1.2 Ink Stains 1.2.1 Ink path

Be careful not to touch the ink path as it may stain the printer, your hands, or clothes during repair. The ink path is the nozzle section of the BJ cartridge, head cap, head wiper, maintenance jet receiving section, and the waste ink absorbers. For the color BJ cartridge, the ink inlets of the ink cartridge and the joint pipes of the print head body are also part of the ink path, so take the same care with them.
CAUTION
The ink is not a harmful substance to the human body, but it does contain organic solvents. Black ink: isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0, glycerin 56-81-5 Color ink: isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0, glycerin 56-81-5 Take care not to get ink in the mouth or eyes. If ink does get into the eyes, wash it out with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately. If, for some reason, a large amount of the ink is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. Please provide the doctor with the information printed on the BJ cartridge label. This ink contains dyes, and cannot be removed from clothing, etc.

1.2.2 Ink mist
The BJ cartridge ejects ink onto the paper. However, after the printer has been used for a long period of time or under heavy duty use, a small amount of ink mist bouncing back off the paper during printing can dirty the inside of the front cover and platen area. Wipe the dirty areas with a soft damp cloth as this ink can dirty the paper, or the hands or clothing of service personnel.

2. MACHINE PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Precautions for Handling BJ Cartridges 2.1.1 Turning the printer ON/OFF
The printer will automatically cap the cartridge heads one minute after printing operations are completed, to prevent the ink from leaking or drying out. When unplugging the power cord, wait at least one minute after completing an operation such as printing, feeding paper, cleaning the print head, etc. If the power cord is accidentally unplugged before one minute has passed, replug the AC adapter and wait for more than one minute before unplugging the power cord.
CAUTION
If the nozzles are not capped, the ink may leak or dry out, causing the nozzles to clog.
2.1.2 When the printer is not in use

BJ cartridges should be stored either installed in the printer or in the BJ cartridge container.
CAUTION
If the BJ cartridge is removed from the printer or BJ Cartridge Container, the ink may leak or dry out, causing the nozzles to clog.
2.1.3 Transportation precautions

When transporting the printer, follow the procedure below. 1) Disconnect the interface cable and AC power cord as described above in Part 3: 1.3 Setup Procedure (page 3-3). 2) Put the BJ cartridge in the BJ cartridge container. 3) Repack the printer in its original box and packing materials.
Figure 1-4 Storing the BJ Cartridge
NOTE
If you do not have the original packing materials, use an ample amount of shock-absorbing materials.

BJC-1000
2.1.4 Ink electroconductivity
The ink in the BJ cartridge is electroconductive. If ink leaks into the printers mechanical parts, use a damp paper towel, etc., to wipe clean. If it leaks into the printers electrical components, use tissue paper, etc., to wipe clean completely. If ink gets into the IC chips on the PCB and it is difficult to clean, replace the PCB. If ink has leaked inside the printer, do not plug in the power cord. It may damage the circuitry.
CAUTION
2.2 Printer Handling 2.2.1 Spur deformation prevention

Do not deform the spurs. If spurs are deformed, their contact area with the printed paper increases, causing more ink to adhere. This can lead to the paper becoming stained with ink. (A dotted line may appear where the spurs have contacted the paper.)
Figure 1-5 Spurs

2.2.2 Precautions to prevent damage from static electricity

The electrostatic charge accumulated on clothing can damage electric elements and their characteristics. Do not touch the contact points of the carriage ribbon cable and BJ cartridge.
Electrostatic Discharge
Contact Points
Figure 1-6 Contact Section of the Carriage Ribbon Cable 2.2.3 Ink leakage precautions
Do not carry, pack or store the printer without a BJ cartridge installed. The ink within the purge unit may flow back and contaminate the inside of the printer. When packing up the printer, make sure the carriage is in the capping position (the right end of the platen).

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR SERVICE

3.1 EEPROM Data Precautions
The printer keeps track of various settings, the total waste ink amount, and the total sheets printed with the black, color and photo BJ cartridges. This data is stored in the EEPROM on the logic board. Note the following precautions during servicing: 1) Before servicing Check the EEPROM data with a test print. The total sheets printed can give you an idea of how much the printer has been used. 2) During logic board (EEPROM) replacement Always visually check the waste ink amount absorbed by the waste ink absorbers and replace them when necessary as explained in Part 5: 3.3 Logic Board and Bottom Cover Replacement Cautions (page 5-4). If the waste ink absorbers are not visually checked regularly, they may reach or exceed their full capacity before waste ink full is detected. The waste ink may therefore start leaking. The memory data for the replacement logic board (EEPROM) is not defined. Therefore, after replacing the logic board (and EEPROM), reset the total waste ink amount to zero by clearing the data. 3) After bottom cover unit replacement After replacing the bottom cover unit, reset the total waste ink amount to zero by clearing the EEPROM data.
CAUTION
After the EEPROM is reset, the data it contained cannot be printed out with a test printout. If you want to check the stored data, be sure to execute test printout before resetting the EEPROM. When the stored data is reset, the various settings, the total count of printed sheets, and the total waste ink amount will all be reset. The total sheets printed and waste ink amount cannot be input using the operation panel.
REF.
Immediately after the printer is turned on, it keeps track of the estimated waste ink amount based on the usage conditions. To prevent ink leakage when the waste ink amount exceeds the waste ink absorption capacity, the printer stops printing and indicates an error when the waste ink absorption capacity is close to being full. For details on checking the EEPROM data with a test printout and for clearing the data, see Part 3: 2.4 EEPROM Reset (page 3-13). If the printer stops operating in the case of a waste ink full error, follow the countermeasures described in Part 5: 4.1 Troubleshooting (page 5-5).

BJC-1000
3.2 Static Electricity Precautions

The electrostatic charge accumulated in clothing can damage electric elements and their characteristics. In order to prevent static electricity, touch a metallic part that is grounded to release the static electricity before disassembling the printer for servicing. Before discharging static electricity, do not touch electrical sections such as the logic board and contact points of the carriage ribbon cable (see Figure 1-6 ) when the carriage ribbon cable is connected to the logic board.

3.3 Disassembly and Reassembly Precautions
The printer is comprised of a large number of plastic parts. When disassembling the printer, take care not to break or bend plastic hooks. Some plastic parts contain glass fibers for extra rigidity and precision, but since their viscosity is low, plastic hooks can break easily when excessive force is used. Use a precision screwdriver, and do not pull plastic hooks with excessive force when unhooking them.
CAUTION
Never apply excessive force Hook when releasing a hook.
Figure 1-9 How to Release Plastic Hooks
3.4 Built-in Self-diagnostic Functions

The printer has built-in self-diagnostic functions to detect hardware defects. The results of self-diagnosis are indicated on the host computer's screen as an error. (The host computer should be set in nibble mode, and use the BJ status monitor under Windows 95/98.) For details, refer to Part 3: 2.1 Error Indications (Page 3-10).

1.3 BJ Cartridge 1.3.1 Color and Photo BJ cartridges
The color and photo BJ cartridges each contain 3 ink colors; yellow, magenta and cyan. With these 3 colors, composite black can be produced. The first 16 nozzles are for yellow, the following 8 nozzles are unused, the second 16 nozzles are for magenta, then 8 nozzles unused, and the third 16 nozzles are for cyan. They are lined vertically. When using the color or photo BJ cartridge, 360 (H) ! 360 (V) dpi printing is possible. Photo-like printing can be realized by using the photo BJ cartridge. Use the high resolution paper HR-101 when printing with photo BJ cartridge. Since the three color inks in the color and photo BJ cartridge are integrated, when one color ink runs out, the BJ cartridge must be replaced. Also, when more than 6 months have passed after the cartridge is unpacked, or if the printing quality is not improved even after cleaning the head over five times, replace the BJ cartridge.

Compatible Mode
STROBE [Input] This signal is used to read DATA1 to DATA8. The signal becomes valid after BUSY signal goes Low and the printer outputs an ACKNLG signal. The host computer does not send the next signal until it receives ACKNLG signal. It is normally High; after it goes Low, the printer receives data. When the signal remains Low, the printer does not operate until it goes High. DATA1 to 8 [Input] The printer receives data with the STROBE signal. The state of each bit of the signal must be maintained for at least 0.5 s from the rising edge of the STROBE signal. ACKNLG [Output] This signal is a response signal to the STROBE signal. The host computer does not send the next STROBE signal until this signal is sent. When the power is turned on or the BUSY signal goes Low for the input of the INIT signal, this signal is sent regardless of the STROBE signal. BUSY [Output] When this signal is High, the printer is BUSY; when Low, the printer is READY. The signal goes High when data is received, when the printer is offline, or when an error occurs (paper-out, paper jam). P.E. [Output] When the printer cannot feed paper, this signal goes High. Then BUSY signal goes High and the SELECT and FAULT signals go Low. The signal goes Low when the paper is set and the printer goes online. FAULT and SELECT signals then go High from Low. If paper is not ejected (paper jam) by executing paper eject command, this signal and BUSY signal go High, and SELECT and FAULT go Low. In this case, the signals do not change even if the paper is ejected.
2-10
BJC-1000
SELECT [Output] The printer is selected when this signal is High. The printer is deselected when this signal is Low. This signal goes Low when the printer is offline or when an error occurs (paper-out, paper jam, head error, etc.). AUTO FEED XT [Input] Not used. INIT [Input] INIT from the system resets the printer to its initial power-on state. In BJ mode, the BUSY signal goes High, and any received data is printed. In LQ mode, the BUSY signal goes High, and the print buffer is cleared. When INIT signal goes Low, it resets the printer to the power-on default state. FAULT [Output] This signal goes Low when the printer is in an error state (paper-out, paper jam, etc.). SELECT IN [Input] Not used.
Nibble Mode
Host Clk [Input] The STROBE signal is to read DATA 1 to DATA 8. Negotiation phase: Trigger signal to send the protocol confirmation to the printer. DATA 1-8 [Input] The printer receives data with the Host Clk signal. The state of each bit of this signal must be maintained for at least 0.5 s from the rising edge of the Host Clk signal. Ptr Clk [Output] Reverse data transmission phase: The printer requests the host computer to read the data by making the Ptr Clk signal Low. After finishing reading, the host computer notifies peripheral equipment of completion of data receiving by making the Host Busy signal High. Ptr Busy [Output] Reverse data transmission phase: Indicates bit 3 and bit 7 of the transmission data. Ack Data Req [Output] Reverse data transmission phase: Indicates bit 2 and bit 6 of the transmission data. Negotiation phase: Trigger signal to inform the host computer of the printers is condition (Whether it supports nibble mode or not, whether there is reverse transmission data or not). Xflag [Output] Reverse data transmission phase: Indicates bit 1 and bit 5 of the transmission data. Negotiation phase: Informs the host computer whether printer supports nibble mode or not, synchronizing with the falling edge of the Ack data Req signal. Low means that it supports nibble mode.
2-11
BJC-1000
Host Busy [Input] Reverse data transmission phase: Indicates that the host computer is ready to receive the data from the printer by making the Host Busy signal Low. After that, it goes High in synchronizing with Low pulse of Ptr Clk signal to verify receiving data. Reverse idle phase: The Host Busy signal goes High in response to the Low pulse of the Ptr Clk signal, and enters the reverse data transmission phase again. lNIT [Input] When this signal becomes Low, the printers state becomes BUSY. When the signal changes from Low to High, it resets the printer control system to the initial state. This signal is normally High and the pulse width must be at least 0.5 s at the printer side. After initializing, the printer enters the compatible mode. DataAvail [Output] Reverse data transmission phase: Indicates bit 0 and bit 4 of the transmission data. Negotiation phase: Informs the host computer if there is reverse transmission data or not in synchronizing with the falling edge of the Ack Data Req signal. L means that there is reverse transmission data. 1284 Active [Input] This signal confirms that the printer is a 1284 compatible device when 1284 Active signal goes High and Host Busy signal goes Low. It goes Low with the termination phase.

1.3.3 Installing the cartridge

Three types of cartridges can be installed in the printer: two color BJ cartridges and Black BJ cartridge. 1) Removing the BJ cartridge protectors Take out the BJ cartridge from the package, then remove the cap protecting the nozzles and gently peel off the protective tape as shown in the figure.
Figure 3-4 Removing the BJ Cartridge Protectors

Do not unpack the BJ cartridge until it is ready to be used. Do not reuse the cap and tape, as doing so can clog the nozzles or mix the ink colors. Do not touch the nozzles when removing the tape. Scratching the head face and ink contamination may result in poor printing. Never touch or wipe the nozzles with tissue paper, etc. to prevent them from clogging. To prevent foreign matter or dried ink from clogging the nozzles, install the BJ cartridge immediately in the printer or in the cartridge container after removing the cap and peeling off the tape. Clogged nozzles can cause white streaks across printed area. If this problem persists even after the ink cartridge is cleaned by the printer, replace the BJ cartridge. Do not shake the BJ cartridge after removing the cap and tape, as ink may leak from the cartridge. BJ cartridges cannot be disassembled, reassembled, or washed.

2.4 EEPROM Reset
The EEPROM records various settings, the data on the total number of sheets printed, and the total waste ink absorption amount for the color and black ink cartridges respectively. The total number of sheets printed and the total waste ink absorption amount can serve as a reference for how much the printer has been used. The EEPROM must be reset when the logic board or the bottom cover is replaced. See Part 5: 3.3 Logic Board and Bottom Cover Replacement Cautions (page 5-4), for details.
2.4.1 EEPROM Reset

"Waste ink full" is detected with the total waste ink absorption amount recorded in the EEPROM. When the ink absorber is replaced, the data on the total waste ink absorption amount in the EEPROM must be reset. Furthermore, when the logic board is replaced, the new logic board's EEPROM must be reset and the waste ink absorber must be also replaced at the same time. To reset the EEPROM, follow the procedure below. 1. Without the cartridge installed, connect the plug of the AC adapter to the AC outlet while holding down the RESUME button. 2. Release the RESUME button. Press it down again within five seconds and release it. 3. Hold down the RESUME button for two seconds or more and release it. 4.

1.2 Printing Signal Flow

The print signal flow from when the printer receives the print data to when printing is executed is described below. a) The print data, which include control signals, are output from the host computer, and are sent to the MPU & printer controller via an interface. b) The print data sent to the MPU & printer controller are then separated into control signals and bit image data. The control signals are processed into control commands based on the data stored inside the control ROM, and bit-mapped image data are organized inside the print buffer of the DRAM. c) The image data organized inside the print buffer are then moved to the MPU & printer controller, one line of each pass at a time. d) The image data moved to the MPU & printer controller are then converted to serial data, and are output to the BJ head as print signals. Inside the BJ head, the serial data are then converted into one column of parallel print data, thus allowing printing to be implemented. e) While performing check of the information (data) inside the control ROM, control of motor drivers, and detection of the BJ head and printer statuses, the MPU & printer controller works to control the entire print drive control system.

The control signals consist of the drive control signal for ejecting ink from the head's nozzles and the temperature control signal for adjusting the heads temperature so that the amount of ink ejected is uniform. To achieve optimum printing, both these control signals are optimized by the printer controller and sent to the BJ head through the carriage ribbon cable. The drive frequency varies depending on the printing mode and BJ cartridge type.
1.3.1 Printing drive control

a) Black BJ cartridge drive control The driving control of 64 nozzles in the black BJ cartridge is executed by the matrix structure of 8 COM signals and 8 SEG signals. The COM signal connects the COM1 to COM8 circuits to the head drive power supply (VH) in order that the 64 nozzles are ready to print in units of eight nozzles. While the COM signal is connected to the head drive power supply, the SEG signal connects the SEG circuits (SEG1 to SEG8) for the even- and odd-numbered nozzles to the ground, and applies the heater voltage to the heater plate. The load on the AC adapter is reduced and ink charging delay is prevented by driving the head in steps. The SEG signal has two pulses, pre-pulse and main pulse. The pre-pulse does not eject ink, but increases the head temperature to the appropriate value, and the main pulse ejects ink. The printer controls each pulse width to obtain the optimum print density according to the print speed and temperature. b) Color BJ cartridge drive control With exception of the following points, the head drive control of the color BJ cartridge is the same as that of the black BJ cartridge. The nozzle configuration of color BJ cartridge is different from that of black BJ cartridge, and the COM 1 and 2 signals are used for driving the nozzle heaters for C, COM 4 and 5 signals for M and COM 6 and 7 for Y. The color BJ cartridge has 16 nozzles each for Y, M, and C, whereas the black BJ cartridge has 64 nozzles for black only.

2.1 720 dpi Printing/Smoothing Feature
This features operates only with the black BJ cartridge.
2.1.1 Canon extension mode

In the Canon Extended mode, the printer driver creates 720 dpi data for the horizontal direction and sends it to the printer, resulting in high-quality printing. The printer driver smoothes the printed characters edges at 720 dpi along the horizontal direction. The 720 dpi data for the horizontal direction is sent to the printer and the edges are smoothed at a high resolution.

2.2 Printing Modes 2.2.1 Printing mode

Depending on the cartridge installed, the media, the printing mode, the resolution, the printing data, etc., the printer varies the carriage movement, bubble jet head driving frequency, etc., to attain high-quality printing without any bleeding or shifting in the printout. The smoothing function is available only when using the black BJ cartridge. When the 720 dpi printing/smoothing feature is used, the carriage feed pitch is set to 1/720 inch. Although this slows down the carriage speed, the bubble jet heads driving frequency (heat frequency) is increased so that the overall printing throughput decreases little. When monochrome printing is conducted using the color BJ cartridge, composite black is used as the color. Composite black is made from three colors of Y, M and C, and it is printed in 66.7% duty of each color, total approximately 200% duty. The boundary line is printed with 100% duty of each color, total 300% duty. This makes the black color look darker. With the photo BJ cartridge installed, this printer prints pixels by dividing the pixel data into a maximum of 4-values (no printed, print 1 dot, print 2 dots, print 3 dots). This method enables the printer to achieve high degree gradation printing. When printing with 2 dots, the second dot is printed in the 720 dpi position. When printing with 3 dots, the second dot is printed in the 720 dpi position while the third dot is printed on top of the first dot. When monochrome printing using the photo BJ cartridge, printing is conducted at a maximum total (C/Y/M) of 400% duty, but the boundary lines are not emphasized. The printing method for the respective printing modes are listed below.

2.3 Optimum Printing Direction Control
To prevent vertical misalignment of the printed characters, etc., when print data is printed continuously in the direction of the paper feeding direction, printing is executed with the carriage moving in only one direction. However, when printing in the paper feeding direction is not continuous, since vertical misalignment is not so noticeable, the printing direction is alternated so that printing is also executed from the opposite carriage direction. This improves the throughput. If four or more successive null rasters are detected in the lower (in the direction of paper ejection) 24 nozzles for the printing data in the printer buffer during single-pass printing, printing is executed up to the null raster. From the null raster onward, printing is executed from the opposite carriage direction. From the next raster onward, printing is executed from the same carriage direction until the direction changes again.

Figure 4-6 Printer's Mechanical Configuration 3.1.1 Mechanical components

1) BJ cartridge The printer can use three types of BJ cartridges: black, color, and photo. The user installs the black, color, or photo BJ cartridge according to the required application. All these cartridges are ink-disposable. 2) Purge unit Driven by the carriage motor, the purge unit helps to maintain high-quality printing by capping and wiping the BJ cartridges bubble jet face. It ensures that the ink in the nozzles is ejected easily. When the printer is not in use, the purge unit caps the BJ cartridges nozzles for protection. 3) Carriage unit Driven by the carriage motor, the carriage moves horizontally across the paper. Through the carriage ribbon cable, the printing signals from the logic board are transmitted to the BJ cartridge in the carriage. By controlling the purge unit's slide lock pin, the carriage controls the engagement of the paper feed motors drive power between the paper feed/purge unit and the sheet feeder.

4) Paper feed mechanism and sheet feeder The built-in sheet feeder is driven by the paper feed motor. Plain paper as well as coated paper, transparencies, back print film, envelopes, etc., can be loaded and fed automatically into the paper feed mechanism. Driven by the paper feed motor, the paper feed mechanism rotates the feed rollers to feed the paper vertically. When printing transparencies and back print film, remove each sheet immediately after it is printed. This is to allow enough time for the ink to dry. The paper ejection operation of this printer is performed using the RESUME button.

3.2 BJ Cartridge 3.2.1 Black BJ cartridge structure

The black BJ cartridge has a printing head equipped with 64 nozzles. The printing head and ink cartridge are built-in. 1) Side cover This plastic cover is fixed to the cartridge body to prevent ink leaking from the ink sponge. 2) Ink sponge This sponge is soaked with black ink. It is compressed and stored in the cartridge body. 3) Cartridge body This is a plastic case which links the ink sponge with the bubble jet head unit via the ink filter. 4) Air Hole with Pressure Regulation Cap As the ink is consumed, the pressure inside the cartridge decreases compared to the atmospheric pressure. This makes it more difficult for the ink to be supplied to the head. To prevent this, the ink cartridge has an air intake for maintaining a constant pressure inside the cartridge body. 5) Bubble jet head unit As dictated by the printing signals received through the signal contact, ink is ejected through the 64 bubble jet nozzles. 6) Head cover The plastic head cover protects the bubble jet head unit.

3.2.2 Color/Photo BJ cartridge structure
The color/photo BJ cartridge has a printing head equipped with 64 nozzles through which the three ink colors are ejected (16 nozzles each for yellow, magenta, and cyan). The printing head and ink cartridge are built-in. 1) Side cover This plastic cover is fixed to the cartridge body to prevent ink leaking from the ink sponge. 2) Ink sponges Each color ink (yellow, magenta, cyan) is soaked in its respective sponge. The yellow, magenta, and cyan ink sponges are compressed and stored in the cartridge body. 3) Cartridge body This is a plastic case which links the ink sponge with the bubble jet head unit via the ink filter. 4) Air Hole with Pressure Regulation Caps As the ink is consumed, the pressure inside the cartridge decreases compared to the atmospheric pressure.

3.2.3 Bubble head unit structure

1) Bubble jet nozzles The ink in the sponge passes through a mesh-type ink filter and flows to the bubble jet nozzles through the joint pipe. When the head-driving current is supplied to the heater board, and multiple ink bubbles form. Eventually, only one ink bubble is formed. The head-driving current is turned off before the ink drop leaves the nozzle. The bubbling however continues with the residual heat and the ink drops are ejected from the nozzles. After an ink drop is ejected, the nozzle is filled with ink supplied from the ink sponge.
NOTE
The print heads heater board uses semiconductor technology with the heater and circuitry built on a silicon plate. This silicon plate, which contains various electrical circuitry, is attached to an aluminum base. The plastic cover, which is shaped to fit the nozzles, is also attached.

6) Temperature control The optimum temperature of the BJ cartridge ink for high quality printing is about 23C (73.4F). The bubble jet head unit has warm-up heaters on the silicon plate. The black BJ cartridge, furthermore, has temperature sensors, but they are not used. The printer controls the temperature by varying the heat pulse width (pre/main pulse width) of the SEG signal and turning the warm-up heaters on and off. The ambient temperature is detected by the temperature sensor on the printer logic board, not by the temperature sensors on the silicon plate. If it is 16C (61F) or less, the bubble jet head unit nozzles are warmed by the warm-up heaters.

7) BJ cartridge detection feature The presence or absence of the BJ cartridge is always monitored. The contact between the terminal of the warm-up heater in the BJ cartridge and the carriage is checked. 8) BJ cartridge recognition feature Whether the cartridge is a black, color, or photo BJ cartridge, it is determined by pins #11 and #15 on the J1 connector on the printer logic board. Cartridge types can be distinguished with combinations of pins #11 and #15 as shown in the table below. Pin No. 11 15 Signal name ID1 ID2 Black High Low Cartridge type Color Low High Photo High High
9) Print density control This printer controls the quantity of ink ejected so it prints at constant density. It does this by predicting the change in the head temperature while printing and using the predicted temperature. The quantity of ink ejected from the nozzles is controlled to obtain the optimum print density by controlling the heat pulse width (pre/main pulse width) every 50 ms based on the following information: the ambient temperature sensed by the temperature sensor on the logic board; the number of dots printed by the printer; the head temperature predicted from the switch-on time of the warm-up heater; and the head rank ID for correcting production variations of the bubble jet head unit (the heater drive voltage is fixed at 27.6 V DC).

3.3 Purge Unit 3.3.1 Purge unit functions
1) Capping function The purge unit's cap is pressed against the face of the print head to prevent the ink from drying out or leaking. If print data is not received for 60 seconds or more during a printing operation, the purge unit wipes the printing head face. If print data is still not received for another 60 seconds, the purge unit caps the printing head. Other than during a printing operation, if print data is not received after a certain period of time (varies between 5 to 20 seconds), the purge unit caps the print head. 2) Cleaning function The cleaning operation includes the wiping of paper and ink residue that has adhered to the printing head's face plate. It also sucks out ink from the printing head to replenish the inside of the nozzles with fresh ink. The amount of ink consumed by the cleaning operation is as follows. Black BJ Cartridge installed : 0.12 g Color BJ Cartridge or Photo BJ Cartridge installed : 0.21 g To maintain high printing quality, the purge unit cleans the printing head at the following times: After the AC power cord is connected. After the BJ cartridge is replaced. Before the printing operation is performed and it has been 72 hours since the last time the head was cleaned. When the printed dot count exceeds the set value. When the RESUME button is pressed down for 2 seconds or more.

3.3.2 Purge unit structure

1) Purge drive gear The purge drive gear which is driven by the transmission gear activates the cam controlling the pumping operation. The transmission gear is rotated by the paper feed roller which is driven by the paper feed motor. The cam's position is detected by the home position sensor via the sensor arm. 2) Wiper unit When the carriage moves from left to right, the wiper retracts so that it does not touch the head. However, when the carriage moves from right to left, the wiper wipes off the ink from the BJ cartridge's face plate at the following times: when the printer is turned on, once every 60 seconds (or after a set dot count is reached) during printing, when the paper feed operation ends, when the pumping operation ends, and when the cap is opened or closed. 3) Cap unit The cap unit has a rubber cap. When the carriage moves to the home position, the cap unit is pressed against the print head's face plate to cap it. Also, since the cap is connected to a pump, the cap sucks ink out of the BJ cartridge during the pumping operation. The ink which has been sucked out is sent to the bottom cover unit's waste ink absorber. 4) Maintenance jet absorber The maintenance jet absorber at the home position absorbs the ink ejected from the nozzles for a test to adjust the nozzles in the following cases: when the printer is turned on, during printing, when wiping occurs during printing, when paper feeding ends, when the pumping operation ends, and when the cap opens. 5) Slide lock pin The slide lock pin moves the cap when the carriage moves from left to right and reaches the capping position. Capping is thereby executed and the slide arm is unlocked. When the slide arm is unlocked, the feed roller's rotation is transmitted to the purge drive gear and sheet feeder.

3.4 Carriage 3.4.1 Carriage functions
1) Print head installation The carriage holds the BJ cartridge mechanically with the carriage ribbon cable, and is connected to the circuit on the logic board. 2) Carriage driver Driven by the carriage motor and carriage belt, the carriage moves across the paper horizontally. 3) Paper thickness adjustment With the paper thickness lever at the top of the carriage, the gap between the paper and printing head can be adjusted. 4) Paper feed motor driver When the carriage moves to the cleaning position at the right end, the slide arm is unlocked. The paper feed motor's drive power, normally used for paper feeding during printing, can be diverted to drive the purge unit and sheet feeder.

3.4.2 Carriage structure

1) BJ cartridge mounting section The cartridge holder moves with the locking lever which secures the BJ cartridge onto the carriage. When a BJ cartridge is secured onto the carriage, the ribbon cable's signal contacts are pressed against the bubble jet head's signal contacts, enabling signals to be transmitted from the logic board. 2) Carriage driver The stepping-type carriage motor drives the carriage horizontally across the paper by the carriage belt. After the photo interrupter type home position sensor behind the carriage detects the home position edge as the initial position, the carriage is controlled by the stepping pulse sent to the carriage motor. The carriage motor is driven by a one to two-phase exciter at a fixed current. Also, if a vertically-oriented line, etc., is printed from both carriage directions, it will appear to be crooked or misaligned due to mechanical reasons. However, if the vertically-oriented line is disjointed or not continuous, any misalignment will not be that noticeable and printing is executed from both carriage directions. The slightlyoff timing of the detected home position edge is automatically corrected with the software. 3) Paper thickness setting When envelopes or thick paper are fed for printing, they will rub against the head face causing possible damage and paper contamination. This can be prevented by using the proper paper thickness setting. The gap between the head and paper must be set to the optimum setting (one of two settings) to match the thickness of paper being fed. This gap is adjusted by changing the angle of the carriage guide frame and the carriage attachment angle. The gap between the platen and head thereby changes.

4) Switching the paper feed motor drive transmission The paper feed motor drives either the paper feed, purge unit, or cut sheet feeder according to the position of the carriage. When the carriage is not at the right end, the slide arm is locked by the purge unit's slide lock pin. In this condition, the paper feed is driven by the feed roller. When the carriage is at the capping position, the slide arm is unlocked and the paper feed motor drives the purge unit and sheet feeder. When the slide arm is unlocked and the feed roller rotates in the feeding direction, the slide arm rotates until it reaches the cut sheet feeder gear to drive the gear. When the slide arm is unlocked and the feed roller is rotated in the opposite direction of the feeding direction, the slide arm rotates until it reaches the purge drive gear to drive the gear.

3.5 Paper Feed 3.5.1 Outline of the paper feed

1) Paper feed mechanism The paper feed mechanism supplies paper from the built-in cut-sheet feeder. The built-in cut sheet feeder is driven by the paper feed motor. Paper stacked in the sheet feeder is picked up and fed automatically. Even thick paper like envelopes can be fed automatically without selecting the paper type mechanically with the paper selection lever. When the paper is sensed by the paper end sensor, it is fed automatically by the paper feed roller until it reaches the starting position for printing on the platen. During printing, the paper is fed by the rotation of the paper feed roller. The paper, after printing, is delivered by the eject roller. 2) Paper feed operation It is not possible to perform paper feed operations with the printer, however, paper ejection can be performed with the RESUME button.

3.5.2 Structure of the sheet feeder
This printer has no paper selection lever on the cut sheet feeder. If the paper meets specifications, it can be fed without selecting the paper type. The paper is loaded in the cut sheet feeder such that a corner of it is caught by the paper separator. When printing starts, the pick-up roller starts to rotate through the drive of the paper feed motor. Plain paper is fed with its corner held by the paper separator, and then pushed into the paper feed section. When printing on thick paper like envelopes, as the paper is stiffer than the return force of the paper separator's spring, the paper separator is pressed down to feed the paper. The initial position of the pick-up roller is detected when the flag is sensed by the pick-up roller sensor on the logic board. When paper is sensed by the paper end sensor for over a second, it is fed automatically until it reaches the starting position for printing. When the paper pick-up operation is executed, if no paper is sensed, it is executed again. If the paper is still not sensed, it is assessed as a paper feed error.

4.2.2 Logic section components

1) MPU & Printer controller (IC1) The MPU & Printer controller contains a 16-bit CPU, 1K-bit RAM, 20-bit address bus port, 16-bit data bus port, stepping motor controller, A-D converter, interface controller, DRAM controller, buffer controller, print head controller, I/O port, and other components. MPU & Printer controller is synchronized with 16 MHz and 22.11 MHz external clock input. Built-in CPU The 16-bit CPU generates the 8 MHz clock from the 16 MHz external clock input and is synchronized with the clock. Address bus The 20-bit address bus port is connected to an 8 M-bit control ROM and printer controller. Data bus Like the address bus, the 16-bit data bus port is connected to the 8 M-bit control ROM. Stepping motor controller The stepping motor controller outputs the carriage motor's single- and two-phase exciter drive signal and paper feed motor's two-phase exciter drive signal. The stepping motor controller switches the carriage motor with the 5-step peak current value for optimum driving. The stepping motor controller outputs the switching control signal to the carriage motor driver. A-D converter The A-D converter digitally converts the following external analog signals received/sent through the I/O port to enable them to be detected by the MPU & printer controller: AN0: The printer's internal temperature is detected by the thermistor on the logic board. AN1: It detects whether the BJ cartridge is installed in the printer, or not. AN2: It monitors the VH voltage which drives the head of the cartridge. AN3: The head rank is detected by the rank resistor in the BJ cartridge. Interface controller The interface controller receives from the computer, 8-bit parallel data which is synchronized with the data strobe pulse (STROBE) through the BUSY/ACKNLG handshake. It also controls other interface signals. DRAM controller The DRAM controller controls the 1 M bit DRAM's 8-bit addressbus and 16-bit data bus and also executes read/write control, RAS/CAS control, and refresh control.

BJC-1000
Buffer controller The buffer controller automatically reads the print buffer, and clears the data after it is read. Print head controller The print head controller counts the number of dots of the bit map print data read from the DRAM print buffer to control the heat pulse width (pre/main pulse width), converts it to the COM and SEG signals for 8 x 8 matrix printing control, and controls heating of the heater plate of the bubble jet nozzles of the BJ cartridge. I/O port Signals for the setting statuses determined by the RESUME button, head ID, paper end sensor, home position sensor, pick-up roller sensor, head rank resistor, thermistor, and head-driving voltage (VH) monitor are input through the input ports. Signals for operations such as BJ cartridge detection and head-driving voltage control are output from the output ports. 2) Control ROM (IC3) The 8 M-bit control ROM contains the program for printer control. 3) DRAM (IC4) Controlled by the printer controller, the 1 M-bit DRAM is used as print buffer and working area. 4) Reset IC (IC7) This IC detects the power voltage when power on or instantaneous power failure occur and resets the MPU & Printer controller. 5) EEPROM (IC8) Controlled by the printer controller, the 1 K-bit EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable ROM) stores various function settings, the total count of printed sheets, and the total waste ink amount. 6) Paper feed motor driver IC (IC6) Controlled by the MPU & Printer controller, the paper feed motor driver drives the paper feed motor (controlled by the two-phase exciter) with a constant-voltage unipolar drive. The driver IC has four same circuits. 7) Carriage motor driver IC (IC12) Controlled by the MPU & Printer controller, the carriage motor driver drives the carriage motor (controlled by the one to two-phase exciter) with a fixed current bipolar drive. In accordance with the switching signal from the MPU & Printer controller, the peak current value is set to five steps and driven. The driver IC has two same circuits.

5. SENSOR FUNCTIONS
The printer has a pick-up roller sensor, paper end sensor, home position sensor (purge sensor), printer temperature sensor, and head temperature sensor. Also, the EEPROM counts and records the waste ink absorption amount. When the waste ink absorber becomes full, the waste ink absorption amount indicates an error.

BJ Cartridge
Paper End Sensor Flag
Home Position Sensor (Purge Sensor)
Pick-up Roller Sensor
Figure 4-26 Sensors 5.1 Pick-up Roller Sensor

The photo interrupter-type pick-up roller sensor detects the initial position of the sheet feeder's pick-up roller. When the initial position is detected, the flag interrupts the sensor.
5.2 Paper End Sensor

The photo interrupter-type paper end sensor detects with the paper sensor arm's flag when a sheet of paper passes through the paper feeding mechanism. When the flag interrupts the sensor, the sensor does not detect the paper. When the flag does not interrupt the sensor, the sensor detects the paper.
5.3 Home Position Sensor (Purge Sensor)

The photo interrupter-type home position sensor senses the home position edge and detects the carriage position. After the edge is detected, the carriage moves to the right. At the home position, the maintenance jet is executed. Also, at the capping position, the on/off of the home position sensor (purge sensor) flag during the recovery operation is detected.
4-28
BJC-1000
5.4 Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is a thermistor which detects the printer's internal temperature. The thermistor's resistance changes along with any temperature changes. The change in the resistance is detected as a change in the voltage by the MPU & Printer controller. The analog value input to the MPU & Printer controller is converted into a digital value by the internal A-D converter. The temperature is thereby detected. After the printer temperature is detected, the head-driving and head temperature adjustment signal are controlled accordingly.
5.5 Waste Ink Amount Detection

Waste ink is discharged for head maintenance and absorbed by the waste ink absorber. If the amount of waste ink discharged exceeds the absorption capacity of the waste ink absorber, ink might leak from the printer. To prevent ink from leaking, the waste ink absorber capacity is estimated and detected when full. The waste ink is discharged during maintenance jet and recovery. The amount of waste ink discharged is estimated by counting the number of maintenance jet and recovery. Then the waste ink amount with evaporated ink is calculated. When the calculated waste ink amount exceeds the capacity of the waste ink absorber, a waste ink-full error occurs.

BJC-1000
3.3 Logic Board and Bottom Cover Replacement Cautions 3.3.1 Logic board replacement cautions
The various settings, waste ink amount, and other data stored in the logic boards EEPROM cannot be rewritten into the new EEPROM after the logic board is replaced. The data in the new logic boards EEPROM is not set. After the logic board/EEPROM is replaced, reset the EEPROM as described in Part 3: 2.4 EEPROM Reset (page 3-13). When replacing the logic board, visually check the amount of waste ink in the waste ink absorber. Replace the bottom cover if necessary. Depending on the amount of waste ink already absorbed, ink may leak even before a waste ink-full error warning appears. However, it is not necessary to replace it if the printer has been used for less than 2 weeks and less than 50 pages have been printed out.
Waste Ink Absorber
Figure 5-2 Bottom Cover 3.3.2 Cautions after replacing the bottom cover
After a waste ink-full error occurs and the bottom cover are replaced, reset the EEPROM. When a waste ink-full error occurs, it can be assumed that the printer has printed more sheets than its service life called for. However, this depends on how many times the cartridge has been replaced and the usage conditions. When a color BJ cartridge is used, more ink is consumed due to head maintenance as compared to a black BJ cartridge. Therefore, the waste ink amount will also be more.
