Note 1: For both PC connection and Directing printing, only one type of media is accessible at the same time.
Priority is assigned to each slot, so that if multiple media are inserted into multiple slots at the same time, an accessible slot is determined in the order of priority.
2: In order to select the medium inserted into an invalid slot, the medium in the valid slot needs to be removed.
• For direct printing: Only the image files in a valid slot are determined to be valid and assigned photo numbers. The number of images does not change even if media are inserted into unselected slots.
• For PC connection (Windows): Only one “removable disk” drive is displayed; and only the medium in a valid slot can be accessed from the “removable disk.” Media inserted in unselected slots are not accessible.
• For PC connection (Macintosh): Only the medium in a valid slot is mounted onto the desktop. Media inserted in unselected slots can not be mounted onto the desktop.
3: Selecting a slot when power is turned on: If media are inserted into multiple slots when power is turned on, an accessible slot is determined in accordance with the above order of priority.
4: Selecting a slot after power is turned on: When the medium is removed from the valid slot, the slot of the second highest priority becomes valid (if a medium is inserted there). It is not necessary to reinsert the
medium before it is accessed.

2.1.1 Mechanical Components
CD-R Guide
The printer of Stylus PHOTO RX560/580/590 consists of the following major Sensor APG Sensor
mechanisms:
CD-R Tray
Table 2-1. Mechanical Components 1 Sensor
PF Roller Shaft
PW Sensor
Mechanism Function/Description
Moves on the CR Guide Shaft right and left and performs printing on paper.
CR Assy The Carriage Assy incorporates the Printhead, PW Sensor, and CR Encoder.
The drive source is the CR Motor.
Controls the platen gap in four stages. CR Encoder
APG Assy Detects the current height of the carriage with the APG Sensor, and moves
the carriage up and down, driven by the PF Motor.
PF Assy Driven by the PF Motor to turn the PF Roller Shaft for feeding paper. Printhead
LD Roller
ASF Assy Driven by the PF Motor to load paper into the Printer Mechanism.
Driven by the PF Motor to eject the paper (CD-R Tray).
Eject Assy PE Sensor
As the Stacker is moved up and down (by manual operation), the paper eject
frame moves up and down so that its height can be adjusted to the media. Eject Frame CR Assy
Located in the right end of the mechanism, performs capping the Printhead,
I/S Assy while it is not used, and sucking waste ink. The waste ink is sent to the Waste
Ink Tray via the Waste Ink Tube.

2.3 Banding Reduction System (BRS)/ Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP)
Overview
To ensure high-speed printing and high print quality, this printer is provided with the Banding Reduction System (BRS) and Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP) function, which are
outlined below:

The conventional paper feed adjustment method is such that the Borderless printing

realizes high print quality and high-speed printing on a supported paper
type and in a supported printing resolution.
How to prepare correction data

For each of BRS and PFP, print the relevant pattern for correction data preparation and read the printed pattern through the scanner. Then calculate the correction data and store the data
in the serial flash ROM on the Main Board. The correction data are applied to printing in the supported printing mode.

4. Wait for more than five minutes to dry the printed pattern.
C H E C K The adjustment program, using the unit identification code,

P O IN T judges whether the printer for which the correction value is
registered is the same one that was used to print the adjustment
pattern.
When a scanner with a CIS system is to be used to read the
adjustment pattern, wait for more than five minutes to dry the
printed pattern and then start scanning.
When a scanner with a CCD system is to be used, the printed
pattern can be read without waiting for drying after printing.
(See Table 5-4. Specified Scanner for BRS/PFP Adjustment (p.

5. Set the reference scale and the printed BRS adjustment pattern on the scanner, Scanner origin
and press the [Read] button of “3. Read the adjustment pattern”.
6. The BRS correction value will be automatically calculated based on the read
adjustment pattern and be written on the serial flash ROM.
In case an error has occurred, check and make sure that the document table
glass and the reference scale are free from dust and dirt and the reference scale
and adjustment pattern are not on a slant. Then repeat the procedure from step
5 above.
C A U T IO N When setting the reference scale and adjustment pattern on the

scanner, observe the following instructions:
Position the top right corner of the reference scale at the
scanner origin and set the reference scale in such a position
that its right side is in close contact with the document table
glass end.
Place the adjustment pattern along the reference scale as
shown at right. In doing so, position the adjustment pattern so
that it is in parallel with the reference scale and there is no
clearance between them.
