Note 1: For both PC connection and Directing printing, only one type of media is accessible at the same time.
Priority is assigned to each slot, so that if multiple media are inserted into multiple slots at the same time, an accessible slot is determined in the order of priority.
2: In order to select the medium inserted into an invalid slot, the medium in the valid slot needs to be removed.
For direct printing:
Only the image files in a valid slot are determined to be valid and assigned photo numbers. The number of images does not change even if media are inserted into unselected slots.
For PC connection (Windows): Only one removable disk drive is displayed; and only the medium in a valid slot can be accessed from the removable disk. Media inserted in unselected slots are not accessible.
For PC connection (Macintosh): Only the medium in a valid slot is mounted onto the desktop. Media inserted in unselected slots can not be mounted onto the desktop.
3: Selecting a slot when power is turned on: If media are inserted into multiple slots when power is turned on, an accessible slot is determined in accordance with the above order of priority.
4: Selecting a slot after power is turned on: When the medium is removed from the valid slot, the slot of the second highest priority becomes valid (if a medium is inserted there). It is not necessary to reinsert the
medium before it is accessed.

2.3 Banding Reduction System (BRS)/ Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP)
Overview
To ensure high-speed printing and high print quality, this printer is provided with the Banding Reduction System (BRS) and Paper Feed Profile Correction (PFP) function, which are
outlined below:

BRS

Conventional models perform overlapping printing (two-pass or fourpass printing) to reduce banding for ensuring high print quality.
However, the printer provided with the Banding Reduction System
corrects the dot generation rate (amount of settled ink) for each raster,
and performs one-pass printing. This function ensures both high print
quality (reduction of banding) and high-speed printing.

PFP

The conventional paper feed adjustment method is such that the

correction value calculated from the data based on a specific part of the
sheet is reflected to almost all over the sheet. Therefore, the
conventional method cannot cope with the fluctuating error in the paper Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy
feed rate during paper feeding. However, the Paper Feed Profile
Premium Photo Paper Glossy
Correction function measures the error in the paper feed rate at each of

minutely distributed measuring points on the sheet and provides a
correction value for each point. Thus with this function, the printer
realizes high print quality and high-speed printing on a supported paper
type and in a supported printing resolution.

How to prepare correction data

For each of BRS and PFP, print the relevant pattern for correction data preparation and read the printed pattern through the scanner. Then calculate the correction data and store the data
in the serial flash ROM on the Main Board. The correction data are applied to printing in the supported printing mode.

4.1.3 Preparation before Disassembly

Read precautions described in the next section before starting.

Make the following preparations before disassembling the Stylus PHOTO RX560/580/
590:

W A R N IN G

Remove the batteries and unplug the AC adapter before

disassembling the Stylus PHOTO RX560/580/590.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid
injury from sharp metal edges.
To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static
discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when
accessing internal components.

Disassembly and Assembly

When the Main Board is to be replaced, make a copy of the EEPROM data.
When the Carriage Assy is to be moved out of its home position, locate it at a
position other than the home position before starting disassembly by turning the
power ON and turning it OFF timely.
As soon as the repaired product has been returned to the user, there may be a case
a maintenance call occurs because of the expiration of the life of a service part.
Avoid such a case, if possible, as follows: Check the maintenance counter for
regularly replaced parts before disassembly. If the life of any part is found almost
expired, communicate with the user to that effect. If the user's consent is obtained,
replace also the relevant service parts with new ones.

C H E C K
P O IN T

Described below is the platen gap (PG) adjustment.

Purpose:
Adjust the distance between the head surface and the Paper Guide Front Assy
(platen) properly and adjust the parallelism on the 0th column side and on the 80th
columns side to ensure reliable print quality.
Once the Carriage Assy and/or Adjustment Bushes have been removed or
whenever necessary for any other reason, make this adjustment to correct the
deviation of the platen gap.

Make this adjustment after installing the mechanism unit in the

Housing Lower. (Install the Linear Scale after adjustment.)
Refer to 4.2.9 Printer Mechanism (p.55)
With Stylus PHOTO RX560/580/590, four stages of PG setting
are available by means of the APG Mechanism. However, make
this adjustment with the mechanism in the minimum PG
position (PG-: 1.2 mm).

evaluation at factory. Accordingly, definitely use a suitable volume of designated
grease to the designated points for repair and maintenance of the product. Designated
types of grease and application points are as shown below.

Roller Shaft and the

Lubrication PF
shaft holders (2
Points
positions: right and left)

C A U T IO N

Never use any grease other than those specified, since such
grease can affect adversely the mechanical life and functions of
this product or result in damage to this equipment.
As the suitable volume is also designated based on evaluation
result, avoid applying any undesignated volume.
Do not lubricate any part other than those specified. Take care
that no grease adheres to any paper transport parts, such as
rollers, or the Printhead; otherwise, the print quality may drop.
