Maintenance Station Service Checks
| FRU | Action |
|
|
|
1 | Maintenance | The maintenance carrier is driven in a front to rear |
| Station Assembly | motion by the maintenance stepper motor. A |
|
| homing sensor is provided at the rear of the |
|
| maintenance station to home the maintenance |
|
| carrier during power up. Engine code software |
|
| controls the step count from the home position to |
|
| the various positions the maintenance carrier must |
|
| move to accomplish the various maintenance |
|
| tasks on the printheads. Utilizing cams and |
|
| linkages, the various components on the |
|
| maintenance carrier are actuated by the carrier |
|
| motion. |
|
| Check the maintenance carrier moves through its |
|
| complete forward to back motion without binds. |
|
| Check the maintenance station for worn, broken or |
|
| dislodged parts. |
|
| Check that the maintenance sensor is snapped |
|
| securely into the maintenance station frame. |
|
|
|
2 | Maintenance | Check for approximately +1.8 V dc at pins 1, 2, 3, |
| Motor Assembly | and 4 on connector (J3) on the engine board. If |
|
| voltage is incorrect, replace the engine board. If |
|
| voltage is correct, check connector and voltage at |
|
| the motor. Check for a short in motor and for |
|
| binds. If a short or bind is found, replace the |
|
| motor. |
|
|
|
3 | Peristalic Pump | Check the hose connections. If okay, replace the |
|
| pump. See “Peristaltic Pump Removal” on |
|
| page |
|
|
|
4 | Maintenance | If the access door switch does not work or carrier |
| Homing Sensor | does not move, check (J3) connector pin number 7 |
|
| for approximately +5 V. If voltage is correct, check |
|
| connection at the sensor. If connection is good, |
|
| replace sensor. See “Maintenance Sled Test” on |
|
| page |
|
|
|
5 | Wiper | A worn wiper can cause degraded print quality just |
|
| after a maintenance cleaning. Check for a loose or |
|
| worn wiper. |
|
|
|
6 | Cap | A worn cap can cause the printhead nozzles to |
|
| dry and clog. Check for a loose or worn cap. |
