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 spe-
cial 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 adjust-
ment. The printer will be reset on exiting diagnostic mode. Diagnostic functions are
as follows.
1. Power supply to the printer is off.
2. Switch on the power with the [Head Cleaning] + [Menu Display] + [Shift] keys
held down.
3. The panel LCD will display “DIAG: EXAM”. X and Y excitation remains off.
Note 1:
The system will not revert to normal mode even if there is no key entry for three minutes.
Note 2:
Roll media mode is set automatically.
Note 3:
Panel keys that can be operated are [CANCEL] and the keys for menu display (Menu Up
and Down, Back, Value + and –, ENTER)
Note 4:
To terminate self-diagnostics, switch off the power.
Note 5:
To feed media, press [MENU] while holding down the [Shift] key when the Diagnostics Menu
is displayed.
