to prevent head drying out

During a plotting operation, if the head is stationary for more than 20 seconds while waiting for data for instance, the head will be made to stand by at the capping to position to prevent it
from drying out.
Plotting will be resumed automatically when data are supplied.
• Function to detect no ink

The no ink sensor for each cartridge will react when the amount of ink in the cartridge is low. At this time the panel LCD will display an “ink low” warning. However, a certain amount of
ink will remain in the cartridge. When this remaining ink has been ejected, “no ink” will be indicated on the panel.
When “no ink” appears on the panel during plotting,
if the data are vector data only, plotting will continue to the end,
if the data include raster data, plotting will stop.
No further plotting will be done until the cartridge is replaced.
• Function to detect waste fluid full

When waste fluid initial filling and cleaning accumulates in the waste fluid box, the plotter will ask for the waste fluid box to be replaced. No more cleaning will be possible until the
replacement of the waste fluid box has been confirmed by an operation.
The absorption capacity of the waste fluid box is 372 cc and the amount of ink sucked out during cleaning is roughly as shown below:
Normal cleaning Monochrome mode: 0.3 cc, color mode: 0.6 cc
Strong cleaning Monochrome mode: 0.7 cc, color mode: 1.4 cc
Head washing and initial filling: about 100 cc total.
When the waste fluid has accumulated up to 90% of the absorption capacity of the waste fluid box, “Change Tank?” will appear in the panel, warning that it is nearly time to replace the
waste fluid box.
Then, when 100% of the absorption capacity of the waste fluid box has accumulated, “Waste fluid box full” will appear.
When the “Waste fluid box full” message has appeared during plotting,
plotting will continue to the end whether the data are vector data only or raster data are included.
No further plotting will be done until the cartridge “Change Tank?” is replaced.
When the waste fluid box is replaced, “Has it been replaced?” will appear in the panel display and when this is confirmed by answering “Yes”, the waste fluid counter will be cleared.
The waste fluid box may also be replaced before the “Waste fluid box full” appears.
Explanation of Operations Around the Head Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C GID4100b

Explanation of Operations Around the Head Model Name: R J – 8 0 i C GID4101
• Head washing
This function is operated only from Self-Diagnostic mode. (Refer to BAC2160)
It is a function intended for removing ink from the heads and tubes and for washing them when the plotter is shipped and whenever it is moved.
The operation is broken into the following three stages. You will need the head washing jig. (Refer to CAT2000)
(1) Suck out the ink from the head and ink tube. (Do this with no ink cartridge)
(2) Suck out the washing fluid and wash the head and ink tube. (Install the washing jig in place of the cartridge)
(3) Suck out the washing fluid, leaving the head and ink tube empty)
If “Black & Color” is selected, do steps (1) to (3) above for black and then repeat steps (1) to (3) above for color.
“Black & Color” washing takes about 20 minutes.
CAUTION 1: When to do head washing

You must do “Head Washing” (Refer to REP1620) whenever this plotter is to be transported by truck (Refer to CON6000) and when the following parts are replaced.
< Replacement parts > Head, damper, head cable, cartridge frame assembly, ink tube.
CAUTION 2: Head Washing Jig

When the head washing jig is to be used, fill the jig’s 100 cc bottle with at least 50 cc of washing fluid and use it with the cap loosened.
If head washing is done with the cap tightened, ink will flow back into the 100 cc bottle.
When you have finished head washing, return the remaining washing fluid from the 100 cc bottle to the 500 cc washing fluid bottle (JD-42054).
• Initial filling
This is a function to restore plotting capability after head washing by filling the head tube with ink.
This will be done automatically once only when power is switched on after head washing (except in Self-Diagnostic Mode).
If a “Not yet filled” message appears when the power is switched on, install the ink cartridges. Initial filling will then proceed automatically.
Initial filling can also be forced in Self-Diagnostic Mode. (Refer to BAC2040)
Don’t switch off the power during initial filling.
CAUTION 3: Plotting After Initial Filling

Wait at least 30 minutes before plotting after initial filling, otherwise printing quality can not be assured.
