2.2 Procedure to Replace Printer's Ink between EG-Outdoor GX


and EG-Outdoor IX

2.2.1 Changing between GX ink and IX ink


The following describes the procedure to replace your Printer's ink from:
- EG-Outdoor EX to EG-Outdoor IX; and
- EG-Outdoor IX to EG-Outdoor GX
In this section, the ink cartridges already installed that will be replaced are called current ink
cartridges, and the ink cartridges installed after replacement are called new ink cartridges.

Notes
- The replacement procedure takes 60 - 90 minutes.
- Do not suspend the procedure before the all procedure is completed.
- Before the procedure, install a media to the Printer.
- To check your Printer's status, print a nozzle check pattern before the replacement
procedure. The pattern enables you to compare the Printer's status after the ink
replacement with the previous one.
- Before starting ink replacement, lay the waste cloth on the floor so that you can put the
smeared wiper sponge on it.

Items required for ink replacement

Before the replacement, confirm that the items below were all prepared.
(1) Six new ink cartridges (one for each color)
(2) One wiper sponge
(3) One wiper cleaning liquid set exclusively supplied for the new ink
(4) One cleaning roller
(5) Two disposal gloves (to prevent ink smearing)
(6) One waste ink bottle exclusively supplied for the new ink
(7) Waste cloth

The items above are required to prime the ink system twice. First a new ink is charged
and removed so that the previous ink is eliminated completely. Then the new ink is
charged again.This operation stabilizes the new ink's print performance.

SECTION 5 Troubleshooting (Engine Section and USB Controller Section)

SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING
(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.

5.1 Poor Print Quality

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.
- When the symptom still remains ...Ink system or head
- When the symptom shifts to another head ...EL system

3) Finding cause when an error is due to the ink system


(a) When the ink cannot be filled:
Possible causes of no ink filling are shown below.
- Stained cap·························· Clean the cap using the cap cleaning liquid.
- Capping position not aligned ··· Align the cap position. (See 7.5)
- Poor suction of capping ·········· Replace the cap unit or faulty parts.(PUMP
ASSY, VALVE-ASSY,HOLDER(VALVE), CAP
ASSY)
- Air leakage from capping tube Tighten the joint.
- Cam phase not aligned ·········· Adjust the cam home position. Replace the
SWITCH (CAP)-ASSY.

5-1
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 5 Troubleshooting (Engine Section and USB Controller Section)

- Ink supply tube bending ·········· Extend the tube bending.


- Stained head nozzle surface .......Charge the wiper cleaning liquid.

(b) When air remains in the ink tube:


Small amount of air in the ink tube does not affect printing. However, large
amount of air may cause improper ink discharging.
- Insufficient cap suction ............ Replace the cap unit or faulty parts.
(PUMP ASSY, VALVE-ASSY,
HOLDER(VALVE), CAP ASSY)
- Air leakage from tube .............. Tighten the joint.
- Air leakage from head .............. Replace the head.

4) Measures when an error is due to the head:


When poor discharge is due to the head, perform the measures below. If the error still
remains, replace the head.
(a) Cleaning
- This cleaning is performed in the user mode. This serves to remove air and dust
in the head unit, and to form meniscus normally. Normal cleaning can rectify
most of such errors.
- See the user's guide for procedures.

(b) Fill cap


- This function is available by executing fill cap in the user mode. This serves to fill
the cap with ink, to supply ink to the head (nozzle surface), and to remove nozzle
clogging by leaving the printer for a while. This is used when print defects occur
in spite of repeated cleaning.
Leave the printer in fill cap condition for one to two hours. If the print defects still
remain after being left for 24 hours, perform a smart nozzle mapping (nozzle
map). If the problem still cannot be resolved, contact our service center.

(c) Ink removal


- If the printer cannot restore normal operation even after the measures (1) and (2)
are taken, the air entered the head cannot be bled in some cases. In such a case,
it is recommended to leave the printer for 1 to 2 hours or to remove and recharge
the ink. (The waste ink bottle must be empty when removing the ink.)
- See 3.4.2 for details.
- Do not operate the printer for one hour after ink charging.

(d) Cleaning with cleaning liquid cartridge.


- Depending on transport conditions or long-time leaving, the error may not be
cleared only by ink removal. In such a case, use the Cleaning Liquid Cartridge
supplied as cleaning ink to clean the ink tube, air damper filter, filter in the head,
and nozzles. (Use an empty waste ink bottle also for this cleaning.)
- See the Section 4 Periodic maintenance in the User's Guide for procedures.

5-2
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 5 Troubleshooting (Engine Section and USB Controller Section)

5) When an error is due to head friction or media jam:


- When media jam or head rubbing occurs frequently during printing, the nozzle
plate of the head may be damaged. This may deflect print even if it does not lead
to clogged nozzles, which may deteriorate print quality.
- Check the head height as a preventive measure.
Furthermore, review the operation, use optimum media, set media correctly, and
prepare proper operating environment.
- Run trial operation to prevent rubbing when starting printing.
- Review the heater temperature to prevent rubbing during printing.
- If the problem is not resolved by any means, replace the head itself.

6) When nozzles of a head frequently clog during printing:


- Check that the head voltage is set correctly according to the recommended
voltage indicated on the head.

7) Ink adhesion
- When ink adheres to the carriage cable or head cable, wipe it off immediately.
- Replace a damaged part, if any, with a new one.

To mount a new EEPROM on the current engine board, perform the following steps.
(a) Mount a new EEPROM on the current engine board.
- If necessary, rewrite the engine firmware program.
(b) Turn the printer on.
- The printer starts up with an EEPROM error (1109) because the EEPROM is
not initialized.
- The EEPROM data is restored from the system backup data on the board
during the firmware recovery process.
(c) Turn the printer off and then on again.
- If EEPROM error 1109 still remains, the backup data is broken. Start the printer
with the POC skip mode (CANCEL + power on) and perform RESTORE
CALIBS of the SETUP menu.
(d) Restart the printer.

(3) When replacing EEPROM and engine board (EEPROM and engine board are faulty)
When the EEPROM and engine board are replaced at the same time, print distance and
other counter data, and mechanism adjustment parameters are lost. To avoid this, perform

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

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.

8.1 Overview of System Operation Mechanism

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.

8.2 Media Feeding System

The media feeding system comprises the following units from 1) to 6) as shown in figures 8.2
and 8.3.

Figure 8.2 Feeding system mechanism (X axis)

<Feeding system mechanism Y axis> (main scanning)

Figure 8.3 Feeding system mechanism (Y axis)

8-16
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

1) Media feed unit


The media feed unit can perform 2-way feeding of media roll and cut media. The media feed
unit can be operated from the rear side.
- When using cut media, remove the media roll and set the cut media by aligning it
to the guideline of the rear paper guide.
- The pressure roller up/down lever is a mechanism for canceling the pressure
roller grip when setting the media roll or cut media. The lever sensor is a photo
sensor installed near the pressure roller up/down lever on the right side frame,
and it detects opening/closing of the lever. When grip is cancelled, media cannot
be fed. Thus machine operation is stopped when grip cancellation is detected. In
addition, as the media may has been reset when grip is detected again, it is also
used as a signal for executing media detection sequence.
- Specification of media supply to media roll or cut media is executed from the
operation panel. Specification of media type is also executed on the operation
panel.
- The media feeding sensor is a reflection-type photo sensor installed in the media
feed unit that lets the engine controller firmware recognizes the media status via
detecting the media existence by reflection on the media back surface.

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.

3) Platen, suction fan


When the media is fed to the platen, air is sucked through the holes on the platen to stick the
media onto the platen and prevent it from floating and coming in contact with the print heads.
Four suction fans are installed. These four fans can be operated independently to match the
media width. Sucked air is released from the lower part of the front paper guide.

4) Paper guide, media output sensor


The paper guide is the guiding plate with a curb used for media output to prevent folding of the
media printed in the platen unit. The media output sensor is a reflection-type photo sensor
installed in the media outlet that lets the engine controller firmware recognizes the media status
via detecting the media existence by reflection on the media back surface.

8-17
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

5) Cover SW, Interlock SW


These four switches installed on the front cover are the cover switches and interlock switches
for detecting the cover open/close status. A set of one cover switch and one interlock switch is
provided on each end of the cover. When the cover is opened, the engine controller firmware
detects that the cover switch is OFF and executes error processing while turning OFF the
interlock switch to forcibly turn OFF the P36LEC power supply generated on the LEECV board,
and +24V power supply. Thus the carriage and other driving parts are forced to stop.

6) Take-up reel unit


There are the two following types of take-up reel unit.
Type without rear sensor Type with rear sensor

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.

(1) Supports tension rolling


In addition to slack rolling mode, this unit also support tension rolling mode in
which the media is taken up under certain tension. To switch the rolling mode,
the operation mode needs to be switched from the operation panel.

(2) Supports both take-up directions


Both inward and outward take-up directions are supported. The take-up
direction can be selected regardless of the take-up mode. The take-up
direction is changed using the switch installed on the take-up unit.

(3) ON/OFF
The take-up reel unit is turned OFF by setting the inward/outward take-up
direction switch lever to the center.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

8.3 Carriage System

The carriage system comprises the following units from 1) to 6):

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.

5) Home position sensor


It is the photo sensor installed at the Y-rail home position of the product. The engine
controller cannot recognize the carriage position immediately after turning ON the power
supply, so the carriage is first moved to the position where the home position sensor turns
ON (home position), detected as the initial position of the carriage.

8-20
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

6) T-fence (linear scale), linear encoder


It is the sensor (photo interrupter) attached on the top of the carriage. Since the absolute
position of the carriage must always be recognized for printing, T-fence (linear scale)
covers the range of carriage movement. It is the linear encoder sensor that reads this
linear scale and generates a 2-phase clock with different phases. The engine controller
firmware always recognizes the absolute position of the carriage by counting the pulse
from this sensor. In addition, the signals detected by the linear encoder are also used for
checking the position of the carriage motor. Ink is discharged from the head nozzles to
match the output signals from this sensor as well.

8.4 Ink System

The ink system comprises the ink cartridge, cartridge BOX, ink supply pump, ink supply tube,
capping unit, wiping unit, carriage board, engine control board and the ink system control
firmware as shown in figures 8.4 and 8.5.

Figure 8.4 Overview of ink system structure

Figure 8.5 Conceptual diagram of ink system

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.

- Ink relay board (PCB-ASSY-B1)


A relay board for reading/writing the memory in the ink cartridge.

8-23
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

4) Ink supply tube


The ink from the ink cartridge set into this printer is supplied to the head unit from the ink
tube via the ink pin and filter. The 20 μ filter installed immediately after the ink pin traps the
rubber slug that is generated when the ink passes through the rubber tube at the ink pack
spout in the ink cartridge. When ink cartridges are set, ink from each ink cartridge is sent
to each head by the ink filling operation.

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.

- Air release valve


The air release valve is opened/closed by the cam operation in a similar fashion to
the cam for determining the capping status. The rubber that faces the air release
valve opens/closes the end orifice of the tube that is connected to the cap rubber. The
air release valve has a spring that prevents air release and maintains sealing against
the outer air by its pressure. When ink is aspired in ink aspiration operation and the
pressure is mitigated, the cap rubber is filled with ink. Meniscus is formed at the head
nozzle by removing (aspiring) this ink. Conversely, if this operation is not performed,
meniscus is damaged by opening the cap which is filled with ink. The ink and air
inside the cap are aspired together by executing aspiration (suction) with the air
release valve open to remove the ink inside cap and form meniscus.

8-24
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
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.

7) Waste ink bottle


The waste ink bottle is a HDPE (high density polyethylene) bottle for collecting the waste
ink aspired by the pump, and its maximum capacity is approximately 1.0L.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

2) Head drive voltage control


- Setting of the head drive voltage rank
The drive voltage for the head is set for each color to maintain the specified density
and for stability of ink discharge. Since the drive voltage varies depending on
manufacturing conditions of the head (lot, material properties, processing), the
voltage is labeled on each head during production.
When the head is attached to the printer, values are input for this voltage and stored
in the EEPROM on the LEECV board of the printer.

- 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.

3) Head position adjustment


A function in the control firmware to adjust the dot spotting position in the main scanning
direction.
It corrects the shift in dot spotting position between the six color heads caused by
fluctuation in main head attachment position and ink discharge speed. Correction is
executed by using the dot spotting position for color K head as the reference and delaying
(or advancing) the ink discharge timing for heads of other colors.

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.

5) Nozzle position adjustment


A function in the control firmware to correct the dot spotting position in the subscanning
direction. It corrects the shift in dot spotting position between the six color heads caused
by fluctuation in main head attachment position and head size. Correction is performed by
changing the nozzle to be used in printing.

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

6) Print head R/L adjustment


A function in the control firmware to correct the dot spotting position in the main scanning
direction. The dot spotting position is matched for the R line and the L line for each head.
Correction is performed by using the dot spotting position of the R line as reference and
adjusting the ink discharge timing for the L line.

7) Sensor (side) position adjustment


A function in the control firmware to correct the print start position in the width (side)
direction of the media. Fluctuation in distance (attachment position) between the edge
sensor and head is corrected. Correction is performed by measuring the distance from the
media edge to the print start position and adjusting the print start position so that it has a
standard distance.

8) Sensor (top) position adjustment


A function in the control firmware to correct the print start position in the feeding (top)
direction of the media. Fluctuation in distance (attachment position) between the edge
sensor and head is corrected. Correction is performed by measuring the distance from the
media edge to the print start position and adjusting the print start position so that it has a
standard distance.

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).

10) Waiting interval and waiting time


A function used to execute scanning at the specified interval.
When the ink takes time to dry on some media, printing failures including blur can be
prevented by scanning after the ink dries completely.

11) Flattening operation


If standby status continues for a long period with the media set, the edge of the media roll
may become wrinkled or stained by humidity, dust, and others. These troubles cause blur
in print, nozzle blockage and head friction. This operation is executed to prevent such
cases. Feeding of the media roll edge to the front cover and flattening operation (repeating
of media feed and back feed) are executed.

8-28
SIIT CONFIDENTIAL
SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

12) Media advance mode


When using flexible media such as tarpaulin, the back of the media may stick to the paper
guide or the platen, and the feeding operation is interrupted.
In this case, execute media feeding in the sequence for sticking media. (Sequence 2)
The sequence 1 is the normal feeding sequence.
The sequence 2 is the sequence for the sticking media.
The sequence 2 printing takes longer than the sequence 1.

13) Media set mode


Detect the edge of the media when replacing/setting the media and select whether to put it
back into the waiting position.
When the take-up reel unit is activated, the media does not return to the waiting position
despite this setting.

8.6 Head driving principle

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.

8.8.2 Operation Mechanism of Engine Block


● Head board (head ASSY)
The head board is mounted with 254-nozzle piezo elements and 2 driver ICs, and
consists of 6 heads for 6 colors.
The head ASSY is connected to carriage board that outputs head signal by 30-pole
bracket cable. The drive voltage of head piezo element is regularly 27V (set by FW by
receiving temperature feedback), and the logic voltage is 5V.

● Carriage board (PCB-ASSY-LEC4)


The carriage board is located in the carriage and it controls the 6 head ASSYs.
Besides the data output to head, it contains head operation timing generation circuit,
a circuit for A/D conversion of the temperature detection voltage from the head, and a
fan for cooling the head when the head temperature is high. It also mounts edge
sensors for detecting media width and edge position (light-emitting diode current is
variable in 4 steps by FW) and a linear encoder (2-phase, for 180DPI).
Furthermore, a driver/receiver IC is mounted as a circuit for data transmission
between the carriage and the engine controller.

● Engine controller board (PCB-ASSY-LEECV)


The engine controller board is the core circuit block for this printing engine, and it
addresses the following functions:
(1) CPU
(One-chip 32bit CPU (SH-3))
(2) Memories
(SDRAM (program), PLCC-type FLASH memory (boot program),
TSOP-type FLASH memory (system program & test pattern, engine
parameter backup, ASIC data), SDRAM (band memory), CF card (for
program and FPGA data loading), EEPROM (for parameter storage)
(3) I/O (PIO, RTC)

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

● 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.

● Harness connection board (PCB-ASSY-JUN1)


Sensors, switches, etc. assigned on the ink box side are wired from the engine
controller (LEECV board) with FFC (flexible flat cable) and are connected via the
harness connection board (JUN1 board).

● Mechanical control block


The main function of this block is to control the stepping motors such as carriage
motor and media feeding motor. It also controls the operations of various actuators
(capping motor, pump wipe motor, take-up, suction fan, etc.) in the service station and
ink supply system.

● Data path system


This block is a control block in the engine controller that receives data from the
computer, buffers and processes the data into a data for head transmission and
transmits the data to the head. All functions are addressed by the hardware.

● 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).

[Band memory specification]


(1) Memory capacity: 192MB mounted
(2) Memory used: 256Mbit synchronous DRAM
(3) Power supply voltage: +3.3V

● ATG (ADDRESS TIMING GENERATOR) block


This block writes into and reads from the band memory (SDRAM). Writing is
implemented in the scanning direction and reading is implemented in the nozzle
direction (in this system, the scanning direction and the nozzle assignment direction
are straight).
This enables orthogonal conversion.

[ATG function]
(1) Block unit memory access
(2) Memory address generation
(3) SYNCRONOUS DRAM timing generation
(4) Mirror processing (bit swap: forward →, backward ←)

SECTION 8 Operation Mechanism

● RSM (Rotation and SDRAM Manager) block


This block implements various processes including addition of print margin on both
sides depending on the printing mode and mirror processing for bidirectional printing
(bit swap), and transmits the data to the later PTG block.

[RSM function]
(1) Orthogonal conversion (horizontal and vertical conversion)
(2) X direction dummy data addition (main scan masking)
(3) Y direction dummy data addition (subscan masking)
(4) PTG transmission (PTG interface)
(5) Masking process. Depending on the printing mode (540 x 540 dpi, 6 passes,
bidirectional printing, etc.) and smart pass (low, medium, high), data from
the scanned line or column is masked.

● Head data transmission FIFO


This FIFO is incorporated in the PTG block. It functions as an intermediate buffer for
transmitting the 2-value head data converted for head nozzle assignment from RSM
to each of the six heads.

● PTG (PIXEL TIMING GENERATOR) block


This block implements serial transmission of the head data converted by the previous
RSM block (data converted for nozzle assignment) to the driver ICs inside the six
head ASSYs (there are two driver ICs in each head) and synchronizes to the
discharge timing from the linear scale to adjust the various timings for ink discharge
at the desired timing.

[Head control functions of PTG]


(1) Generation of 720 dpi discharge rate (fire rate)
(2) Fire timing adjustment
For each of the six heads, position shifting in the scanning direction is set as
a parameter to make minute adjustment of discharge timing. Specifically,
each fire interval is divided into 16 divisions to add the desired delay onto
the firing timing. For firmware, a half of it (eight divisions) is used.
(3) Unidirectional/bidirectional printing
Bidirectional printing is the basic operation. Thus change in head control by
the printing direction is also set as a parameter to make minute adjustments
of the discharge timing.

● Image interface
A low-voltage differential driver/receiver is adopted as the driver/receiver for image
interface to the carriage board.

●Head drive voltage control


The head drive voltage is supplied with a variable voltage VDD2 created on the LEC4
board based on the +38V generated from the power supply unit.
Furthermore, the optimal operation voltage varies at any time depending on the head
temperature, and the operation to read the head temperature and feed it back to the
operation voltage is repeated while the system is printing.

8.10.3 ON/OFF Sequence


The following shows the state transition for power supply ON/OFF. The panel SW is the power
supply switch on the operation panel.

The power supply is turned ON for the printer as follows:


Vsub5V (including Vsub3.3V) on the LEECV board is turned ON by plugging
the power cord into the power outlet. +5V on the LEECV board turns ON
with the panel SW ON, and then the CPU turns ON the +12V. For the
operation that involves initial operation (diagnosis included), printing
operation and other actuator driving, the firmware turns ON/OFF the +36V,
+24V and P36V_LEC.

The power supply is turned OFF as follows:


OFF of panel SW is detected by CPU. After the CPU turns OFF +12V (when
ON/OFF for +36V, +24V and P36V_LEC is started, it is also turned OFF)
and finally turns OFF +5V, and the state becomes panel SW ON waiting
state.
