DANGER Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in serious or fatal personal injury. Great caution should be exercised in performing
procedures preceded by DANGER Headings.

WARNING Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in damage to equipment.

The precautionary measures itemized below should always be observed when performing repair/maintenance procedures.

DANGER
1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PRODUCT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR PROCEDURES.

2. NO WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THE UNIT BY PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH BASIC SAFETY MEASURES AS DICTATED FOR ALL ELECTRONICS
TECHNICIANS IN THEIR LINE OF WORK.

3. WHEN PERFORMING TESTING AS DICTATED WITHIN THIS MANUAL, DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. WHEN
THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE CONNECTED, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN WORKING ON POWER SUPPLY AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.

4. WHEN DISASSEMBLING OR ASSEMBLING A PRODUCT, MAKE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES TO AVOID INJURIER FROM METAL PARTS WITH SHARP EDGES.

WARNING
1. REPAIRS ON EPSON PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN EPSON CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN.

2. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SOURCE VOLTAGES IS THE SAME AS THE RATED VOLTAGE, LISTED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER/RATING PLATE. IF THE EPSON PRODUCT
HAS A PRIMARY AC RATING DIFFERENT FROM AVAILABLE POWER SOURCE, DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE POWER SOURCE.

3. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING PRINTED CIRCUIT
BOARDS AND/OR INDIVIDUAL CHIPS.

4. IN ORDER TO PROTECT SENSITIVE MICROPROCESSORS AND CIRCUITRY, USE STATIC DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAPS, WHEN
ACCESSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS.

5. DO NOT REPLACE IMPERFECTLY FUNCTIONING COMPONENTS WITH COMPONENTS WHICH ARE NOT MANUFACTURED BY EPSON. IF SECOND SOURCE IC OR
OTHER COMPONENTS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED ARE USED, THEY COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EPSON PRODUCT, OR COULD VOID THE
WARRANTY OFFERED BY EPSON.

5.3.2.2 USB ID Input

A specific USB ID is stored in EEPROM on the Main Board. Therefore, it is required
to input a USB ID when you have replaced the Main Board with a new one.
The USB ID, which is a specific 18-digit alphanumeric character string, has been
recorded at a certain address on EEPROM. A USB ID is assigned at the factory as
follows.
„ Manufacture process line No. (3 digits)
„ PC No. (2 digits)
„ Date (12 digits) -The built-in time data of the PC is used.
„ “0” (1 digit)
In repair, the 10-digit product serial number is used as the 10 digits of the new USB ID,
and the new USB ID is completed with an 8-digit character string which is produced by
Adjustment Program and automatically added to the serial number. Then input the new
USB ID in EEPROM on the new Main Board.

C A U T IO N Be sure to make this adjustment when you have replaced the CR
Motor or Power Supply Board with a new one. (In the case of
removal or replacement of Main Board, only when the backup of
the data in EEPROM cannot be executed)
Do not execute this function even when any component other than
above has been removed or replaced.

In this adjustment, the load on the mechanism is calculated, by conversion, from the
current in the CR Motor. Based on this data, the heat generation timing of the CR 1
Motor is calculated precisely and registered in EEPROM. Thus this adjustment
optimizes the protective operation timing during continuous driving of the carriage.

cleaning sequence.
† Maintenance Error
Ink is used for the operation such as cleaning as well as printing. Therefore, the
printer waste certain amount of ink and drains it into waste ink pad, while counting
the amount of the waste ink.
Once the amount of the waste ink reaches the predetermined limit, the printer
indicates "Fatal Error" (LED: blink) and the waste ink pad should be replaced.
„ Overflow Counter (Protection Counter A) count up >= 44436
„ Timing for replacing the Waste Ink pad
When the total amount of the waste ink reaches the predetermined limit, the
printer indicates "Fatal Error" (LED: blink). Also, During repair servicing,
Confirm firmware version, select code page, nozzle check pattern together
with overflow counter.
If the ink counter value is close to its upper limit, notify your customer and
recommend that the waste ink pad is to be replaced. (if the waste ink pad is
not replaced at that time, there is the possibility that "Maintenance Error" will
occur just after the printer is retuned to the customer.)
Once you have the confirmation from the customer, replace the waste ink pad.
„ Replacement procedure
Refer to "4.6.4 Waste Ink Pads" on page 72.

Roller), perform cleaning a second time after reversing the orientation of the
adhesive surface.
C A U T IO N „ Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine as they
may deform or deteriorate plastic and rubber products.
„ Be careful not to damage any components when you clean
inside the printer.
„ Do not scratch the surface of PF roller assembly. Use soft
brush to wipe off any dusts. Use a soft cloth moistened with
alcohol to remove the ink stain.
„ Do not habitually use the cleaning sheets included with the
media. Habitual use can cause removal of the PF Roller
coating.
There is no problem when the adhesive side of the cleaning
sheet is faced toward the ASF LD Roller for cleaning of the
ASF LD Roller.

† Exterior parts
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior
parts are stained with ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it
off.
† Inside the printer
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.
† Document glass
Remove dust or any paper with a clean dry cloth. In case dirt is serious or alien
substance is stick, wipe it off with a cloth moistened with neutral detergent. In case
Stain is remained, wipe again with a dry clean cloth.

6.3.3 Printer Lubrication Point

Type and suitable volume of grease lubricated to Printer is decided base on factory
evaluation. Accordingly, definitely use suitable volume of designated grease to
designated point for repair and maintenance of products. Designated grease and usage
point are shown as below.

C A U T IO N „ Never use grease except for designated one, as others must

badly affect and damage machinery life/function of the
product.
„ As suitable volume is also designated based on evaluation
result, avoid applying undesignated volume.
