Color Inkjet Printer JV33-130/160 1-1. Precautions in Maintenance 1-1-1. Notes on repair Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cable from the main body inlet before starting work. To prevent the ink from getting into your eyes, be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when cleaning the print head or replacing the S pump L assembly or if the ink is anticipated to scatter.
Precautions in Maintenance Do not tilt the printer with the ink cartridges filled with ink. Doing so can give rise to leakage of ink. In principle, the following procedures should be taken in prior to the transportation and the transportation should be conducted using exclusive packaging material.

Operation Principle About the waste ink tank warning The amount of ink discharged is monitored by the counter in the firmware, and depending on the situ- ation, before operations involving suction (cleaning, filling, and discharge), a prompt to replace the waste ink tank may be displayed.
Page 20
Color Inkjet Printer JV33-130/160 Device configuration The device configuration of ink supply path is shown below. The firmware switches select whether the inkset configured at the initial filling is 4-color or not. 4-color filling 2 paths of the same color are linked directly after the cartridge valve. Normally the valve of 1 cartridge per color is opened by toggle switching, supplying ink to a 2-nozzle row.
Page 21
Operation Principle Flow of the ink supply control The ink supply control flow can be divided as the followings. Error check of the cartridge. Selection/determination of a supply cartridge (depends on a state of the cartridge). (4-color only) (Except for 4-color, all cartridges are supply cartridges.) Updating of each LED (depends on a state of the supply/error cartridge).

Outline 5-1-1. Operation Explanation The JV33-160/130 slider has 1 head with 180 nozzles (180 dpi intervals) x 8 rows. Ink is ejected from the ink chamber by vibrating the piezoelectric elements of the heads. For this vibration waveform, the printer uses variable waveform which can permit 4-step expressions (L, M, S and none).
