EPSON Stylus PHOTO 810/820/830

Revision B

2.Carriage lock operation by the Change lever

Unlike the previous printer (Stylus COLOR 680), this printer does not have the Carriage lock lever with the Wiper.

Instead of the Carriage lock lever, the Change lever is set to the front side of the printer while the CR unit is in the CR home position.

(As for the detailed mechanism for setting the Change lever, refer to Figure 2-8Step 2)

2.1.6 Ink Sequence

†Initial ink charge

After the printer is purchased and the power is turned on for the first time, the printer must perform the initial ink charge to charge the ink inside the ink cavity. When the initial ink charge is completed properly, the printer releases the flag inside the EEPROM. The Stylus PHOTO 810/820 takes 80 seconds to complete the initial ink charge sequence and consumes about 1/10 of the brand-new black ink cartridge & about 1/8 of the brand-new color ink cartridge. If the power is turned off during the initial ink charge, the CL1' will be performed at next power on timing.

†Manual Cleaning

The Stylus PHOTO 810/820 provides four types of manual cleaning to clean air bubbles, clogged ink with viscosity or foreign substances.

The following manual CL can be performed by the control panel operation, the printer driver utility and the Adjustment program.
