2.1.1 Printer Mechanism
PE Sensor
The printer mechanism for Stylus PHOTO 895/785EXP/915/825 is designed newly.
But, the basic component of the printer mechanism is same as previous product.
LD Roller
This printer consists of Print Head, Carriage Mechanism, Paper Feeding Mechanism,
Paper Loading Mechanism, Ink System (Pump Mechanism, Cap Mechanism, and Paper Feed Back Plate
Carriage Lock Mechanism).
Like other EPSON ink jet printers, the Stylus PHOTO 895/785EXP/915/825 is
equipped with three stepping motors; one for ASF/Pump mechanism, one for Paper Paper Separation Pad
feeding mechanism and one for carriage mechanism. ASF unit uses rear entry front
eject system. This ASF unit is also designed so that the single LD roller loads the paper
to the printer mechanism. For cap assembly, Stylus PHOTO 895/785EXP/915/825 uses ASF Hopper Spring
valveless mechanism.

2.1.2 Printhead
CSIC Nozzle Selector Board
The printhead uses a new developed U-CHIPS head and Stylus PHOTO 895/785EXP/
915/825 can perform multiple shot printing and variable printing.
The CSIC is mounted on the ink cartridge. By storing ink life data, this IC makes it
Ink Cartridge
possible to control the ink in ink cartridge unit. CSIC Connection Circuit
Needle
The basic operating principles of the printhead, which plays a major role in printing,
are the same as previous models; on-demand method which uses PZT (Piezo Electric
Element). In order to uniform the amount of ejecting ink, the printhead has its own
head ID (13 digits for this printhead) which adjust PZT voltage drive features.
The printhead stores the head ID to EEPROM and generates appropriate PZT drive
voltage to prevent amount of ink from varying by printheads.
Following explains printhead basic components. Filter

PZT
PZT is an abbreviation of Piezo Electric Element. Certain amount of voltage
Cavity
expands and contracts PTZ. The drive wave generated on MAIN board drives PZT Nozzle Plate PZT
and PZT pushes the top cavity which has ink stored to discharge the ink from each
nozzle on the nozzle plate. Figure 2-2. Printhead Sectional Drawing
Ink Cavity
The ink absorbed from the ink cartridge goes through the filter and then is stored
temporarily in this tank called “cavity” until PZT is driven.
Nozzle Plate
The board with nozzle holes on the printhead surface is called Nozzle Plate.
CSIC Connection Circuit
This circuit connects the CSIC mounted on the ink cartridge and the main board.
One end of the wire harness connects with the print head cable to the main board.
Filter
When the ink cartridge is installed, if any dirt or dust around the cartridge needle is
absorbed into the head, there is a great possibility of causing nozzle clog and
disturbance of ink flow, and finally causing alignment failure and dot missing. To
prevent this problem, a filter is set below the cartridge needle, where ink is filtered.

Nozzle Layout 2.1.2.1 Printing Process

Black: 48 nozzles (120 dpi)
Color: 48 nozzles x5(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light cyan, Light magenta)(120dpi) This section explains the process in which the printheads of On-Demand inkjet printers
eject ink from each nozzle.
The nozzle layout when viewed from the back surface of the head is shown below.
1. Normal State:
When no printing signal is sent from PC, or no PZT drive voltage is applied, PZT
does not change shape, therefore PZT does not squeeze the cavity. Ink pressure
inside the cavity is kept normal.
2. Ejecting State:
When the print signal is output from the C408/C498 MAIN board, IC (Nozzle
Selector) located on the printhead unit latches data once by 1-byte unit. An
appropriate PZT latched by the nozzle selector is pushed into the cavity by the
common voltage applied from the main board. By this operation, ink stored in the
cavity spurts out from nozzles.

(HP/PE sensor) etc. The carriage mechanism moves the carriage back and forth
Variable dot printing according to the drive from the carriage motor. The following stepping motor is
mounted to drive CR mechanism. (See the table below.)
The above two printing modes are automatically selected depending on the media and
the resolution setting of the printer driver. The following explains each printing mode. Table 2-1. Carriage Motor Specification
Multiple shot printing Items Specifications
This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on plain paper or
transparencies in low resolution. The multiple shot printing mode uses normal dot Type 4-Phase/ 200-Pole HB Stepping motor
and the number of dot shots varies from 1 shot to maximum 3 shots depending on Drive Voltage +42 V +/ - 5% (DRV IC voltage)

Coil Resistance 7.8 Ω +/ - 10% (per phase at 25 degree)
Variable dot printing
This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on exclusive paper. Inductance 14 mH +/ - 20%(1KH 1VmA)
This mode is basically the same as variable dot printing mode used on other Drive Method Bi-Polar drive
products ; micro dot, middle dot, and large dot compose this mode. Print dot size
varies according to print data and this mode enables even sharper image output on Driver IC LB11847
exclusive paper.
The drive from CR motor is transferred to the CR unit via CR timing belt. And the CR
home position is detected with the HP sensor. This sensor is available as CR HP
detector only in the HP (home position) detection sequence & pump operation
sequence.

2.1.6.2 Capping Mechanism

The capping mechanism covers the printheads with the cap holder to prevent the nozzle
from increasing viscosity when the printer is in stand-by mode or when the printer is
off. This product has valveless cap system. Air valve function used for the previous
models pumps and ejects ink only inside the cap by absorbing ink with the valve open.
By opening the Air valve, the negative pressure is decreased and only the ink inside the
cap is ejected. (the ink is not absorbed from Ink cartridge or head cavity.)
But, valveless cap system, this operation is done out side of the capping area.
The CR moves to left side of the Cap assembly and the pump absorbs the ink inside the
cap.

2.2.1.3 PS Control Function

This power supply circuit enables to supply the voltage to the 5V, 3.3V and 42V lines
for about 30 seconds by using the secondary power supply even if the power is turned
off with the power switch on the operation panel. This procedure ensures the following
operation even if the printer's power switch is turned off while printing.
When the CR unit is not at the home position while the printer is printing, the
CR unit stops printing, then the power is shut down after returning to the
home position and finishing the locking action.
When the papers are stored in the printer mechanism in the condition supplied
by the ASF even if the printer is not printing, the paper is ejected and then the
power is shut down.
2.2.1.4 Power saving mode

The power supply circuit activates the power saving mode by the signal ESAVE from
the control circuit. The +42V line repeats rise/fall in the power saving mode.

HP Sensor
This sensor uses the photoelectric conversion method and detects the CR home
position at the right end of CR shaft by the HP sensor when the power is turned on.
This sensor outputs the HIGH signal to the CPU as it detects the CR home position
when the power is turned on. If the LOW signal is outputted at the detection
position, the CR unit is not at the home position.
PE sensor
This sensor uses the photoelectric conversion method and detects if there is paper
in the ASF unit or not. This sensor outputs the HIGH signal when there is paper in

Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink comes
into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water
immediately. If irritation occurs, contact a physician.
When a lithium battery is installed on the main board of this
printer, make sure to observe the following instructions when
serving the battery:
1.Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that
electrodes of the opposite polarity do not come in contact with
each other.
2.Do not heat the battery or put it near fire.
3.Do not solder on any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in
leakage of electrolyte from the battery, burning or explosion. The
leakage may affect other devices close to the battery.)
4.Do not charge the battery. (An explosion may be generated inside
the battery, and cause burning or explosion.)
5.Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt
your throat. Leakage, burning or explosion may also be resulted.)
6.Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause
burning or explosion.)
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacture. Dispose the used batteries according to
government’s law and regulations.

installed again because of the following reasons;
1.Once the ink cartridge mounted on the printer is removed, air
comes in and creates bubbles in the cartridge. These bubbles clog
ink path and cause printing malfunction.

Because of the reasons above, make sure to return the printer to
the user with a new ink cartridge installed.
Make sure the tip of the waste ink tube is located at correct
