

Double bin ASF(second bin option)



Manual feeding from the top cover of first bin and from the rear with opened rear cover.



Paper volume for ASF/Paper size sensor/Paper type sensor

Note)

or media type lever wrong.



Increased paper loading capacity in the paper tray (55 g/m sheets/ Standard, option ASF)



Windows/Macintosh exclusive

250 cut

Rev.A

Note)

Cyan/Magenta ink is united as one, which light color and ordinary color ink are separated. The reason why that ink life span is not so different from others even though they are separated is that users are usually unable to perform printing which require strict separation of light color and ordinary color. Therefore, since light color and ordinary color inks are adjusted to be used alternately on the application, the life span of Cyan/Magenta does not become simply half life span of the other inks.

BUFFER OPERATION

Stylus Pro5000 starts sending BUSY signal when it acknowledges no available area left in the buffer. When the host keeps receiving this signal for a long time, it acknowledges as time out and stops sending data.

INTERFACE SELECTION

The printer has 3-built in interfaces; the parallel interface and serial interface, and has 1 optional Type-B interface card slot. These interfaces are selected manually by the default setting mode or selected automatically. (However, it is necessary to set these settings within the maintenance mode level 1 of the panel operation.)



Manual Selection:

One of three interfaces can be selected by the default setting mode.

Rev.A

EPSON Stylus Pro 5000 Chapter1 Product Description



Automatic Selection:

The automatic interface selection is enabled by the default setting mode. In this automatic interface selection mode, the printer is initialized to the idle state scanning which interface receives data when it is powered on. Then the interface that receives data first is selected. When the host stops data transfer and the printer is in the stand-by state for the seconds, the printer is returned to the idle state. As long as the host sends data or the printer interface is busy state, the selected interface is let as it is.

Following explains conditions of other interfaces when a particular interface is selected.



When the parallel interface is not selected, the interface gets into BUSY state. At this time, LH signal is set to “L”. That means blocking power supply and no responds from 1284. Therefore, it is necessary for the host, which requires Reverse transfer, to check LH state.



When the serial interface is not selected, the interface sets the DTR signal MARK.



When the optional interface is not selected, Off-Line bit is set to Main Status Register(MNSTS).



When the printer is initialized or returned to the idle state, Parallel interface becomes the ready condition and DTR of serial interface becomes SPACE(Low) condition and reset off-line bit of Main Status Register(MNSTS)to, option interface.



/INIT signal on the parallel interface is not effective while that interface is not selected or nibble Mode, ECP Mode.

ERROR CONDITION

Stylus Pro5000 goes to error condition when it falls to the following conditions. Out of Centronics interface signals, BUSY signal is set High and /ERROR signal is set LOW. Then, the printer goes to unprintable state, stopping data input from outside. Once the error happens, the printer can go back to the standby position or ready status for printing again by removing the error causes.



Ink near end and Ink out Error When the printer runs out the most part of the ink of any one color, it warns ink-low and keeps printing. When the printer runs out the whole ink of any one color, it stops printing and indicates ink-out error. User is requested to install a new ink-cartridge in this state. A ink-cartridge once taken out should never be used again. Reinstallation of the cartridge not filled fully upsets the ink level detection and may cause a serious problem in the print head as a result.

Paper out sensor When there is no paper in the paper tray, or paper tray itself is not installed, this sensor detects and goes paper out error.



Paper loading miss: When printer fails to load a sheet or PE sensor does not detect the paper on the path, it goes paper out error.



Paper Jam Error Even when the paper feeding is performed at the power on, if the PE sensor detects the paper on the paper path or fails to eject a paper by FF command or Eject button, the printer considers it as paper jam and goes to the error condition. In the Stylus Pro5000, the linear encoder monitors detection of paper jam in the carriage running range.



No ink-cartridge When the printer detects that ink cartridge comes off or is not installed, it goes to the error condition.

CAUTION

Rev.A

Although there is no worry of bubble invasion by pulling out or installing the ink cartridge, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points.

1)If the ink cartridge is once removed and installed again in the condition that the ink out(end) sensor detects the ink is still in, ink consumption based on the previous ink life will be kept counting.

2)If the ink cartridge is once removed and the ink cartridge whose left ink quantity is little is installed again in the condition that the ink is still in, Stylus Pro5000 goes to the ink out error condition, even though there is still enough ink in it.



Maintenance Request When the total quantity of ink wasted through the cleanings and flushing reaches to the limit, printer indicates this error and stops. The absorber(waste ink pad) in the printer enclosure is needed to be replaced with new one by a service person. This error does not recover until the waste ink pad is replaced and “0” is written to the particular address in the EEPRON by a service man.



Fatal Errors When fatal errors such as carriage control error or CG access error are detected, the printer goes to error condition and stops. Repair service is required for this error.

Note)

By referring to the printing pattern on the previous page, it becomes possible to check ink discharge conditions (or dot missing or alignment failure) from all nozzles in each color. As an example, refer to “A” ∼ “D” lines shown on the black nozzle pattern. “A” line is printed by black nozzle #1 to #16, “B” line is by #17 to #32, “C” line is by #33 to #48, and “D” is #49 to #64. Since the nozzle for different colors is also aligned in the same way, you can consider in the same way.

Maintenance Error occurs at the point either A or B becomes full counter condition. In other words, it occurs when A becomes 46650, or B becomes 47200. Since the value is indicated by HEX indication, it is recommended to use the exclusive program to check the counter value.

Paper check mode

This setting decides to turn the paper check function on or off. For Stylus Pro5000, it is necessary to match the lever located paper feed cassette(tray) above to the presently used paper type (media type) and its size. If the PC which supports bi-directional communication is used, it is not necessary to make this paper check setting effective(on), because the user can change the lever positions on the cassette, according to the error message on the PC screen. However, if the user uses the PC which does not support the bidirectional communication, it is necessary to set this mode on the printer body, since he/she can not check the error message on the computer screen.

Manual feed slots paper thickness - Auto mode

The setting for Manual feed thick paper and auto mode is the function only to deal with using manual feed slots(front/rear). After checking the result of the printing by the manual feeding, this function becomes effective when the printing is blurry or faint. The reason why there is this kind of function only for manual feeding is that the printer can not recognize the paper thickness, unlike the other paper feed cassettes. There is no influence on the other paper feeding path(or standard cassette or optional cassette), when this function becomes effective. Also, unless this function is set effective, manual paper feeding always make PG(platen gap) big or wider and perform printing. Following shows conditions when the PG becomes wider(big).
