MultiPASS C530/C560 Chapter 1: General Description
5.4.3 Data in the EEPROM
The EEPROM stores the absorption amounts of the waste ink absorber and vertical alignment data. The
non-volatile EEPROM does not require any electrical power to retain the data it contains.
Calculation of the total waste ink amount of the waste ink absorber starts immediately after the printer is
used. When the absorption amount of the waste ink absorber reaches 100 percent, the waste ink full error
is generated and the printing operation is stopped to prevent the waste ink from leaking out.
The vertical alignment data is for correcting any vertical misalignment during bi-directional printing.
The data in the EEPROM can be checked or altered.
Checking or altering the data in EEPROM
Waste ink absorption amount:
To check the amount, use the service report’s System Dump List. For details, see
Chapter 3: a-2) System dump list on Page 3-63
.
To enter the amount, use the service data #7 PRINTER 3. INK ABS CAPA. For
details, see
Chapter 3: 5.2.5 New SSSW's/parameters added to this model on
Page 3-39 .
Vertical alignment data:
To adjust the vertical alignment, see
Chapter 3: 3.2 Vertical Alignment Correction
on Page 3-7
.
Re-entering the waste ink absorber’s ink absorption amount.
The amount data is calculated waste ink absorber. The waste ink absorption amount
displayed in the
SYSTEM DUMP LIST
indicates the percentage of the respective
absorber’s maximum capacity that has been reached. The percentage can be indicated
and entered in 1% increments. When the waste ink generated immediately after the
printer is used reaches 100 percent of the waste ink absorber’s capacity, a waste ink full
error is generated for each absorber and the printing operation is stopped. Therefore
when replacing the SPCNT board, be sure to check the current absorption amount and
enter it in the new SPCNT board.
If the SPCNT board assembly malfunctions and the current waste ink absorption
amount cannot be checked, replace the ink absorber and set the waste ink absorption
amount to 0%. To replace the ink absorber, see
d) Recovery methods for codes
indicated as “New” on Page 3-22
