3.2.4 Disassembling the Printer Mechanism
Since Stylus Color 400 does not have the lower housing, the printer mechanism part should be already
appeared by now. Therefore, this section explains procedures for disassembling the major parts or units
of printer mechanism.
3.2.4.1 Removing the Print Head Unit
1. Remove the housing. (Refer to 3.2.1)
2. Rotate the flat gear 67.2 towards yourself (front) and release the carriage lock mechanism.
Then move the carriage to the left edge.
3. Take both black and color ink cartridges out of the print head unit.
4. Remove the blue covers for black and color ink cartridge from the carriage assembly.
5. Remove the torsion spring 49 and one screw(No.3) and take the fastener head out.
6. Remove the FFC being placed on the carriage assembly, and take the print head unit
out of the carriage.
7. Disconnect the FFC from the connector on the drive board built in the print head unit.
Make sure that earth board is installed to the carriage correctly. (There are 2 pins to determine
the location.)
When you built the print head into the carriage, make sure that a pin to determine the location on
the carriage side is put into the notch of the print head.
Since the ink cartridge once taken out can not be used again, be sure to install a new ink
cartridge when you return the printer to the user.
When you return the printer to the user, be sure to pack the printer for transportation with a new
ink cartridge installed and at the state that carriage is in the home position when the user turns
on the power.
When you replace the print head unit, perform the following adjustment. (Refer to Chapter 4 for
more details):
1) Initial ink charge (Refer to Chapter 4 /4.2.2.2)
2) Writing VH voltage ID (Refer to Chapter 4 /4.2.2.3)
3) Head Angle Adjustment (Chapter 4 /4.2.2.4)
