28 Theory of Operation Croma24 Service Manual The Carrier Axis Drive Figure 2-3. Carrier Axis Drive. The Carrier Axis Drive moves the printer’s carrier assembly along the length of the printer. The drive consists of a servo motor, linear encoder strip, drive belt, and tension assembly.
Theory of Operation 29 THEORY OF OPERA TION Croma24 Service Manual Main Printed Circuit Board (MPCB) Figure 2-4. Main Printed Circuit Board. The Main Printed Circuit Board (MPCB) consists of six functional areas: 1. Microprocessor (CPU) 2. Gate Array 3.
30 Theory of Operation Croma24 Service Manual Microprocessor The microprocessor (a Motorola MC68322) is the central processor unit which supervises system functions, executes the printer firm- ware, manipulates data, and controls input/output data busses.
Theory of Operation 31 THEORY OF OPERA TION Croma24 Service Manual The gate array contains the hardware logic for dot firing, monitor- ing changes in the Carrier Assembly position, controlling DMA for the serial port, and generating the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) waveforms for the servo controller.
32 Theory of Operation Croma24 Service Manual The system firmware is stored in Flash EEPROM and can be up- graded by opening the Control Panel located on the host computer. Once the Control Panel has been executed, it first starts an initial- ization and status communication sequence with the printer.
Theory of Operation 33 THEORY OF OPERA TION Croma24 Service Manual Stepper Motor Controller Figure 2-6. Stepper Motor Controller. The media is driven by a Stepper Motor, which drives the media in a direction perpendicular to the length of the printer.
34 Theory of Operation Croma24 Service Manual 2. Motor current sense The voltage across a series current sense resistor is measured and level shifted so that it is centered around 5 V. 3.

3 MAINTENANCE 43 Maintenance Introduction This chapter contains general maintenance and cleaning instruc- tions for the Croma24 printer. Scheduled Maintenance Scheduled maintenance consists of a list of checks that are planned to be performed on a regular basis or when conditions warrant it.
44 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Cleaning Procedures Always turn the printer OFF, remove the power cord and the interface cable before cleaning the printer. An electrical shock hazard may be present if these proce- dures are not followed. External Cleaning Do not use abrasive cleansers of any sort on the sur- faces of the printer.
Maintenance 45 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Printer problems can be caused by an accumulation of dirt or other contamination on the slide shaft. This contamination may lead to drag on the carrier. Extreme drag results in a “carrier axis failure” fault and will stop the carrier motion.
46 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual 4. Using a cotton swab dampened with distilled water, wipe the seals and the rubber wiper in the service station until no more ink residue or dust can be removed. 5. With a dry swab, wipe all moisture from the seals and wipers.
Maintenance 47 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Cartridge Dimple Cleaning Figure 3-2. Cartridge Dimple Region. The cartridge dimple area can easily be contaminated by oils and dirt on fingers and hands or ink spilled onto them. This causes the cartridges to not receive some of the electrical signals for a proper firing of the jets.
48 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Flex Cable Contact Cleaning Figure 3-3. Flex Cable Contacts. Cleaning the flex cable contact area is very important due to the ease of which this area can become dirty. This also causes the cartridges to not receive all of the electrical signals for a proper firing of the jets.
Maintenance 49 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual gears with a stiff brush to knock off any debris. A cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove any ink that may have accumulated on the gears.
50 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Reseat Connectors on MPCB and Carrier Board Integrated circuits may become weakened or damaged by electrical discharge. Do not touch or work near in- tegrated circuits without wearing an ESD wrist strap. Ribbon connectors can be easily damaged if incorrectly handled.
Maintenance 51 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-5. Carrier PCB Connection Locations. Figures 3-4 and 3-5 shows the locations of all the connectors on the MPCB and carrier board respectively. To remove the ribbon cables from their connectors, lift the connector’s ribbon locking mechanism as shown in Figure 3-6.
52 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Replace Carrier Bushings The carrier bushings are rated for approximately 1500 hours of operational usage. Given an average of about 3 hours a day of printing for 104 weeks, results in 1560 hours. Therefore, it is safe to approximate 1500 hours into 2 years of continuous service.
Maintenance 53 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Stepper Motor W inding Resistance Check Figure 3-8. Stepper Motor. 1. Disconnect the stepper motor connection from the MPCB. 2. Using a standard ohmmeter or multimeter, measure between pins 1 (yellow wire) and 3.
54 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-9. Examples of Banding. Hardware banding is usually characterized by consistent banding strips as shown. It signifies a slippage in the media’s normal move- ment that is possibly due to the stepper motor, lower drive shaft assembly, or the rollguides on the back of the printer.
Maintenance 55 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Alignments/Adjustments The ENCAD Croma24 printers are designed with a minimum of maintenance requirements in mind. Most of the adjustments are controlled and performed via software/firmware interaction that require you to run a subroutine and enter values on the computer.
56 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual The “Current Heads (Y, M, C)” view represents the alignment of the heads as they are currently entered. This is just an overview of all heads and how they are aligned. Do not attempt to align the heads using this view.
Maintenance 57 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual X-Axis Calibration The X-axis calibration procedure ensures that the processing that drives the stepper motor is correct to minimize line length accuracy errors.
58 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual 2. Become familiar with the actions and results shown in Table 3-1. Note that these actions are performed from behind the printer. Table 3-1. Pinch Roller Adjustments. AC TI ON RE S UL T 1. Turn mo unti ng screw coun t erclockw i se (ccw ) .
Maintenance 59 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-13. Upper Roller Mounting. 3. If you loosen one of the mounting screws and the roller moves in one direction, and you need to move the roller in the opposite direction, tighten the screw that was loosened to its maximum torque (1 in.
60 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-15. Upper Roller Adjustment. Figure 3-15 shows how the motion (rapid drifting to the right or to the left) of the roller determines which mounting screw .
Maintenance 61 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-16. Carrier Head Height Tolerance. 1. Remove the lid and the right cover of the printer. See Chapter 5 for procedures. 2. Obtain the 3 tools (Micrometer Dial Gauge, Test Cartridge, and Measuring Tip Extender) from the Height Gauge Kit.
62 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual 3. Place the test cartridge upright on a flat surface and ‘zero’ the gauge by loosening the knob near the top and turning the dial until the needle is at the ‘0’ position on the dial. Tighten the knob. See Figure 3-18.
Maintenance 63 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Damage may occur to the micrometer gauge if the Carrier is moved without lifting up on the measuring tip. This action could also take the micrometer out of alignment and foul the results of the alignment.
64 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual 10. While lifting up the measuring tip of the micrometer, slide the Carrier to the left of the stabilizer as shown in Figure 3- 20. Position it as close to the screw as possible and drop the measuring tip onto the platen.
Maintenance 65 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Cr oma24 Contr ol Panel During the installation procedures for the Croma24 , a software Control Panel for this printer is installed onto the computer. This control panel provides a means to monitor and adjust certain vari- ables utilized by the printer.
66 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual This brings up the Maintenance Menu as seen in Figure 3-21. Figure 3-21. Maintenance Menu. Figure 3-21 shows that the Maintenance Menu for the Croma24 is divided into 3 submenus: Manufacturing Diagnostics Service Options Manufacturing Menu Figure 3-22.
Maintenance 67 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual The Manufacturing Submenu (Figure 3-22) consists of two proce- dures: Print Quality Test Deadband The procedures are primarily used in the manufacturing process and is adjusted correctly before it leaves the plant.
68 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-24. Deadband Slow/Fast Display. Figure 3-24 shows what the display will look like when printing either the fast or slow test if it is out of alignment. A correctly aligned printer will appear as if there is only a series of vertical lines printed.
Maintenance 69 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual The Diagnostics Menu as seen in Figure 3-25 consists of eight tests: Paper Sensor Test Fan Test Carrier Vibration Test Color Test Keypad Test LED Test Servo Motor Test Paper Motor Test Paper Sensor Test The Paper Sensor Test checks the operation of the optical paper sensor.
70 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Carriage Vibration Test The Carriage Vibration Test prints 5 sets of 3 parallel lines to test the vibration characteristics of the carrier assembly. Color Test Figure 3-28. Color Test. The Color Test prints a 1 inch swath of each color (total of 4) to test for banding.
Maintenance 71 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Keypad Test Figure 3-29. Keypad Test. The Keypad Test checks the keypads on the MPCB. The keypads are the microswitches that are activated whenever one of the tabs on the actuator is depressed. Each time a switch is activated and hold for a few seconds, a LED (or both LEDs) becomes illuminated.
72 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual The test is selectable in duration. The available time selections are: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, or 300 seconds, 10 or 30 minutes, or 1 hour. LED Test Figure 3-30. LED Test. The LED Test lights both LEDs on the printer.
Maintenance 73 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual The Servo Motor Test tests the servo motor by moving the carrier back and forth across the slide shaft. Speed is selectable to either slow or fast. The number of cycles the carrier does is selectable between 0 and 10,000 cycles.
74 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual Service Menu Figure 3-33. Service Menu. The Service Menu consists of ROM Information. Figure 3-34. ROM Info. The ROM Info screen displays the current firmware version, and date and time of development. This information helps the technician by providing a means of identifying the firmware loaded on the printer.
Maintenance 75 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual Figure 3-35. Service Special Information. The Service Special Information Menu displays information about the printers plot and ON time (in seconds) as well as the Maximum PWM/Position and Carriage Shut Down Position.
76 Maintenance Croma24 Service Manual To enter the BIT mode, apply power to the printer while simulta- neously depressing the ‘soft on’ button. Continue to hold onto the ‘soft on’ button until the carrier assembly has traveled halfway across the length of the platen.
Maintenance 77 MAINTENANCE Croma24 Service Manual The latest firmware version was included and installed onto the computer during the installation process.
