Remarks
Note* : FAT32 is not specified in the xD-Picture card standards. This printer supports only reading of xD-Picture card formatted in FAT32.
Note: • Memory Stick/PRO, SD/MMC and xD-Picture Card shares the same slot.
• When cards are inserted in the two slots at once, the slot which will be accessed first is determined according to the priority shown in the table.
• To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, first remove the card in the active slot.
• In memory card direct printing mode, the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is inserted in another nonselected slot.
• When the card inserted in the slot is accessed from the PC, only one drive is displayed at a time as a removable disk* and only the card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the
removable disk. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed. (This is for Windows. For Macintosh, the card in the active slot will be mounted on the desktop.)
• Does not support 5V type of memory cards.
• When a memory card is being accessed, do not touch the memory card.
• For detailed information on the supported file system and formatting the memory card, refer to “ 1.7.2 Memory Card Direct Print Function (Photos Mode) ( p. 28 ) ”.

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.
Rules on Numbering and Rotating Images
Figure 1-8. Trimming Function (when trimming is not operated)
The numbers shown in Figure 1-9 indicate the photo frame numbers used for the
print layout. Horizontally oriented images are printed as shown by the numbers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Specification for Each Function 34
Vertically oriented images, which has more pixels vertically than 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 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.)
Printing operations (selecting images to be printed, making print settings, starting/
canceling printing, and monitoring print process) can be carried out from a directly
connected DSC (Digital Still Camera) that conforms to the standard described below.

2.3 Printer Initialization
There are four kinds of initialization method, and the following explains each
initialization
1.Hardware initialization
This printer is initialized when turning the printer power on, or printer recognized
the cold-reset command (remote RS command).
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed.
(a) Initializes printer mechanism
(b) Clears input data buffer
(c) Clears print buffer
(d) Sets default values
2.Operator initialization
Initialization when resetting the USB software, and the following are performed
(a) Clears input data buffer
(b) Clears print buffer
(c) Sets default values
3.Software initialization
The ESC@ command also initialize the printer.
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed.
(a) Clears print buffer
(b) Sets default values
4.IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command initialization
The printer recognized the IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command.
When printer is initialized, the following action is performed.
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.95) so that the operation
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.95), be sure to make these
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.
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.
For the position of each sensor/motor, see 2.1.3 " Motors & Sensors "
(p.45).
3.2.1 Motor and Sensor Troubleshooting
Motors
The resistance values for the CR motor and the PF motor are given below, however, the values cannot be used to check the motors status since they are DC motor and the resistance
between the electric poles varies. Visually check the motors for abnormal operation and if it is hard to judge, replace the motor.

This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of Epson
Artisan 810/Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW/TX810FW/Epson Artisan 710/Epson
Stylus Photo PX710W/TX710W. 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 810/Epson Stylus
Photo PX810FW/TX810FW/Epson Artisan 710/Epson Stylus Photo PX710W/
TX710W.
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.
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.
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” (p230) for details.)
Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the
printer. (See Chapter 5 “ADJUSTMENT” (p193) 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

Some pictures in this manual are for Artisan 800/Epson Stylus Photo
PX800FW/TX800FW and Artisan 700/Epson Stylus Photo PX700W/
TX700W; therefore, the shapes of the parts are different from those of
Artisan 810/PX810FW/TX810FW and Artisan 710/PX710W/TX710W,
but the differences does not affect the disassembly/reassembly procedures.
The colored blocks indicate the following.
• Red:Basically the disassembling procedures are in common with both
Artisan 810/PX810FW/TX810FW and Artisan 710/PX710W/
TX710W, but some parts differ in shape.
• Blue:Artisan 810/PX810FW/TX810FW only.
• Yellow: Artisan 710/PX710W/TX710W only.
The parts surrounded with dotted line are not the shortest ways of
removing them, but you need to remove the parts/units if they exist on the
way to the target part/unit.
