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 4-49 .

 

 

 

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 3-33 .

 

 

 

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.
