Safety Precautions
All safety procedures described here shall be strictly adhered to by all parties servicing and maintaining this product.

DANGER
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious bodily injury or loss of life.

1. Always disconnect the product from the power source and peripheral devices when servicing the product or performing maintenance.
2. When performing works described in this manual, do not connect to a power source until instructed to do so. Connecting to a power source causes high voltage
in the power supply unit and some electronic components even if the product power switch is off. If you need to perform the work with the power cable
connected to a power source, use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or loss of life.

1. Always wear protective goggles for disassembly and reassembly to protect your eyes from ink in working. If any ink gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with
clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
2. When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such products containing flammable gas is
prohibited.

This product uses off-carriage type ink supply mechanism. Therefore, the Printhead is
equipped with self-sealing valves1 so that the amount of ink fired from the Printhead is
not affected by variation in pressure inside the ink path caused by movements of the
carriage or ink supply operations.

characteristic of the valve, pressure variation in the input side does not affect the output side.

This section explains the head angular mecha adjustment for adjusting the inclination Misalignment of
of the Printhead on the CR Unit physically. the nozzle
locations
Overview
The nozzle arrangement of the μTFP4 head mounted on this printer differs from that
of the traditional printers. The nozzles of the same color are not arranged next to
each other. Therefore, the influence of the posture (inclination) of the Printhead of
this printer on the print quality is greater than that of the traditional printers' Print-
heads.
The inclination of the Printhead of the traditional printers is corrected with software
(the adjustment program).1 However, the inclination of the Printhead of this printer
is corrected mechanically by adjusting the head angular adjustment dial mounted on
the carriage mechanism based on the result of visual check of the adjustment pattern No inclination Inclined
printed with the adjustment program.
Figure 3-21. Definition of the inclination of the Printhead
In this adjustment, the inclination of the Printhead is defined as the amount of mis-
alignment of the nozzles on row H and the center points of the spaces between the
nozzles on row A shown in Figure 3-21. The purpose of the adjustment is to elimi-
nate the misalignment (the inclination of the Printhead) completely.

Range of adjustment
By rotating the head angular adjustment dial, the Printhead is rotated on the pivot
point on the bottom. The relationship between the rotational direction of the Head
Angular Adjustment Dial and that of the Printhead is as follows.

calculation result of the amount of the inclination of the Printhead based on the result of visual check of the
adjustment pattern. For the band feeding used in the draft mode, the head angular adjustment using software;
different from the mechanical inclination correction explained here, is used.

3.3.5 Inksystem mechanism


3.3.5.1 Overview
The inksystem mechanism of this product is composed of the Inksystem assy, Maintenance Box
and Maintenance Box.
The ink sucked by the Cap mechanism and Pump mechanism from the
Printhead is drained via the Waste Ink Tube and into the Waste Ink Pad in the
Maintenance Box.
The amount of waste ink is controlled by the counter in the firmware taking the
amount of evaporation into account so as not to let the ink leak out of the
printer because the waste ink exceeds the limit of the storage capacity.
Further, this product uses a mechanism by which the user him/herself can
replace the Maintenance Box.

Wiper
OVERVIEW
Pump motor
The inksystem mechanism of this product employs the direct acting type1 and
consists of the carriage lock mechanism, wiper mechanism, capping
mechanism, pump mechanism, and venting valve (valve mechanism).
All the mechanisms are driven by the pump motor. The drive force of the pump
motor is transmitted to each mechanism via transmission parts, such as the
pump-drive compound gear, clutch gear, intermittent gear, cam, and drive
lever.
Additionally, this product utilize a maintenance box (waste ink pad) that retains
waste ink from the cap, with which users can replace ink themselves.

 Viewpoint of DIS(DTS)/DCS
Before starting communication, faxes communicate their own functions on
the sending side and the receiving side, and then determine the
communication function and speed.
The receiving side fax machine transmits its own function to the sending
side fax machine by the DIS signal.
The sending fax machine receives the DIS signal from the receiving fax
machine and can use the information on the sending side and the receiving
side.
After selecting the maximum function set by the transmission side, you can
check the communication mode selected by the DCS signal
By checking the information of DIS (DTC), the contents of the capability
of the receiving side fax can check the communication mode selected by
the sending side fax by checking the information of the DCS.
The protocol monitor log is recorded and printed on only one sheet by one
communication.
If the protocol becomes long due to communication of a plurality of pages
and it does not fit on one page, the head protocol log is deleted and only the
last protocol log is recorded and printed.
Fax communications are created according to ITU, and the main ITUs
involved are T30. and T4.
DIS (DTC) DCS reads out the content of FIF (facsimile information field)
by referring to the bit allocation table of DIS (DTC) / DCS.

Time (10ms) The time when sent/received the signal. The difference of both time means the time of the signal.
Example) 02467 -> PIX
03289 -> PPS-MPS 03289 – 02467 = 822 x 10 ms = approx. 8.2 s (time of image signal)
Direction Sending or Receiving direction for signals. This differs from that of the sending or receiving in fax communication.
When sending a fax, signals (including image signal) and response signal become sending and receiving respectively.
These are reversed when receiving a fax.
Command/Response Name Defined in the first 2 digits or 4 digits of data in the FCF (Facsimile Control Field).
See “1.4.5.2 Abbreviation list of fax communication (fax recommendation T.30)”.
Data Data is composed of FCF (Facsimile Control Field) and FIF (Facsimile Information Field).
The first 2 digits (8 bits) or 4 digits (16 bits) stands for FCF, the latter means FIF.
Example 1) 03289 -> PPS-MPS?BF4F000031
FCF=BF4F=PPS-MPS
FIF=00=PC (page counter) page 1 (0x00 to 0xFF=0 to 255= add 1 to make it 1 to 256 pages)
00=BC(block counter) Block in the page is 1 (0x00 to 0xFF=0 to 255= add 1 to make it 1 to 256 blocks)
31=FC(flame counter) number of frame 50 (0x00 to 0xFF=0 to 255=add 1 to make it 1 to 256 frames)
1 block consists of 256 frames.
If the number of frame exceeds 256,separates the page with PPS-NULL to send.

Example 2) PPS-NULL BF00xxxxFF


FCF=BF00
FIF=FIF of the first PPS-NULL in the 1st page:0000FF=1st page, 1st block, 256th frame
FIF=FIF of the 2nd PPS-NULL in the 1st page:0001FF=1st page, 2nd block, 256th frame
FIF=FIF of the first PPS-NULL in the 2nd page:0100FF=2nd page, 2nd block, 256th frame

Minimum call signal detection level
It is possible to avoid troubles by changing the setting value in the case where
the call signal is erroneously detected due to the influence of noise.
However, if the set value is set too high, it is impossible to detect the calling
signal itself, so caution is required.
NTT line standard for call signal detection is 75 (65 to 83) Vms, but generally
ONU of PBX / optical line is lower than this standard.
010 IR DETECT LEVEL 13~60 13 Vrms
When changing this value, the ringing signal is measured with an

4.3.7.1 Fax troubleshooting basics
In this step we check 5 points.
To troubleshoot fax troubleshooting with the following steps. 1. What is the symptom of the trouble?
 Troubleshooting basic step  Who is reporting the trouble?
(User, administrator, communication partner of the printer)
 Step 1: Accurately grasp and identify trouble symptoms.  What kind of error code / error message are occurring?
 Step 2: Investigate the trouble error and specify the cause. (Communication management report, job history, protocol monitor log)
 What kind of trouble is occurring?
 Step 3: Correct the problem. Rather than a vague symptom report such as “Transmission not possible” or

As a result, it may cause trouble recurrence and another trouble to be induced. 2. Where is the trouble occurring?
 Occurred in printer, occurred in application, occurred in specific PC.
 Printer / PC of customer site, printer of customer office, equipment of customer's
communication partner.
3. When will the trouble occur?
 When has it occurred?
(OK till yesterday since the time of establishment, but the problem has suddenly
occurred today, etc.)
 Is it occurring at a specific time?
 Frequency of occurrence (always occurring, about once in 10 times).
 Has the environment changed before the problem occurred?
(Firm update, replacing ink cartridge, changed telephone line, moved the
installation location)

Step 1: Accurately understand and identify trouble symptoms. (continued)


4. What kind of operations and conditions will cause trouble?
 When trouble occurs, is it always the same operation?
 Does the problem occur only when a specific event occurs?
 Does the same problem occur with another device or another destination
communication?
5. Can you reproduce the trouble?
 Has the same trouble occurred also at the service base?
 Does the same problem occur with multiple devices and users?
 Can the trouble be reproduced by a specific operation or a specific opponent?
Step 2: Determine the cause by investigating the error of the trouble.
When a fax related error occurs, it is not only displayed on the panel but also recorded
as a log / report.
Refer also to these logs / reports and investigate and identify the cause of the trouble.
 Survey and collect communication management reports, protocol monitor
logs, and job history displays.
(Enable error code to be displayed by setting “report format” of communication
management report to “detailed information”)
 In outgoing trouble / communication trouble, in “PCM RECORDER”
communication recording and incoming trouble, “Measure the call signal on the
oscilloscope” is done.
 Investigate the cause based on the survey results.
 It is essential to understand the phase of facsimile transmission / reception in the
investigation of fax communication error.
Investigate with reference to logs / reports as to whether each phase error of
transmission / reception is somewhere.
 Contact the EPSON Service Department as necessary
Step 3: Resolve the problem
If the cause can be identified, implement the countermeasure.
Depending on the cause content, it can be restored by changing the setting of the user /
service parameter.
