Item 1-1

Case Papers are stained with ink on the subsequent prints after Print Head cleaning action.

- Ink spill out to the transfer belt from Print Head, therefore the papers are stained.

- This trouble likely occurs after Print Head cleaning action.

- Misfire may occur instead of ink stain occasionally

Cause of the problem (1)

If the surface of SUS plate is dirty with remaining old ink, ink will spill out from Print Head along remaining ink.

Solutions

Remove remaining old ink on SUS plate manually with fresh ink.

Cause of the problem (2)

Maintenance parameter

- The compressed air in the Reservoir will be released at the end of Print Head cleaning action and to what extent this air

releasing is performed is affecting the ink meniscus of Print Head.

- You can change the air releasing level by SE mode 8.6.6 and there is a trade-off condition between the misfire and ink

spilling trouble.

Solutions

- Adjust the “CLEANING CONFIG” by SE mode 8.6.6 (HC5500)

- This parameter has the values of OFF(default), WEAK, NORMAL and HARD.(HC5500)

- When [ HARD ] is selected, the possibility of the ink spilling trouble will decrease but the possibility of misfire will increase.

8-6-6-9 50ms 50ms 100ms 100ms

Cause of the problem (3)

There is a problem in the Reservoir.

- Solenoid valve of Reservoir cannot work properly and cannot release compressed air in the Reservoir during Print Head

cleaning operation, it causes ink spilling out from Print Head.

Solutions

- Replace the Ink Reservoir.

HC5500 Ver2.00 or later

HC5000 Ver2.05 or later

Clear There are some ink drips; they

becoming bigger.

No problem Adjustment is required

After adjusting the parameter

If there are many ink drips on the Print Head even if

change parameter to “HARD”, it is necessary to replace

ink reservoir or to clean up the Print Head again.

Reference

Cause of the problem (4)

There is a problem in the Print Head.

- If there are some scratches on coating of surface of Print Head, ink will stick there after Print Head cleaning action and ink

will spill out from Print Head.

Solutions

- Replace the Print Head.

- You can not check this problem in field.

Cause of the problem (5)

There is a problem in the stopping position of maintenance unit.

- If the stopping position of maintenance unit is not proper during Print Head cleaning operation, Suction head cannot wipe

the surface of Print Head sufficiently.

- If there is a problem with the stopping position of maintenance unit, Ink might drop down from “Ink Pan” because the

“Suction Head” touches “Ink Pan”.

Solutions

- Repair the deformed unit or replace the unit.

Edgeofpaperisstainedwithink Item1-2

Case Edge of paper is stained with ink.

Cause of the problem (1)

Due to curled paper or waved paper, edge of paper is stained.

- If curled paper or waved paper is used for printing, the paper will touch the surface of Print Head slightly and the leading

edge of the paper will be stained with ink.

- In worse condition, the error X02-223 [Paper lift detection] will occur.

Solutions

- Change papers with non-curled and non-waved papers if possible.

- Change the paper feeding direction if the paper size is small or than A4. (Short edge paper feeding -> long edge paper

feeding)

- Use the paper feeding from Multi-Tray Paper Feed Tray to avoid influence of the outside air. And putting “silica gel” is

effective for fumidity.

- Remedy of paper curl.

Curl of paper Wave of paper

Recycle paper waves easily in humid condition.

Mated paper curls easily in dry condition.

Cause of the problem (2)

The gap between Print Head and the transfer belt is too far.

- Ink mist, a minute particle of ink, may be sometimes generated from Print Head during printing.

- Such ink mist drifts in the air and comes toward the transfer belt.

- Most of them reach to the paper on the transfer belt so it is a problem.

- But if the gap between Print Head and the transfer belt is too far, misting ink may reach to the transfer belt and it can be

misting a cause of the problem.

- As a result, the surface of the transfer belt becomes dirty with ink and the edge of paper gets stained with ink.

- If the margin around the printing paper is reduced by menu 4.10 [Print Area], this problem occurs easily.

The gap is small (Normal)

The gap is big

Solutions

- Adjust the gap by SE mode 5.9.1.32 for HC5000. (It is possible to widen with 0.1mm step)

- The gap is alternated automatically by the paper type. If you print normal paper with envelope setting, the gap becomes

too big.(HC5500)

- Adjust print area(margin) by menu 4.10.(HC5000, HC5500)

<Tips>

- Default margin of normal paper by menu 4.10 is 5mm.(HC5000, HC5500)

- Maximum margin of normal paper by menu 4.10 is 1mm.(HC5000, HC5500)

- Default margin of envelope by menu 4.10 is 10mm.(HC5500) HC5000 cannot print with envelope.

Cause of the problem

- The switchback roller needs to be cleaned every 300,000 sheets printing.
