Page 44
3.2.1 Scanner Mechanism 3.2.1.1 Document feeding and ejecting mechanism This mechanism consists of the document support, automatic document feeder (ADF), document feed roller, document ejection roller, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 3.2.3.) Placing documents face down on the rear cover and starting the scanning operation activate the scanner motor so that the ADF (consisting of the document separation roller and ADF parts) feeds the documents into the machine, starting from the bottom (first page), page by page.
3.2.2 Printing Mechanism The printing mechanism consists of the following. Ink supply and ink jet mechanism (Section 3.2.2.1) Head maintenance mechanism (Section 3.2.2.2) Carriage drive mechanism (Section 3.2.2.3) Paper pulling-in, registration, feeding and ejecting mechanisms (Section 3.2.2.4) The ink supply mechanism supplies ink to the head/carriage unit, in which the ink jet mechanism sprays ink droplets from the head nozzles onto paper.
3.2.2.1 Ink supply and ink jet mechanism [ 1 ] Overview The ink supply and ink-jet mechanism consists of the head/carriage unit, four ink cartridges, ink refill assembly, and ink supply tubes. The head/carriage unit scans the surface of the recording paper, jetting out ink supplied through the ink supply tubes onto the paper to produce images.
Page 47
[ 2 ] Features A distinct feature of this machine is the use of ink supply tubes between the ink cartridges and the head/carriage unit. Relieving the head/carriage unit of the task of carrying heavy ink cartridges back and forth across the page, the approach generally adopted by other ink-jet printers, offers the following advantages.
Page 48
[ 3 ] Head/carriage unit The head/carriage unit consists of a front end (ink-jet head) and a back end (buffer and air vent unit) as shown below. The front end consists of metal plates laminated together and etched to form ink flow channels. Piezoelectric ceramic actuators generate the spray pressure.
Page 49
Front end Front end components and their main roles - Piezoelectric plate Applying a voltage stretches the plate, serving as the actuator for spraying ink. Consisting of thin piezoelectric plates laminated together, this plate can be driven even by a low voltage. - Filter This removes foreign materials from the ink.
Page 50
Ink spray function The head employs drop-on-demand ink-jet printing. Print commands to the drive circuit apply a bias voltage to the layer electrodes on the piezoelectric ceramic surface stretching the elements perpendicular to that surface. Drive signals removing this voltage for specific channel electrodes allow the piezoelectric elements to return to their original shape, sucking ink into the corresponding channels*.

Page 52
Damping Without damping, ink pressure fluctuations directly affect the size of ink-jet head droplets, risking lower print quality. Each damper assembly has two chambers. The one on the right in the illustration below has a loose film across its top and serves as a damper. The film immediately flexes in and out in response to falls and rises in pressure, adjusting the chamber volume to counteract pressure fluctuations in the ink supply tubes.
Page 53
[ Tip: Air bubble growth ] Liquid ink contains trace amounts of air. The amount varies with the pressure on the ink because increasing the pressure raises the ink's ability to absorb air from its surroundings and lowering the pressure forces the ink to give up some of this air. The ink pressure fluctuations caused by the piezoelectric ceramic actuators repeatedly expand and contract any air bubbles, growing them larger gradually.
Page 54
[ Tip: What's so bad about air bubble growth? ] Pressure fluctuations do not affect the volume of a liquid (ink), but Boyle's Law says that the volume of a gas (air) varies with the pressure on it. The main issue with air bubbles in the ink flow path is their damping effect, absorbing the pressure from the piezoelectric ceramic actuators and thus degrading ink-jet performance.
"Pigment-based ink" Previous Brother machines used only dye-based inks. This one switches to a pigment-based ink for black only, reducing fuzziness from print character outlines, boosting resolution for black dots, and producing clearer images on plain paper.
Page 56
Ink cartridge components and their main roles - Disc valve S A plastic needle in the refill base opens this valve to supply air to the ink cartridge. Removing the ink cartridge closes this valve to prevent leakage due to ink backflow. - Disc valve D A plastic needle in the refill base opens this valve to allow ink to flow out of the ink cartridge.
Ink refill assembly components and their main roles - Ink refill case - Cartridge lock levers - Ink refill base - Ink tube joints - Ink cartridge sensors (on the ink cartridge PCB) - Ink absorber felts Inserting the ink cartridges into the ink refill case and securing them with the cartridge lock levers forces the cartridges' ink supply ports into close contact with the ink refill base to prevent ink leakage.
3.2.2.2 Head maintenance mechanism [ 1 ] Overview The head maintenance mechanism consists of the maintenance unit and the ink absorber box. (See the illustration below.) The maintenance unit has the following mechanisms. - Head capping mechanism (See page 3-21.) - Carriage lock mechanism (See page 3-22.)
Page 60
- Purge gear and purge bevel gear These gears transmit the power from the clutch gear (detailed in [ 4 ] later) to the planetary arm. - Planetary arm This switches power to the tube pump or pump switching unit depending on the direction of paper feed motor rotation.
[ 3 ] Mechanisms constituting the head maintenance mechanism (1) Head capping mechanism When the power is off or the machine is not printing, this mechanism fits the head cap unit (which contains two head caps) tightly over the print head to prevent the head nozzles from drying up and to keep dust off the head nozzle surface.
Page 62
(2) Carriage lock mechanism This mechanism locks the head/carriage unit to prevent the head nozzles from getting out of the head cap unit accidentally due to external vibration or impact when the machine is not printing, when the power is off, or during transport. Driving the purge cam causes the carriage lock to pop up in order to lock the head/carriage unit when the head caps are tightly pressed against the ink-jet units.
Page 63
(3.1) Switching pump The pump switching unit switches the application target of the negative pressure generated by the pump between the head cap for black ink, the one for color ink, and the air vent cap. When the purge cam is in a head capping position and the carriage lock fits the head cap unit tightly over the print head, the pump switching unit is switched to the opening tube to the atmospheric air so that the pressure in the head caps and air vent cap returns to the normal atmospheric pressure.
Page 64
(4) Head wiper mechanism After the purge operation, the purge cam pushes up the head wiper, wiping off any ink remaining on the head nozzle surface as the head/carriage unit moves from right to left. Maintenance unit Head wiper (3_11) Purge cam Confidential 3-24...
Page 65
(5) Air removing mechanism Another position of the purge cam shifts the slide cams, producing vertical motion of the air vent rods. Pushing up the air vent rods opens the shut-off valves inside the air vent unit of the head/carriage unit. Simultaneously adding negative pressure from the tube pump removes air trapped in the damper assemblies.
[ 4 ] Purge mechanism details This mechanism draws its power from the paper feed motor on the left side of the engine chassis. Power transmission route from paper feed motor to maintenance unit The paper feed motor drives the PF roller gear L that rotates the paper feed roller. At the right end of the roller (left in the illustration because the view is from the rear) is the PF roller gear R which always meshes with the clutch gear.
Page 67
Purge mode In the purge mode, the motor rotational torque is transmitted to the purge gear, purge bevel gear, and planetary arm to drive the pump switching unit or tube pump (depending upon the motor rotational direction). PF roller gear L PF roller gear R Maintenance unit Paper feed motor...
Page 68
Switching the power transmission with the planetary arm in the maintenance unit When the paper feed motor is driving the maintenance unit, the counterclockwise (when viewed from the output gear side) rotation meshes the planetary arm with the tube pump; the clockwise rotation, with the purge cam.

3.2.2.3 Carriage drive mechanism The head/carriage unit, which integrates the print head unit and carriage, is supported and guided by the CR guide rail and CR support chassis. The CR timing belt transmits the carriage motor rotation to the head/carriage unit. Clockwise motor rotations move the head/carriage unit to the right; counterclockwise ones to the left.
Page 72
Adjusting the print head angle relative to carriage For optimal image printing, the print head nozzle array must be perpendicular to the head/carriage unit's line of travel. Manufacturing limitations, however, make perfect alignment impossible during mass production. The angle must be adjusted at the individual machine level. The following describes this adjustment mechanism's components and their roles.
Page 73
CR guide rail and support chassis between three levels for "Brother premium glossy photo paper," "thick paper and envelopes" and "other types of paper" in order to bring the optimum distance between the head nozzle surface and paper.

As listed below, the printer driver on the connected PC or the paper type setting on the machine controls the slider cams to determine the height of the head/carriage unit. Adjustment for: Controlled by: Brother premium glossy Thick paper and envelopes photo paper Printer driver (in printing from PC)
3.2.2.4 Paper pulling-in, registration, feeding and ejecting mechanisms These mechanisms are driven by a single paper feed motor located on the left side of the engine chassis via a gear train. (See the illustration on the next page.) The following illustration is a cross-sectional view of the machine viewed from the left. Place the recording paper face down in the paper tray.
Page 76
Power transmission route and motor rotational direction The rotation torque of the paper feed motor is transmitted via the PF roller gear L and paper feed roller to the PF roller gear R which always meshes with the clutch gear, as described in Section 3.2.2.2, [ 4 The clutch gear also meshes with the SF changeover gear, HS changeover gear, or purge gear when...

(See the illustration on page 3-36.) At the right end of the paper feed roller is the PF roller gear R that always meshes with...
Page 79
Other controls Paper feed position and speed control A PF encoder disk with the resolution of 300 dpi (0.084 mm pitch) is mounted on the PF roller gear L. The PF encoder sensor uses it to generate a signal indicating the gear rotation speed--in other words, the paper feed roller speed--to the controller for use in controlling paper feed position and speed.
