2-3. Special Notes on Assembling
(1) Carriage rail and main chassis adjustment
< Carriage rail >
Perform the following adjustments when attaching the carriage rail:
1) Before loosening the screws, mark the positions of the boss next to the screw (left photo) and of the
hole next to the screw (right photo).
2) In attaching the carriage rail, make sure that the rail fits to the marks made in step 1) respectively,
then fasten the screws.
3) Be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that the print quality is proper and the
print head is not contacting the paper.
< Main chassis >
After the main chassis is attached, be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that
the print quality is proper and the print head is not contacting the paper.
< Confirmation test >
Using Photo Paper Pro II, print an image and confirm that the print quality is proper, and the print head is
free from contacting the paper.
If the print quality is not proper, or the print head contacts the paper, adjust the head-to-paper distance in
the following procedures:
< How to adjust the head-to-paper distance >
1) Mark the current position of the screws at the both ends of the chassis (step 1) for the carriage rail).
2) Loosen the screws, and adjust the head-to-paper distance.
- To prevent the print head from contacting the paper, raise the carriage rail from the current position.
- To improve the print quality, lower the carriage rail from the current position.

3. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING
3-1. Ink Absorber Replacement
In the iP1188, the ink absorber counter cannot be reset by the Service Tool. Instead, the logic board needs
to be replaced. For this reason, when replacing the main ink absorber, be sure to also replace the right and
left ink absorbers.
How to replace the ink absorbers (time required: approx. 13 minutes):
: screw
: claw
1) Remove the screws and external housing.
2) Remove the screws and chassis.
3) Detach the Paper Lifting Plate, and remove the screws from the Drive Unit.
4) Remove the Drive Unit and Cap Blade Unit, then replace the Main Ink Absorber.
There is a spring under the Cap Blade Unit.
Be cautious not to extend it too much when
removing the Cap Blade Unit.
(13/19)
5) Remove the Print Head Guide and the LF Roller.
While releasing the boss, rotate the
shaft to fit the shaft in the groove, then
remove the LF Roller.
6) Detach the Platen Unit, and replace the Right and Left Ink Absorbers.
3-2. Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorbers
Replace the ink absorber in accordance with the "Guideline for Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorber"
even when the ink absorber is not full. (Related Service Information #Q-12E/J-0188)
< Guideline for Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorber >
Replace the ink absorber when it falls in either Criteria 1 or Criteria 2.
Criteria
Criteria 1:
The ink absorber life* is 2
years or less.
Criteria 2:
The ink absorber counter
value is 80% or more.
Purpose
To avoid re-repair for ink absorber
replacement in a short period of
time after repair for other reasons.
To prevent ink leakage during return
of the repaired printer to users.
How to know the criteria values
EEPROM information print and the quick
reference table (refer to Service
Information #Q-12E/J-0188 for details).

< How to judge >
Print the EEPROM information, and check the "D" (ink absorber counter) value.
Step 1: Is "D" 80% or more?
Yes (80% or more) -> Replace the ink absorber.
No (less than 80%) -> Proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Does "D" fall in any of the thresholds in the Quick Reference Table below?

2-3. Special Notes on Assembling
(1) Carriage rail and main chassis adjustment
< Carriage rail >
Perform the following adjustments when attaching the carriage rail:
1) Before loosening the screws, mark the positions of the boss next to the screw (left photo) and of the
hole next to the screw (right photo).
2) In attaching the carriage rail, make sure that the rail fits to the marks made in step 1) respectively,
then fasten the screws.
3) Be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that the print quality is proper and the
print head is not contacting the paper.
< Main chassis >
After the main chassis is attached, be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that
the print quality is proper and the print head is not contacting the paper.
< Confirmation test >
Using Photo Paper Pro II, print an image and confirm that the print quality is proper, and the print head is
free from contacting the paper.
If the print quality is not proper, or the print head contacts the paper, adjust the head-to-paper distance in
the following procedures:
< How to adjust the head-to-paper distance >
1) Mark the current position of the screws at the both ends of the chassis (step 1) for the carriage rail).
2) Loosen the screws, and adjust the head-to-paper distance.
- To prevent the print head from contacting the paper, raise the carriage rail from the current position.
- To improve the print quality, lower the carriage rail from the current position.

3. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING
3-1. Ink Absorber Replacement
In the iP1188, the ink absorber counter cannot be reset by the Service Tool. Instead, the logic board needs
to be replaced. For this reason, when replacing the main ink absorber, be sure to also replace the right and
left ink absorbers.
How to replace the ink absorbers (time required: approx. 13 minutes):
: screw
: claw
1) Remove the screws and external housing.
2) Remove the screws and chassis.
3) Detach the Paper Lifting Plate, and remove the screws from the Drive Unit.
4) Remove the Drive Unit and Cap Blade Unit, then replace the Main Ink Absorber.
There is a spring under the Cap Blade Unit.
Be cautious not to extend it too much when
removing the Cap Blade Unit.
(13/19)
5) Remove the Print Head Guide and the LF Roller.
While releasing the boss, rotate the
shaft to fit the shaft in the groove, then
remove the LF Roller.
6) Detach the Platen Unit, and replace the Right and Left Ink Absorbers.
3-2. Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorbers
Replace the ink absorber in accordance with the "Guideline for Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorber"
even when the ink absorber is not full. (Related Service Information #Q-12E/J-0188)
< Guideline for Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorber >
Replace the ink absorber when it falls in either Criteria 1 or Criteria 2.
Criteria
Criteria 1:
The ink absorber life* is 2
years or less.
Criteria 2:
The ink absorber counter
value is 80% or more.
Purpose
To avoid re-repair for ink absorber
replacement in a short period of
time after repair for other reasons.
To prevent ink leakage during return
of the repaired printer to users.
How to know the criteria values
EEPROM information print and the quick
reference table (refer to Service
Information #Q-12E/J-0188 for details).

*
The estimated number of months until the ink absorber will become full
< How to judge >
Print the EEPROM information, and check the "D" (ink absorber counter) value.
Step 1: Is "D" 80% or more?
Yes (80% or more) -> Replace the ink absorber.
No (less than 80%) -> Proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Does "D" fall in any of the thresholds in the Quick Reference Table below?
(14/19)
Yes -> Replace the ink absorber.
No -> No need to replace the ink absorber.
Quick Reference Table
