T echnical Reference 3-1 S600 P ar t 3: T echnical Ref erence 1. PRINTER CONTR OL SECTION The printer control section converts the data created and input by the printer driver into printing data and p.
1.2 Print Drive Method To print, the printer ejects ink from ink nozzles. To this end, 16-bit serial data is transferred once as a latch signal to each nozzle array (total of 8 arrays: black even/odd-number array, cyan, magenta, yellow/even/odd-number array).
1.2.1 Print drive control Print driving is executed as follows: a) The nozzles to be heated are selected in blocks. The nozzles to be heated are selected according to logical blocks of 16 nozzles divided from among the nozzle arrays. In the case of the black nozzles, they are divided into 10 blocks.
1.2.2 Print driving method The printer's drive system enables a maximum of 600 × 600 dpi for black and 2400 × 2400 dpi for color. The vertical resolution applies to two nozzle arrays for each color. In the case of black, the two nozzle arrays have 300 dpi.
1.3 Control During Printing The printer can produce high-quality printing with no smearing or irregular density with the cartridge, selected media, printing quality setting, printing data, etc., by altering the carriage operation, paper feed operation, etc.
1.3.4 Smear control and rest between pa g es Both smear control and the rest between pages are for preventing smearing by the edge of the printed paper sliding against the preceding printed page.
1.4 Detection Functions 1.4.1 Detection by sensor s The following sensors detect the printer's condition. 1.4.2 P aper-end sensor The photo interrupter-type, paper-end sensor detects the paper with the paper sensor arm's flag when the edge of the paper passes through the paper feed section.
1.4.3 Ink sensor (Same as for BJ F600) Consisting of an LED and photo sensor, the ink sensor uses optical means to detect whether there is ink in the ink tank.
1.4.6 Internal temperature sensor The internal temperature sensor (TH201) on the control board detects the printer's internal temperature in order to control print head driving.
2. ELECTRICAL DRIVE SECTION The electrical drive section controls the electrical components in accordance with the control signals and control data received from the control section. 2.1 Block Dia gram P ar t 3: T echnical Ref erence S600 3-10 Main PWB 48 (47.
2.2 Electrical Section To supply a driving voltage to the motor, IC, BJ cartridge, etc., the electrical section converts the AC voltage received from the AC power source into DC voltage. a) AC adapter The AC adapter converts the voltage from the AC power source into three voltages: + 27 VDC, + 19 VDC, and + 5 VDC.
3. PRINTER'S MECHANICAL P AR TS 3.1 Overview of the Printer's Mechanical P ar ts The printer's mechanical parts consist of the BJ cartridge, carriage, purge section, and paper feed section. Each part is explained below. 3.1.1 Carriage The carriage holds one BJ cartridge in place.
3.1.3 P aper feed section The paper feed section consists of the paper feed components, paper transport section, and paper discharge section. Paper feed Paper is fed automatically by the auto sheet feeder. The auto sheet feeder is driven by the paper feed motor.
3.2 Purge Section 3.2.1 Purge section functions In order to maintain good printing quality, the purge section maintains the BJ cartridge's nozzles. The purge section's functions consist of capping and cleaning. a) Capping The purge unit's cap is pressed against the print head's face to protect the nozzles from dust, etc.
3.2.2 Purge section components a) Purge driving motor The purge motor drives the wiper, carriage lock, and pump. It is a constant-voltage motor operating with a 1-2 phase drive. b) Wiper The wiper consists of a wiper and wiper cleaner. The wiping operation is executed while the carriage is fixed at the purge section.
d) Pump This is a tube pump system consisting of two ink tubes (one for black and one for color) pressurized by a rotating roller. A negative pressure is thereby created to suck the ink. Inside, there is a valve dedicated to black ink and one dedicated to color ink.
3.3 P aper Feed Section 3.3.1 P aper feed components The paper feed components include an ASF incorporating a friction separation system which uses a separation pad.
3.3.2 Friction separation system The friction separation system's paper separation method is explained below. 1. When the paper feed roller turns, the top sheet of the paper stack is taken to the nip where the pressure roller contacts the paper feed roller.
4. LOGIC BO ARD COMPONENTS a) Printer controller (IC101) The printer controller has the following eight functions. It operates with a 48 MHz external clock (not synchronized with the CPU). 1. I/F control The data is transferred with a serial (USB 1.1 standard) or parallel (IEEE 1274 standard) transmission.
7. Print head control Serial print data is sent to the print head. The transfer clock is 6 MHz. Since data latch occurs at the clock's start-up and shutdown, the data transfer speed is faster. Also, the print head heater's heating is executed with a single pulse or double pulse.
d) DC motor driver (IC504/505) The motor driver IC is for driving the DC motor (paper feed motor and carriage motor). This driver is a PWM (pulse-width modulation) IC that changes the current's pulse width to control the output. It thereby controls the motor.
5. OPERA TION WITH A COMPUTER For printer operation with a computer, printing with the printer driver's "Basic Setting Sheet" and setting the "Utility Sheet" are explained below. 5.1 Printing Operation with the Basic Settings Sheet To enable the user to print easily, the printer driver's ease of use has been improved.
6. INK SUCTION AMOUNT IN THE CLEANING MODE The printer has five cleaning modes (A to G). Cleaning is executed for maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
7. TECHNICAL REFERENCE 7.1 Printing Mode List The printing mode list for the black, color, and photo BJ cartridges is shown below. By setting the printer driver's "Dithering," "Paper Type," and "Printing Quality," the printer will operate in the printing modes below.
8. PRINT HEAD The two nozzle arrays for each CMY color are divided symmetrically left and right along the M line. This makes it completely compatible with bi-directional printing. Also, the relative position of the two nozzles is shifted by 600 dpi for black and by 1200 dpi for color.
