OPERATING PRINCIPLES
2.1 Overview
Comparing with Stylus Photo750, following points in Stylus Photo1200
are different from Stylus Photo 750.
† Printer Mechanism
„ Since Stylus Photo1200 can deal with A3+ size, mechanism is
extended from 80 digits to 127 digits.
„ Size of color ink cartridge is changed, since the color ink life is
improved.
† Electric Circuit
„ Circuit component of Stylus Photo1200 is same as that of Stylus
Photo 750.
„ Control panel board(C206 PNL Board) is also used for Stylus
Photo EX and Stylus Color 400.
Therefore, since the printer mechanism and electric circuit of Stylus

Photo 1200 are basically same as those of Stylus Photo 750, refer to
the Service Manual of Stylus Photo 750 for more details.

Figure 2-1. Printer Mechanism

† Pump Mechanism
This mechanism consists of Pump and Cap parts.
„ Cap Parts
This protects the surface of print head nozzle from being dry or
from being attached with dust.
„ Pump Parts
This part receives motive power from the PF motor and
absorbes bubbles and viscous ink on the print head nozzle by
using the motor rotation and drains them to the waste ink pad.
† Carriage Lock Mechanism
This prevents the print head from separating from the cap parts by
the shocks from outside. Using the motive power from the PF motor,
this mechanism controls the lock lever, which secures the carriage,
and fixes or releases the carriage.

figure below shows the block diagram of the electric circuit. +5VDC • C209 PNL Panel Board
• Sensors
In this printer, even if the power switch is turned off in the middle of the
printing operation, application of the secondary switch enables the
printer to supply the voltage to the power/logic lines at the main board
side for at least 30 seconds. Therefore, even if the switch is turned off in
the middle of the printing operation, the power will be turned off after the
capping operation is completed. This prevents the print head from being
left uncapped and dry, and also ink leaking.
AC voltage input from the AC inlet passes through the Filter Circuit at
first, which removes the high frequency component, then, goes to Full
Wave Rectifier Circuit and Smoothing Circuit and is converted to DC
power supply. Then, this direct voltage is led to the Switching Circuit
Figure 2-2. Electric Circuit Block Diagram and is performed with switching operation by FET Q1. By the switching
operation in the primary side circuit, +42 VDC is generated and
stabilized in the secondary side. The +42VDC generated at the
secondary side is converted to more stabilized +5VDC by the chopping
regulator IC located at the secondary side.

2.2.2.2 Reset Circuit

Reset circuit consists of reset/timer IC(IC8) and peripheral elements.
The reset/timer IC prevents the CPU from running away, which is
caused by the unstable voltage(+5VDC line voltage is less than +4.3V)
in the logic line during the power ON/OFF operation. Also, IC sends the
reset signal to the CPU and gate array when +42VDC line voltage is
less than +35.5V.
