TIB832 - XPJ-1641SR & XPJ-1682SR/WR Introduction of a new pump type

Mutoh has introduced a new type of ink pump for the XPJ-16xx series as following serial numbers:

• XPJ-1641SR: JF6U002001 or higher
• XPJ-1682SR: JE6U001001 or higher
• XPJ-1682WR: JN6U001001 or higher

As a consequence, additional pump settings have been added in the latest firmware on XPJ-1641SR, XPJ-1682SR and XPJ-1682WR. The old pump type will remain available since it's also used on other models.

This bulletin describes how to select the correct settings, depending of which kind of ink pump is used and when it has been replaced.

The following settings have been added in the Diagnostics / Counter menu, in the following firmware versions (or higher):

• v2.00: Pump Type ("Type A / "Type B")
• v2.01: "Pump count" has been added in the Diagnostics / Counter menu
