2.1.1.4 Ink
System
Ink system mechanism consists of 1)cap mechanism, 2)pump mechanism, 3)carriage lock
mechanism, 4)waste ink absorber and 5)ink sequence. Out of these mechanism, from 1) to 4)
are physical mechanism and parts which are mounted on the printer mechanism and 5) ink
sequence is performed automatically by firmware. Also, unlike previous models, since
Stylus Color 600 has no engage/disengage mechanism to change over pump mechanism and
paper feed mechanism, it is one of the major characteristics that pump and platen are always
at work whenever the PF motor is driven. The figure below shows head positions when the ink
system and various ink sequence are performed.
