Determining the Printhead ID
Normally, printhead IDs cannot be determined without removing the printhead. However, the adjustment
program is designed to read printhead voltage data stored in the EEPROM on the main control board. This
section describes how to find out the printhead voltage, which contains the printhead ID.
1. Connect the printer to the host computer with a parallel interface cable.
2. Run the adjustment program on the host computer.
3. Enter the market setting (Refer to page 4-4).
4. Select Adjustment & Check from the main menu. Press Enter; the Adjustment & Check menu appears.
5. Select A4 and press Enter; the printer prints an A4 check pattern. See the paragraph under 6. TITLE; the
printhead voltages are printed in 8 digits, shown in bold letters in the example below:
Look at the 2nd line, which shows the black printhead voltage (
BK
) and the color printhead voltage
(
YMC
). The 2nd and 3rd digits show the printhead ID for normal dot, and the 5th digit shows the rank
value. The last 2 digits show the printhead ID for micro dot, as shown below:
[Black printhead]
18
: Printhead ID for normal dot
2
: Rank value
16
: Printhead ID for micro dot
[Color printhead]
16
: Printhead ID for normal dot
2
: Rank value
15
: Printhead ID for micro dot
6. Omit the “0”s from the printhead voltage to get the printhead ID, as shown below:
Black printhead ID (
BK
): 18216
Color printhead ID (
YMC
): 16215
