2.2.1 Operation Sequence at Power-on 0012-6493 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S Shown below is the flowchart of the initialization sequence from the moment the power is turned on to the moment the printer enters the online state. The time required for initialization is less than 1 minute*.
2.2.2 Operation Sequence at Power-off 0012-6494 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S Turning off the power cuts off the voltage to all drive systems. At this time, the firmware starts the power-off sequence as shown below. This printer immediately suspends all operations in progress and stops whenever the power cord is unplugged or a cover such as the top cover is opened. In this case, the printer may stop without capping the print head.

Ink mist that floats inside the printer and ink splashes from the media are collected in the filter through the front duct and the air flow path inside the printer by the driving of the mist fan, thus preventing mist from discharged outside the printer.

Page 230
Chapter 2 The pick-up timing of the paper fed to the rear of the printer is controlled by the paper detection sensor. Paper detection sensor F-2-42 b) Manual feed (from rear) The paper loaded in the paper tray provided at the rear of the printer is fed onto the platen for printing. This method of feeding paper can be used only when an acceptable media type is selected from the Manual Feed menu in the user mode.
2.3.3.2.4 Manual Feed (from Front) Sequence 0013-4174 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S / iPF6300 / iPF6350 / iPF6300S This sequence can be performed according to the messages shown on the operation panel only when a specific type of media is selected after selecting the manual feed mode from the menu shown on the operation panel.

Chapter 2 Cut sheet loading (manual) Detection of cut sheet *1 Light intensity/ Head hight adjustment Detection of paper width Detection of skewed movement of paper End of cut sheet pick-up operation Printing The auto roll feed unit starts feeding the cut sheet when the roll media detection sensor detects the media. When the auto roll feed unit is not mounted, the printer starts feeding the media when the paper detection sensor detects the media.
0016-8218 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S / iPF6300 / iPF6350 / iPF6300S The feed roller unit consists of media feeding mechanisms such as feed rollers driven by the feed motor and the pinch roller unit operating in conjunction with the feed rollers.

2.3.3.3.1 Structure of Cutter unit 0016-8205 iPF6100 / iPF6200 / iPF6000S If roll media are used, the cutter unit attached on the front of the spur unit cuts the leading end of the media on loading and cuts the media on ejection. Whether to perform cutting or not is determined by the choice of the main menu and the specifications of the printer driver.
