Con sistin g of an LED an d ph oto sen sor, th e in k sen sor u ses optical m ean s to detect  
wh eth er th ere is in k in th e in k tan k.  
At th e bottom of th e in k tan k is an in den tation th at works like a prism .  
Wh en th ere is in k in th e in k tan k, th e refractive in dex of th e in k an d th e prism 's resin

Wh en th e in k is exh au sted, th e refractive in dex of th e air an d th e prism 's resin is very

Th e in k sen sor detects th e differen ce in th e reflected ligh t am ou n t to determ in e  
wh eth er or n ot th ere is in k in th e tan k. Th e MPU detects th e voltage th at ch an ges

is con verted to a digital valu e by an in tern al A/ D con verter.  
Wh en th e prin ter detects n o in k in th e in k tan k, it in dicates "in k low" on th e statu s

To preven t in k from leakin g, th e waste-in k absorber's fu ll capacity is detected by  
estim ation .  
Th e prin ter calcu lates th e am ou n t of waste in k produ ced by th e m ain ten an ce jet an d

To su pply a drivin g voltage to th e m otor, IC, BJ cartridge, etc., th e electrical section  
con verts th e AC voltage received from th e AC power sou rce in to DC voltage.  
a) AC adapt er  
Th e AC adapter con verts th e voltage from th e AC power sou rce in to th ree voltages:  
+27 VDC, +19 VDC, an d +5 VDC.  
Th e +27 VDC's ou tpu t is con trolled accordin g to th e sign al (DWCONT) ou tpu t by th e  
prin ter con troller.  
Th e +27 VDC is u sed as LF, CR, ASF, an d PG for th e respective m otor drive power  
sou rce.  
Th e +19 VDC is th e prin t h ead's h eater drivin g power sou rce.  
Th e +5 VDC is th e logic system 's power sou rce. It is con stan tly su pplied by th e AC

th e sen sors, driver IC, an d BJ cartridge are in th e active state.  
b) DC/ DC con vert er  
Th e DC/ DC con verter on th e con trol board con verts th e voltage in to +5 VDC an d +3.3  
VDC an d ou tpu ts both .  
Th e +5 VDC is u sed for th e EEPROM an d reset drivin g power sou rce an d th e power  
voltage for th e HVDD, VIF, an d VSEN. Th e HVDD, VIF, an d VSEN power voltage

Also, th e +5 VDC is u sed as th e power sou rce for th e prin ter con troller, MPU, DRAM,  
an d con trol ROM. It is also u sed as a pu ll-u p power sou rce for variou s switch es.  
By u sin g +3.3 VDC as th e power sou rce, th e power con su m ption du rin g power off is

Th e prin ter con troller h as th e followin g eigh t fu n ction s. It operates with a 48 MHz  
extern al clock (n ot syn ch ron ized with th e CPU).  
1. I/ F con trol  
Th e data is tran sferred with a serial (USB 1.1 stan dard) or parallel (IEEE 1274  
stan dard) tran sm ission . Parallel tran sm ission s operate in th e com patible, n ibble,  
an d ECP m odes.  
2. Receivin g bu ffer con trol  
Th e rin g bu ffer-type receivin g bu ffer an d th e straigh t-type tran sm ission bu ffer are  
con trolled.  
3. System m an agem en t en abled  
With th e bu ilt-in tim er, an y clock stoppage or su ction tim e is cou n ted. Also th e  
statu s of th e port in th e prin ter con troller is sam pled.  
4. Data decom pression  
Th e data com pressed by th e prin ter driver is restored as prin t data. In addition ,  
du rin g prin tin g in th e HS m ode, 300 dpi data is expan ded by 2× vertically an d  
h orizon tally to 600 dpi. Th e CMY 2-bit data is also distribu ted to th e even / odd  
bu ffers for each even / odd array on th e prin t h ead.  
5. Data processin g  
A dot cou n t is execu ted for power m on itorin g an d sm ear processin g. Also, dot  
th in n in g for seam stripe processin g is based on th e dot cou n t an d color ton e.  
6. Prin tin g con trol  
Th e data received is rearran ged in th e raster direction .  
Also, data is processed so th at th e prin t h ead's h eaters are h eated in th e su itable  
sequ en ce.

7. Prin t h ead con trol  
Serial prin t data is sen t to th e prin t h ead.  
Th e tran sfer clock is 6 MHz. Sin ce data latch occu rs at th e clock's start-u p an d  
sh u tdown , th e data tran sfer speed is faster.  
Also, th e prin t h ead h eater's h eatin g is execu ted with a sin gle pu lse or dou ble  
pu lse. In th e case of a dou ble pu lse, th e first pu lse is a press pu lse. Th e pu lse  
followin g it becom es th e m ain pu lse.  
Th e prin t h ead's tem peratu re is estim ated with th e dot cou n t. Based on th e  
estim ated tem peratu re, su itable h eatin g is execu ted with th e voltage valu e.  
8. Motor con trol  
Th e en coder sign als in pu t from th e two DC m otors are processed, an d a sign al for  
th e 1-2-ph ase drivin g of th e au to sh eet feeder m otor is gen erated.  
b) MPU (IC1 )  
Th e MPU con tain s a 32-bit CPU, 16 KB work RAM, 21-bit address bu s port, 16-bit  
data bu s port, in terru pt con troller, A/ D con verter, I/ O port, an d oth er bu ilt-in  
com pon en ts. With th e ch ip select sign al, th e MPU selects th e con trol ROM, prin ter  
con troller, an d DRAM.  
Bu ilt -in CPU  
Th e 32-bit CPU operates in syn ch ron ization with a 48 MHz extern al clock in pu t.  
Address bu s/ Dat a bu s  
Th is operates in syn ch ron ization with a 20 MHz extern al clock in pu t. An extern al  
RAM (16 Mbit) is accessed via th e 16-bit data bu s.  
In t erru pt con t roller  
Th e MPU receives extern al in terru pts from th e POWER button's ON/ OFF an d I/ F.

5.1 Printing Operation with the Basic Settings Sheet  
To en able th e u ser to prin t easily, th e prin ter driver's ease of u se h as been im proved.  
Th e Basic Settin gs Sh eet en ables th e u ser to set th e paper type, paper feed m eth od,  
an d prin tin g qu ality.  
Also, th e "Prin t Advisor" is a n ew featu re. Wh en th e u ser does n ot kn ow wh ich paper is  
su itable for prin tin g, th e Prin t Advisor gives on -screen in stru ction s so th at th e
