The printer does not detect any files stored under the following
directories or their sub-directories.
• Directories containing system properties or hidden properties.
• “RECYCLED” (Windows directory for deleted files)
• “PREVIEW” (directories of CASIO DSC for thumbnail images)

1.7.2.3 Automatic Detection of Images in Memory Card
When a memory card is inserted in the card slot on the printer, or when a memory card
is detected at power-on, the printer automatically searches for all images stored in the
card. When the card is removed, the printer erases the information on the all detected
files.

Trimming Function
A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating an image with the
types of photo frames handled by the printer. This function can be switched On/
Off. This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and an image to be printed are matched in length along
one side and the image is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on
that side. Any part of the image that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed
away (not printed). However, if the number of pixels of the longer side of the
image are more than twice as long as the shortest side, the trimming function is not
effective when printing even the trimming is set. The trimming function is always
set On if borderless or upper half layout is selected.
Trimming On
• When an image is aligned vertically with the photo frame.
Trimming Off
• When an image is aligned vertically with the photo frame.
Photo frame

Blank area
• When an image is aligned horizontally with the photo frame.

Rules on Numbering and Rotating Images
The numbers shown in the figure below indicate the photo frame numbers used for
the print layout. Horizontally oriented images are printed as shown by the
numbers. Vertically oriented images, which has more pixels vertically than
Trimmed areas
horizontally, the vertical photo data is allocated instead, and the number shown in
the figure below is then rotated 90 degrees before being printed. In Index printing
Figure 1-7. Trimming Function (when trimming is being operated)
mode, the numbers are printed as they are shown below, regardless of the shape of
the photo data.
However, when the photo data has an equal number of pixels vertically and
horizontally the photos are printed without rotation, regardless of the layout.
NOTE: The vertical photo data refers to when the photo data file itself is set for a
vertical (portrait) orientation. Photo data is defined as the vertical photo
data if it is taken by a digital camera with a portrait position detecting
function.)

Epson Artisan 700/Epson Stylus Photo PX700W/TX700W Revision C
3.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to solve problems.
W ARNING
CHECK
P O I N T
Be careful to avoid electric shocks when checking the electrical
circuit boards while the power is turned on.
Touching an FET, transistor or heat sink with one hand while
touching a metal part of the mechanism with the other hand
could result in an electric shock, so carefully avoid this.
After initial filling of ink has been repeated several times,
immediate moving or tilting of the printer could result in
leaking of ink that has not been completely absorbed by the
Waste Ink Pad. When initial filling of ink has been repeated
several times, check the ink remaining in the tip of the Waste
Ink Tube and the waste ink not absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad
before moving the printer.
Disassembly and reassembly of parts is often required when
identifying the causes of problems. The parts should be
disassembled and re-assembled correctly while referring to
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.93)
and status of each check item can be correctly verified.
Some individual part and units may require adjustment once
they are removed or replaced. If removing or replacing parts
which have specific instructions for adjustment included in
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.93)
adjustments after repairing the problem location.
3.1.2 Preliminary Checks
Before starting troubleshooting, be sure to verify that the following conditions
are all met:
The power supply voltage must be within the specification limits. (Measure the
voltage at the wall socket.)
The power code must be free from damage, short circuit or breakage, or miswiring
in the power code.
so that the operation
, be sure to make these
The printer must be grounded properly.
The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to too high or
low temperature, too high or low humidity, or abrupt temperature change.
The printer should not be located near waterworks, near humidifiers, near heaters
or near flames, in a dusty atmosphere or in a place where the printer can be
exposed to blast from an air conditioner.
The printer should not be located in a place where volatile or inflammable gases
are produced.
The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to direct rays
of the sun.
The printer must be placed on a strong and steady level table (without an
inclination larger than five degrees).
Any vibrating equipment must not be placed on or under the printer.
The paper used must conform to the specification.
There is no error in handling of the printer.
3.1.1 Specified Tools
This printer does not require any specified tools for troubleshooting.
Check the inside of the printer, and remove foreign matters if any, such as paper
clips, staples, bits of paper, paper dust or toner.
Clean the inside of the printer and the rubber rolls.

4.1 Overview
This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of Epson
Artisan 700/Epson Stylus Photo PX700W/TX700W. Unless otherwise specified, disassembled units or components can be reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure.
Procedures which, if not strictly observed, could result in personal injury are described under
the heading “WARNING”. “CAUTION” signals a precaution which, if ignored, could
result in damage to equipment. Important tips for procedures are described under the
heading “CHECK POINT”. If the assembly procedure is different from the reversed
disassembly procedure, the correct procedure is described under the heading
“REASSEMBLY”. Any adjustments required after reassembly of components or parts
are described under the heading “ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED”. When you have to
remove any components or parts that are not described in this chapter, refer to the
exploded diagrams in the appendix.
Read the following precautions before disassembling and assembling.
4.1.1 Precautions
See the precautions given under the heading “WARNING” and “CAUTION” in the
following columns when disassembling or assembling Epson Artisan 700/Epson Stylus

W ARNING
Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or
assembling the printer.
If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly
follow the instructions in this manual.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to protect
your eyes from ink. If any ink gets in your eyes, wash your
eyes with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid
injury from sharp metal edges.
To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static
discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when
accessing internal components.
Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink
comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and
water immediately. If you have a skin irritation, consult a
doctor immediately.
W ARNING
C A U T I O N
When powering this product, high-voltage current may be
applied on some parts. To prevent ELECTRIC SHOCK, do
not touch the following parts when the power is ON. If the
shock should happen, the flowing current is very tiny, about a
few hundreds μA, therefore it will not do any harm on the
human body.
• SUB Board
• Cap section of the Ink System
• The cables and terminals that connect above mentioned parts
When transporting the printer after installing the ink cartridge,
pack the printer for transportation without removing the ink
cartridge and be sure to secure the Ink Cartridge to the printer
cover with tape tightly to keep it from moving.
Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling or
adjusting the printer.
Observe the specified torque when tightening screws.
Apply lubricants as specified. (See Chapter 6
“MAINTENANCE” (p247) for details.)
Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the
printer. (See Chapter 5 “ADJUSTMENT” (p209) for details.)
When reassembling the Waste Ink Tube, make sure that the
tip of waste ink tube is placed in the correct position, otherwise
ink may leak.
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.
Improper usage of the tool may adversely affect the quality
seriously. Make sure to strictly observe the procedures in this
manual to disassemble and assemble this product using proper
tools.
After disassembling/assembling, set the Transmission Arm to
the Ink System position to avoid a fatal error caused by the
locked Carriage. (See “ 4.2.4.6 Ink System (p135) ”.)

When printing the CDR, the CDR Tray feed amount is adjusted
with compensation considering the deterioration of the CDR Tray,
and the correction level is determined by the number of printed
CDRs. If the data on the EEPROM can not be copied when
replacing the Main Board, banding may occur while printing CDR
due to improper corrections caused because the data of the number
of printed CDRs can not be transferred.
When this happens, replace the CDR Tray Assy with a new one
together with the Main Board. (See 4.2.4.8 "CDR Tray Assy"
(p140).)
