Important Points
To Ensure Safe Work

Turn off the sub power SW and main power SW,
and unplug the power cable of the printer
before per forming par ts replacement.
Performing the parts replacement while the 1
REPLACEMENT
power is on may result in injury by unintended
operation of the printer.
Static electricity can harm some electronic

devices. To prevent static damage, discharge
static electricity from your body before you
touch any of electronic devices. You can do so
by touching an unpainted metal surface on the
chassis. You can also take the following steps to
prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
zzWhen unpacking a static-sensitive device

from its shipping carton, do not remove the
device from the antistatic packing material
until you are ready to install the device to the
printer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
zzWhen transporting a sensitive device, first

place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
zzHandle all sensitive devices in a static-safe

area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.

Possible causes of linear encoder error

1 ) There is a failure in the encoder slit.
2 ) There is a failure in the encoder sensor.
3 ) There is a backlash between the carriage motor gear and drive gear.
4 ) The belt is not attached to the head carriage firmly.
This adjustment is required when:

- The linear encoder slit and encoder sensor are replaced.

Crop Mark Sensor Output Level Adjustment
The printer prints a crop mark on media, and the crop mark sensor automatically moves to above the crop mark to
detect output level. Before performing this menu, make sure to setup media. The head carriage automatically moves to
the position where the sensor is right above the crop mark.
The value displayed at the bottom part of the LCD screen is the current output voltage value of the crop mark sensor.
Adjust the voltage by adjusting the VR (VR500) on the cutting carriage board.

The values displayed at the upper part of the LCD screen are the minimum/maximum voltage values detected before.
Adjustment
Press the [ENTER] key to reset the maximum voltage value.
Procedures for crop mark sensor output level adjustment:

1. Lower the pinch roll, and setup media.
2. Perform [OUTLEVEL CHECK]. Adjust the VR so that the output voltage value becomes the right value.
3. Perform [OUTLEVEL CHECK] again. Confirm that the output voltage value is the right value.
If not, go back to step 2.
*Perform this adjustment when:

- the crop mark sensor is replaced or the part where the crop mark sensor is attached to is replaced or adjusted
- the carriage board is replaced
- voltage is accidentally tuned
- the distance between the crop mark sensor and the surface of the bed has been changed
The [OUTLEVEL CHECK] menu allows you to move the cut carriage freely by hand.
To detect the voltage value of blank space on media, move the carriage to the place where a crop mark is not printed
on.
CROPMARK SENSE ADJUST

ADJUST +2 +1
Adjusting the Sensitivity of the Crop Mark Sensor

To detect crop marks, the sensor first detects the voltage level of white area on media where no objects are printed on.
The voltage level of the area where crop marks are printed on is at least 0.7 V higher than that of white area.
In case the difference of the voltage level is below 0.7V, change the sensitivity of the sensor so that the sensor can detect
the crop marks.
This menu is to be used only when crop marks cannot be detected and you need to change the sensitivity of the sensor.
Avoid performing this adjustment unless you really need to.
Please note that changing parameters can affect the accuracy of crop mark sensor detection.
- Adjustable range: 0 to +2
- Default: 0
Sensitivity “0” : Difference between the voltage value of white area and the threshold value is 0.7.
Sensitivity “+1” : Difference between the voltage value of white area and the threshold value is 0.5.

• Shake the ink pouch gently before installing it.
• Be sure to replace with an item of identical type. Never mix items of different types.
5
Service
activities
• Never leave the machine with any ink pouch removed. The print heads may become clogged.
• When printing is paused, the coloring at the seam may be altered when printing resumes. Before you perform lengthy
printing, check the amount of ink remaining in the ink pouches.
□□Disposing of Discharged fluid

• The message "EMPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" appears when a certain amount of discharged fluid has collected in the bottle.
Make sure to discard the discharged ink.
C AUTI O N
• "EMPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" message disappears when "NO" is selected without disposing of discharged fluid.
• If "NO" is selected continuously, the hand or the work floor may get soiled by overflowing discharged fluid from drain
