SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3. PRINTER SECTION 3.1 Overview of the Printer's Mechanical Parts The printer's mechanical parts consist of the BJ cartridge, carriage, purge section, and paper feed section. Each part is explained below. Carriage Paper Feed Section Purge Figure 2-5 Printer's Mechanical Parts 2-6 Download Free Service Manual And Resetter Printer at http://printer1.blogspot.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.1.1 Carriage The carriage holds one BJ cartridge in place. The carriage belt driven by the carriage motor (DC motor) moves the carriage horizontally back and forth across the paper. Regarding the carriage's position control, the initial position is detected when the carriage goes against the right wall which is the home position. After that, the carriage position is detected by reading the pulse from the encoder film.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.2 Paper Feed Section 3.2.1 Paper feed components The auto sheet feeder separates recording paper by rotating the separation roller in the opposite direction of pickup. Compared with other auto sheet feeders, it shows better separation performance.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.2.2 Paper transport section In the printing block, the gap between print paper and the print head is kept at a specific distance by forcing the paper against the platen between the pressure roller and the paper feed roller and also between the spurs and the eject roller. When the paper has been moved as far as the print start position, printing starts on the platen. 3.2.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.3 Ink residual quantity detection The machine is not equipped with a sensor used to detect the level of ink remaining in its tank. The absence of such a sensor is made up for by counting the dots in a deposit.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.4 Purge Section 3.4.1 Purge section functions In order to maintain good printing quality, the purge section maintains the BJ cartridge's nozzles. The purge section's functions consist of capping and cleaning. a) Capping The purge unit's cap is pressed against the print head's face to protect the nozzles from dust, etc., and to prevent the nozzles from drying out.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.4.2 Purge section components Wiper Cap Cleaner Purge Motor Figure 2-8 Purge Section Components a) Purge driving motor The purge motor drives the wiper, carriage lock, and pump. It is a constant-voltage motor operating with a 1-2 phase drive. b) Wiper The wiper consists of a wiper and wiper cleaner. The wiping operation is executed while the carriage is fixed at the purge section.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 2: Technical Reference 3.5 Ink Suction Amount in the Cleaning Mode The machine has five cleaning modes (A to G). Cleaning is executed for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. The cleaning operation is selected depending on the respective condition. The ink suction operation differs depending on the condition at three occasions: Operation by the user, cover open/ closing, and before printing starts.

SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 3: Assembly and Disassembly 1. ATTENTION TO BE PAID DURING ASSEMBLY/ DISASSEMBLY 1.1 Safety Cautions Electrical shock In order to prevent any risk of electrical shock, always be sure to check that the power cord and modular jack have been removed. Also, remove all cables connecting to the computer. When conducting service that requires the main unit to be powered on, be sure to wear some kind of earthing, such as a wrist strap, etc.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 3: Assembly and Disassembly 1.2 General Cautions Damage due to electrostatic discharge This machine contains contact sensors and printed circuit boards that use ROMs, RAMs, custom chips and other electronic components that are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge. Be careful to avoid any damage from electrostatic discharge when conducting service that requires disassembly.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 3: Assembly and Disassembly 1.3 Product-Inherent Cautions Prevention of ink-soiling Be careful when handling the BJ ink cartridge nozzle, the ink pad, head cap, head wiper and waste ink pad. Residual ink may soil the main unit, working surfaces, your hands and clothes, etc. The ink is watersoluble, but because it contains pigments, it will not wash out of clothes.
SmartBase MPC200/imageCLASS MPC200 Chapter 3: Assembly and Disassembly 1.5 Transporting the machine If you must transport the machine as when returning it after repair work, be sure to perform the following work: (a) Mount the BJ cartridge (printer head) to the carriage. (b) Turn off the printer so that the carriage locks at the home position. If the BJ cartridge (print head) is not on the carriage, the ink may dry and harden.
