2.4 Ink System Mechanisme Ink system mechanism consists of pump mechanism and capping mechanism with per mechanism.

2.4.1 Pump Unit Mechanismith this printer, when the PF motor turns, power is always transmitted to the ink stem.

PERATING PRINCIPLES Electrical Circuit Operating Principles

3.1 C616 PSB/PSE Board the PSB/PSE Board of Stylus C67/C68/D68, the simulated oscillating stimulation back converter circuit method is used, and it supplies +42 VDC to the drive line. e application of the output voltage is described below.

C616PSB Board: 100-120V

C616PSE Board: 220-240V

voltage input from AC inlet first goes through filter circuit that removes high quency components and is then converted to DC voltage via the rectifier circuit and smoothing circuit. DC voltage is then led to the switching circuit and FET Q1

eforms the switching operation. By the switching operation of the primary cuit,+42VDC is generated and stabilized at the secondary circuit.

Be careful to avoid electric shocks when checking the electrical circuit boards (C616 MAIN, PSE and B circuit boards) while the power is turned on.Touching an FET, transistor or heat sink with one hand while touching a metal part of the mechanism with the other hand could result in an electric shock, so carefully avoid this.After initial filling of ink has been repeated several times, immediate moving or tilting of the printer could result in leaking of ink that has not been completely absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad. When initial filling of ink has been repeated several times, check the ink remaining in the tip of the Waste Ink Tube and the waste ink not absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad before moving the printer.

Disassembly and reassembly of parts is often required when identifying the causes of problems. The parts should be disassembled and re-assembled correctly while referring to DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY (p35) so that the operation and status of each check item can be correctly verified.Some individual part and units may require adjustment once they are removed or replaced. If removing or replacing parts which have specific instructions for adjustment included in DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY (p35), be sure to make these adjustments after repairing the problem location.

Install the CR timing belt to the printer mechanism.

Check the CR timing belt tension by using Digital Tension Gauge.[Note] Before this adjustment, the following data should be inputted into Digital Tension Gauge.

[UNITTA : Setting of Digital Tension Gauge] - Weight : Input “0.4” - Width : Input “8” - Span : Input “377”

Return to CR unit to have position.

Set the sensor cable to the center of the timing belt vertically.(This time, the distance between the surface of the sensor cable on the timing belt is 10 ± 5mm.)

Push the upside of the timing belt with the tail plastic of ballpoint pen / plastic tweezers and check the timing belt tension on display of Digital Tension Gauge.

Check the result of tension value on the display.

[Treatment for NG product]

Step1) Replace the CR timing belt wStep2) Check the adjustment result Step3) If the result is NG level, con during disassembly.Step4) Perform step2) again.

1.1 Cleaningis printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the inthead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts d perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.

.

Exterior partsUse a clean soft cloth moistened with water, and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior parts are stained by the ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it off.

Inside the printerUse a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.

LD RollerWhen paper loading function does not operate because friction of the LD roller is lowered by any paper dust, set the adhesive side up of the cleaning sheet (included in the media) to remove any paper dust. Repeat loading the cleaning sheet several times.

Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and acetone to clean the exterior parts of the printer like the Housing. These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the components of the printer.Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside the printer.Do not scratch the coated surface of the PF roller. Use soft brush to wipe off any dusts. Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the ink stain.Do not use cleaning sheet included in the media for normal usage. It may damage the coated surface of PF roller.If the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet is set to the LD roller shaft side and used to clean the LD roller surface, it is no problem. When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such products containing flammable gas is prohibited.

1.3 Lubricatione characteristics of the grease have great affects on the mechanical function and rability, especially does the characteristics about temperature environment. The type d amount of the grease used to lubricate the printer parts are determined based on the ults of the internal evaluations. Therefore, be sure to apply the specified type and ount of the grease to the specified part of the printer mechanism during servicing.

Refer to the following figures f
