Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how-
ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be com-
municated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.2 Features
1.2.1 Features
0019-6540
-Rear loading of roll media, making for compact, lightweight device geometry.
-Borderless four-side printing support (roll media) removes laborious cutting work, easing the job of creating posters to a significant degree.
-High resolutions of 2400 x 1200 dpi maximum, coupled with the exceptionally light-fast, water-proof and ozone-proof five-color pigment inks of Y, M, C, BK
and MBK, deliver high-quality photographic picture quality.
-High-speed printing under bidirectional print control.
-Ink supply through tubing to a completely independent printhead and large-capacity ink tanks.
-Ready for roll media and cut media.
-Roll media pass in widths between 254 and 914.4 mm and in lengths up to 18 m.
-The cutter unit that mounts on the carriage allows paper to be cut automatically.
-Cut media are fed and ejected and ink tanks replaced all in an easy-to-access front panel operation.
-USB2.0 high-speed interface and 10Base-T/100Base-TX in standard support of a TCP/IP network, plus optional support of IEEE1394.
Functional enhancements new to this model include:
- Hard disk drive mounted for greater ease of job management and for driving on night time.
1.2.2 Printhead
0013-2741
The printhead that mounts on the carriage is an integrated six-color disposable printhead.
It has 5,120 nozzles for MBK and 2,560 nozzles for each additional color arranged in a zigzag pattern.
If print quality remains unimproved even after a specified cleaning operation, replace the printhead. Replacement about one year after the date of initial unpacking
is also recommended.
F-1-2
1.2.3 Ink Tank
0013-0607
Ink tanks are disposable.
An ink tank should be replaced when an ink tank replacement prompt message appears or when six months expire after the date of initial unpacking, whichever
occurs earlier.
To install ink tanks, open the right cover of the printer. Ink tanks are furnished with a notch for preventing incorrect installation, which will allow the tanks to be
installed at the position marked in the right color and nowhere else.
Ink tanks are available in the four dye ink colors of black, cyan, magenta and yellow and the pigment ink color of mat black.

1.2.4 Cutter unit
0013-5146
The cutter unit that mounts on the carriage is disposable.
Replace the cutter unit when it gets dull.
F-1-4
1.2.5 Roll Holder
0017-4103
The printer comes with a roll holder for 2-inch paper tube and 3-inch paper tube attachment.
The roll holder clamps the paper tubes of roll media with an outside diameter of 150 mm or less from inside.

1.2.6 Stand
0016-4115
It is a stand that puts the printer. Equipped with casters so that the printer can be easily moved. The output stacker included with stand can use by the two ways of
the regular position or extended position.
F-1-6
MEMO:
- Use the output stacker in the regular position [A]. However, for the specified media, it can also be used in the extended position [B]. The media can be removed
more easily when the output stacker is in the extended position.
- The output stacker can accommodate one sheet. Remove each sheet before printing if you are printing a series of documents.
F-1-7
1.2.7 Hard disk drive
0017-8472
Each print job received from the host computer is saved to the 80GB hard disk drive(serial ATA connection) attached to the printer, so the printer can print the job
repeatedly as needed, without having to wait for its retransmission from the host computer.
Saving print jobs will offer the following benefits:
- Eased computer workload
A print job may be automatically preserved to the hard disk when printing or may be preserved to the hard disk without printing. A print job preserved can be
printed in as many copies as needed without having to use the host computer.
- Reprinting after error occurrence
If the printer encounters errors, such as paper out, while printing a print job, it can resume the print operation as soon as the errors are cleared, without needing its
retransmission from the host computer.
- Higher print work efficiency
Print jobs can be printed selectively or in a specified number of copies without using a host computer. Multiple print jobs can be printed batched. Unattended print
operations in the nighttime are also possible.
1.2.8 IEEE1394 (FireWire) Board
0016-8123
IEEE1394 (FireWire) expansion board (option)
An interface board that provides an additional IEEE1394 (FireWire) port.
