All safety procedures described here shall be strictly adhered to by all parties servicing and maintaining this
product.
DANGER
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious bodily injury or loss of life.
1. Always disconnect the product from the power source and peripheral devices when servicing the product or
performing maintenance.
2. When performing works described in this manual, do not connect to a power source until instructed to do so.
Connecting to a power source causes high voltage in the power supply unit and some electronic components
even if the product power switch is off. If you need to perform the work with the power cable connected to a
power source, use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock.
WARNING
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or loss of life.
1. Always wear protective goggles for disassembly and reassembly to protect your eyes from ink in working. If
any ink gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
2. When using compressed air products; such as air duster, fo r cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use
of such products containing flammable gas is prohibited.
PRECAUTIONS
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or damage of the product.
1. Repairs on Epson product should be performed only by an Epson certified repair technician.
2. No work should be performed on this product by persons unfamiliar with basic safety knowledge required for
electrician.
3. The power rating of this product is indicated on the serial number/rating plate. Never connect this product to
the power source whose voltages is different from the rated voltage.
4. Replace malfunctioning components only with those components provided or approved by Epson;
introduction of second-source ICs or other non-approved components may damage the product and void any
applicable Epson warranty.
5. The capacitors on the Main Board may be electrically charged right after the power turns off or after driving
motors which generates counter electromotive force such as when rotating the PF Roller or when moving the
CR Unit. There is a risk to damage the Main Board if the Head FFC is short-circuited with the capacitors on
the Main Board electrically charged, therefore, after the power turns off or after motors are driven, leave the
printer untouched for approximately 30 seconds to discharge the capacitors before starting disassembly/
reassembly.
6. To prevent the circuit boards from short-circuiting, be careful about the following when handling FFC or
cables.
When handling FFC, take care not to let the terminal section of FFC touch metal parts.
When connecting cables/FFC to the connectors on circuit boards, connect them straight to the connectors to avoid
slant insertion.

1.2 Power-On Sequence
This section describes the power-on sequences in two conditions. The preconditions are as follows.
Condition 1: Normal power-on sequence (See Table 1-1.)
Turning on the printer after turning it off without an error.
Initial ink charge has finished and every cartridge has sufficient ink.
No paper on the paper path.
The Printhead is capped with the Cap Assy.
The CR Unit is normally fixed by the Change Lever.
Maintenance error recovery has never been performed.
Table 1-1. Condition 1: Normal Power-on Sequence
Operation
1. Printhead initialization and fuse inspection

3-2.The CR Unit moves to the 0-digit side slowly.
3-3.After the PE Sensor checks if paper exists, the PF Motor rotates clockwise for one second and releases the CR lock.
3-4.While checking if the CR Unit does not touch the Change Lever (CR lock) or the foreign material, the CR Unit
moves to the 80-digit side slowly until it touches the Left Frame.
3-5.The distance from the position where the CR Unit touched to the Left Frame is regarded as the standard distance
from the origin position, and the home position is fixed.
From then on, the CR Unit position is monitored according to the signals from the CR Encoder.
3-6.The CR Unit moves to near its home position quickly.
4. Detecting ink cartridge and initializing ink system
4-1.To check the operation of the PIS Sensor and to detect ink, the CR Unit moves back and forth over the PIS Sensor
two times.
4-2.The CR Unit returns to its home position.

To recover from the maintenance error, the dedicated software that can be downl oaded
from the web site which can be accessed from STM3 is required.
The printer operation related to the maintenance error recovery is as follows.
• When the waste ink counter reaches the threshold value (1) for the first time and the
maintenance error occurs, the counter threshold of the maintenance error is changed
to threshold value 2 after performing recovery from the maintenance error.
• After the threshold value (2) is enabled, the warning; to notify the possibility of ink
leakage out of the printer, is displayed every time the waste ink counter increases by
1%.
• If the waste ink counter reaches the threshold value (2), the maintenance error occurs.
Then, the waste ink counter is changed back to the threshold value (1) after recovering
from the maintenance error, and the warning is displayed repeatedly according to the
increment of the waste ink counter until the maintenance error occurs when the
threshold value (2) is reached.
(Recovery from the maintenance error can be performed up to the specified number
of times.)

3.1 Required Adjustments
The table from the following page lists the required adjustments depending upon the parts being repaired or
replaced. Find the part(s) you removed or replaced, and check which adjustment(s) must be carried out.
If the EEPROM data cannot be read out from the old Main Board using the Adjustment
Program when replacing the Main Board is required, the Waste Ink Pad Assy must be
replaced with the Main Board at the same time.
After all required adjustments are completed, use the “Final check pattern print”
function to print all adjustment patterns for final check. If you find a problem with the
printout patterns, carry out the adjustment again.
When replacing the Main Board, the adjustment should be made after performing the
initial setting.
In this chapter, the product names are called as follows:
• WF-2540 Series:WF-2540/WF-2548/WF-2541
• WF-2530 Series:WF-2530/WF-2532/WF-2538/WF-2531
• WF-2520 Series:WF-2520/WF-2528/WF-2521
• WF-2510 Series:WF-2510/WF-2511/WF-2512
• WF-2010 Series:WF-2010
The table items and marks used in the “Required Adjustment List” provided on the
following pages have the following meanings.
• “O” indicates that the adjustment must be carried out.
• “---” indicates that the adjustment is not required.
• The “Mechanism Adjustment” should be performed just after reinstalling or
reassembling the part or unit.
• The “Adjustments using the Adjustment Program” need to be performed after
reassembling the printer completely.
If you have removed or replaced multiple parts, make sure to check the required
adjustments for the all parts. And when multiple adjustments must be carried out, be
sure to carry out them in the order given in the “Priority” row.

Program screen
The printer cannot measure the current value of motor correctly, then the heat generation caused by motor
drive cannot be estimated accurately either, and which may results in trouble such as incorrect control of
motors when allotting a cool down period according to each heat generation.
In the worst case, excessive heat generation may cause smoke or ignition.

PurposePhoto Ink Sensor degradation and failure check.
Risks if the adjust-
ment is not correctly made
Procedure1. Set the ink cartridges.(The cartridges which is not ink end condition is used.)
Adjustment Program screen
If number of printing sheets increases, ink mist adheres to a sensor and the quantity of light of a sensor falls off
by becoming dirty, so that it is necessary to exchange PIS Board Assy (BOARD ASSY,.SUB).
By checking with a adjustment program, it is judged whether it is necessary to exchange PIS Board Assy
(BOARD ASSY,.SUB) simultaneously at the time of head exchange.
2. Close the scanner & Printer Cover.
3. Carry out a Photo Ink Sensor inspection with a Adjustment program.
4. If the message to which exchange of a PIS board Assy (BOARD ASSY., SUB) is urged is displayed, it is
judged that Photo Ink Sensor is in a degradation state.
Revision B
Remarks
If “PIS Board Check” is implemented with SCN open condition, you cannot get correct check result because of
the effects of the ambient light. Therefore, implement this with SCN close condition surely.

3.3 Mechanism Adjustment / Check
This section provides the procedure for the mechanism adjustment and check.
3.3.1 Checking the Platen Gap
This section describes the procedure for checking the platen gap (PG).
This printer does not have any PG adjustment mechanism, however, it is designed so that the
platen gap can fall within the expected range if you correctly reassemble the unit (including
using the Epson-specified jigs) according to this manual. If the PG cannot fall within the
standard range after performing the platen gap check described in this section, first check if
the unit is correctly reassembled following the instructions in this manual. Even if the unit is
correctly reassembled but the PG still cannot fall within the standard range, replace the unit
with a new/refurbished one.
The standard range of the PG is as follows:
• Standard: 1.8 ± 0.2 mm
Tools
Thickness gauge: 1.6 mm (x2), 2.0 mm (x2)
Confirmation procedure

3.3.2 CR/PF Belt Tension Check
This section describes the CR/PF Belt tension check.
This printer is designed so that the each tension of the CR Timing Belt and PF Timing
Belt fall within the expected range if you correctly reassemble the unit according to this
manual. However, deformation of any related part(s) can cause improper tension of the
belt. In such case, replace the unit with a new/refurbished one.
The standard tension range is as follows:
• CR Timing Belt: 9 ± 1 N
• PF Timing Belt: 5 ± 2.5 N
Tools
Sonic tension meter (Parts code: 1294120)
Plastic tweezers
Confirmation procedure
When performing the CR/PF Belt tension check, make sure of the following.
Bring the microphone of the sonic tension meter within 5 mm from the timing belt but do
not let it touch the belt.
Flip the timing belt as weak as the sonic tension meter can measure it.
Be careful not to damage the timing belt when flipping it with the plastic tweezers.

4.1 Overview
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.
4.1.1 Cleaning
Except for the Printhead, there are no other mechanical parts or units that require periodic cleaning. However, if
need arises, clean the component observing the following instructions.
Instructions for cleaning
Exterior parts such as housing
Wipe dirt off with a soft clean cloth moistened with water. For glossy or transparent parts, use of unwoven cloth is
recommended to avoid scratching those parts.
Inside of the printer
Remove paper dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Rubber or plastic rollers such as an LD roller used to feed paper
If paper dust adhered to the rollers decreases the frictional force of the rollers and the rollers cannot properly feed
paper, wipe off the paper dust with a soft cloth moistened with diluted alcohol.
Instructions for cleaning ink stains
Wipe the stains off with a cloth wrung out of diluted alcohol.
Revision B
Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so may cause them to get
cloudy.
When wiping paper dust off the LD Roller, be careful not to rub against the surface
asperity.
To minimize the effect on the parts, use diluted alcohol such as 70% diluted ether.
After using alcohol for cleaning, make sure to wipe the part off with a soft dry dust-free
cloth to remove alcohol traces fully.
4.1.2 Lubrication
The type and amount of the grease used to lubricate the printer parts are determined based on the results of the
internal evaluations. Therefore, refer to "4.2 Lubrication Points and Instructions (p69)" for the repairing
procedures below, and apply the specified type and amount of the grease to the specified part of the printer
mechanism.
"4.2 Lubrication Points and Instructions (p69)" also provides information about whether or not the parts which
require lubrication are supplied as ASP and the lubrication status when supplied as ASP. For the parts which are
not supplied as ASP, if their movement is not smooth enough, check their lubrication status and lubricate them if
necessary.
Operation of the Adjustment Program for refurbishment when performing the ink discharge
Ink discharge can be done by selecting and running “Ink Discharge” from the Adjustment Program for
refurbishment with the jig set on the printer.
At this point, the factory default values except the adjustment-related setting values are written on the EEPROM
on the Main Board of the printer. This is performed in order to erase the personal information including the
network settings and the operating information of the printer before refurbishment, etc.
This default value restoration is automatically done when performing the ink discharge by the Adjustment
Program for refurbishment automatically.
For the details of how to set the jigs for refurbishment and how to use the Adjustment
Program (for refurbishment), see guide in the Adjustment Program (for refurbishment).
Approximately four minutes are necessary for completing the Ink Discharge.
