The film under sealing film attached on the Ink Supply Tank Assy of this
printer is ventilation film. The ink in the ink tanks is vented to atmosphere
through this film to keep ink supply to the Printhead stable. If the film gets wet
with ink, the ink in the tanks is not properly vented and printing may not be
capable.
In order to prevent this from occurring, make sure to place the Ink Supply Tank
Assy as shown below after removing it.

Maintenance Item
Head cleaning
Maintenance counter
Ink charge
Small ink counter reset
This function is used to execute Cleaning efficiently when ink is not
delivered from the Head properly, e.g. dot missing.
The printer causes a maintenance error when the maintenance counter
(for the Waste Ink Tray, Waste Ink Pad Lower) reaches its maximum.
Use this to reset the counter after replacing the Waste Ink Pad and Waste
Ink Pad Lower, and use this to reset the ink tube counter when replacing
the Ink Supply Tube. If you find the counter is close to the maximum
during servicing, carry out the pad replacement and the counter reset to
avoid the printer returned from the user due to the maintenance error.
This function is used to charge ink to the components composing the ink
path such as Printhead after replacing them.
When an ink out error occurs even though some ink is still in the Ink
Supply Tank Assy (in the case when the ink counter in the printer and the
actual ink remaining amount do not match), this function can decrease
the ink counter (resetting the counter partially) to adjust the counter with
the actual ink remaining amount.
PurposeMethod OutlineTool
The cleaning can be selected from the normal cleaning or the power
cleaning. Whether to reflect the discharged ink amount to the waste ink
pad counter or not can also be selected as an option. The head cleaning is
performed automatically. After the cleaning, print a nozzle ch
to check if all nozzles are firing ink properly.
Select the replaced parts, and reset the corresponding counters.
The ink charge can be selected from the charge to Printhead only or the
charge through Ink Tube, Adapter to Printhead. Whether to reflect the
discharged ink amount to the waste ink pad counter or not can also be
selected as an option.
Select the range to charge ink and options, and then press the execute
button to execute the ink charge to the selected range automatically.
After ink charge, print a nozzle check pattern to check if all nozzles are
firing ink properly.
If the execute button is pressed, the ink counter value is automatically
set. But if no ink out error is occurring, the message which says the
function cannot be executed appears and no reset will be made.

Depending on the sensor type of the scanner to use for the
adjustment, drying time required after the BRS adjustment
pattern has been printed differs. For PFP adjustment pattern/PFP
check pattern, drying time is not required.
For “CCD” sensor:
Printed pattern can be scanned straight away. (Drying time of
about 2 minutes is recommended.)
For “CIS” sensor:
Printed pattern needs to be dried more than 5 minutes.

L800/L801Revision A
3.1 Overview
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum
condition.
3.1.1 Cleaning
Except for the printhead, there are no other mechanical parts or units that
require periodic cleaning. However, if need arises, clean the component
observing the following instructions.
Instructions for cleaning
Exterior parts such as housing
Wipe dirt off with a soft clean cloth moistened with water.
For glossy or transparent parts, use of unwoven cloth is recommended to
avoid scratching those parts.
Inside of the printer
Remove paper dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Rubber or plastic rollers such as an LD roller used to feed paper
If paper dust adhered to the rollers decreases the frictional force of the rollers
and the rollers cannot properly feed paper, wipe off the paper dust with a soft
cloth moistened with diluted alcohol.
Instructions for cleaning ink stains
Wipe the stains off with a cloth wrung out of diluted alcohol.
C A U T I O N
Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so
may cause them to get cloudy.
When wiping paper dust off the LD roller, be careful not to rub
against the surface asperity.
To minimize the effect on the parts, use diluted alcohol such as
70% diluted ether.
After using alcohol for cleaning, make sure to wipe the part off
with a soft dry dust-free cloth to remove alcohol traces fully.
3.1.2 Service Maintenance
If any abnormal print (dot missing, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer
indicates the “Maintenance request error”, take the following actions to clear
the error.
(This error is displayed in EPSON Status Monitor 3 and with LED.)
3.1.2.1 Printhead cleaning
When dot missing or banding appears on images, run the Printhead cleaning
cycle.* The cleaning be activated from the control panel, the printer driver
utility or the Adjustment program.
Note * :This printer has three manual cleaning modes. The appropriate cleaning mode is
automatically selected and performed according to various conditions. The ink
consumption amount for manual cleaning varies depending on the mode.
3.1.2.2 Maintenance request error
Ink is consumed also for cleaning and flashing operations. When the ink is used
for cleaning and flashing operations, the ink is drained to the Waste Ink Pads
via the Pump. The amount of the waste ink is stored as the waste ink counter
into the EEPROM. When the waste ink counter has reached the limit of the
absorbing capability of the Waste Ink Pads, the maintenance request error is
displayed. This printer takes the ink evaporation amount into consideration,
therefore the counter limit differs depending on how often printing is made.
When the maintenance request error appears, replace the Waste ink pads with a
new one and reset the waste ink counter using the Adjustment program. If the
waste ink counter is close to its limit, recommend that the Waste ink pads will
be replaced with new one. This is because the “Maintenance request error” will
may occur after returning the repaired product to the customer.

*1
13-2.The carriage slowly moves to the 0-digit side.
13-3.The carriage slowly returns to its home position.
14.CR lock setting
14-1.The carriage slowly moves to the CR lock set
position.
14-2.The PF Motor rotates counterclockwise, and sets
the CR lock.
14-3.The carriage slowly returns to its home position.
Note *1: The rotation direction of the PF Motor is as follows.
Clockwise:Paper is fed normally
Counterclockwise: Paper is fed backward
*2: The condition of the CR lock is as follows.
Red:CR lock is set
White: CR lock is released
*3: Indicates the PG position. “Any position” means that the PG position is not
recognized because APG is not reset yet.
*4: Checks if the carriage is not deadlock such as the CR lock is caught in the gap of the
carriage.
*5: Eject the paper if any.
*6: When paper exists, the existing measurement value saved in EEPROM is read out;
therefore, the PF Motor does not rotate.
*7: Executes when the detected temperature is under 5
the Printhead.
*8: The empty sanction operation may occur depending on the situation.
*9: If paper remains in the printer, the PF Roller rotates by steps enough to eject the
paper forcibly.
