2.3.3 Replacing the waste ink absorber

When the waste ink absorber becomes full, an error occurs to indicate that the tank must be
replaced.
The printer will not operate until the error is canceled.
Be careful that the waste ink does not splash when you remove the waste ink absorber from the
printer.
When the waste ink is full, the air flow fan unit is hold approx. 3.0kg, the maintenance-jet
absorber unit is hold approx. 0.3kg and the waste ink absorber unit is hold approx. 10.5kg in the
printer.

air flow fan unit and the maintenance-jet absorber unit.
(Refer to Part 5: 5.2.11 Waste ink absorber unit)
After replacing the waste ink absorber in the printer, be sure to always clear the
counter value of the waste ink absorber using the Service mode. The counter
value of the waste ink absorber is stored in the EEPROM (IC428) on the engine
controller. Therefore, when replacing the engine controller, be sure to refer to Part
5: 5.2.12 Boards.

2.3.4 Refilling the ink

After removing the ink in the printer according to the automatic or manual ink draining
procedure to disassemble, reassemble, or transport/ship the printer, refill the ink as soon as
possible upon completion of those tasks.

d) Highest mode
In super-high quality print mode, a single band is printed using an 10-pass operation.
This mode is used by selecting the "Highest" Fine option under Print Quality settings in the
printer driver.
For proof paper, the mask pattern control divides the image data into five sections for each
color, and then nozzle block control is used to divide this data into two sections for 10-pass
bi-directional printing.
For other paper, the mask pattern control divides the image data into 10 sections for each
color for 10-pass bi-directional printing.

3.5 Purge Unit

3.5.1 Functions of purge unit
To maintain high print quality, the purge unit performs maintenance of the nozzles in the
printhead.
The functions of the purge unit include capping, cleaning, and ink supply.

a) Capping
Capping prevents nozzle drying and dust adhesion by pressing the cap of the purge unit to
the face plate on the nozzle section of the printhead.
Capping is performed when printing is completed, at the start of the suction operation, and
when switching to the standby state due to an error.
The capping operation also connects the ink passage between the printhead and purge unit.

b) Cleaning
Cleaning includes a wiping operation for removing paper fibers and dried ink deposits
adhering to the nozzle face plates of the printhead, a suction operation for removing ink from
the nozzles and drawing new ink to refresh the nozzles, and a maintenance jet operation
where ink is sprayed from the nozzles to the cap or maintenance jet tray to remove bubbles in
the nozzles and dust and other foreign particles near the nozzles. The combination of these
three maintenance operations improves nozzle discharge performance.

Details of the cleaning function are shown in the table below.

Part 5: Maintenance W8200/W8200Pg

6.2.2 Adjustment of the head holder tilt lever

This adjustment is performed when the edge sections of the image are not sharp when printing
in Draft mode (2-pass).
After adjusting the head holder tilt lever, mark the number visible from the window of the head
holder tilt lever with the number inside the sensor cover.

Figure 5-47 Adjusting the Head Holder Tilt Lever

6.2.3 Reset for dye/pigment model setting
This procedure is used as a remedy when the dye/pigment model registration inside the printer
is set incorrectly due to transport problems or misoperation at initial installation (such as when
the pigment ink tanks are mistakenly loaded after installing a dye printhead).

There are three possible remedy procedures based on four situations when the problem
occurs.
a. When the correct combination of ink tanks cannot be inserted
(Due to transport conditions, the misinsertion prevention flag has been moved.)
b. When realized your mistake while installing the first color of ink tanks
(The ink supply needle has not been inserted into the ink tank*1, but the misinsertion
prevention flag is locked.)
c. When realized your mistake after installing one ink tank or more (before closing the right cover)
(The ink supply needle is inserted into the ink tank and ink is supplied to the ink tank unit.)
d. When realized your mistake after installing one ink tank or more and closing the right
cover*2
(The ink supply needle is inserted into the ink tank and ink is supplied to the ink tank unit.)

*1: When the ink supply needle is inserted into the ink tank, even before ink filling, ink flows
into the sub-buffer of the ink tank unit spontaneously.
*2: The closing of the right cover as a trigger, the types of print head and ink tanks are
checked, and if the mismatch is detected, an error (E02802 or E02805 to E02809) will be
displayed.

The remedy procedure for each case is shown in the next page.

W8200/W8200Pg Part 5: Maintenance

a. When the correct combination of ink tanks cannot be inserted

b. When realized your mistake while installing the first color of ink tanks
1) Check that the ink supply needle has not been inserted into the ink tank*1 and no ink is being
supplied into the ink tank unit.
2) Return the misinsertion prevention flag of the respective color back to the default setting.
(See “Part 5: 6.2.1 Mistaken insertion of ink tanks prevention mechanism setting”.)
3) Install the correct ink tank, and then continue with the installation operation.
*1: When the ink supply needle is inserted into the ink tank, even before ink filling, ink flows
into the sub-buffer of the ink tank unit spontaneously.

c. When realized your mistake after installing one ink tank or more (before closing the right cover)
1) Check that no ink is being supplied inside the ink tube unit.
2) Replace the ink tank unit. (See “Part 5: 5.2.10 Ink tank unit”.)
3) Install the correct ink tank, and then continue with the installation operation.

d. When realized your mistake after installing one ink tank or more and closing the right
cover*2
1) As an error (E02802 or E02805 to E02809) is shown on the display, install the correct
combination of printhead and ink tanks according to the error.
2) Perform ink filling*3 following the installation sequence. After filling ink, when “Load Roll
Media” is shown on the display, turn off the power.
3) Turn on the printer while holding down the ONLINE button, ENTER button, CANCEL button,
and PAPER SOURCE button.
4) Check that “Canon W8200” is shown on the display, and then release the buttons. When
printer enters Reset mode for the dye/pigment model setting, all the LEDs on the operation
panel turn on.
5) “TYPE RESET” is shown on the display.
6) Select “YES”, and then reset the dye/pigment model setting in the printer.
When reset is selected, the ink drain sequence is executed. It takes approximately 4
minutes for the process to be completed.
7) Check that “Turn Power Off!!” is shown on the display, and then turn off the power.
8) Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
9) Move the carriage, and then takeout the printhead.
10) Replace the following parts
• Ink tube unit : See "Part 5: 5.2.6 Ink tube unit".
• Purge unit : See "Part 5: 5.2.9 Purge unit".
• Ink tank unit : See "Part 5: 5.2.10 Ink tank unit".
11) Turn on the printer, and then continue with the installation operation (from installation of the
printhead). At this time, replace the printhead with a new one*4.

*2: The closing of the right cover as a trigger, the types of print head and ink tanks are
checked, and if the mismatch is detected, an error (E02802 or E02805 to E02809) will be
displayed.
*3: When the right cover is closed, even if the error (E02802 or E02805 to E02809) is
detected, the type of inks such as dye or pigment is registered inside the printer. If the ink
filling process in the installation sequence is not terminated correctly, the registered type
of ink in the printer cannot be reset because of internal communications.
*4: It is necessary to replace the printhead as the mixed dye-and-pigment inks have been
flowed in the printhead.
