(ENGINE SECTION AND USB CONTROLLER SECTION)
This section describes troubleshooting for the engine section and USB controller section of the
printer.
Error messages are rarely displayed for poor print quality. In other cases when an error occurs
in the printer, the ERROR lamp lights up, and the relevant error message appears on the LCD.
Poor print quality is checked mainly by printing a nozzle check pattern. When an error message
appears, check the possible causes and the location according to the error message and then
take appropriate measures. If no error message appears, find the possible causes and the
location from the symptom and take appropriate measures.
In most cases of poor print quality, no error message is displayed on the LCD.
When the poor print quality is caused by a head problem, it can usually be detected with the
test pattern (in user mode) or the nozzle check (in maintenance mode).
The criteria below are used to judge the poor print quality caused by a head error during the
printer installation or operation.
1) The check pattern shall be within the range of error mode which can be verified by the
nozzle check pattern.
2) Find the cause by grouping electric system errors and ink system errors.
(a) No output from all heads ················· EL system
(b) No output from one head
Change the cable connection from the defective head to another and output the
pattern.

Notes
When EEPROM error occurs, the process below is executed.
1) When the current parameters (system parameters) saved in the flash ROM are normal
-> Rewrites all areas from the flash ROM to EEPROM.
Informs a POC error when the printer is started.
The printer starts normally after restart.
Causes a POC error again if the EEPROM is faulty.
2) When the current parameters saved in the flash ROM are also broken
-> Displays a POC error
However, the parameters cannot be initialized unless the operator enters the password
for customer engineer. Initialize the printer to the ROM default values.
* Saving parameters
Parameters stored in the EEPROM are saved in the flash ROM in two ways.
1) Factory setting
2) Current setting (system parameters)

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
This section describes the operation mechanisms of the media feeding system, carriage
system and the ink system as well as the operations of electrical control system, engine
controller firmware, and blower unit.
The media roll set in this system is fed by the grit roller and passes through the platen in
direction X. Inks of various colors are injected from the piezo-type head which passes through
the platen block in direction Y and the printing is performed. On the platen, a suction fan sucks
the media to keep an appropriate distance between the media and the head.
The heads are mounted on the carriage and are operated by the carriage motor via the steel
belt to move back and forth horizontally to the printer.
The position of the heads is detected using a linear scale, linear encoder and home position sensor.
To prevent damages by staining of the head surfaces, drying by leaving the heads not used for
a long period, etc., a service station is equipped.
The service station cleans the head surface with a wiper and protects the head surface by
aspiration and capping using the capping unit. Cleaning operation is executed when a certain
length has been printed.
In addition, capping is executed automatically by the capping unit when printing is completed.
The ink that is fed to the head is supplied directly from the ink cartridge via a tube.
The printer is equipped with a preheater for media pre-heating on the paper feeding side, a
print heater for ink penetration and fixing below the platen, and a after heater for drying on the
media output side.
The media feed unit and media output unit are mounted with a media feeding sensor and the
media output sensor respectively for media jam detection, etc.

2) Driving block
The driving block comprises a X motor (media feeding motor), grit roller, pressure roller and
lever. The media feeding motor is a stepping motor for feeding the media, which is controlled
by the engine controller firmware. When this motor is operated, the grid roller rotates and feeds
the media that is gripped by the pressure roller. The pressure roller is set to grip or cancel by
the lever.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
Always use the firmware version 2.50 or higher with the take-up reel unit with rear sensor. Also,
do not forget to make setting for TUR UNIT in the SETUP menu matching the type of take-up
reel unit used.
Compared to the type without rear sensor (previous model), the slack rolling (outward take-up)
operation is more stable when using the take-up reel unit with rear sensor.
However, since the rear sensor plate is installed on the stand beam, the flange movable range
on the sliding side is limited. Consequently, paper tube of 750 mm or more must be used with
media of 750 mm or less than in width (e.g. 36-inch tube with 24-inch media). (See the figure
below.)
8-18
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
The take-up reel unit comprises a fixed side unit, a sliding side unit, and a slack sensor.
The media is fixed to the scroller tube with tape. With the type without rear sensor, the media is
set so that it passes over the sensor in the right side part of the take-up unit. With the type with
rear sensor, the media is set so that a slack forms between the rear sensor and the front sensor.
These sensors are called slack sensors. When the light path of the sensors is cut off by the
media, the engine controller firmware recognizes that there is a slack in the media, and the unit
takes up a certain amount of media.
(3) ON/OFF
The take-up reel unit is turned OFF by setting the inward/outward take-up
direction switch lever to the center.
8-19
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
1) Carriage motor
It is a stepping motor installed within the left cover of the printer. This motor, used for
moving the carriage back and forth horizontally, supports speed control from the minimum
to the maximum speed.
The motor position is detected by a linear encoder installed on the main unit Y-rail (ink
discharge timing is controlled by the linear encoder signals).
2) Carriage
The carriage is the printing unit installed to the Y-rail of the main unit via the bearings and
is operated by the carriage motor via the steel belt. This unit is equipped with a carriage
board, six heads, an edge sensor, a linear encoder, and a head cooling fan.
3) Carriage board
It is the board mounted on the carriage, and it executes the following functions:
- Assigns the print data transmitted from the engine control board to each
head.
- Performs output of the thermistor installed on the carriage (head
temperature) and edge detection of the media, and at the same time,
outputs the signal of the liner encoder to the engine control board.
- Controls the head discharge timing based on the linear encoder signals.
4) Edge sensor
Installed on the side of the carriage, it detects the existence of media on the platen and the
media edges on both sides. The CPU of the engine control board controls the overall
printing by using data as the media standard for print start position, detection of skew, etc.
The signal from the edge sensor is transmitted from the carriage board to the engine
control board and detected by CPU.

firmware as shown in figures 8.4 and 8.5.
8-22
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
1) Head
The heads used in this printer are driven by electrostriction transducer, and the ink is
sprayed by applying signal voltage pulse on the piezo elements to distort these elements
and change the volume of the ink pressure room.
This product uses a 254-nozzle head per color with 6 colors (6 heads) aligned, which
addresses high-speed printing.
- Drive frequency
Drive frequency is 18.5kHz per nozzle for standard mode.
- Temperature control
Drive voltage is controlled depending on the temperature since the ink viscosity
changes with the temperature.
- Air damper
To prevent head meniscus damage by movement of the ink inside the ink tube due to
carriage acceleration, a damper is provided to mitigate the pressure fluctuations.
- Head heater
The heaters mounted on the heads put the heads to the specified temperature during
printing. They are controlled by the engine firmware that uses temperature data
detected by the head thermistor.
2) Ink cartridge
Ink is filled in a laminated film pack. The ink capacity is 500mL for each color, and the pack
is set into the plastic cartridge (case). A board with an IC chip is mounted at the surface
near the edge of the cartridge. Various IDs are stored in the memory of this chip during
production, and various Logs are stored from the printer while in use.
- Memory ID : Ink type ID (color)
- Date of manufacture
- Printer record LOG : Ink consumption
3) Cartridge BOX
It is the slot for installing the ink cartridge, and Y, M, C, K, Lm and Lc are equipped from
the left when seen from the back of the product. The cartridge BOX includes mis-insertion
prevention mechanism, ink pin and ink relay board.
- Ink pin
By inserting the pin into the spout of the ink cartridge pack, the ink is supplied to the
ink tube.
8-23
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
5) Capping unit
- Structure
The capping unit is located on the right side of the printer. The operating block of the
capping unit comprises one pump motor, one cam driven pulse motor for determining
the capping status and a switch for detecting the reference for the cam position. The
pump motor rotates the pump in normal rotation (aspiration) and rotates the wiper in
reverse rotation. Each operation is regulated by a one-way clutch so that the other
operation cannot be executed. Furthermore, the three capping statuses of cap open,
air release and cap close are determined by the cam operation, and the cap open
position is detected by the switch so that it is used as the origin for cam position. The
three statuses of the capping unit are switched by the operation angle of the pulse
motor that drives the cam with reference to the origin.
- Function
When the carriage is at its home position, it interlocks with the pump motor to perform
capping and aspirate the ink. It also protects the head surface by capping at the
carriage home position. A porous sheet is attached inside the cap rubber and this
sheet prevents ink bubbling inside the cap when ink is aspired so that the ink inside
the cap is aspired clearly during suction.
- Ink pump
The ink pump adopts the rotary tube pump mechanism in which the tube is squeezed
in a rotary style. The ink pump squeeze the tube and aspirates the ink by rotating the
cam roller via the pump motor that also operates the pump. The pump tube is
continuously squeezed by the cam roller and there is no back run of the ink. The
waste ink that was aspired in the pump block is ejected into the waste ink bottle.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
6) Wiping unit
- Structure
The wiping unit is located on the right side of the printer. The wiper blade is attached
to a holder on a chain. The wiping unit rotates the chain with the wiper blade and
wipes the head surface with the edge of the blade. Wiper rotation is executed by
transmitting the rotation of the pump motor (DC motor) inside the capping unit. The
direction of motor rotation is in reverse rotation to the pump driving.
- Function
The wiper blade cleans the head surface and prevents bending of ink jet. The sponge
cleans the wiper blade that cleaned the head surface. The wiper blade is rotated by
motor operation.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
1) Cleaning sequence
The following cleaning sequences are included in this printer for optimal printing. Cleaning
is mainly executed by the capping unit, wiping unit, and ink system control firmware.
Flushing is executed by the head unit and control firmware.
- Automatic cleaning
This sequence is automatically performed when printing.
8-26
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
- Temperature control
Ink viscosity increases as the temperature becomes lower, and decreases as the
temperature becomes higher. The energy for ink discharge must be increased when
viscosity increases, and conversely, the energy can be smaller as the viscosity
decreases. To control this discharge energy, the voltage is changed. The control
method is digital control. The temperature of the PZT element in the head is detected
by the thermistor, and head is operated with the specified drive voltage for the
detected temperature with control of the engine controller firmware. The parameters
for this temperature control have been provided in a table, and values in the table are
corrected for each head voltage rank.
4) Bidirectional adjustment
A function in the control firmware to correct the dot spotting position in the main scanning
direction. In bidirectional printing, the dot spotting position is matched for the forward and
backward directions for each head. Adjustment is performed by using the dot spotting
position of the forward direction as reference and delaying (or advancing) the ink
discharge timing for backward direction.

SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
9) Feeding adjustment
A function to adjust the media feeding length by the control firmware. It corrects the
difference in feeding length due to media characteristics (such as thickness), printing
mode, switching of the pressure of pressure roller, availability of the take-up reel unit and
sequence 1 or 2 of feeding mode to reduce banding (joint of passes).

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
1) Head structure
The ink driving section in the head consists of three parts, i.e., the cover plate (see figure A
below), actuator with pectinate grooves on PZT (see figure B below), and nozzle plate
(see figure C below).
Nozzle holes are in every two grooves of the nozzle plate, and ink is supplied only to
grooves with nozzle holes.
Two actuators having the configuration mentioned above are attached together so that
cover plates can be positioned outside.
8-30
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism
Principle of operation
Electrodes are attached to both sides of the walls in the PZT groove. The electric potential
of electrodes on both sides of the groove with a nozzle is 0 V. On the other side,
electrodes on the opposite side of the walls are connected in order for the voltage to be
applied to eject the ink.
When the voltage is applied to the electrodes of nozzles from which you want ink to be
ejected, the walls are distorted outward and the cubic capacity of the actuator is increased.
When the voltage returns to 0 V, the distortion of the walls is recovered, as is the cubic
capacity of the actuator. Ink is ejected due to this change in the cubic capacity of the
actuator.
2) Driving waveforms
At tickling operaion, the waveform’s time width is shorter than at ejection operation.

● Ink box
The ink box is provided with slots to receive ink cartridges of all colors, and each slot
is equipped with a board (B1 board) which connects to the board on the ink cartridge
(C1 board) and enables communication with the ink chip on the cartridge.
● Ink cartridge
Ink is supplied to the head from the ink cartridge and there is no intermediate
sub-tank. The ink consumption from the ink cartridge is estimated from the ink
discharge count, and near-end is displayed when a certain volume has been
exceeded. The fact that the mark indicating low remaining ink level in the ink cartridge
is detected by a sensor, and the end is determined by certain ink discharge count
from this point. The ink cartridge mounts an IC chip with built-in nonvolatile memory
for recording the remaining ink level.
This memory records the ink ID, date of manufacture, etc. besides the remaining ink
level, and it is used for ink quality control. Communication with the nonvolatile
memory is implemented by the firmware via FPGA (RSM) on the engine controller
board.

● Band memory
This memory is physically separated from the previously described memories (CPU
system + work RAM), and it is the memory area for band image that temporarily
stores the image data transmitted from a higher device. It is capable of directly writing
the image from CPU, and the test pattern is generated as such. In addition, image is
written directly into the band memory from the upper stream USB interface without
going through the CPU.
Image data transmission from the computer to the print engine is performed in the
line-sequential method.
The band is called "band" because it maintains the data necessary for 1 scan for
starting 1 scan.
However, the image data sequence stored internally varies by the printing mode (high
speed, normal).
