    STYLUS 800 Service Manual 2.1 OVERVIEW This section describes the operating principles of the printer mechanism and the electrical circuits of the Stylus 800. 2.2 OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF THE PRINTER MECHANISM The Stylus 800 printer mechanism is composed of the printhead unit, paper feed mechanism, carriage drive mechanism, pump mechanism, and various sensors.
  • Page 28 The printer mechanism of this printer uses a drop-on-demand ink jet system similar to the system used on all other Epson ink jet printers. However, the printhead in this system is completely redesigned to make it compact and highly reliable. The figure below shows the structure of the printhead and ink supply system.
  • Page 29 STYLUS 800 Service Manual Principles of the Printing Operation The operation of the printhead to inject ink from each nozzle is: (1) Normal state No electrical charge is applied to the MLP (Multi-Layer Piezoelectric) element attached to the back of the cavity, and pressure inside the cavity is kept at constant level. Nozzl (2) Injecting state The head data signal is applied to the specific nozzle control line to select the active nozzle for...

    4-phase, 200-pole, hybrid-type stepping printer to stop the carriage or change the carriage movement at any position. The position of the carriage is recognized by the home position sensor and position information is fed back to the carriage drive control circuit to determine the motor phase switching mode.

  • Page 31: Paper Feed Mechanism

    Paper Feed Mechanism 2.2.3 This printer’s paper feed mechanism can feed paper either from the built-in ASF (auto sheet feeder) or the manual feed slot. The paper feed drive motor is a 4-phase, 4t3-pole, PM-type stepping motor that directly drives the paper feed mechanism (paper advancing operation, paper pick-up operation).

  • Page 32: Ink System

    Operating Principles 2.2.4 Ink System This printer’s ink system is composed of the following mechanisms: Ink cartridge Pump mechanism E Cap mechanism H Printhead cleaning mechanism Waste ink drain tank The figure below shows a diagram of the ink system.

  • Page 33: Pump Mechanism

    STYLUS 800 Service Manual 2.2.5 Pump Mechanism The paper feed motor drives the pump mechanism when the transmission gear is moved to the position where the paper feed motor engages the pump mechanism gear trains, when the carriage unit is at the ink system home Pump system operation depends on the rotational direction of the paper feed drive motor, as shown in table below.
  • Page 34 The pump draws ink from the printhead nozzles and drains it into the waste ink drain tank. The printer performs this operation to eliminate dust or bubbles within the nozzles. Figure 2-9 illustrates the pump operation. When the paper feed drive motor rotates CW (forward), the pulley pumps in the wheel pump unit rotate in the direction of the arrow while squeezing the ink tube to push the ink inside the tube out to the waste ink drain tank.

  • Page 35: Cap Mechanism

    The printhead capping operation is performed automatically nozzle while the printer is not so that a cap closely contacts the printhead surface when the carriage unit is moved to the ink system home position.

  • Page 36: Operating Principles Of The Electrical Circuitries

    2.3.1 Operating Principles of the Power Supply Circuit The power supply circuitry for this printer is provided either by the C106 PSB BOARD (120 VAC) or the C106 PSE BOARD (220-240 VAC). Both boards are identical in design and functionality, except for components in the primary circuit that accommodate the specified input voltage.
  • Page 37 STYLUS 800 Service Manual The figure below shows a block diagram of the power supply circuit (C106 PSB/PSE). This power supply circuit employs the RCC (ringing choke converter) switching control system. The input AC voltage supplied from the external AC source is first input to the filter circuit for higher harmonics absorption.

  • Page 38: Operating Principles Of The Main Control Circuit

    2.3.2 Operating Principles of the Main Control Circuit The main control circuit of this printer is the C106 MAIN BOARD. This circuit is controlled by the 8-bit CPU TMP96C141F (ICI), running at 19.6608 MHz. This CPU has a unique architecture capable of handling data on the data bus at either an 8-bit bus width or a 16-bit bus width.

    STYLUS 2.3.2.4 Carriage Motor Drive Circuit Carriage motor drive IC SLA7024 (IC13) drives the carriage motor for the printer mechanism by a constant current, unipolar drive system. Gate array E05A85EB (IC3) selects the motor phase drive current level using the output signals from ports CRO to CR3 (pins 75 to 78). The phase switching operation is directly controlled by the phase control signals output from ports P600 to P603 (pins 1 to 4) of the CPU.

  • Page 46: Standby Operation

    Operating Principles 2.4.1.3 Standby Operation The standby operation prevents an increase in the viscosity of the ink held inside the printhead nozzles. This operation is performed automatically if no data is received for more than three seconds from the last print data. 1) Counts the number of flushing operations from the last standby operation, using the combined print counter N.

  • Page 47: Cleaner Blade Operation

    STYLUS 800 Service Manual 2.4.1.6 Cleaner Blade Operation The cleaner blade operation eliminates any dust or ink attached to the nozzle plate surface. This operation consists of the following separate operational modes. This operation eliminates any dust attached to the nozzle plate surface before Cleaner blade - I the ink absorbing operation is performed.

  • Page 48: Disengage On Operation

    This counter indicates the amount of ink that exists in the cap, in proportion to the number of flushing operations. When the counter value exceeds or equals 5600 (R 2 5600), the printer performs the false absorbing operation. This counter is used to: 1) keep a wet condition inside the cap, 2)

  • Page 49: Protect Counter

    Rev. B This counter is used to manage the total amount of drained ink. If the counter value is equal to or exceeds 25000 (A 2 25000), the printer indicates the error on the contiol panel and maintenance is required.
