RJ4100
CON1010
! CAUTION: The user can not be compelled to do the following! Asking the user/operator to cooperate is not a matter of having the user do the maintenance for you but it is necessary in order to have the equipment working more efficiently and for having faults rectified quickly. Actually, even when you do ask for the users cooperation, instead of a simple acknowledgement you will usually get doubts and quibbles such as Im paying for maintenance, Im not familiar with the equipment and it only benefits the manufacturer. However, you must try to persuade the user/operator to cooperate by explaining that doing daily inspections will give better printing quality and giving you all the fine details of a fault means that the fault will be rectified quickly. The following explains the items you need in order to understand fault conditions in detail: Check error messages Check users usage conditions Output from diagnostic pattern Output from setup lists Retest after changing settings Probability of recovery by implementing daily inspections.

Head cleaning (see REP1620) must be carried out when this printer is to be transported by truck (see CON6000) and when the following parts are to be replaced. < Replacement parts > Head, Damper, Head Cable, Cartridge Frame Assembly, Ink Tubes
If you can not lower the maintenance unit cap assembly and the cap assembly and pump assembly have been replaced: When the two tubes from the pump assembly are being connected to the cap assembly, turn them clockwise through 45 to 90 degrees as you insert them.
PRECAUTION 2
PRECAUTION 6
When the head cleaning jig is to be used, fill the jigs 100 cc bottle with at least 50 cc of cleaning fluid and use it with the cap loosened. If head cleaning is done with the cap tightened, ink will flow back into the 100 cc bottle. When you have finished head cleaning, return the remaining cleaning fluid from the 100 cc bottle to the 500 cc cleaning fluid bottle (JD-42054).
When the print head assembly, head board assembly and main board assembly have been replaced, be careful to insert the head cable and Y cable straight to the back and dont forget to lock the connectors. (The connectors fitted with locks are J207 and J208 on the head board.) If the cables are inserted obliquely or power is applied without locking the connectors, there is a risk that the head board may be damaged and it will be impossible for ink to be ejected. PRECAUTION 7 Ink and Cleaning Fluid Conduct Electricity
PRECAUTION 3
On rare occasions, printing quality may be unstable if printing is carried out immediately after initial filling. If this occurs, switch off the power and wait for at least 30 minutes before trying to print again.
Ink and cleaning fluid will conduct electricity. If there is ink or cleaning fluid on cables or connectors when power is applied, there will be a short circuit which may lead to all sorts of damage. If there is ink on the contacts of the connector, wipe it off with alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry thoroughly before reconnecting.
PRECAUTION 4
When the following tasks have been carried out, install a new waste fluid box and clear the waste fluid counter. 1. After head cleaning and initial filling. 2. When it was not possible to capture main board backup parameters.

Items to be Confirmed Has the power plug come away from the outlet? Plug the cord all the way into the socket. Has the cord come away from the printer inlet? Plug the cord all the way into the printer socket and try again. Is power available at the power outlet? Check the power supply. Is the AC power supply securely earthed? (grounding) Make sure it is connected to a 100 V or 200 V ground and confirm by testing the display again. With the cord inserted into the power outlet, is the prescribed voltage available at the end of the cord? Switch off the printer, leave it for ten minutes then try switching on again. The overcurrent detector circuit in the printer's power supply may have tripped. Leave it for 10 minutes then try switching on again. Are there any large power-consuming peripheral devices, such as a copier, on the same outlet? Take power from a separate power source. Is there any equipment near the printer that is producing strong noise? Separate the power supplies of nearby equipment and try increasing their distance from the printer. Is the power cable broken? It's no good connecting a broken cable. Replace the power cable. Is the LCD unit damaged? It needs to be repaired by the Serviceman. Please request repair. If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason. Go to MAP2000

CAUTION: o The cutter blade is very hard and brittle. Be careful not to knock it or drop it.
Step 4: Return the head to the right end and switch on the power. Reference: o Since the life of the cutter depends on the type and thickness of the media and the usage environment, it is recommended that a spare cutter be procured.
CAUTION: The auto-cut function cannot be used with some types of recommended media. If these types of media are used, a commercial cutter (such as OLFA 30B) or scissors must be used for cutting. The types of recommended media than cannot be cut by auto-cut are: - Indoor cloth - Yupo tac film - Fire-resistant cloth - Yupo film - Outdoor cloth
CAUTION: o There is a spring in the cutter mounting hole. Be careful not to lose it when you replace the cutter.

Is recommended media being used? Replace with recommended media and try again. Is the pressure lever lowered properly? Lower the lever securely. Is there any foreign matter interfering with the media feed, such as paper cuttings sticking to the grid roller? Remove them with a brush, etc. In the case of roll paper, is the roll shaft seated properly in both the left and right printer shaft support rollers? Install the shaft properly. In the case of roll paper, the media is set correctly if it moves backward and forward parallel to the marker line during media detection, and it is in the same position as it was prior to detection. However, if the position seems to be offset, it must be remounted. Mount the media again so that it is in the same position before and after media detection. Are you explaining what is meant by skew and meander? Check this condition in detail during the primary consultation. Explain that skew up to the figures shown below is within the acceptable limit. Also, have the repeatability checked and explain that poor repeatability is probably caused by badly mounted media. Cut sheet Roll media Within 1.5 mm Within 2.5 mm
1-6
However, it should be explained that in the case of roll media, if the pressure is left down for a long period with the media mounted, or in an environment with sudden changes of temperature and humidity, the whole roll may not necessarily feed properly. 1-7 In a case where the symptoms are not reproduced (no problem up to the fifth sheet then frequent skewing after remounting, etc.) the method of mounting the media may be at fault and this should be checked with the Operation Manual. Check "Loading the media" under "Installation procedures:" in the Operation Manual. If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason.

The absolute dimensions of printing media change with changes of temperature and humidity. Therefore, if media such as tracing papers and high grade papers that are easily affected by environmental changes are left mounted for long periods of time, they may tend to wrinkle and warp, causing jams. If the printer is not going to be used for a long period, raise the hold lever and remove the media. If the tension is high, re-mount the roll media and try again. Check that the usage environment is within the range shown in the Operation Manual. It is recommended that media be mounted just before it is to be printed. In view of expansion and contraction caused by the environment when thin media is being used, the environment should be checked. If the usage environment is outside the range shown in the Operation Manual, try again when the environment has been brought within the recommended range. Are the suction fans working normally during initialization? If the suction fans are not turning normally, there may be a fault in the main printer unit. How are you explaining what is meant by skew and meander? Check this condition in detail during the primary consultation. Explain that skew up to the figures shown below is within the acceptable limit. Also, have the repeatability checked and explain that poor repeatability is probably caused by badly loaded media.

Ink cartridges may contain dye inks or pigment inks. Each type of ink comes in four colors. Are they all genuine Mutoh cartridges? Replace them with genuine Mutoh ink cartridges. Are the ink cartridges past their effective limit? The effective life of an ink cartridge is two years after manufacture if unopened, or six months after opening. The use of out-of-date ink cartridges leads to head blockages. Replace with new cartridges. Cartridges must be inserted in the right direction. Are they mounted correctly? Check the direction and mount them correctly. Are the ink cartridges pushed right to the back? Make sure they are inserted properly. Is media recommended by Mutoh being used? No guarantee can be given if the media is causing the problem and it is not media recommended by Mutoh. Please use media recommended by Mutoh. Does cleaning restore normal operation? Carry out two successive cleanings. Is printing being done immediately after initial filling? On rare occasions, printing immediately after initial filling may produce unstable printing quality. In that case, wait for at least 30 minutes with the power switched off before printing again. If the symptoms occur after cartridges have been replaced or after cartridges have been removed and reinstalled, check whether any of the following circumstances apply: 1. Ink cartridges are kept in a cool dark place but they will freeze if they are stored for a long time below -18C. Avoid storage below freezing point. If the ink has frozen, leave it for at least three hours at room temperature (25C) and use it after it has thawed. 2. The seal should not be opened until just before the ink cartridge is inserted in the slot. If an ink cartridge has been left unsealed for a long time, the printing will be faint and cleaning will be required. 3. An ink cartridge should not be removed from the slot and reinserted until "No Ink" appears and it is to be replaced. Otherwise normal printing may become impossible even though there is ink remaining in the cartridge. If a cartridge has been removed and reinstalled, cleaning will be needed and for recovery it may be necessary to replace the cartridge with a new one. 4. If dew has condensed on a cartridge that has been brought into a warm place from a cold place, leave the cartridge for at least one hour at room temperature until the dew has disappeared before using it.

Is the printer installed "within the guaranteed working temperature range for the print head" as mentioned in the Operation Manual and has that environment been stabilized for two hours? It may not be possible to obtain good printing results outside the guaranteed working temperature range or if there is a sudden increase or decrease in temperature. Check the working environment and try again when it is within the proper range. Has the fine adjustment of image quality been made? The fine adjustment of image quality should be made if printed horizontal lines are slipping in the direction of the media feed, or there is a gap between black and other colors. If good image quality cannot be obtained even after successive cleanings, the cleaning may be soiled. Wet the accessory cloth for cleaning the cleaning wiper with clean water and wipe it over the surface of the cleaning wiper. Carry out two cleanings after the cleaning wiper has been cleaned.

Are there fingerprints on the printing surface? If oil from the skin is transferred to the printing surface, especially when cut media is being mounted, this may cause poor adhesion of ink when printing at those places. Care is needed when mounting the media. To which printing mode, high quality/normal/high speed, and to which resolution, 360/720 dpi, does this apply? Since image quality will be inferior at high speed and 360 dpi due to their relationship with the plotting pass, please try a different mode. Is the pressure lever fully down? Lower the pressure lever completely. In the case of roll media, is the roll shaft housed properly in both the left and right printer shaft support rollers on the main unit? If it not housed properly, the media will not be fed normally, causing the media to float up and white and black lines to appear. Has the fine adjustment of image quality been made? The fine adjustment of image quality should be made if printed horizontal lines are slipping in the direction of the media feed, or there is a gap between black and other colors. Is the type of media that is being used the same as the type of media that was specified with the printer driver? The printing quality will be affected if the type of media that was specified with the printer driver is not the same as the type of media that is being used. Make sure the specification agrees with the type of media that is actually being used. Go to next page

Is the printing bidirectional? Because it prints whether the head is moving to the left or to the right, this printer can print faster in standard or high speed mode at 360 dpi and in high speed mode at 720 dpi. However, there is more or less of a trade-off between speed and printing quality. For better quality, we recommend high quality mode for 360 dpi and standard or high quality mode in the case of 720 dpi. Please check after changing the mode. Have color adjustment settings been made with the printer driver? Output color tones will differ slightly because of differences between the output devices (display and printer). A color adjustment function has been provided in order to faithfully reproduce the display color in such cases. Try using the function to adjust the color. Please check after adjusting the color. If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason. Go to MAP4000

Items to be Confirmed Is media recommended by Mutoh being used? If the media is the cause of the symptoms and it is not media recommended by Mutoh, no guarantee can be given so please use recommended media. Is media thickness within specification? Not too thick or too thin? Media that matches the specification should be used. Is the proper side of the media being used. Check that the printing side of the media is mounted correctly and try again. Are printing settings compounded? If compound settings such as panel/user setting/overprint/etc. are made, priority should be given to postscript. (Refer to Menu in Printer settings and special functions of the Operation Manual) Does cleaning restore normal operation? Carry out two successive cleanings. If good image quality cannot be obtained even after successive cleanings, the cleaning may be soiled. Wet the accessory cloth for cleaning the cleaning wiper with clean water and wipe it over the surface of the cleaning wiper. Carry out two cleanings after the cleaning wiper has been cleaned.

Are there fingerprints on the printing surface? Especially when cut media is being mounted, oil from the skin may be transferred to the printing surface causing poor adhesion of ink printed at such places. Care is needed when mounting the media. Are the ink cartridges past their effective limit? The shelf life of an ink cartridge is two years after manufacture if unopened, six months after opening. Using out-of-date cartridges leads to head blockages. Replace with new cartridges. Is media recommended by Mutoh being used? If the media is causing the symptoms, and it is not recommended media, the results cannot be guaranteed. Please use recommended media. Was the printing done immediately after initial filling? Wait at least 30 minutes after initial filling before printing. Otherwise printing quality can not be guaranteed. When there are satellites, whiskers, blurring, etc. in the printing, first check the following two points: 1. Is the test pattern printed normally? (Refer to PAT1000) Carry out a cleaning if there are breaks in the printing of the nozzle check pattern. 2. Was cleaning done three times in succession? For details of how to clean, refer to Direct Key Explanation in the Operation Manual. If the symptoms occur after cartridges have been replaced or after cartridges have been removed and re-installed, check whether any of the following items apply: 1. Ink cartridges are kept in a cool, dark place but they will freeze if they are stored for a long time below -18C. Avoid storage below freezing point. If the ink has frozen, leave it for at least three hours at room temperature (25C) and use it after it has thawed. 2. The seal should not be opened until just before the ink cartridge in inserted in the slot. If an ink cartridge has been left unsealed for a long time, the printing will be faint and cleaning will be required. 3. An ink cartridge should be removed and reinserted until "No Ink" is displayed otherwise normal printing may not be possible even though there is ink remaining in the cartridge. If it is removed and re-installed, cleaning will be needed and for recovery it may be necessary to replace the cartridge with a new one. 4. If a cartridge has been brought from a cold place into a warm place, dew may condense on the cartridge and it will need to left for at least one hour until the dew has disappeared before it is used. Is the printer installed within the guaranteed working temperature range for the print head, as stated in the Operation Manual and has that environment been maintained in a stable condition for two hours? It may not be possible to obtain good printing results in an environment which is outside the guaranteed working temperature range or where there is a sudden rise or fall of temperature. Check the environmental conditions and try again within the specified range.

For how to take a print of the setting details, refer to Control panel in the Operation Manual. Data for printing should be able to be analysed by the printer. If it can not be dumped to a file by the application and the driver, a data dump list from a comparatively simple diagram will be satisfactory. (However, the data should enable the symptoms to be verified.) Please include in the printer connection environment: the host computer, the application, type of driver, the interface being used, length of cable, whether or not there is a switching unit. If possible, obtain a sample printout.
If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason. Go to MAP7000

Are Mutoh special ink cartridges being used? Mutoh special ink cartridges must be used. Are out-of-date ink cartridges being used? The shelf life of an ink cartridge is two years after manufacture if unopened, six months after opening. Using out-of-date cartridges leads to head blockages. Replace with new cartridges. If the symptoms occur after cartridges have been replaced or after cartridges have been removed and re-installed, check whether any of the following items apply: 1. Ink cartridges are kept in a cool, dark place but they will freeze if they are stored for a long time below -18C. Avoid storage below freezing point. If the ink has frozen, leave it for at least three hours at room temperature (25C) and use it after it has thawed. 2. The seal should not be opened until just before the ink cartridge in inserted in the slot. If an ink cartridge has been left unsealed for a long time, the printing will be faint and cleaning will be required. 3. The ink cartridge must not be removed and re-installed until No Ink appears in the liquid crystal display. Normal printing may be impossible even if there is ink remaining in the cartridge. If it is removed and re-installed, cleaning will be needed and for recovery it may be necessary to replace the cartridge with a new one. 4. If a cartridge has been brought from a cold place into a warm place, dew may condense on the cartridge and it will need to left for at least one hour until the dew has disappeared before it is used. Is media recommended by Mutoh being used? If the media is causing the symptoms, and it is not recommended media, the results cannot be guaranteed. Please use recommended media. Are the back and front of the media being mistaken? Remount the media so that the front of the media is the printing surface and try again. Does the media itself have bruise marks, wrinkles, deformation, discoloration, etc.? Replace it with new recommended media. Is the special cutter for this printer being used? Check the model. The special cutter must be used. Is there any foreign matter stuck to the tip of the blade? The tip of the cutter blade is sharp. Be careful not to cut yourself as you remove the foreign matter. Does it appear to have been damaged in transit? Record details of the damage in a "Query Sheet" and consult your local dealer. If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason. Go to MAP8000

Is the special extended memory for this printer being used? Check the model. The special extended memory must be used. Check the number of the slot for installing extended memory. If there is one extended memory, it goes in Slot 1. It will not work if it is installed in Slot 2 and Slot 1 is empty. Does it appear to have been damaged in transit? Record details of the damage in a "Query Sheet" and consult your local dealer. Are both network board ports connected at the same time? Disconnect either the 10BASE-T or the 10BASE-2 Can the RJ-4100 network settings be displayed? There is a risk that the network board is not connected properly. Reconnect and try again. Send data. Does the "Data" LED on the pan el light up? The set up, including IP address setting, may be incorrect. Check it again. Can the board be detected by the optional accessory setup utility program? Revise the settings and check again. Was printer addition selected? Refer to the Driver section of the Operation Manual and follow the installation procedure again. Specify the floppy disk. Does the display show Mtrj4000.inf (Windows 95), Mtrj4sNt.inf (Windows NT) or RJ4000Series (Macintosh)? There may be an error in specifying the drive and directory containing the floppy disk and driver program. Specify the correct drive and directory and try again. Is the indicator (bar) displayed during the installation operation? (Windows 95, Windows NT) Go to EXA8070 If the above procedures do not improve the symptoms, the main unit has probably developed a fault for some reason. Go to MAP8000

Symptom
Ink has overflowed from the waste fluid box
Check inside the waste fluid box. If it is full of ink, explain to the customer as you replace the waste fluid box. Use the self-diagnostic "Sensor: No Ink" to check the cartridge that has no ink. Remove all cartridges and check that the "No Ink" display changes when you gently press the black plastic switches of the detector assemblies (Bk, C, M and Y) on and off. Use the printer's self-diagnostic "Sensor: Box Exist/Box is not" to make sure that the waste fluid box detection is working normally. Slowly remove and replace the waste fluid box to confirm that the present/absent display appears. If the display is not normal, the sensor mounting position may be at fault. Remove the R Cover and adjust the mounting position of the waste fluid box detection switch assembly. Check the waste fluid box detection switch contact. J109 (INK TANK) on the main board Insert it correctly. Replace it. Is the waste fluid tube from the flushing box kinked? Fix it and attach it again. Is the flushing box choked with trash? Remove the trash. Replace it. The extension tube under the pump assembly may have come away. Remove the maintenance station GA assembly and check whether the extension tube has come away. Replace the pump assembly. Replace the pump motor assembly. Replace the cap assembly.

How to Measure the Y Rail Fitting Precision Item Replacement and Adjustment Procedure
CAUTION: The Y Rail fitting precision affects picture quality and rectangular accuracy. If, for any reason, you think the precision has altered or the frame and XY rails have been removed and readjustment is necessary, special jigs are available for taking measurements. If the Y Rail height has changed, this will affect picture quality precision and capping precision. If the amount of change is minimal, it can be recovered by picture quality adjustment and zone delay compensation but if it exceeds a certain amount (maximum value - minimum value 0. *), it will be beyond the range of control by zone delay. If Y Rail parallelism (L2) has altered, this will affect rectangular precision, XF sensor and cutter head distance, capping precision, etc. Y Rail height measurement can be measured with the covers fitted but the jig must be fitted in a place where there is no pressure unit. Fit the Jig Assembly to the Y Rail and read the measurements with slight pressure. For Y Rail parallel precision, the position of the Frame and Y Rail is controlled by the gauge jig. The gauge jig is used with the Steel Belt, Y Pulley Box and Y Return Pulley removed.

Principles of Operation
Principles of Operation 1. Ink ejection principle
Model Name:
RJ4100
GID2000
The printing system of RJ-4100 Series heads is an on-demand piezoelectric operated system. The principle of this system is that, using the vibration of a piezo element, ink enters the flow path and the path expands and contracts when the piezo element vibrates, ejecting the ink. Therefore, when the head is to be used in a stable condition, it is vital that the ink enters and remains in the flow path in a stable condition. Also, at the leading edge of the head (the ends of the nozzles) it is extremely important that the ink is kept in a condition (meniscus) such that it can be ejected at any time. 2. For stabilizing and ejecting ink So long as the meniscus of the nozzle section is kept in a constant condition, the piezo head ought to be capable of stable ejection throughout its physical life. However, the ink is not being ejected from the nozzle at constant intervals. In the periods when there is no ejection, the ink hardens in the nozzle and the meniscus may be destroyed. Therefore, restoring these conditions is a mandatory requirement for using the piezo head in a stable condition. Accordingly, a piezo type system is provided with a cleaning unit and it would be no exaggeration to say that the reliability of the cleaning system is more important than the ejection. (Causes of nozzle clogging include dust and hardening of the ink that has been left too long.) 3. Printing sequence The piezo head is most stable when ink is being ejected regularly. Therefore, ink is ejected from all nozzles at certain regular intervals during printing. Naturally, it would be wrong if this were to be ejected onto the media so a place for this ejection is provided near the cleaning unit. (For flushing: the flushing box) 4. Initial filling operation After the user has purchased a printer, this operation is required once only and it is intended to enable the head to print by filling the head with ink from the ink cartridges. ink filling uses the cleaning unit pump motor to suck ink from the ink cartridges until it arrives at the head. 5. Cleaning and strong cleaning This operation is to restore the head to normal condition by removing any foreign matter clinging to the head face or when the ink at the ends of the nozzles has hardened.

Head cleaning This function is to remedy head nozzle blockage. When ink is ejected by the pump attached to the capping unit, head maintenance is carried out by wiping and rubbing actions. Cleaning modes include normal cleaning and powerful cleaning as well as periodic cleaning after each hour of accumulated printing time. When the panel cleaning key is pressed, normal cleaning is done first. After that, if the cleaning key is pressed again before three pages have been plotted, powerful cleaning will be carried out automatically. Function to prevent head drying out During a printing operation, if the head is stationary for more than 20 seconds while waiting for data for instance, the head will be made to stand by at the capping to position to prevent it from drying out. Printing will be resumed automatically when data are supplied. Function to detect no ink The no ink sensor for each cartridge will react when the amount of ink in the cartridge is low. At this time the panel LCD will display an ink low warning. However, a certain amount of ink will remain in the cartridge. When this remaining ink has been ejected, no ink will be indicated on the panel. When no ink appears on the panel during printing, if the data are vector data only, printing will continue to the end, if the data include raster data, printing will stop. No further printing will be done until the cartridge is replaced. Function to detect waste fluid full When waste fluid initial filling and cleaning accumulates in the waste fluid box, the printer will ask for the waste fluid box to be replaced. No more cleaning will be possible until the replacement of the waste fluid box has been confirmed by an operation. The absorption capacity of the waste fluid box is 372 cc and the amount of ink sucked out during cleaning is roughly as shown below: Normal cleaning . . . . Monochrome mode: 0.3 cc, color mode: 0.6 cc Strong cleaning. . . . . Monochrome mode: 0.7 cc, color mode: 1.4 cc Head washing and initial filling: about 100 cc total. When the waste fluid has accumulated up to 90% of the absorption capacity of the waste fluid box, Change Tank? will appear in the panel, warning that it is nearly time to replace the waste fluid box. Then, when 100% of the absorption capacity of the waste fluid box has accumulated, Waste fluid box full will appear. When the Waste fluid box full message has appeared during printing, printing will continue to the end whether the data are vector data only or raster data are included. No further printing will be done until the cartridge Change Tank? is replaced. When the waste fluid box is replaced, Has it been replaced? will appear in the panel display and when this is confirmed by answering Yes, the waste fluid counter will be cleared. The waste fluid box may also be replaced before the Waste fluid box full appears.

Head washing This function is operated only from Self-Diagnostic mode. (Refer to BAC2160) It is a function intended for removing ink from the heads and tubes and for washing them when the printer is shipped and whenever it is moved. The operation is broken into the following three stages. You will need the head washing jig. (Refer to CAT2000) (1) Suck out the ink from the head and ink tube. (Do this with no ink cartridge) (2) Suck out the washing fluid and wash the head and ink tube. (Install the washing jig in place of the cartridge) (3) Suck out the washing fluid, leaving the head and ink tube empty) If Black & Color is selected, do steps (1) to (3) above for black and then repeat steps (1) to (3) above for color. Black & Color washing takes about 40 minutes. CAUTION 1: When to do head washing You must do Head Washing (Refer to REP1620) whenever this printer is to be transported by truck (Refer to CON6000) and when the following parts are replaced. < Replacement parts > Head, damper, head cable, cartridge frame assembly, ink tube. CAUTION 2: Head Washing Jig When the head washing jig is to be used, fill the jigs 100 cc bottle with at least 50 cc of washing fluid and use it with the cap loosened. If head washing is done with the cap tightened, ink will flow back into the 100 cc bottle. When you have finished head washing, return the remaining washing fluid from the 100 cc bottle to the 500 cc washing fluid bottle (JD-42054). Initial filling This is a function to restore printing capability after head washing by filling the head tube with ink. This will be done automatically once only when power is switched on after head washing (except in Self-Diagnostic Mode). If a Not yet filled message appears when the power is switched on, install the ink cartridges. Initial filling will then proceed automatically. Initial filling can also be forced in Self-Diagnostic Mode. (Refer to BAC2040) Dont switch off the power during initial filling. CAUTION 3: Printing After Initial Filling Wait at least 30 minutes before printing after initial filling. Printing quality can not be assured unless ink filling has been stabilized. CAUTION 4: Initial filling is automatic when inks are switched When ink cartridges are switched from dye to pigment type or from pigment to dye type, the ink remaining in the ink tubes is expelled and initial filling begins automatically. For details on switching ink types, please refer to "Switching between dye ink and pigment ink" in the Basic Edition.

CAUTION: Because the black and color heads have different resolutions and numbers of pores, when printing in color mode, there is no ejection from the even numbered pores of the black head. Distance to media surface The distance to media surface (the distance from the head nozzle face to the media) is about 1.8 mm. As shown in the diagram below, because of the time lag from ejection to impact, in the case of bidirectional printing the ejection positions must be adjusted so that the points of impact on the forward and return strokes will coincide. In this printer, this adjustment is called Reciprocal Printing Position Alignment. (BAC2080)
Offset of ejection positions Return travel Forward travel Distance to media surface: 1.8 mm approx.
Mix magenta and yellow to produce red. For uni-directional printing, the ejection sequence is magenta then yellow. For bidirectional printing, the forward travel ejection sequence is magenta then yellow and the return travel sequence is yellow then magenta. A slightly different color is seen if the ejection sequence changes and banded striping may appear in some images. Therefore, uni-directional printing is used where image quality takes priority and bidirectional printing is used where speed is required. Printing modes This printer has the following six printing modes: 1. 360 dpi: High speed printing 2. 360 dpi: Standard printing 3. 360 dpi: High quality printing 4. 720 dpi: High speed printing 5. 720 dpi: Standard printing 6. 720 dpi: High quality printing

Self-Diagnostic Functions
This chapter explains about self-diagnostic functions that are not available to the user. These functions are intended for use during manufacture, adjustment and maintenance and include Panel Diagnosis operated from the panel and Personal Computer Diagnosis operated by connecting a personal computer. For the RJ-4100, since post-adjustment parameters (settings and mechanical constants) are saved in non-volatile memory, due care is needed in using them.

Adjustment
This procedure is used for correcting media feed and printing position. This is done by mechanical adjustments (head tilt) and firmware parameter adjustments. If this item is selected when X and Y excitations are off, the X and Y excitations will be turned on and the initialization sequence will be carried out. Items for adjustment are listed in Table 2-1. All these procedures are implemented during production. When the head is replaced, head cleaning (followed by switching off and replacing the head), head rank input, ink filling and print positioning are implemented. CW adjustment, reciprocal printing positioning and zone delay compensation are carried out when the printing position is to be corrected after a change of media type. If media feed is off, the media feed distance is compensated. Table 2-1 Adjustment items
