The following are the points to note when using the parallel Interface.
NOTE 1:Return GND pin in the table means twist pair return and is
used for all control signals except for Logic H,+5V, Chassis,
GND and NC. In this twist pair return, returning side is
connected to GND (16,33, 19-30 pin) for twist pair return. Also,
these cables are shielded wires and it is effective to connect to
each chassis GND in the PC and printer for electrostatic noise.
NOTE 2:Conditions for Interface are based on TTL level. Rise and fall time
should be within 0.2s.

Manual Selection:
One of two interfaces can be selected by the default setting mode.
Automatic Selection:
The automatic interface selection is enabled by the default setting
mode. In this automatic interface selection mode, the printer is
initialized to the idle state scanning which interface receives data
when it is powered on. Then the interface that receives data first is
selected. When the host stops data transfer and the printer is in the
stand-by state for the seconds, the printer is returned to the idle
state. As long as the host sends data or the printer interface is busy
state, the selected interface is let as it is.
NOTE: A low logic level on the Logic H signal is 2.0V or less when the printer is
powered off and this signal is equal or exceeding 3.0V when the printer is
powered on. The receiver shall provide an impedance equivalent to 7.5K ohm
to ground.

[Step 2]
Even after the bubble absorbing ability described above stops, there is
problem about entering bubbles as long as the ink cartridge is installed
in the printer. However, if the ink cartridge which does not have
absorbing ability any more is once removed from the printer, new
coming bubbles into the cartridge will never disappear naturally. These
bubbles may cause not only printing malfunction but also thickening ink.
This thickened ink goes into the head and clogs ink path in the head or
nozzle and may cause serious head damage.
[Step 3]
As standard specification for Stylus Color 400, ink consumption counter
is reset when the ink cartridge is removed. If an ink cartridge is removed
and re-installed unnecessarily the value on the ink consumption monitor
which the user can check will be wrong and printer may keep printing
even though the ink cartridge is installed empty. This may cause head
damage.

1.5.4 No Ink-Cartridge
Following reasons can be the causes when printer goes this error
mode.
When the total quantity of ink wasted through the cleanings and flushing
reaches to the limit, printer indicates this error and stops. The absorber
in the printer enclosure is needed to be replaced with new one by a
service person. The ink quantity that is absorbed by the absorber
(waste ink pad) is monitored by the software counter as total ink
counter. This counter is added by point system and absorbers
maximum ability is set at the following reference value.
1. When the printer is turned on for the first time. (This is a normal
error state and it returns to the normal state after installing an ink
cartridge according to the ink cartridge exchange operation.)
2. Ink cartridge exchange operation is done correctly. After the position
of carriage is moved by exchange operation, if the cleaning switch is
pushed without installing ink cartridge or if the carriage returns to
the home-position automatically without doing any operation, it is
considered as handling mistake. However, it returns to normal state
by performing ink exchange operation again and installing cartridge
correctly.
3. If No ink-cartridge error appears even after the ink cartridge is
installed, the printer must be something wrong and around the
sensor area in the carriage need to be repaired.
4.
If sometimes printer can print normally but also sometimes No inkcartridge error appears, the printer must be something wrong.

Revision A
Basic principles of the print head which plays major role of printing
mechanism is the same as previous models; on demand type MACH
head method, but there is some difference in the resolution. (Refer to
figure1-1)
Also, unlike Stylus Color IIs, 820, 200 automatic correction type, in
order to fix the dispersion of mufti layer piezo electric element which is
used for driving each nozzles, it is necessary to input the VH value
written on the side of print head by using exclusive program when you
replace print head, control board, or the printer mechanism.(However,
there are no resistor array to decide the VH voltage on the main control
board.) Following explains print head.
PZT
PZT is an abbreviation of Piezo Electric Element. Print signal from
the PSB/PSE board is sent through the driver board on the print
head unit and to the PZT. Then, the PZT pushes the top cavity
which has ink stored, and make the ink discharge from each nozzle
located on the nozzle plate.
Cavity Set
Ink which is absorbed from ink cartridge go through the filter and will
be stored temporarily in this tank, which is called cavity until PZT is
driven.
Needle
(Ink Cartridge)
PZT
Filter
Nozzle Plate
Cavity
Nozzle Plate
The board with nozzle holes on the printer head surface is called
Nozzle Plate.
Filter
When the ink cartridge is installed, if any dirt or dust around the
cartridge needles are absorbed into the head inside, there is a great
possibility of causing nozzle clog and disturbance of ink flow and
finally causing alignment failure and dot-missing. In order to prevent
this, filter is set at cartridge needle below and ink is once filtered
here.

1. Normal State:
When the print signal is not output, PTZ also does not move in the
waiting state (normal state). (Refer to Figure 2-3.)
2. Ejecting State:
When the print signal is output from the C206 main-B/C255/C256/
C257 main board, IC (IR2C72C:Nozzle Selector) located on the
Print head unit latches the data once by 1-byte unit. Appropriate
PZT latched by nozzle selector is pushed into the cavity by applying
common voltage from the main board. By this operation, ink that is
stored in the cavity pops out from nozzles. (Refer to figure 2-4.)

[Step 3]
When the CAM rotates toward 1 in the figure above, the return lever
is pushed by the notch of CAM and falls towards 2. At this time, the
return lever moves to direction 3 by this motion, and push down the
pad which is waiting in the below part. At this time, friction of pinch
roller and pad will be canceled.

In the ink absorptive operation such as cleaning, flushing and initial ink
charge except for printing operation, ink in the ink cartridge drains to the
waste ink absorber(pad) through the cap by the pump unit drive. In case
of printing and flashing drive, ink is popped out by the PZT in the print
head, but in case of absorptive operation such as cleaning and initial ink
charge, ink absorption is performed only by the pump drive without PZT
drive after the head surface is adhered to the cap. The next page

There are 2 types of power supply boards for Stylus Color 440/640/740.
The main components of the boards are the same, but the +5V
regulator ICs which create steady +5V are different. These boards are
power supply board with a RCC switching regulator, which generates
+42VDC for drive part and +5VDC for logic part to drive the printer. One
of the major characteristic of this board is that the same secondary
switch is used as Stylus Color series printer. By using this switch, the
following difference can be seen as superficial phenomena compared
with products applied with primary switch method, such as Stylus Color
IIs, II and Stylus 800/1000 series printer. The table below shows
application of voltages generated by C206 PSB/PSE board.

In the Dynamic RAM control, output and formation of CAS and RAS
control signals become necessary in addition to the output of CS signal.
The CPU not only controls that but also perform the output of CS signal
of P-ROM. Refresh timing is performed in the CAS Before RAS.
The print head control circuit of Stylus Color 440/640/740 has following
characteristics.
Also, Stylus Color 440/640/740 does not have Micro-dot control as dot
shooting control, but there are two types; Normal-dot and Normal dot2dot.Normal-dot-2dot was called Dual Firing in the Stylus Color IIs/820.
These setting/change are controlled automatically by setting of the
printer driver that is determined by the user. The followings are required
conditions to perform the normal-dot 2-dot.

Different from the previous models, Stylus Color 440, 640, and 740
have no dummy cleaning sequence called CL3, which was performed to
prevent ink from being unnecessarily consumed when cleaning was
repeated without any printout. However, Stylus Color 440/640/740 is
alternatively equipped with the strongest cleaning sequence CL2
contained in this adjustment program. With this sequence, you can
forcibly solve the clogged nozzle problem caused by viscous ink.

As already mentioned, there are two models for Stylus Color 740,
Standard model and NLSP model, and you are required to set the
suitable destination depending on the type of the main board supported.
Without this operation (Market/destination setting), users can not use
the NLSP characters despite their printers are equipped with the CGROM(IC6) on the main board.
For this reason, always confirm the market/destination status on the
Destination Setting Screen for Stylus Color 740 (Figure 5-19) after
you change or set a CG.

NOTE:
As shown in the sample, gaps between passes are sometimes created
in different directions among patterns.
This unexpected change in direction is caused by an ink jet printerspecific reason, which is an ink jet printer inevitably performs a
periodical cleaning specified by the flashing timer even during Bi-D
pattern printing, so that the printing direction suddenly changes.
However, this directional difference among Bi-D patterns should not be
considered, and you can always confirm and adjust the pattern correctly
by referring to gap amount only.

Revision A
6.1 Overview
This section describes the points and the procedures for maintaining
the printer in its optimum condition.
If print irregularity (missing dot, white line, etc.) has occurred or the
printer indicates MAINTENANCE ERROR, take the following actions
to clear the error.
6.1.1 Cleaning
Housing:
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water and wipe off any dirt. If
the housing is stained with ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral
detergent to wipe it off.
Head Cleaning
The printer has a built-in head cleaning function and is activated
through the control panel operation.
1. Confirm that the printer is in stand-by state (the POWER indicator
is not blinking), and hold down the cleaning button on the control
panel for more than 3 seconds.
2. The printer enters the built-in cleaning sequence. (During the
sequence, the POWER indicator is blinking.)

*1.Adjusted at factory.
*2.Initialized after panel initialization is performed.
*3.01H is a factory setting for pacific market. (This note for the address 35H is only
applicable for the Stylus Color 440.)
*4.This function uses in the case that Raster graphics of 180 x 180 dpi (It is economy
binding in a driver.) is printed and specifies the size of a dot.
An ink life can be improved, by making this binding a normal x 1 dot, although an
ordinariness prints it with normal x2 dot. Yet, the printing result becomes pale even
since before. This function is implemented in the firmware subsequent to version
Kaxxxx. Refer to the tables below.
