The sensors used in the carriage moving unit are described below.

CR_HP Sensor (Carriage Home Position)
This is a transmissive photosensor which is mounted on the right end of the printer
mechanism and detects the entry position of the flag (projection) provided on the
carriage as the carriage moving home position. Outputs from this sensor are
“OFF” in the HP range and “ON” outside the HP range.
CR encoder sensor (Linear Encoder)
This encoder is mounted on the back of the carriage and outputs pulses (2
channels) corresponding to the position of the slit on the timing fence that is
incorporated into the CR guide rail which are used for CR motor servo control and
PTS (Print Timing Signal) generation. The resolution is 1/180 inch.

PRINT HEAD

Stylus Pro 7600/9600 employs a single print head which incorporates both functions
for black and color. (The preceding model has two print heads, namely, head B and
head C.)
The print head incorporates a thermistor. According to the temperature around the head
detected by the thermistor, the CPU on the Main Board controls the ink discharge
speed and the amount of ink to be discharged.

PLATEN GAP ADJUSTMENT UNIT
In order to maintain the print precision, it is necessary to maintain the carriage (= head)
mounting position so that it is always a constant distance from the surface of the paper.
In this printer, the print head nozzle surfaces and platen surface are variable
mechanisms so that the gap between the paper printing surface and the head nozzle
surface can be kept constant. Sub-carriage
(head mounted)
The carriage has a 2-body construction with a sub-carriage on which the print heads are
PG (Head SLID)
mounted attached to the carriage which forms the base. The sub-carriage moves in the
Slide Gear
vertical direction with respect to the paper surface. This movable system uses a cam.
The sub-carriage to paper surface distance changes linearly from the cam (= PG) home
position. When the carriage is in the HP position (= right end), the pump motor and the
gear mounted on the cam shaft engage, the motor's rotation (reverse) drives the cam
Pump motor driving
and the sub-carriage is positioned at the proper gap position. HD_SLID
force (CCW)
Sensor
In order to maintain the distance between the print head nozzle surface and the paper
properly, the thicknesses of the paper used are classified into 3 levels for PG setting,
namely, PG small (1.3 mm), PG medium (2.2 mm) and PG large (2.7 mm). HP Detection Flag
The sensors used in the platen gap adjustment unit are explained below.

P_EDGE (Paper Width Detection) Sensor Carriage

This sensor, mounted at the left side of the cutter unit of the carriage, detects paper
edges by moving the carriage.
It detects four points of paper edges, namely, left and right points on the front edge
Left edge Right edge
and a front point on the left and right edges of the paper. Each position is
calculated from the difference in reflection value between the platen and the paper.
A reflective type photosensor is used. Each paper edge position (presence or
absence of paper) is determined by an A/D converted value of the output from the
Scanning of HP side → Scanning of opposite side
photosensor. Opposite side → HP side
During printing, the sensor monitors the left and right edges of the paper to detect
a skew. P_EDGE Sensor

The paper must be free from floating at the detection point.
If external light, such as sunlight, can enter the sensor due to
the construction, mis-detection must be prevented by LED ON/
OFF control.
(Same as with Stylus Pro 7000)
In Stylus Pro 7600/9600, the P_EDGE Sensor works also to
detect the paper front edge. (Stylus Pro 7600/9600 does not
have the P_FRONT Sensor for exclusive use to detect the paper
front edge which is incorporated in the conventional printer
models.)

P-Rear sensor
The following sensors aid in the paper feeding process.
P_REAR sensor
This sensor is attached to the Upper Paper Guide and is an optical (photo-
reflective) sensor. This sensor detects the rear edge of the paper and detects the
front edge when the paper is first loaded in the paper path. The position of this
sensor is stored in EEPROM.
Paper set lever, paper thickness detection (P_THICK, P_THICK_0.3)
P_THICK_0.3 Sensor: Transmission type photosensor, left side.
P_THICK Sensor: Transmission type photosensor, right side.
The mechanism is so designed that the threshold values for paper thickness are 0.3 ~
0.4 mm (P_THICK_0.3 sensor) and 0.8 ~ 0.9 mm (P_THICK sensor). The sensors
operate just when the pressure lever is brought down.
The designed detection values of the sensors for the UP and DOWN positions of the
pressure lever are 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm. The pressure lever in the UP position is
detected by a combination of both sensors.
“Thick paper state” occurs when the connections are open.
There is no error processing since this mechanism can not determine whether it has
broke down or not. Figure 2-13. Paper Feed Mechanical Unit (Stylus Pro 7600) 2/2

2.2.3 Cleaning Mechanism Cleaning Mechanism

(Maintenance ASSY)
The cleaning mechanism in this printer is compatible with the cleaning mechanism in
the Stylus Pro 5000/9000. The cleaning mechanism is located on the right side of the
printer. The waste ink from the cleaning mechanism is channeled to the waste ink pad
(Maintenance Tank) in the lower right side through the tube.
The cleaning mechanism components are installed above the sub-frame and some are
fixed on the main frame as shown below.
Pump assembly (head cleaner)
When the head is in the capped position (valve closed), the pump motor creates a
vacuum that sucks ink from the nozzles. This is used for removing ink from the
nozzles and nozzle plate, initial ink charge, as well as cleaning. The waste ink
flows through one small tube to the waste ink pads.
Head cleaner
The head cleaner has felt on one side and rubber on the other, and is used to wipe
or rub off ink and foreign materials from the nozzle surface.
Pump motor (stepping motor)
The pump motor runs normally (the pump wheel turns clockwise as viewed from the
pump wheel side) and reverses (the pump wheel turns counterclockwise) to execute the Maintenance Tank

Ink Initial Filling • This is the operation where the head is filled with ink for the first
time. When the first ink cartridge is inserted (after all 6 colors have
been inserted), the ink initial filling operation is performed
automatically.
• The initial filling flag is set when the printer is shipped from the
factory, then after this operation, the initial filling flag is reset. The
initial filling flag is also set after the “ Input Rank” (p232) is run.
Flushing • In order to prevent the viscosity of the ink inside the head nozzles
from increasing, the ink inside the flushing box is flushed out.
• Flushing is done when paper is set, when printing from the standby
state, during continuous printing, during paper Eject, during paper
cutting, etc.

4.4.3 Cautions when replacing the PF Loop Scale PF Loop Scale Base
4.4.3.1 Assembly Procedure for the PF Loop Scale ASSY

When assembling the PF loop scale unit, the following exclusive tool should be used.
Exclusive tool No.#F730 : FPF Loop Scale Assembly Base Protective backing
(Code: 1051765)
The assembly procedure is shown below.
1. Set the exclusive tool, #F730 as shown in the figure below, then set the PF loop scale
base part with the double sided tape side facing up.
#F730 tool
2. Peel the protective backing off the double sided tape to the PF loop scale base.
3. Affix the PF loop scale carefully to the PF loop scale base with the PF loop scale
printed surface downward, aligning it precisely with the PF loop scale base. Figure 4-53. #F730 tool and PF Loop Scale Base
4. Peel the protective backing off the other side of the double sided tape and affix the tape
so that it is within the black circle on the unprinted side of the PF loop scale ASSY.
Wrong direction
Loop Scale set direction

C A U T IO N Care should be taken so as not to damage the internal diameter
of the PF loop scale.
There is no problem if the PF loop scale's affixing position on
the PF loop scale base deviates somewhat. The important
control point is that the inside diameter of the PF loop scale not
PF Loop Scale
be damaged. Base
Exclusive #F730 tool
Figure 4-54. PF Loop Scale Set
4.4.3.2 PF Loop Scale ASSY Affixing Procedure

Double sided tape
When assembling the PF loop scale unit, the following exclusive tool should be used.
Exclusive tool No.#F731 : PF Loop Scale Affixing tool
(Code: 1051767) Protective backing
The assembly procedure is given below.

1. Set the PF loop scale ASSY's double sided tape side on the grid roller side, align the
internal diameter of the PF loop scale with the left end of the grid roller (PF roller) and
set it lightly.
C A U T IO N At this point, the PF loop scale ASSY should not be fitted on the
grid roller as far as it can go. If the PF loop scale ASSY is placed on
the grid roller by hand, it could damage the PF loop scale ASSY's Figure 4-55. Affixing the Double Sided Tape to the PF Loop Scale
internal diameter and the distance from the center of the grid roller
to the scale reading part would not be the same all around any
more, resulting in a drop in the encoder sensor's reading accuracy.
2. Press the exclusive tool #F731 against the PF loop scale ASSY from the outside, then
insert the grid roller in as far as the base plate carefully, and affix it.

Maintenance Overview 274

6.1.1 Periodic Maintenance Items and Product Life

Information
Periodic Maintenance Items
The printer uses sensors and counters to determine when consumable items need to be
replaced. When a consumable part has reached its predetermined end-of-life according
to the corresponding counter, a message appears. See Table 6-1 for parts which require
periodic replacement.
Product Life Information

Table 6-1 shows the product life about the printer body, each mechanism and various
parts. Information regarding to the product life can be checked by the following way.
Panel Setting: “Printer Status Menu”
The amount of ink remaining is indicated on the LCD. (“F*****E” - F = full, E =
empty, and each asterisk * represents a percentage of the total ink.)
Also, the counters which record these values can be initialized by “Maintenance
Mode 2”.
C A U T IO N Do not perform the counter initialization without replacing the

corresponding parts and checking their operation. Since the
counters for “Waste Ink Life” and “Ink Remaining Quantity”
influence printer operations, do not clear them unnecessarily.
