4. PRINTER TRANSPORTATION

This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning after repair, etc.
1) In the service mode, press the Power button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting plate of the sheet feed
unit is raised.
2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage.
See Caution 1 below.
3) Turn off the printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned off, the carriage is
automatically locked in place.)
See Caution 2 below.
Caution:
(1) If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink (the pigment-based black ink in particular) is
likely to dry. For this reason, keep the print head installed in the printer even during transportation.
(2) Securely lock the carriage in the home position, to prevent the carriage from moving and applying stress to the carriage
flexible cable, or causing ink leakage, during transportation.
Memo:
If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, attach the protective cap (used when the packing was opened) to
the print head (to protect the print head face from damage due to shocks).

1. NEW TECHNOLOGIES

1) Print speed
With the new print head (total 4,608 nozzles, 3 sizes of ink droplet), higher photo print speed on 4x6 size paper has been achieved.

- 4 x 6 photo (PP-101, standard, borderless)*1: Approx. 21 sec.

- Camera Direct printing (4 x 6, borderless)*2: Approx. 69 sec.

Reference:

Max speed (Custom 5) Standard

Black text (plain paper, FINE pattern) 31ppm 14.8ppm
Color (plain paper, FINE pattern) 24ppm 11.6ppm

*1: Based on Canon standard pattern. Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document
complexity, print mode, page coverage, type of paper used and does not take into account data processing time on host computer.
*2: When printing a 6 megapixel image taken by certain Canon digital camera from PictBridge on default settings using Photo Paper
Plus Glossy without border. Actual print speed may vary depending on image data, print mode, type of paper used and device that
the printer is connected to.

2) Design
With the silver frame holding the main body from the bottom, the iP5300 wears a stately look in a fresh design. The square form makes the
printer look more compact and shorter in height.

3) New support of DVD / CD print function in Canada model

DVD / CD print function is now available in the Canada model as well as other models.

4) Remaining ink amount indication sequence in 2006 products

In previous models, indication of the remaining ink amount differs between the individual ink tank system and the FINE cartridge system.
In the 2006 models, the unified specifications have been adopted.

Major changes from the 2005 models:

- In Direct printing, printing will not be suspended at "Low Ink" indication. (Printing will start without a click by a user at
the "Low Ink" message.)
- The remaining ink status will be indicated by the following 4 levels:

Low: No raw ink is detected by the optical method.

(From this point, the remaining ink amount will be determined by the dot count.)
Out: No ink remains according to the dot count.
A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink may have run out.
Empty: No raw ink is detected by the optical method, and the dot count value exceeds the
threshold of complete exhaustion of ink.
A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink has run out.
By pressing and holding the Resume/Cancel button for 5 seconds or longer, the function
to detect the remaining ink amount can be disabled.
Unknown: Raw ink remains, but the dot count value exceeds the threshold of complete exhaustion of
ink.
By pressing and holding the Resume/Cancel button for 5 seconds or longer, the function
to detect the remaining ink amount can be disabled.

The remaining ink amount will be checked at any of the following timings:

- At the end of paper ejection*1

- At the end of print head cleaning

2. CLEANING MODE AND AMOUNT OF INK PURGED

2-1. Cleaning

To prevent printing problems due to bubbles, dust, or ink clogging, print head cleaning is performed before the start of printing (when the
cleaning flag is on), except in the following cases:
- Cleaning on arrival:
1st: Performed when the top cover is closed after the print head and ink tanks are installed.
2nd: Performed before automatic print head alignment.
3rd: Performed before start of printing after automatic print head alignment.
- Manual cleaning / deep cleaning: Performed manually.

*1: The counter for the on-arrival cleaning is checked at opening and closing of the top cover (the first opening and closing only), before
start of printing, at dot-count cleaning (at paper ejection), and at manual cleaning, and the on-arrival cleaning is performed according
to the counter value. After each on-arrival cleaning, the counter value is reduced by 1.
When the counter value is 3, 2, or 1: On-arrival cleaning is performed.
When the counter value is 0: On-arrival cleaning is not performed.
*2: When 24 to 504 hours have elapsed since the previous Black cleaning, timer cleaning - 0 is performed. However, this cleaning will be
conducted up to 5 times from the printer installation, and no further timer cleaning - 0 will be performed.
*3: When only the black ink tank is replaced, Black cleaning is performed. One of the color ink tanks is replaced, Color cleaning is
performed. Both the black and color ink tanks are replaced, All-in-sequence cleaning is performed.

2-2. Moisturizing Timer Sequence

If the top cover is opened for a long time, the print head is left uncapped and pre-printing ink ejection is not performed for that duration. After
that, ink may not be ejected at start of printing or at pre-printing ink ejection operation.
To prevent the print head nozzles from getting dried, each opening of the top cover is counted as well as its duration, and capping or purging is
performed according to the counted value to moisturize the nozzles.
During the capping operation, the message is displayed on the monitor indicating printer maintenance is being performed.

The moisturizing timer calculates a total amount of the following:

(1) A period of time the print head moves from the standby position to the print head replacement position.
(2) A period of time the print head stays in the print head replacement position.
(3) A period of time the print head returns from the print head replacement position to the standby position.

Timer counter value Less than 300 sec. 300 sec. or more
Capping time 30 sec. 60 sec.

*2: Locations to clean in servicing when soiling on paper in automatic duplex printing persists:

*3: How to make and set the ASF sub-roller cleaning sheet:
1) Fold a sheet of plain paper lengthwise in half.

2-10
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 2) Fold the paper at approx. 60 mm from the end, and fold the folded end in half backward, as shown below.

3) Moisten the folded end portion (indicated by the blue circle in the figure below) using a wipe, and set the paper in the ASF so that the
moistened edge of the paper contacts the 2 sub-rollers. Then, fold the other end of the paper along the ASF cover edge to hook the
paper to the ASF cover, as shown below.

4) Press and hold the Resume/Cancel button until the Power LED blinks 3 times, then release the button to perform the paper feed roller
cleaning. For details, see "Standalone printer operation."

* Occurrence level:
A: The symptom is likely to occur frequently. (Caution required)
B: The symptom may occur under certain conditions, but likeliness is assumed very low in practical usage.
C: The symptom is unlikely to be recognized by the user, and no practical issues are assumed.
