7.6.4 Handling of the charge related faults
- The model PXR and PX are changed from the model KX in terms of handling of the
charge related faults as follows.
Model KX
Faults
Ink ejection
No electrical
Ink is stopped.

Model PXR and PX

Ink ejection
No Ink Drop

Conditions that the fault occur
The APH waveform is checked, and the fault occurs when the
APH signal is not detected in a given time.
The ink stream bent is detected. The fault is detected in the
ready state only.
The APH waveform is checked, and the fault occurs when the
APH signal is lower than the threshold level in a given time.
The insufficient electrical charge caused by a fault of the ink
drop generation status, and the ink bent are detected. The fault
is detected in the ready state only.
The APH waveform is detected, and the fault occurs when APH
signal exceed the judgment value in a given time.
The leakage noise and external noise are detected in the ready
state. The fault is detected in the ready state only.
Conditions that the fault occur
The APH waveform is checked, and the fault occurs when the
APH signal is not detected in a given time.
The ink stream bent is detected.
The fault is detected in the standby state also.
Ink ejection is kept when the IJP is the service maintenance
mode to clear the cause of the trouble.
(The fault occurs when ink is not charged even when the ink is
ejected. In this case, it should be clarified whether the ink drop
generation status is wrong or charge voltage is not output
while ink ejection is kept.)
The APH waveform is checked, and the fault occurs when the
APH signal is lower than the threshold level in a given time.
The insufficient electrical charge caused by a fault of the ink
drop generation status, and the ink bent are detected. The
fault is detected in the ready state only.
The APH waveform is detected, and the fault occurs when APH
signal exceed the judgment value in a given time.
The leakage noise and external noise are detected in the ready
state. The fault is detected in the ready state only.
