CR measurement sequence To set the appropriate drive current value according to the variation of the CR mechanical load, the mechanical load is measured in a CR measurement sequence and saved into the EEPROM A4<H>, A5<H> in a power-on or IC change sequence. However, if 46 is saved at the EEPROM A4<H> and 05 at A5<H>, Fatal error will occur since too large load is applied to the CR drive system. The above control and sequences correct the drive current value of the CR Motor according to not only the mechanical load but also the variations of the motor and like. In addition, the resultant CR drive current value is used to calculate a heating value, and when the specified heating value is reached, wait time is provided per CR path for printing.
Closed loop control based on the CR Motor (DC Motor) and CR Encoder Sensor has advantages in stabilized print quality and silent operation. Heat generation control Using low-cost DC motors, this product grasps the variations of the torque constants, coil resistances and power supply board output voltages of the individual DC motors adequately to carry out heat generation control according to individual differences. CR variation measurement sequence The variations of the torque constant, coil resistance and power supply board output voltage of the motor are measured in a CR variation measurement sequence when the CR mechanical load is in the initial status and saved into the EEPROM (A6<H>). According to the variations (individual differences) measured in this sequence, the voltage is corrected to make the drive current value constant (without an individual difference) according to the variations (individual differences) measured in this sequence.

Driven by the ASF Motor, the ASF Assy. performs the following feeding operation. 1. When a paper feeding command is issued from the PC or the Paper Switch of the panel is pressed after power-on, the driving force of the ASF Motor begins to be transmitted to the LD Roller. 2. The flag of the Paper Back Cam moves away from the home position of the ASF Sensor and the LD Roller rotates. 3. When the LD Roller rotates one turn and the flag of the Paper Back Cam returns to the home position of the ASF Sensor again, the LD Roller stops rotating.
The drive of the ASF Motor is transmitted to the LD Roller in the following path. LD Roller Drive Transmission Path ASF Motor Pinion Gear Combination Gear 29, 11 Paper Back Cam LD Roller

When current I/C consumption is the same (as ink consumption in EEPROM) 1. When the initial filling flag is set and the CSIC side ink consumption is 0, the printer judges that initial filling is not yet performed. (The printer before initial filling judges that the I/C is fitted in a power-off status.) 2. Installation count updating, CSIC information replacement, and initial filling are executed in this order. 3. If the initial filling flag is not set, the printer judges that I/C change was not made at power-off and regards the CSIC data as valid. Data is written to the CSIC at the following timings. At power-off In the power saving mode At the time of Ink Cartridge replacement At the time of cleaning 1. Data is read from the CSIC and developed in the RAM on the Main Board. 2. The data is compared with the ink consumption in the printer EEPROM. If the data are the same, the data is written to the CSIC. If they are different, only the consumed difference is added and written to the CSIC. When cleaning is performed, the CL count is also written, and when the I/C is changed, the installation count is also written.

USB ID Input
The USB ID is written to identify the connection of the same model. When multiple printers of the same model are connected to the PC in a daisy chain, etc., this adjustment is made to allow the PC to recognize the connected printers individually. At the time of Print Head replacement, this adjustment is made to correct head manufacturing variations and eliminate the individual differences of print quality.
IEEE1394 ID Input
Head ID Input
1. Enter the ID of the Head QR Code Label, which is applied to the Print Head, into the program. 2. The ID is saved into the EEPROM of the Main Board. (Supplement: Read the QR code label from left to right on the top row and from top to bottom in due order.) 1. Select this function in the Adjustment Program and print the adjustment pattern. 2. After checking the displacement amount of the pattern, enter the pattern number whose displacement amount is the smallest. 1. Select and execute this function in the Adjustment Program. 2. Pattern printing and adjustment are automatically executed. Supplement: Note that you must confirm there are no dots missing before execution of this adjustment.
This adjustment is made to correct the error in the Print Head mounting position (Head angle) to make the nozzle line straight relative to the paper feeding direction. Angular displacement is also checked for. This adjustment is made to correct a detection position error, which is caused by the displacement of the Ink Mark Sensor mounting position, on a software basis.

1. Select and execute this function in the Adjustment Program. 2. Pattern printing and adjustment are automatically executed. Supplement: Note that you must confirm there are no dots missing before execution of this adjustment. 1. Print a pattern with no dots missing, and check it with the Sensor. 2. Print a pattern with five dots missing, and check it with the Sensor. 3. The check result is OK if the two patterns are detected correctly. Before execution of pattern printing, however, you must confirm that there are no dots missing. 1. Select this function in the Adjustment Program and print the adjustment pattern. 2. Select the pattern number 5mm away from each edge, and enter that number in the program. 3. The correction value is saved to the specific EEPROM address of the Main Board. 1. Select this function in the Adjustment Program and print the adjustment pattern. 2. Select the pattern number 5mm away from each edge, and enter that number in the program. 3. The correction value is saved to the specific EEPROM address of the Main Board. 1. Select and execute this function in the Adjustment Program. 2. Reset the PF deterioration counter.
This check is made to test whether the Ink Mark Sensor can detect patterns properly.
This function adjusts the print starting position in the CR main scanning direction.
PW Sensor Adjustment
This adjustment is made to correct the PW Sensor mounting position on a software basis to improve a paper detection error caused by the variation of the mounting position. The deterioration amount of the PF Roller Shaft is added to the paper feed correction amount. Every time a sheet of paper is fed, the deterioration amount is counted on the basis of the original counter value setting. When the PF Roller Shaft or Printer Mechanism has been replaced during repair, the PF deterioration counter must be reset. The PF deterioration compensation counter can be reset only when the PF Roller Shaft is new. To reduce the ancillary work in servicing, enter the maximum value (value for which deterioration compensation is not made) if the PF Roller Shaft has not been replaced. This correction is made when the actual feed amount differs greatly from the theoretical value due to paper slip, PF roller tolerances, etc. during paper feed for printing. This correction is made when the actual feed amount differs greatly from the theoretical value due to paper slip, exit roller tolerances, etc. during exit paper feed for bottom printing.
1. Select and execute this function in the Adjustment Program. 2. Reset the PF deterioration counter.

7. Bring the Microphone as close as possible to the center of the Timing Belt.
Proper measurement may be interrupted by sounds picked up from around. Make measurement in silent environment.
1. Secure the PF Motor to the Printer Mechanism, and install the Timing Belt on the Gear of the PF Scale and the Pinion Gear of the PF Motor. 2. Press the [POWER] button. (The LCD of the Measuring Tool displays No. 0 and No. 1.) 3. From among No. 0 to No. 9, select the channel you want to store its setting by pressing the [SELECT] button. (The initial value may be selected as the channel.) 4. Press the [WEIGHT] button. Though the initial value is displayed, type from the ten-key pad so that "1.2g/m" is displayed. 5. Press the [WIDTH] button. Though the initial value is displayed, type from the ten-key pad so that "5.0mm" is displayed. 6. Press the [SPAN] button. Though the initial value is displayed, type from the ten-key pad so that "48mm" is displayed.

As the Timing Belt is flipped with the tip of tweezers in the following steps, carefully choose the flipping position so that the Belt will not make contact with the Microphone by reaction of flipping.
8. Press the [MEASURE] button. ("----" is displayed on the LCD screen.) 9. Put the tip of the tweezers on the Timing Belt, and flip it downward in that position. The "----" line on the LCD screen becomes wavy, and the measurement result is indicated by "repeated beeps" and "N" (Newton) displayed on the LCD screen. This jig can pick up and measure sounds accurately, regardless of the flipping force. 10. Repeating Step 8 and 9, delicately shift the variable part of the PF Motor mounting position to adjust the tension until the tension falls within the allowable standard value.

Even if the Timing Belt is flipped, the LCD screen may not change at all. In this case, flip the Timing Belt again after a few seconds have passed. If measurement results differ greatly from each other, acoustic sounds may not be picked up properly in any of the measurements. Therefore, flip the Timing Belt again with the tweezers, and record the value at which two measurement results are approximate. Displaying errors in the range 1/100 to 5/100, the Measuring Tool has high reliability.

Before starting PG adjustment, completely wipe drops of ink from around the Print Head. Remaining drops of ink will stick to the continuity measurement portion of the Adjustment Gauge, and generate continuity before the continuity measurement portion makes contact with the metal frame around the Print Head, interrupting accurate PG Adjustment. As the ink in the Print Head may stick fast and damage the Print Head during PG Adjustment, make the continuity time detected with a tester as short as possible. (Within 3 minutes)

MAINTENANCE
Revision A
6.1 Overview
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.
6.1.2 Cleaning
This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the Print Head. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.
C A U T IO N
ROM
Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and acetone, to clean the exterior parts of the printer like the housing. These chemicals may degrade or deteriorate the quality of this product. Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside the printer. Do not scratch the surface of the PF Roller assembly. Use a soft brush to wipe off dust. Use a soft cloth moistened with dilute alcohol to remove ink stain. Do not use the supplied cleaning sheet for normal usage. It may damage the coated surface of the PF Roller. If the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet is set to the ASF LD Roller side and used to clean the ASF LD Roller surface, it is no problem.
Housing Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water and wipe off any dirt. If the Housings are stained with ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it off. Inside the printer Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.
