(2) Absolute time setting when the coin battery unit is removed
To keep the absolute time, a Real Time Clock (RTC) is built into the coin battery unit (QM2-0292). When
the coin battery unit is removed, the RTC is reset. After re-installing the coin battery unit, be sure to set the
absolute time to the RTC in the following procedures:
How to set the absolute time:
1) To set the absolute time to the RTC, connect the printer to the computer, and perform the print head
alignment from the printer driver utility. (Printing from the connected computer can also set the
absolute time.)
2) To set the last cleaning time to the EEPROM, perform the print head cleaning.
Note: If the absolute time is not set, the long timer cleaning (for more than 2 minutes, with high ink
usage) will be performed at start of the second printing after installation of the printer by a
customer.
(3) Waste ink absorber (drain pack ass’y, ink absorber) replacement
Be sure to replace the 4-item set of the drain pack ass’y (QL2-0194) and 3 ink absorbers
(QC1-1210/1211/1212) always when the following occurs:
- when the waste ink counter is reset
- when the logic board ass’y is replaced
Reason for replacement of the 4 items:
When the waste ink counter is reset, the ink amount data of both the main waste ink absorber (the drain
pack ass’y) and the borderless print waste ink absorbers (the ink absorbers) are reset.
When installing the drain pack ass’y, take care of the following:
- Apply a thin coat of Molykote 7508 (QY9-0059) to the surface of the cylinder-shaped mold at joint of the
purge unit (shown in the figure below). Do not apply the grease to anywhere other than the specified area.
- Pull out the absorber at the joint of the purge unit 2 to 3mm and straighten it (as shown in the figure
below), so that it will fit it into the slot of the drain pack ass’y. Make sure that the absorber is not caught
between the drain pack ass’y and the purge unit. (If caught, ink leakage is likely to occur.)
