General Precautions

To prevent possible accidents during maintenance work, strictly observe the servicing warnings and cautions described in this manual.

Power Supply

WARNING Before starting any service procedure, turn the printer power off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

When the power supply cable must be connected, be aware of the potential for electrical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.

Do not touch any live parts unless instructed to do so.

Make sure to ground the printer properly. Otherwise a short circuit may cause an electric fire or shock.

Handle the power cable with care observing the precautions listed below.

•Do not plug too many leads into a single socket.

•Do not damage or tamper with the power cable.

•Avoid putting heavy objects on the cable, plucking it, and bending it forcedly. To do so may damage the cable and cause an electric fire and shock.

•Do not insert or remove the power cable with wet hands to prevent electric shock.

•Never replace the fuse on the Power Supply Board (high pressure/low pressure) under any circumstances.

Mechanical Components

WARNING			When servicing any driving assembly (e.g., gears), turn the power off and unplug the power cord to prevent injuries.
			Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is operating.

High Temperature Assembly

WARNING When working with hot parts (Fuser Unit etc.), turn the power off and unplug the power cord to prevent burns or injuries. After unplugging the power cable, wait until the part or unit

cools down before starting maintenance work.

Make sure to wait the hot section to cool enough especially when accessing near the section immediately after printing.

HIGH TEMPERATURE

00000101

Laser Beam

WARNING Understand hazardous nature of the laser beam, use extreme caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you. Letting a laser beam get directly into your eyes could result in loss of vision.

Since the laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light), the beam has excellent monochromaticity and convergence, thus it reaches long distances. Because of these characteristics, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature, which is harmful to the human body.

Never turn the interlock switch on forcibly while servicing to prevent the laser beam from
emitting accidentally. The interlock switch is designed to be turned off when the cover D is
opened.	Cover D

When performing maintenance work, be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord.

If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual.

Never disassemble the Laser Scanner Unit under any conditions.

Be sure to take off a wristwatch, ring or any other metal materials especially when working on the printer with the power applied.

00000201

Handling Parts

WARNING Be careful not to throw out your back when handling heavy parts while taking care not to drop those parts.

Always wear gloves to perform maintenance work since the printer has many sharp edges.

Do not work with wet or oily hands, or may cause you to drop parts or affect the function of the printer.

Use only specified genuine parts for maintenance.

Do not repair or replace the ICs and other electrical components on the power circuit board (including fuse) under any circumstances.

Handling Consumables

WARNING To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any consumables close to flame or throw them into fire.

Take extra care not to inhale the developing powder (such as toner), and get it into your mouth and eyes. Use extreme caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you.

Before starting your work, spread a sheet of paper over the working place to prevent interior of the product and the place becoming tainted.

If the developer or oil adheres to your skin or clothes, wipe it off thoroughly with dry rags before rinsing with water.

Do not disassemble the toner cartridges.

To prevent ignition, explosion, burn, injury, etc., do not use a general vacuum cleaner for cleaning dropped toner. (To do so may cause the toner to catch fire by sparks in the vacuum cleaner.)

00000301

Irregular Use of the Printer

WARNING Cautions when performing work with covers or parts removed

•As a general rule, do not power the printer while covers or parts are removed.

•If you need to remove covers or parts from the printer with power applied, take care of your fingers and clothes so as not to get entangled by moving parts such as the driving belt, gears, and fans.

Altering the printer is banned under any circumstances.

Revision A

1.1 Overview

This printer is a non-impact color page printer that takes advantage of a laser and electrophotographic technologies.

It provides 600 dpi of resolution and 7.5 ppm (A4, color printing) or 30 ppm (A4, monochrome printing) of print speed.

1.1.1 Engine Features

High speed 4-cycle A4 engine

Table 1-1. Print Speed (When Printing A4)

	Color printing	Monochrome printing
Simplex printing	7.5 ppm	30 ppm
Duplex printing	7.5 ppm	20 ppm

Two models: color and monochrome

The monochrome model has one black toner cartridge bundled as standard. Adding three black toner cartridges (option) allows the printer to print up to 20,000 copies. Furthermore, the monochrome model can be upgraded to color model.

The color model can be operated as monochrome model by replacing the color toners with black ones or removing them.

Compact and light weight, suitable for desktop placement

Expanded RAM: 512 MB (When two 256 MB DIMMs are installed.)

Support for optional large capacity, 40 GB HDD.

Color technology

nPGI, which allows low price, high quality printing

Wide LCD panel with backlight

The new wide LCD panel supporting a maximum of 22 digits and 5 lines (132 x 65 dots) provides improved operation and visibility.

Improved serviceability with the addition of the Help function (with description and graphics).

600 x 600 dpi

WARMING UP TIME

120 V: 80 seconds or less (at 23 °C, 55 % RH, rated voltage)

230 V: 80 seconds or less (at 23 °C, 55 % RH, rated voltage)

OPERATION MODE

This engine supports the following operation modes.

B/W mode:	Supports Toner cartridge K x 1
4xB/W mode:	Supports Toner cartridge K x 4
Color mode:	Supports Toner cartridges Y x 1, M x 1, C x 1, and K x 1.
PRINT MODE
Color mode:	Color mode using Y, M, C, K toner (color mode only)

Monochrome mode: Normal black and white mode, enabling printing at the highest speed of the main unit.

PRINTING SPEED MODE

Std. mode (plain paper 1): Makes prints at the maximum speed of the engine.

Std. mode (plain paper 2): This mode is to make prints on papers with less

fixability (such as bond papers) at the maximum speed of the engine. As the fuser unit takes a substantial amount of time to increase its temperature for fixing toner onto the papers firmly, the first print time becomes slow. When it comes to a continuous printing, however, the printing can be performed at the maximum speed of the engine.

Low speed mode 1:	Slows down the speed of printing on papers with
	thickness of 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or more to sustain the
	fixability.
Low speed mode 2:	Slows down the speed of printing on envelopes for the
	better fixability or on transparents for the stable
	permeability.

EPSON AcuLaser C2600/2600

Revision A

1.9 Consumables/Periodic Replacement Unit

CAUTION The print page-based service life values of the Consumables and Periodical Replacement Parts are guidelines. The number of

printable pages changes depending on how they are printed. The number of printable pages decreases depending on the intermittent

printing (where a few pages, one to several pages, are printed each time), paper size, paper orientation, thick paper printing, printed document, frequent power-on/off, etc. Hence, the number of printable pages of the consumables and periodical replacement parts may become less than a half depending on the operating conditions and environment of the user.
