PRECAUTIONS
Precautionary notations throughout the text are categorized relative to 1)Personal injury and 2) damage to equipment.
DANGER Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in serious or fatal personal injury. Great caution should be exercised in performing
procedures preceded by DANGER Headings.
WARNING Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in damage to equipment.
The precaut i o n ary measures itemized below should always be observed when performing repair/maintenance procedures.
DANGER
1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PRODUCT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
REPAIR PROCEDURES.
2. NOWORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THE UNIT BY PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH BASIC SAFETY MEASURES AS DICTATED FOR ALL
ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS IN THEIR LINE OF WORK.
3. WHEN PERFORMING TESTING AS DICTATED WITHIN THIS MANUAL, DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE CONNECTED, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN WORKING ON POWER
SUPPLY AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
WARNING
1. REPAIRS ON EPSON PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN EPSON CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN.
2. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SOURCE VOLTAGES IS THE SAME AS THE RATED VOLTAGE, LISTED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER/RATING
PLATE. IF THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS A PRIMARY AC RATING DIFFERENT FROM AVAILABLE POWER SOURCE, DO NOT CONNECT IT TO
THE POWER SOURCE.
3. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING OR
REPLACING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND/OR INDIVIDUAL CHIPS.
4. IN ORDER TO PROTECT SENSITIVE MICROPROCESSORS AND CIRCUITRY, USE STATIC DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS ANTI-STATIC
WRIST STRAPS, WHEN ACCESSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
5. REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENTS ONLY WITH THOSE COMPONENTS BY THE MANUFACTURE; INTRODUCTION OF SECONDSOURCE ICs OR OTHER NONAPPROVED COMPONENTS MAY DAMAGE THE PRODUCT AND VOID ANY APPLICABLE EPSON WARRANTY.

1.3.1.4 Prevention Hosts from Data Transfer Time-out
Generall y, hosts a bandon data transfer to peripherals when a peripheral is in the busy
state for dozens of seconds continuously. To preve nt hosts from this kind of time-out ,
the printer receives data very s l owly, several by tes per minute , even if the printer is in
busy state. This slowdown is started when the rest of the input buffer becomes several
hundreds of bytes. Finally, the printer is in the busy state continuously when the input
buffer is full.
USB and IEEE1284.4 on the parallel interface do not require this function.
1.3.1.5 Interface Selection
The printer has 2 built-in interfaces; the USB and parallel interface.
These interfaces are selected automatically.
- Automatic selection
In this au to matic in ter fa ce se lec tio n mo d e , th e p r in ter is initia liz e d to th e idle sta te
scanning which interface receives data w hen it is po wered on. Then the interface that
receives data first is selected. When the host stops data tra n sfer and the printer is in th e
sta nd -b y sta te fo r the s ec o nd s , th e pr inte r is re tu rn ed to th e id le s ta te. As lo n g a s th e
h os t se nd s d ata o r th e p rin te r in ter fa ce is b u sy s tate , th e s ele c ted in te rfa ce is let a s it i s.
- Inte rface state and interface selection
Wh en the p arallel interface is not selected, the interface got in to th e b u sy state . W h en
th e p rin te r is initia lize d o r re tu rn ed to th e id le s ta te, th e p ara lle l inte rfa c e got into t he
ready state. Caution that the interrupt signal such as the -INIT signal on the parallel
interface is no t effective w hile that interface is not selected.
1.3.1.6 IEEE1284.4 protocol
The packet protocol described by IEEE1284.4 standard allows a device to carry on
multiple exchange s or conversations which contain data and/or control information
with another devic e at the same ti me across a singl e point-t o-point l in k. The protocol is
not, however, a device control language. It does provide basic transp ort-level flow
control and multip lexing s ervic es. The multipl exed log ic al cha nnels are inde penden t of
each other and blocking of one has no effect on the others. The protocol operate over
IEEE1284.
Automatic selection
A n initial sta te is c o m pa tib le inte rfac e a n d starts IEEE1284.4 comm unication when
m agic strings (1284.4 synchronous comm ands) are received.
On
An initial s ta te is IEE E1284.4 comm unication and data that received it by the time it is
able to take synchronization by m agic string (1284.4 synchronous com mands) is
discarded.
Off
A n initial sta te is c o m pa tible inte rfac e a n d ne ve r starts IE E E1 2 84 .4 co m m u n ica tion
even if m agic strings (1284.4 synchronous commands) are received.

Ink out
When the printer runs out most of the ink of any co lor, it warns of an ink low condition
and keeps printing. When the ink cartridge is completely empty, t he printer stops
printing and generates I nk out error. In this condition , the ink cartridge must be
replaced with a new one. Not e an ink cartridge that is once taken out must not be used
again. Reinstalling of ink cartridges whose ink level is not full upsets the ink level
detection and may cause serious problems in the printheads.
Paper out
When the printer fails to load a sh eet of paper, it goes int o the Paper Out error
condition.

When the printer fails to eject a sheet of paper, it goes into the Paper Jam error
condition.
