Table 2-1. Motors

Used for carriage driving. Makes little noise during driving. The CR linear scale and CR encoder sensor are used to control the motor.

Drives the Paper loading rollers at the time of fixedvalue paper loading or paper feed/eject operation. To grasp the paper feed pitch, the precision gear surface is fitted with the PF scale and the PF encoder sensor is used to control the motor.

Drives the Carriage Unit at the time of PG setting. The two APG Sensors are driven vertically to control the motor.

Drives the paper feed operation of the ASF. Since this is a stepping motor, any scales or photo sensors to know the driving conditions are not required.

Drives the pump, wiper, etc. of the Ink System. Since this is a stepping motor, any scales or photo sensors to know the driving conditions are not required.

The basic mechanism is almost same as the Epson Stylus Photo R1900. The schematic diagram below shows the printer mechanism.

2.7 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.

 Initialization when an error occurs.

(a) Initializes printer mechanism (b) Clears input data buffer (c) Clears print buffer (d) Sets default values

 Initialization in normal operation

(a) Clears input data buffer (b) Clears print buffer (c) Sets default values

3.1 Overview

This chapter describes unit-level troubleshooting.

3.1.1 Troubleshooting according to Error Messages

After checking the printer LED and STM3 error indications, you can grasp the fault location using the check list in this section. When you find the fault location, refer to Chapter 4 “Disassembly and Reassembly” and change the corresponding part and/or unit. The following table indicates the check point reference tables corresponding to the error states (LED and STM3).

Check all connections and make sure all devices are on. If the power was turned off during printing, cancel the print job. If the error does not clear, see your printer documentation.

Different device from specified

Attempting to connect to a different device from that specified in the driver. Check the driver settings and the device.

Printer cover open

Close the printer cover.

Paper out or not loaded correctly

Reload the paper, then press the Paper button on the printer or click the [Continue] button if it appears on the screen. To cancel the print job, click the [Cancel] button if it appears on the screen.

Paper jam

Press the Paper button on the printer or click the [Eject] button when it appears on the screen. Remove any remaining jammed paper by hand.

Page not printed or multi-page error

A page has not been printed, multiple pages have been fed into the printer at once, or the wrong paper size has been fed into the printer. Remove and reload the paper. Press the Paper button if necessary.
