1.5 Standalone Print Function

1.5.1 File System
The file system that can be used by the standalone print function of this machine is DCF Version 1.0 only. Compatibility of other file systems is not guaranteed. Also, the file system that the card reader function can handle is in accordance with the specifications of the host. For the detailed specification of DCF, see Camera File System Standard DCF Version 1.0, JEIDA-49-2-1998.
1.5.3 Valid Image Sizes

The image sizes that are valid in this machine are in accordance with DCF Version 1.0. Note that the image sizes that are mandatory for DCF Version 1.0 are as follows: Horizontal: 160 <= X <= 1800 (pixel) Vertical: 160 <= Y <= 1200 (pixel)
However, this machine handles the following size range: Horizontal: 160 <= X <= 3200 (pixel) Vertical: 160 <= Y <= 3200 (pixel)
1.5.2 File Format

The following file formats can be used for this machine: JPEG file (*.JPG) Photo data file in accordance with Exif Version 2.1 UDL file (*.USD) Definition file for user defined layout. Only files in the MISC directory are valid. Camera specification file (*.MRK) Definition file used in camera specification mode. AUTOPRINT.MRK file that has a full-pass name with up to 32 characters is valid. EPSON frame file (*.EFF) Frame data file format defined for standard use of EPSON products. Only files in the MISCFRAME directory are valid. * PNG and TIFF formats are not supported.
1.5.4 Maximum Number of Photo Data Files

This machine can handle up to 999 photo data files. If 1000 or more photo data files are recorded in a memory card, these files are sorted in accordance with the file sort rule of this machine, and photo data with photo numbers 1 to 999 are used as valid data. Photo data files that are specified for printing in the camera specification file can be specified for printing only if their photo number exceed 999. However, the numbers of photos that can be specified for printing are limited to 999.
1.5.5 Thumbnail Image Data

Only thumbnail image data in accordance with DCF Version 1.0 (160x120 pixels in Exif format) can be handled. This machine uses thumbnail images in index print mode. However, you can set not to use thumbnail images in this mode.
1.5.6 File Sort

This machine sorts all the photo data files in a memory card using the information such as date, time, and file name attached to the photo data files to assign photo numbers. Because the photo number is assigned in accordance with the file sort rule specific to this machine, it may not match with the photo number displayed when the data is viewed in a digital camera.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Standalone Print Function
16
Revision A
1.5.6.1 File Sort Rule

This machine sorts the photo data files based on the following priorities: 1. 2. Older data first. The date and time information attached to the photo data files are used for sorting. Up to seconds are used for the time information. If files with same date exist, the full-pass of the file names are sorted in normal ASCII order.
1.5.6.2 Date Data Capture Rule

This machine tries to capture the date and time from each photo data file based on the following priorities: 1. 2. 3. Date and time information in accordance with the digital camera standard format (Exif). Data and time information of the file system supported in DOS (timestamp of the file). Fixed values (1 January 1970 00:00:00)
Note that the date and time information attached to each photo data file may not match with the date and time at which the photo was captured. Some of the said date and time data is updated due to a calendar setting (whether the function exist/not exist, incorrect preset date) in a digital camera, post-processing or restoring of the photo data. If the data has been updated, this machine captures the updated date and time information for further processing.
1.5.6.3 Date Range

This machine can handle the following range of date. If photo data files have date and time information outside the following range, all the file sort results are undetermined. 1 January 1970 00:00:00 - 31 December 2069 23:59:59

1.9 Errors
Ink Out When the printer runs out most of the ink of any color, it indicates ink-low and keeps printing. When the printer runs out the whole ink of any color, it stops printing and indicates ink-out error. User is then requested to install a new inkcartridge in this state. An ink-cartridge that has been taken out once should never be used again. Re-installation of the cartridge not filled fully upsets the ink level detection and may eventually cause a serious problem in the print head. Paper Out When the printer fails to load a sheet, it goes into a paper out error. Paper Jam When the printer fails to eject a sheet, it goes into a paper jam error. No Ink-Cartridge When the printer detects that ink-cartridge comes off, or failed to read or write CSIC data, it goes into this error mode. Maintenance Request When the total amount of ink wasted through cleanings and flushing reaches to the limit, printer indicates this error and stops. In such a case, the absorber in the printer enclosure needs to be replaced with new one by service personnel. Fatal Errors Carriage control error.
1.10 Printing of filled patterns

Filled patterns can be printed by the following methods. Printing by Remote Command Use the NC command from the remote commands. Status Printing Turn the power on while pressing the Paper Feed / Eject button. Print by the D4 Control Command Send the NC command by the C4 command channel.

2.1 Overview
Paper Eject Roller
This section describes the operating principles of the printer mechanism and electrical circuit boards. The Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX has the following boards: Main board: Power supply board: C408 MAIN C408 PSB/PSE
PF Motor PF Roller CR Timing Belt Star Wheel Roller
Monochrome panel board: C408 PNL Printer panel board: C408 PNL-B

2.1.1 Printer Mechanism

The printer mechanism for Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX is designed newly. But, the basic component of the printer mechanism is same as previous product. This printer consists of Print Head, Carriage Mechanism, Paper Feeding Mechanism, Paper Loading Mechanism, Ink System (Pump Mechanism, Cap Mechanism, and Carriage Lock Mechanism). Like other EPSON ink jet printers, the Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX is equipped with three stepping motors; one for ASF/Pump mechanism, one for Paper feeding mechanism and one for carriage mechanism. ASF unit uses rear entry front eject system. This ASF unit is also designed so that the single LD roller loads the paper to the printer mechanism. For cap assembly, Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX uses valveless mechanism.

2.1.2 Printhead
CSIC
The printhead uses a new developed U-CHIPS head and Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX can perform multiple shot printing and variable printing. The CSIC is mounted on the ink cartridge. By storing ink life data, this IC makes it possible to control the ink in ink cartridge unit. The basic operating principles of the printhead, which plays a major role in printing, are the same as previous models; on-demand method which uses PZT (Piezo Electric Element). In order to uniform the amount of ejecting ink, the printhead has its own head ID (13 digits for this printhead) which adjust PZT voltage drive features. The printhead stores the head ID to EEPROM and generates appropriate PZT drive voltage to prevent amount of ink from varying by printheads. Following explains printhead basic components. PZT PZT is an abbreviation of Piezo Electric Element. Certain amount of voltage expands and contracts PTZ. The drive wave generated on MAIN board drives PZT and PZT pushes the top cavity which has ink stored to discharge the ink from each nozzle on the nozzle plate. Ink Cavity The ink absorbed from the ink cartridge goes through the filter and then is stored temporarily in this tank called cavity until PZT is driven. Nozzle Plate The board with nozzle holes on the printhead surface is called Nozzle Plate. CSIC Connection Circuit This circuit connects the CSIC mounted on the ink cartridge and the main board. One end of the wire harness connects with the print head cable to the main board. Filter When the ink cartridge is installed, if any dirt or dust around the cartridge needle is absorbed into the head, there is a great possibility of causing nozzle clog and disturbance of ink flow, and finally causing alignment failure and dot missing. To prevent this problem, a filter is set below the cartridge needle, where ink is filtered.

2.1.2.1 Printing Process

This section explains the process in which the printheads of On-Demand inkjet printers eject ink from each nozzle. 1. Normal State: When no printing signal is sent from PC, or no PZT drive voltage is applied, PZT does not change shape, therefore PZT does not squeeze the cavity. Ink pressure inside the cavity is kept normal. Ejecting State: When the print signal is output from the C408 MAIN board, IC (Nozzle Selector) located on the printhead unit latches data once by 1-byte unit. An appropriate PZT latched by the nozzle selector is pushed into the cavity by the common voltage applied from the main board. By this operation, ink stored in the cavity spurts out from nozzles.

2.1.2.2 Printing Method

For print dot system, Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX has the following two kinds of printing modes. Multiple shot printing Variable dot printing The above two printing modes are automatically selected depending on the media and the resolution setting of the printer driver. The following explains each printing mode. Multiple shot printing This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on plain paper or transparencies in low resolution. The multiple shot printing mode uses normal dot and the number of dot shots varies from 1 shot to maximum 3 shots depending on the print data to enable sharp image output even in a low resolution. Variable dot printing This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on exclusive paper. This mode is basically the same as variable dot printing mode used on other products ; micro dot, middle dot, and large dot compose this mode. Print dot size varies according to print data and this mode enables even sharper image output on exclusive paper.
2.1.3 Carriage Mechanism

The carriage mechanism consists of Carriage motor (CR motor), Carriage unit (including printhead), CR timing belt, CR guide shaft, platen gap adjustment mechanism, parallelism adjustment mechanism CR guide frame, CR home detector (HP/PE sensor) etc. The carriage mechanism moves the carriage back and forth according to the drive from the carriage motor. The following stepping motor is mounted to drive CR mechanism. (See the table below.)

The adjust lever is mounted on the right end of the carriage guide shaft. The carriage guide shaft is an eccentric shaft and is rotated by operating the adjust lever, and thus narrows (1.2 mm) or widens (2.1 mm) the gap (platen gap; PG) between the platen surface and the print head. This is a mechanism for use by the user to select the appropriate PG in accordance with the print results or other conditions such as the amount of curl in the paper. Also, the parallelism adjustment bushings mounted on the left and right ends of the carriage guide shaft adjust the amount of parallelism between the carriage guide shaft and the platen.

2.1.4 Paper Feeding Mechanism

The paper feeding mechanism consists of Paper feed motor (PF motor), PF roller, Paper eject roller, Star wheel roller, and so on. The paper feeding mechanism feeds paper loaded from ASF using the PF roller and Paper Eject Roller & Star wheel roller. For this mechanism, the PF motor mentioned in the right Table 2-3."PF Motor Specifications" is used on this product. The drive of the PF motor is transfer to the PF roller and the Paper Eject Roller as following Figure 2-8. "Paper Feeding Mechanism".

Paper loaded from ASF is advanced by the following roller. Paper feed roller & Paper guide roller (assembled on the Top Frame) Paper eject roller & Star wheel roller (assembled on the Paper eject frame). Additionally, the top & end of the paper is detected with the PE sensor. In case the PE sensor dose not detect the paper in the paper loading sequence, the printer detects the Paper out error. If the paper is detected after complete the paper eject sequence, the printer detects the Paper jam error.

2.1.5 Paper Loading Mechanism (ASF Unit)

The Paper loading mechanism is positioned at the printer rear. The Paper loading mechanism loads paper at the ASF unit and feeds paper to the PF roller. This ASF unit consists of ASF motor, LD roller, Pad holder (Paper return plate), ASF Frame, Hopper, and so on. Table shows the ASF motor specifications.

For the major feature of this ASF unit, ASF HP sensor is not used and the single LD roller is built in the ASF unit. Drive sent from the ASF motor is always transmitted to the ASF unit side. But, the Change lever and the Clutch mechanism switch ON/OFF drive to the LD roller. Drive from the ASF motor is transmitted to the ASF unit as described below: Switch the ASF motor drive to ASF unit side ASF Motor pinion gear rotates CCW direction with a specific steps Combination Gear 14.4, 38.4 (CW) Combination Gear 37.6, 44.4 (CCW) Spur Gear 23.2 (CW) Spur Gear 35.2 (CCW) Release the Clutch mechanism lock position

Figure 2-11. Disengage & Clutch mechanism

The Clutch mechanism transmits the ASF motor drive to the LD roller shaft only when the Clutch gear rotates CW direction after the Change lever releases the Clutch lever. If the Clutch gear rotates CCW direction, the ASF motor drive is not transmitted to the LD roller. This is due to the combination of the shape of the Clutch gear and the Clutch lock tooth such as described on the figure. 1. When the ASF motor rotates CW direction, the Change lever is set on the Clutch lever and the Clutch is pushed down as above Step1s figure. As the result, the Clutch gear is released from the Cluck lock tooth and the drive from the ASF motor is not transmitted to the LD roller shaft. When the ASF motor rotates CCW direction in the above Step2s figure, the Change lever moves to the left direction with the CCW rotation of Combination gear 37.6, 44.4. The Clutch turns back to the engagement position by the tension force of the Tension spring 0.143 and the Clutch gear is engaged with the Clutch lock tooth as above Step2s center figure. When the ASF motor rotates CW direction in the above Step3s figure, the Change lever moves to the right direction with the CW rotation of the Combination gear 37.6, 44.4. And the drive from the PF motor is transmitted to the LD roller shaft via Clutch gear and Clutch lock tooth. The LD roller shaft rotates about 360 degree and the Change lever push the Clutch lever and the ASF motor drive is interrupted. This position is the ASF home position. Paper Return Plate (Pad holder) Unlike the previous products, The Paper return plate is built in the ASF frame instead of the Paper return lever. The Paper separation pad is also stacked on the plate. It works with the spring force of the Torsion spring 25.7 (mounted in the ASF frame) as following figure.

The Paper return plate is set to return the paper to the paper stand-by position in the ASF unit when the ASF unit is in the standby mode. When the paper is fed with the LD roller, the Paper return plate is stored in the ASF frame by the LD roller. Following figures show you the ASF paper loading sequence and the operation of the each mechanism.
Step 1
LD Roller LD Roller Shaft When the paper is advanced with the ASF unit, Change lever push down the Clutch lever as right figure and the Clutch lock tooth is disengaged from the Clutch gear. As the result, the drive from the ASF motor is interrupted and the LD roller dose not rotate. This position is the ASF home position. The Paper return plate is set to avoid that the paper is slipped down from the paper set position. Paper Return Plate Hopper

2.1.6.2 Capping Mechanism

The capping mechanism covers the printheads with the cap holder to prevent the nozzle from increasing viscosity when the printer is in stand-by mode or when the printer is off. This product has valveless cap system. Air valve function used for the previous models pumps and ejects ink only inside the cap by absorbing ink with the valve open. By opening the Air valve, the negative pressure is decreased and only the ink inside the cap is ejected. (the ink is not absorbed from Ink cartridge or head cavity.) But, valveless cap system, this operation is done out side of the capping area. The CR moves to left side of the Cap assembly and the pump absorbs the ink inside the cap.

AC voltage input from AC inlet first goes through filter circuit that removes high frequency components and is then converted to DC voltage via the rectifier circuit and the smoothing circuit. DC voltage is then lead to the switching circuit and FET Q1 preforms the switching operation. By the switching operation of the primary circuit, +42VDC is generated and stabilized at the secondary circuit. This +42VDC generated by the secondary circuit is converted to +5VDC, +3.3VDC by the chopping regulator IC of the secondary circuit.

Regardless of the state of the power switch (On or OFF), the voltage is always applied to the primary side of the power supply board from the moment or at the state that AC-plug is plugged in. At this time, F1 plays a role of preventing AC100V from coming into the F1. L1 also prevents high harmonic wave noise generated in the RC circuit filter which consists of C1 from going out, and eliminates the noise from outside here. The AC is full-wave rectified by the diode bridge DB1, and converted to AC in voltage by the smoothing electrolytic capacitor C11.

The pressured up direct current turns Q1 on through the starting resistor and starts the primary side of the circuit. When the primary side is On, the energy (current) led by the electromagnetic induction through the trans (T1) does not flow to the secondary side since the diode (D51) on the secondary side is installed in the opposite direction. When the energy which is charged in the trans is reaching the saturated state, the voltage which makes Q1 on becomes weak gradually. At the point that this voltage drops at the certain voltage, C13 absorbs the current in the opposite direction and Q1 is quickly shut off by the resulting sharp drop. When the primary side is turned off, the energy charged in the T1 is opened according to the diode (D51) direction which is installed on the secondary side. Basically, 42 V DC is output by these circuit operations and the number of T1 spiral coil. +5VDC and +3.3VDC are generated by pressured down this +42VDC as power supply. The 5V chopper circuit (IC51) and 3.3V chopper circuit (IC151) pressures down the +42VDC and generates precise +5VDC and +3.3VDC by chopping off the output, forming the standard sawtooth wave form by the outer RC integration circuit.

2.2.1.2 Protection circuit

The C408 PSE board has the various control circuits to stop voltage output if a malfunction occurs on the power supply board or the main board or while the printer mechanism is on duty. Following explains each control and protection circuit. +42VDC line constant voltage control circuit: The output of +42V line is monitored by the ZC-RCC converter detection circuit. This circuit prevents voltage drop so that the output voltage can be held at a constant level. +42V line over current protection circuit: The output voltage extremely drops when the +42V line becomes the over current condition. The ZC-RCC converter feeds back the occurrence of over voltage to the primary side via the same IC if it detects the voltage drop in the 42V line. The primary side stops switching and protects the printer electric circuit and mechanism. Reset is automatically performed. +42V line over voltage protection circuit: If the +42V line exceeds 58V, the ZC-RCC converter detects the over voltage and feeds back the occurrence of over voltage to the primary side via the same IC. The primary side stops switching and protects the printer electric circuit and mechanism. +5VDC, +3.3VDC line constant voltage/current control circuit: +The +5V and +3.3V line output currents and output voltage are monitored by the self-excited down chopper circuit (IC51, IC151). The monitor information is input to the internal comparator and stabilization circuit in IC. The self-excited down chopper circuit (IC51, IC151) stops the output if the over current is detected. +5V, +3.3V line over current protection circuit: The ZC-RCC converter feeds back the occurrence of over voltage to the primary side via the same IC when the +5V or +3.3V line becomes the over current condition. The primary side stops switching and protects the printer electric circuit and mechanism. It is possible to reset only by turning on the power again. +5V, +3.3V line over voltage protection circuit: If the +42V line exceeds 9V, the ZC-RCC converter detects the over voltage and feeds back the occurrence of over voltage to the primary side via the same IC. The primary side stops switching and protects the printer electric circuit and mechanism.
2.2.1.3 PS Control Function

This power supply circuit enables to supply the voltage to the 5V, 3.3V and 42V lines for about 30 seconds by using the secondary power supply even if the power is turned off with the power switch on the operation panel. This procedure ensures the following operation even if the printer's power switch is turned off while printing. When the CR unit is not at the home position while the printer is printing, the CR unit stops printing, then the power is shut down after returning to the home position and finishing the locking action. When the papers are stored in the printer mechanism in the condition supplied by the ASF even if the printer is not printing, the paper is ejected and then the power is shut down.
2.2.1.4 Power saving mode

The power supply circuit activates the power saving mode by the signal ESAVE from the control circuit. The +42V line repeats rise/fall in the power saving mode.

2.2.2.2 Printhead Driver Circuit

The printhead driver circuit consists of the following two components: Common driver IC (IC12:E09A14RA) directly attached to the C408 MAIN board. Nozzle selector IC on the head board. The common driver (IC12:E09A14RA) generates a reference drive waveform according to the output signals from the C408 MAIN board. The reference drive waveform is amplified by the transistors Q2 and Q3 and then transferred to the nozzle selector IC on the head board. Print data is converted to serial data by the CPU (IC2) and then sent to the nozzle selector IC on the head board. Based on the serial data, the nozzle selector IC determines the nozzles to be actuated. The selected nozzles are driven by the drive waveforms produced by the common driver. See Figure 2-20. "Printhead Driver Circuit" for the printhead driver circuit block diagram. Head common driver circuit The reference head drive waveform is produced in the common driver (IC12:E09A12RA) based on the following 12 signal lines output from the CPU (IC12); A0-A4, CLK1, CLK2, RST, FLOOR, DATA, DCLK, and E. By the DATA signal output from the CPU (IC9), the original data for the head drive waveform is written in the memory in the IC12. The addresses for the written data are determined by the A0 - A4 signals, and, of among, data used to determine the waveform angles is selected. Then, setting the selected data, producing trapezoid waveform value, and canceling the data are performed by the rising edges of the CLK1 and CLK2 signals. Head nozzle selector circuit Printing data is converted into serial data by the CPU (IC2). Then the converted data is allocated to the six rows, the number of the head nozzle rows, to be transferred to the nozzle selector through the six signal lines (HS01 to HS06). Data transmission from the CPU (IC2) to the nozzle selector synchronizes with the LAT signal and SCK clock signal. Referring to the transferred data, nozzles to be activated are selected, and the PZTs of the selected nozzles are driven by the drive waveform output from the head common driver.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
Revision A
4.1 Overview
This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of the product. Unless otherwise specified, disassembly units or components can be reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure. Things, if not strictly observed, that could result in injury or loss of life are described under the heading Warning. Precautions for any disassembly or assembly procedures are described under the heading CAUTION. Chips for disassembling procedures are described under the heading CHECK POINT. If the assembling procedure is different from the reversed procedure of the disassembling, the procedure is described under the heading REASSEMBLY. Any adjustments required after disassembling the units are described under the heading ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED. When you have to remove any units or parts that are not described in this chapter, refer to the exploded diagrams in the appendix. Read precautions described in the next section before starting.
4.1.1 Precautions
See the precautions given under the handling WARNING and CAUTION in the following column when disassembling or assembling the product. Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling W A R N IN G the printer.
If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual.
Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink gets in your eye, flush the eye with fresh water and see a doctor immediately. Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid iujury from sharp metal edges. To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components. Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately. If irritation occurs, contact a physician. When a lithium battery is installed on the main board of this printer, make sure to observe the following instructions when serving the battery: 1.Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that electrodes of the opposite polarity do not come in contact with each other. 2.Do not heat the battery or put it near fire. 3.Do not solder on any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in leakage of electrolyte from the battery, burning or explosion. The leakage may affect other devices close to the battery.) 4.Do not charge the battery. (An explosion may be generated inside the battery, and cause burning or explosion.) 5.Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat. Leakage, burning or explosion may also be resulted.) 6.Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause burning or explosion.) Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacture. Dispose the used batteries according to governments law and regulations.

W A R N IN G
When working on the FUSER ASSY or nearby parts, be sure to wait until the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level. Wait at least 40 minutes before you start working on the printer.
Never remove the ink cartridge from the carriage unless this manual specifies to do so. When transporting the printer after installing the ink cartridge, be sure to pack the printer for transportation without removing the ink cartridge. Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling or adjusting the printer. Observe the specified torque when tightening screws. Apply lubricants and adhesives as specified. (See Chapter 6 for details.) Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer. (See Chapter 5 for details.) When assembling, if an ink cartridge is removed and needs to be installed again, be sure to install a new ink cartridge because of the following reasons; 1.Once the ink cartridge mounted on the printer is removed, air comes in and creates bubbles in the cartridge. These bubbles clog ink path and cause printing malfunction. 2.If an ink cartridge in use is removed and is reinstalled, ink quantity will not be detected correctly since the counter to check ink consumption is cleared. Because of the reasons above, make sure to return the printer to the user with a new ink cartridge installed. Make sure the tip of the waste ink tube is located at correct position when reassembling the waste ink tube. Otherwise it will cause ink leakage.

5.3.6 USB ID
The Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX is equipped with a USB interface as a standard procedure. As the USB port driver controls devices that possess USB IDs on the Windows 98 and iMac platforms, the product has been defined with a unique USB ID. As the USB ID is stored in the EEPROM on the main circuit board, it is necessary to enter the USB ID once again when the main circuit board has been replaced. The USB ID consists of an 18-digit unique alphanumerical character string and is stored in a special address on the EEPROM. The method of assigning USB ID numbers prior to shipment from the factory is explained below. Production process line number (3 digits) PC number (2 digits) Year, month, date (12 digits) - The personal computer's time data is used for this 0 (1 digit) A new USB ID is created during the repair process by adding an 8-digit serial number automatically generated by the adjustment program to the end of the existing 10-digit product serial number. This new USB ID is then entered into the control circuit board's EEPROM.

This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.
6.1.1 Cleaning
This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the printhead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable
C A U T IO N
Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and acetone to clean the exterior parts of printer like the housing. These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the components of the printer. Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside the printer. Do not scratch the surface (coated part) of PF roller assembly. Use soft brush to wipe off any dusts. Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the ink stain. Do not use cleaning sheet included in the media for normal usage. It may damage the coated surface of PF roller. If the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet is set to the ASF LD roller side and used to clean the ASF LD roller surface, it is no problem.

After the Replacement: Reset the Overflow Counter (Protection Counter A): Power on printer with Error reset SW and Ink Cartridge exchange SW are pushed, and push Ink Cartridge exchange SW within error indicator is blinking (3 seconds). Refer to section 1.6.3 "Panel Functions" Panel Function for details. Lubrication The characteristics of the grease have great affects on the mechanical function and durability, especially does the characteristics about temperature environment. The type and amount of grease used to lubricate the printer parts are determined based on the results of internal evaluations. Therefore, be sure to apply the specified type and amount of grease to the specified part of the printer mechanism during servicing

6.1.2 Service Maintenance

If print irregularity (missing dot, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer indicates Maintenance Error, take the following actions to clear the error. Head Cleaning: The printer has a built-in head cleaning function, which is activated by operating the control panel. Confirm that the printer is in stand-by state (the processing LED on the monochrome PNL is not blinking), and hold down the Error Reset SW on the control panel for more than 3 seconds. The printer starts the cleaning sequence (the processing LED on the monochrome PNL blinks during the cleaning sequence). Maintenance Error Clear: Ink is used for the operations such as cleaning as well as printing. Therefore, the printer wastes certain amount of ink and drains it into waste ink pad, while counting the amount of the waste ink. Once the amount of the waste ink reaches the predetermined limit, the printer indicates Maintenance Error and the waste ink pad should be replaced. Overflow Counter Limit: Overflow Counter (Protection Counter A) >=32915 Timing for Replacing the Waste Ink Pad: When the total amount of the waste ink reaches the predetermined limit, the LED indicates Maintenance Error. (Refer to section 1.6.4 "Printer Condition and Panel Status") Also, during repair servicing, check the ink counter along with the firmware version, ink counter, select code page, nozzle check pattern on the status printing sheet. If the ink counter value is close to its limit, notify your customer and recommend that the waste ink pad be replaced (If the waste ink pad is not replaced at that time, there is a possibility that Maintenance Error will occur soon after the printer is returned to the customer). Once you have the confirmation of the customer, replace the waste ink pad. Replacement Procedure: Refer to section 4.2.6 "Waste drain ink pad unit removal"
Never use oil or grease other than those specified in this manual. Use of different types of oil or grease may damage the component or give bad influence on the printer function. Never apply larger amount of grease than specified in this manual.
