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, for 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.In order to protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components.
6.Do not tilt this product immediately after initial ink charge, especially after performing the ink charge several times. Doing so may cause ink to leak from the product because it may take some time for the waste ink pads to completely absorb ink wasted due to the ink charge.
7.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.
Confidential

WP-4540/4530/4520/4510/4020/4010 series uses the optical sensor to control itself. The following describes the operating principles of optical sensor control.
Control method
To ensure accurate printing, each part must be controlled to make an adequate amount (time) of movement. The optical sensors read the amount (time) of movements as follows to printer to control it for achieving accurate printing.
1.Rotates the motors for control of the printer, and transmits drive force to the each part via the gear or the timing belt.
2.The encoder reads the drive amount of each part from the scale one by one to printer to monitor that the part drives for an adequate amount (time).
Controlled parts
The following table lists where the optical sensor control is used.

Operating principles
The following describes the paper feed mechanism drive control as an example of the actual operation for the optical sensor.
The PF scale consists of light-passing and light-blocking portions on its surface, and runs through the slit between the encoder’s light-emitting and light-receiving devices. While the printer is operating, the encoder always emits light from light-emitting device toward the light-receiving device, and the light-receiving device detects light when the light is transmitted through the light-passing portion of the scale, and does not detect light when the light is blocked by the light-blocking portion of the scale. According to the counts of light-detected and non detected times, the printer controls paper feed drive direction and amount.
When the encoder cannot read light-emitting/blocking counts correctly due to the misalignment, broken or contaminated scale, paper jam, foreign object and increasing a load, the fatal error occurs and the printer stops.
