1.

Test Pattern

[Shift]+[PRINT LAYOUT]

When trouble related to printing (such as picture quality or printing precision)


has occurred, having this pattern output in the field can become the basis for
identifying the cause of the problem from the maintenance manual.
In A3 size, it is a 7-colour pattern showing picture quality and printing precision.
When printing with A0 media mounted, in addition to the A3 size pattern,
the J line pattern will be printed over the entire width in the Y direction.
Printing will be in accordance with the printing mode set on the panel.

Test Pattern
When trouble related to printing (such as picture quality or printing precision) has
occurred, having this pattern output in the field can become the basis for identifying
the cause of the problem from the maintenance manual.
In A3 size, it is a 7-colour pattern showing picture quality and printing precision.
When plotting with A0 media mounted, in addition to the A3 size pattern, the J line
pattern will be printed over the entire width in the Y direction.

1. Make sure no data are being received then mount an A3 or larger sheet of cut
media or roll media in the printer.
2. Start printing by pressing [Shift]+[PLOT LAYOUT] at the same time.
During printing, [Printing
] will appear in the liquid crystal display unit.
When the image quality faults shown below have occurred, you can investigate
the type of problem by consultation based on reports using the location numbers
on the consultation pattern.

How to Start Self-Diagnosis


These pages deal with the hidden diagnostic functions of the Rockhopper-46/62
Inkjet Printer. These hidden diagnostics are mainly intended for examining boards
and determining mechanical and firmware adjustment parameters. These functions
are incorporated into the printer firmware but they are not disclosed to end users.
They are enabled by applying power to the printer while holding down several special panel keys. It is not possible to access the hidden diagnostic functions from the
normal printer mode. Updated firmware adjustment parameters can be registered
by exiting diagnostic mode or by switching off the power. Firmware adjustment
parameters are also registered when there is a serious MOE failure error on adjustment. The printer will be reset on exiting diagnostic mode. Diagnostic functions are
as follows.

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.

This procedure is used for aligning the capping position correctly by adjusting the
capping position parameters in the firmware.
When this item is selected, the printer carries out the home position detection
sequence and then automatically pushes the carriage against the maintenance unit
to detect the carriage position at that time. The position displayed is the distance
from the home position flag.

Adjustment: Media Skew

Model Name: Rockhopper-46/62

This procedure will feed a specific amount of paper (a single pass band feed) and the sensors will read the position of the edge of the media before and after feeding and check for
any discrepancy. If no media is loaded when this item is selected, you will be asked to load
the media. After media initialization, when the amount of media feed is entered, the edge
sensors will detect the left and right edges of the media and media feed will begin. After
feeding the specified amount, the edge sensors will again detect the left and right edges of
the media and any difference from the readings before media was fed will be checked and
displayed. A media recognition error before and after feeding, or detection by the rear sensor
of no paper during feeding, will cause a media error to be displayed and this procedure may
be terminated by pressing any key. To terminate the procedure when processing is not in
progress, press [Back] on the panel. To escape from this item, press [Back] while no processing is in progress.
CAUTION:

Make sure media is properly loaded.

This procedure is used to ensure the proper detection of the length of cut sheet
media. It adjusts the position of the rear sensor in the firmware by entering the
media length after cut media has been loaded and detected.
This item is essential in the production process but it is no longer necessary once
media feed distance compensation has been carried out.
When this item is selected, whether media is loaded or not, it will ask for cut sheet
media. If panel diagnosis decides that media is loaded, this will be assumed to be
cut sheet media and media initialization will begin. Therefore roll media should not
be loaded. After the media has been initialized, it will be ejected.
