Symbol Description

Indicates an item of a non-specific nature, possibly classified as Note, Caution, or Warning.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid electric shocks.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid combustion (fire).

Indicates an item prohibiting disassembly to avoid electric shocks or problems.

Indicates an item requiring disconnection of the power plug from the electric outlet.

Memo

REF.

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

0020-5397

iPF820

- Media pass in widths up to 44 inches (1117.6 mm).

- Large ink tanks save the need for their replacement.

- Uninterrupted printing from subtanks.

- BK and MBK inks are loaded concurrently to eliminate the need for their replacement.

- Durability will be added by maintenance kit.

- Large LCD panel displays more information and makes operations easier.

- High resolutions of 2400 x 1200 dpi maximum, coupled with the exceptionally light-fast, water-proof and ozone-proof five-color inks of Y, M, C, BK and MBK,

deliver high-quality photographic picture quality.

- USB2.0 Hi-speed interface and 10Base-T/100Base-TX in standard support of a TCP/IP network, plus optional support of IEEE1394.

- Barcodes printed on roll media make remaining roll media management possible.

- Borderless four-side printing support (roll media) removes laborious cutting work, easing the job of creating posters to a significant degree.

- High-speed printing with a 1-inch head for each color (1,280 nozzles), under bidirectional print control.

- Ink supply through tubing to a completely independent printhead and large-capacity ink tanks.

- Hard disk drive mounted for greater ease of job management and for driving on night time.

Functional enhancements new to this model include:

- Enhanced productivity

The product allows two roll medias to be loaded simultaneously, making it possible to mix different sizes or types of paper in a single print job or use two roll

medias of the same paper size to fulfill bulk print needs.

- Enhanced ease of operation
