Revision A

6.1 Overview

This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.

6.1.1 Cleaning

This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the Printhead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.

CAUTION

„ Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and

 

acetone to clean the exterior parts of the printer like the

 

Housing. These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the

 

components of the printer.

„Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside the printer.

„Do not scratch the coated surface of the PF roller. Use a soft brush to wipe off any dusts.

„Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the ink stain.

„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.

†Exterior parts

Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water, and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior parts are stained by the ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it off.

†Inside the printer

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.

†LD Roller

When paper loading function does not operate because friction of the LD roller is lowered by any paper dust, use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the paper dust.

6.1.2 Service Maintenance

If any abnormal print (dot missing, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer indicates the “Maintenance request error” (This error is displayed as “Service Required” in the STM3), take the following actions to clear the error.

6.1.2.1 Printhead cleaning

When dot missing or banding phenomenon has occurred, you need to perform the Printhead cleaning operation* by using the Printhead cleaning function. This function can be performed by the control panel operation, the printer driver utility and the Adjustment program.

*: Epson STYLUS NX100/NX105/SX100/SX105/TX100/TX101/TX102/TX103/ TX105/TX106/TX109/ME 300 have three modes for manual cleaning, and even during printing, the appropriate cleaning mode is automatically selected and performed according to various conditions. Therefore the ink consumption amount for manual cleaning varies depending on each mode.

6.1.2.2 Maintenance request error

Ink is used for the Printhead cleaning or cap flushing operation as well as the printing operation. When the ink is used for the Printhead cleaning or flushing operation, the ink is drained via the pump to the Waste ink pads. The amount of the waste ink is stored as the waste ink counter into the EEPROM on the Main Board. Due to this, when the waste ink counter has reached the limit of the absorbing capability of the Waste ink pads, the Maintenance call error is indicated on Status monitor 3. However, the limit value of the waste ink counter varies according to the usage.

request error.

 

 

 

 

„ Chapter 3 TROUBLESHOOTING (p.27)

 

 

 

When the maintenance request error has occurred, replace the waste ink pad with new one and clear the waste ink counter stored into the EEPROM. If the waste ink counter is closed to its limit, we recommend to replace the Waste ink pad with new one. This is because the Maintenance request error will may occur after returning the repaired product to the customer.
